Didgeridooz

I was wondering what music or band my long time friends thought of when it came to me.

One of my friends who just came off a 3 day streak of listening to Neal Diamond said he thinks of me listening to Rush and Michael Stearns. I go through a Rush phase every year or so, but only with the older stuff. Michael Stearns??...not so much these days. Michael Stearns is considered new age space music. I just don't do much space music these days unless I have a craving for Steve Roach. However, Michael Stearns will forever be stamped in my brain for his soundtrack to Baraka which is just as compelling as the amazing photography of that film.

Another friend who I associate with Flogging Molly said when it comes to me and music , he always thinks of electronic music in general, aka Daft Punk's score for Tron or old skool Kraftwerk. It's interesting how electronic music developed so many different genres over the years. I have eventually labled myself as one who listens to IDM.

One of my closest friends I met in college through a guy who lived in my dorm by the name of Anthony. Anthony said hey, I have a friend who listens to Skinny Puppy, you guys should hang out. So simple it seems, and we've been friends since. Our musical tastes were so close for quite a while, but have diverged over the years. He says I still think of you listening to didgeridoo music! Dude! Really? That's what you think of?!! It cracks me up though. He is currently into Arabic drumming.

Here is an example of didgeridoo music.


and here is a clip from Baraka because it's awesome!
