Do I need Psychotherapy?

Re: Do I need Psychotherapy?

Heavy rap and the Dixie Chicks - two things I don't have. I may be sane afterall.

Hate RAP and think they forgot the C, I do have Thank Heavens for Dale Evens by the Dixe Chicks (before they became politcal)

Nope, not at all, Jeff.

Here at the office we can share our music libraries. My library is one of the most listened to because, well, I gots all kinds of stuffs that even the kiddies like. Go figure.

Re: Do I need Psychotherapy?

I'm listening to Hank Williams Jr. right now, but I was listening to ENYA just before, and Eddie Cantor before that. Frank Sinatra is on deck followed by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass "Going Places". Figure THAT out. I'll catch "Golden Boy" on the tube and go back to the tunes. Some of these are CeeDee's and some are LP's and some are 78's. Pick your poisons. I like too many kinds of music too much.

Re: Do I need Psychotherapy?

I have about 80% of those albums in my permanent collection - but where's your Joe Satriani or Al Medimola?

Re: Do I need Psychotherapy?

This isn't my collection though, it's just one arbitrary stack that structured itself out of the random chaos of my psyche and its musical cravings. I mean seriously, who has Meat Loaf and Bridgit Mendler, Led Zeppelin and Nora Jones, all in one stack?

I have a similar stack in that it has both Norah and Led Zeppelin in it, but instead of Meat Loaf it currently has the Garden State soundtrack, Ayreon's Timeline, and something by Rainbow.

...and instead of Bridgit Mendler it has Keisha. She helps drown out the voices in my head. Sort of.

Anyway, it might be interesting to record what is in your "recently played" stack based on a particular mood, or even just once a month to see how it changes over time. I'll certainly go on kicks where I mostly listen to just jazz, just classic rock, or just progressive rock - but then I'll go right back to seemingly a random selection method.

Re: Do I need Psychotherapy?

I would be more worried that you are still playing CDs. I ripped my collection years ago. I am not even sure where my physical CDs are.

Re: Do I need Psychotherapy?

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000]On top of my entertainment center are stacks of CD’s that I have been listening too lately. Every now and then I go through them and put them away, and then the stacks start all over again. Earlier I was walking by and noticed one of the stacks (there are several, actually) and it occurred to me that the combination of CD’s in that stack caught me as humorously (or disturbingly) odd, and I wondered what this must say about my personality. Here’s the actual list of artists / albums in that particular stack in the order they were stacked:

I own and love about 70% of the album you just mentioned. If you are crazy, you are in good company.

Re: Do I need Psychotherapy?

Only had time for a quick listen today, but I went from Cake to the Carpenters to Motley Crue. Songs were "Never There", "Goodbye to Love", and "Looks that Kill".


Freud would have a field day.:eek:


I envy your collection, especially if that is just a small slice.


Oh, BTW, "Birdland" is one of my all-time favorite tracks. What a strange, wonderful grouping that iteration of Weather Report was.

Re: Do I need Psychotherapy?

I've not bought or owned a CD in years. Putting my Library on random really gets some odd combos, though.

I could never stand to run my drive on random, now that would bring me to the psycho stage.

Ain't. No. Lie. Of course when you have Jaco on bass I'm inclined to agree that it's a great thing to behold.

I don't like to think of Yoko Kanno as Jpop although I guess it is. If you like metal you sjhould check these guys out

Yes, its hard to peg her because she covers a wide range of styles. I went with JPOP simply because a lot of her anime OP/ED songs are, but she has everything from techno to classical under belt, mmm. Thanks for the link, MAXIMUM THE HORMONE is crazy fun!

I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how Zawinul was getting those bends out of his keyboard in the first 30 seconds or so. When I saw a video of the song played live, I had to pick my jaw off the keyboard, seeing that it was Jaco playing those licks on the bass. What a ridiculously talented dude, and what a loss to the music world when he died.:(

Re: Do I need Psychotherapy?

Is there any help for someone who also thinks these are great?

Re: Do I need Psychotherapy?

Yeah, he absolutely melts my mind. I wish I could have had a picture of my face when my bass instructor from a few years ago plopped the chart for Teen Town in front of me and said "this is what we're gonna do next". My response to that is filter fodder here but I still (try) to practice it. I still suck at playing it but the challenge is great fun for the S&M bassist. And to think he played fretless................
