Music to pipe to?

I don't really have a routine or preference... but if it were right now, I'd put on some Nick Cave and smoke a toasty burley out of a big Canadian.

That's pretty cool, Anthony. That oughta make you a heavy hitter. Do you get in free to his shows? After parties, too, huh? :worship:

I don't know. Never tried. I may have to get in touch with my brother in law about that the next time he plays locally.

Years, ago I picked up a hitch hiker in Biloxi. Turned out to be a guitarist for the Isley Brothers (yeah, that many years ago). He told me to come to the show that night and use the back stage entrance. So, me and a buddy showed up and asked for "Wa Wa", he comes to the door and ushered us in and left us to wonder around backstage. I had a David Bowie tee shirt on and some of the Roadies thought I was a Roadie too and had worked for Bowie. Man, I felt like "The Shit" that night! Cool memory from the long ago.....

Toby Keith just came out with a really good song.
Don't let the old man in - Toby Keith

Being a DJ in the '90s scarred me. :mrgreen: Usually dark wave, techno industrial, and trance.

It's ok embers, you're not alone. My gf was into the rave scene in the 90s and early 2000s, and a couple years ago she talked me into seeing DJ Aphrodite. Now I like jungle. That led me down a YouTube rabbit hole, and I started listening to D&B (especially dark/hardcore), some heavier dubstep, and various types of the more loud, aggressive kind of electronic music. I've always liked industrial and metal, so I found a lot that I liked and can appreciate the skill it takes to be a good dj and to make electronic music. It's more complicated than I thought!
As for me...after reading this thread, I'm smoking my pipe and listening to a dark drum and bass mix on YouTube. Earlier today it was the Rev. Horton Heat, yesterday it was Tom Waits' Rain Dogs. Not long ago, I decided I needed to start appreciating jazz, so sometimes I'll play something by Coltrane, Miles Davis, or Art Blakey. Sometimes I play classical music to annoy everyone else in the house.

I listen to whatever I feel like listening to at the time. Right now it is Ella Fitzgerald, after listening to about 30 minutes of Billie Holiday.
