What Are You Listening To?

Wicked beats on CJSW (Calgary university station - best Friday night shows ever).

I just found out about the genre called Electro Swing.

Enya, because F yeah.

I hope she'll come up with a new CD in the not too far future.

And the next thing my iTunes plays is Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug (Meat Beat Manifesto)

Go figure.

Well, I may also listen to music (in Icelandic) aimed at pre-school  kids one minute, then go for century old orthodox chant and then jump to war songs from the Great Peasant and the 30 Years War (although many were written in the late 19th/early 20th century).
Conclusion: I must be a potential serial killer (infantile with violent tendencies, no other choice), possibly with religious undertones.

If I listen to a technical/progressive Death metal band and then I listen to Gyorgy Ligeti's Requiem or one of Gesualdo's madrigal next, what does that say about me?

[Swatopluk]

You won't believe how modern (i.e. atonal) some genuine old music can sound.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Circa anno 1000, Leonin but more importantly, Perotin can be quite dissonant.

And Gesualdo was considered unpleasant only a century ago.

[Swatopluk]

Beethoven's 3rd symphony got attacked for beginning with a dissonance. In the Middle Ages the third was considered dissonant, now it is the most important interval after the fifth in tonal music.

[Roland Deschain]

Dare you judge me for the first one. I stumbled upon this on tumblr, and decided to give it a go. Pleasantly surprised is definitely the word here. Please ignore the inherent sappiness and insipidness of the show.

The bolero of jealousy, pity it's quite hard to translate the humor.
