 Music
I guess you could say we are a pretty musical family. We turn on
music in the morning and listen to it throughout the
day, everyday, until nighttime.
From Jpop to Kpop to Bollywood to Classical to Jazz to good ole Rock and
Roll, we pretty much listen to it all. In addition, two of
our three boys are playing music now including, the
electric guitar, electric bass, acoustic guitar, ukulele
bass, keyboard, and drums.
Anyway,
I tend to go on music binges from time to time such as
it was with Bollywood, Lounge, and a few other genre
which have yet to find their way to these pages. Drives
my wife absolutely crazy listening to the same type of
music for weeks at a time, but she is always a good
sport about it....um except for Techno and Psytrance
which she insists makes her nauseous. The upside of all
this is exposing our kids to different music from
different cultures. Keeping these young minds open and
accepting to many things is our goal as parents who are
raising their kids outside the norms of society. In
addition, a lot of the music being produced today is
trash. The music that I grew up with, from the 60's,
70's, 80's, and 90's, was in my opinion, the best music
ever made. I wanted to make sure our kids can know and
access this great time in musical history, and hopefully
they will give their kids the opportunity to enjoy this
music as well.
I began making this music section many years ago, circa
2012, while still residing in the hot and humid
countryside of Nara, Japan, and long before I got
involved in the time consuming "hobby" of
farming....another story. Needless to say, these pages
kinda "went by the wayside" in favor of spending my days
growing food for my family. This being the case, many
genre and songs are not listed. This is especially true in the Rock and
Roll section with bands like The Beatles only showing
links to a handful of songs....again, blame farming for
this. Hopefully I can get back to these pages eventually
and make them much more complete. For now, please enjoy
the music already listed. |

 Rock & Roll
Music
This is by far my favorite genre when it comes to music.
Pretty much anything called Rock & Roll is something I am
likely to listen to. No two of our sons are really getting
into playing music. Lael is getting really good at playing
bass and electric guitars, and recently began playing
keyboard as well. Ethan is more into drums with a little bit
of keyboard. These little dudes really like the old rock and
are nailing on many songs. Anyway, check out the ongoing
list of great music.

 Japanese Popular Music (Jpop)
I began really getting into Jpop during my crazy Summer in
Japan in 2002. I was staying and my ex Gf's house on the
second floor. The first floor was a really small okonomiyaki
(veggie pancakes) restaurant which served a few different
types of food and alcohol. I spent the Summer eating,
drinking beer A LOT, and dealing with the family and
neighborhood drama including meeting the retired yakuza who
would frequently come to eat and drink. Although it was an
incredibly cool experience, the issue was my Japanese
language ability was not great at all. I was about to
graduate from a two year college with a degree in Japanese
studies but still was pretty much unable to carry on a
conversation. Speaking in Japanese was exhausting and I
found myself wanting to get away for a few hours every day.
Happily there was a mountain with a hiking trail relatively
close where I was staying and I would sneak away every day
for a Japanese language time out. I packed up my Walkman and
a few cassette tapes, yup cassette tapes and off I would go.
I cannot even count the number of hours I listened to Globe.

 Korean Popular Music (Kpop)
Now Kpop is rivaling Jpop as the most popular music here in
Japan. While not at all interested in the boys bands, the
girl bands are a lot of fun to watch. Check out a few of my
favorites.

 Bollywood Music
Actually I cannot remember what got me into Bollywood music
but mostly likely had something to do with psytrance. I
listen to psytrance when I do strength training and have
been into that music for awhile now. A lot of the vocals are
in hindi, and I think, at some point, I looked up a
psytrance song and discovered bollywood....just a guess
though.

 Finnish Folk Music
Even more than bollywood, I really am not sure why I began
listening to Finnish folk music. Actually I only know of one
group, but they're really good.

|
 Mediaeval Music
This one is kind of easy. I began listening to mediaeval
music after going on several trips to a friend's house up in
the San Diego County mountains in California. I went with
Akiko and we would drink wine with Bjorn and Mary Ellen and
listen to
AncientFM,
an online radio station that played mediaeval music. As with
Finnish folk music, I really only know one group but they're
really good.

|
 Lounge Music
I began listening to lounge music, most likely, from a
recommended video on YouTube. A few of the groups and
individual performers became favorites and I decided to
feature them in the music section of my blog.

 Music Links
Recently I began going through my files. I often keep links
to useful pages and good websites without
writing the descriptions. I decided to spend a few days and
review
some of these miscellaneous links and post the good ones on
this page. These are a few online streaming radio stations I
found....enjoy. |
