No, it certainly doesn’t…

But there are three rings of the loop. You need to decide which one is you.

There are those that are IN the loop.

There are those that are out of the loop.

And there are those that are clueless that a loop exists.

I’ve always preferred to be aware of the loop, to identify those within the loop, to form my own counter-loop, and then to mock the original loop unmercifully.

Hmmm… If I haven’t heard, or indeed heard *of* about half of these… does that make me uncool beyond belief? Soo… You like Oirish music then? Allow me to pimp Rapalje. They’re a Celtic folk band from the Netherlands, and Gootube has lots of their stuff.

Love it. A couple of my guild mates wonder what era I am from. Last time I checked I made it through the 80s without more than one perm….

you want oldie irish fun – the clancy brothers. I managed to make a tape of that record before it broke.

“Here’s to the woman that wears red shoes… smoked all my pot and drank all my booze… she’s older now but you know that’s no sin… she still has the box the cherry came in. Slainche.”

Yeah, some of Big John’s toasts were quite memorable. :)

Damn, I do miss our evenings of cigars, alcohol and getting the Tim Malloys hammered (and watching the resulting chaos). Big John had the greatest toasts

A friend had an extra ticket for me to go see Vampire Weekend recently in concert. Didn’t know anything about them before, enjoyed the concert, and then made a pandora.com channel based on Vampire Weekend. I really, really, really, really like that band now, bought both their albums (the first is preferable), and have been listening the heck out of them.

“The devastating backstroke
all the way from France
Shiny, shiny cuff links
the shirt sleeve to enhance
the pinstriped men of morning
are coming for to dance
we’ve got Egyptian cotton
the kids don’t stand a chance”

Ooo, I’ve been looking for more Celtic music and now I’m listening on to Silly Wizard on Spotify, thank you :D

And, er, I kinda like tATu and Shakira :(

I’m looking at that list and I have to say, some 50% of them don’t even ring a bell.

Pink Floyd!

All in all it’s just another bear on the wall!

Silly Wizard!?!?!?! A roommate of mine my freshman year in college gave me one of their cd’s and there are several songs on there I will never be able to get it out of my head. Something about a bird on a ship and his girl . . . *races off to dig through 800 + cd’s*

I thought I was the only person who knew of them!

Mmmkay. Music. Age.
Let’s see :)
Alan Parson’s Project. Urah Heep. Deep Purple. Pink Floyd. Emerson Lake & Palmer. Yes, Electric Light Orchestra, too :) Queen. Rush. Dick Dale and the Del-Tones. And many more.

I wonder if those bands might be an indicator that in comparison, BBB is a ‘cub’ :)

I listen to pretty much anything from Gregorian Chants to (but excluding) Rap, certain types of Metal, and that “Jazz” style where it sounds as if everyone plays different scales at the same time. I don’t listen to music while raiding/instancing, I’m too hooked on audio queues when tanking. And when I farm herbs/ore, it’s frequently to classical music (Bach or Modern composers), or Mike Oldfield.

Hmmm. I need to go and find my Barclay James Harvest and Jethro Tull albums. Yes. I said ALBUMS! Haven’t converted them to MP3 yet.
