Journal Chacham's Journal: Question: Do you listen to non-mainstream music? 13
Do you listen to strange music? I generally listen to Jewish and Classical music. Amongst Classical i like Romantic (particularly Tchaikovsky). Usually when searching for music Romanticism and Tchaikovsky are easy finds.
Jewish music, however, is quite different. It is a very small segment of the market, as it targets and very small segment of people. And yet within it i specifically like children's choirs from the 70s and 80s. (Right now i'm listening to London School Of Jewish Song, Mah Nuvu (1969)). Music applications will not have such a listing, and stores will not carry it. This is understandable. I don't expect it, would be quite suprised otherwise.
But, that got me thinking. Are there other such niche markets? What do you listen to? Just curious.

Do you mind if I start mentioning your wife in every post I make? It could go something like:
This guy's wife [slashdot.org] bought me a guitar for my birthday so the only music I listen to is the music I create!

Although, there are some on Slashdot and in real life that become so enthralled with the fact that they have a significant other, that they cannot stop mentioning that fact.
I think I'll stick with my method of linking to you, no need to drag this guy's wife [slashdot.org] into my joke.

I tend towards stuff on college radio or stuff that *used* to play on college radio -- some of which is now 'classic rock' (like Jimi). Heavy into 80s-style goth and industrial (even 80s rap), 70s-style funk, and '67-74-ish rock like Velvet Underground, or Iggy and the Stooges.
I'll listen to most anything, though. Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezade is a favorite (and popular) classical piece, and Stan Rodgers a favorit

if it's not mainstream and electronic, i probably dig it. right now i'm listening to the CD music has the right to children by boards of canada. yesterday i listened to a lot of man...or astroman?'s music, but they're more surf guitar and b sci fi than electronic. both of those bands would pass your obsenity filter, as long as you avoid live man...or astroman? recordings. sometimes they swear between songs. but both bands are mostly intrumental. i love aphex twin. i dig bjork,

On the secular side, jazz is my favorite. I like Wynton Marsalis, Duke Ellington, and Preservation Hall Jazz Band (New Orleans). I also listen to some blues, instrumental (soundtracks), and a little classical.
A few years ago, I picked up a CD called Serenity Sampler [top-music.info]. The cover says, "Beautifu

and not so mainstream music. But one of the biggest things I go out of my
way to listen to are (bad) Techno Remixes of songs, like the techno remix
of the Simpsons Theme Song.
Course, beyond that there is also my love for local and lesser known Dark,
Dark Dance, and Heavy Metal(just as a brief example)
