I love bagpipes. I wanted to learn to play them when I was younger, but I think my parents threatened to disown me if I did. Or was it the accordion?

I prefer lutes and hurdy-gurdys.

Can you tell us what this link represents and where it will take us? Many of us are kinda wary of unidentified, blind links on an internet discussion board.

So you were...First in your class here at MIT
Got skills, you're a champion at D&D
M.C. Escher, that's your favorite M.C.
Keep my 40, you'll just have an Earl Grey tea
your rims never spin, to the contrary
I'll find that they're quite stationary
All of your action figures are Cherry
Stephen Hawking's in your library

your MySpace page is all totally pimped out
Got people beggin' for your top eight spaces
Yo, you know pi to a thousand places
Ain't got no grills but you still wear braces
you order all of your sandwiches with mayonnaise
you're a wiz at Minesweeper, you could play for days
Once I've see your sweet moves, I'm gonna stay amazed
Your fingers movin' so fast you'll set the place ablaze

There's no killer app you haven't run (run)
At Pascal, well You're number one (one)
Do vector calculus just for fun
You ain't got a gat, but you got a soddering gun (what?)
Happy Days is your favorite theme song
You could sure kick my butt in a game of ping pong
you'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
you're fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon?

Anybody heard of Gogol Bordello? I love their song "Start Wearing Purple". Both the song and the lead singer were featured throughout the movie "Everything Is Illuminated" with Elijah Wood... Apparently it's Gypsy/Punk music (which caused a strong negative reaction from my Romanian gilrfriend, which in turn, prompted me to download it as a ringtone

). It's a really up-beat song...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_81l4DXlwM

Blue Man Group's The Complex. Unique and unconventional sound. My brother's seen the live show in Chicago. Heard they're getting a new album together, too. Quite interested.

"Lullaby" by the Cure. Love that image of the spider coming to "have me for dinner tonight"...though it freaks me out at the same time....

Despina, do you mean David Draiman's "Forsaken"? If so, I LOVE that song. I got the Queen of the Damned soundtrack just for that.

I heard about them and I heard some of their music, because my daughter used to like them a few years ago, when she was in her late teens. What can I say... I don't get it...

All fine operas. But divine...that is best reserved for Wagner's Parsifal!

The soundtrack to the movie "Raging Bull" Scorcese selected pieces of opera from the Cavelleri (sic) Rusticana as well as a mix of swing and Big band cuts by Ella Fitzgerald, Gene Krupa, Harry James and 1940's Frank Sinatra.

After 6 pages or so, no one has pointed out my future wife (it's nice to dream sometimes), Nancy Agram. And yes, she can definitely sing as well.

Various stuff - Modest Mouse, Nina Simone, mix tape with salsa, David Bowie & The English Beat, but I'm really really liking a 2006 cd by a Denton TX group called Midlake (cd is Tales of Van Ocupanther). Anyone familiar with them? This is like the best of the 70's concept albums, just updated.

Talking about 70's concept albums, does anyone care to admit they remember or listened to Jeff Wayne's rock version of War of the Worlds? You either loved it or hated it.

The music is definately Arabesque. If I were to guess why, I would say it's either because she likes it or it's because of the Ottoman empire which itself was an amalgam of Arab/Persian influences. Musically speaking.
