I have a soft spot for the death metal band Lordi, who did the soundtrack for the movie dark floors. I also like Weird AL, and I often get the sea ponies song stuck in my head.
I am also a big fan, of big band, and swing music. I also like very obscure wacky songs from the Dr.Demento show.

(Well, I don't have a specific playlist, per se. I don't have an I-pod or something with music on it. When I'm sitting here at my computer, I'm listening to whatever my be on the radio at the time, so it's a variety. But, I can put it into some general categories, and tell you why. And this applies equally IC or OOC.)

I've always liked anything that is a movie-musical, as far back as I can remember. The Sound of Music, The Music Man, Oklahoma, Mary Poppins, Annie, have always been favorites.

I like classical music/opera. This is for 2 reasons. 1) I would be (next door) at my grandparents (mom's parents) and while grandma was upstairs, watching the Cleveland Browns (our NFL {American, of course} football team) lose (that happened a lot back then. Only recently have the started winning again. Lol.) I would be downstairs, in the den, with my grandfather listening to music. His favorites then were opera -- anything by Puccini; especially Madame Butterfly; anything by Mozart, and some Vivaldi, especially the Four Seasons. One of my favorites at the time was (and I'm being totally serious and 100% truthful!!) was the opera Carmen by Bizet. Of course, part of this was because of all the figure skaters that skated to it. I remember well the "Battle of the Carmens" between (East) German skater Katerina Witt and American skater Debi Thomas in 1984. (Of course, Witt won; and Debi Thomas went on to become a doctor. ) I know I still have a CD with the highlights of that opera, with a little lyric booklet with lyrics in English and French; but I don't know if it's here, in the house, in the barn, or in my mother's truck. Lol. The appeal of opera/classical music is the added drama, plus if you watch/listen from the beginning, it isn't really necessary to understand the language to understand the story. (9 times out of 10, it's a love story, isn't it? !! Lol.) "Bolero" by Ravel was also a favorite back then, too, when English ice dancers (Jayne) Torvil and (Christopher) Dean beat the Russians that year.

When my grandfather learned that majority of our Celts were from Scotland and Ireland, he decided he wanted to learn how to play the Scottish bagpipes. So he did. He found out that he needed to learn to read music, and grandma know how, from her days of playing the cello in high school (that was one of first times he saw her). He found a group, and they gave him a "practice chanter" (one of the "drones" without the "bag") and learned to play all the classis you hear at parades, like "Scotland the Brave" etc. They wore tartans, and kilts, and everything and traveled all over our area; and they even went to Canada a few times I think. Grandpa's pipes were absolutely beautiful, the ivory was real; and he had to travel with a special certificate that said that his (bag)pipes were made before the ban on ivory, or he would have been arrested.

When I was back at home, my father's favorites were anything and everything Motown (although he was very good at hockey, so he had plenty of exposure to opera/classical music, sharing rink time/practice ice with skaters). For mom it, was anything/everything by the Beatles, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Queen, and a few other groups.

When I got older, as a teen, there were a lot groups I liked, most of them are pretty typical. Culture Club, Bananarama, Wham, the Police, Eurythmics; my stepsister liked Duran Duran a lot back then (I don't know if she still does. I actually like them more NOW then I did back THEN. Lol.) Prince, etc. There were also a lot of "one-hit wonders" that were good but now that I'm listening to something else, and trying to type, and I can't think of any; I'll have to look some of those up. Lol.

And on a one-day road trip one time with my grandfather, we listened to the album "Stardust" by Natalie Cole, on cassette tape, with all those old standard pop songs from the 1940s. I like her versions and her father Nat "King" Cole's the best.

The ironic thing is, it all kinda came full circle, because one of our cousins was over next door, interviewing my grandfather, so that he could put some of our family history on CD; and I was the only one that had a radio with a CD player (I think my grandparents had one in their car; but not in the house yet) so my mom asked if she could borrow my radio, which had a CD player. At that time, I had "Diva" (the first solo album of Annie Lennox; which is also the first CD I ever got) and it forgot and left it in there. And (later, I was told that) when he went to put his CD in, he accidentally pressed "Play" and he liked that first song "Why?" so much, that he sat there, and actually listened to the rest of the CD, and when I talked to him later that night, and asked him, if he had listened to his CD yet, he asked me if I had any more music by her, cuz she's really great. I said, yeah, she is and, of course I do. And I put it them on cassette tapes for him. (This was long before I had my first computer, or any kind of recordable CDs, in 2000.) So, I had this old guy in his 70s, listening to her. And after he heard the song "Rocket Man" played during half-time of some basketball game grandma was watching on TV, I also got him liking Elton John's Greatest Hits, too. I even played a little Queen for him too, and he liked that, because a lot of their music has a great operatic quality to it. Although grandma didn't like it very much when he played his "new" favorites. Lol. In the years since he's passed sometimes it makes me a little sad to hear some of these songs, but not too much.

There's are a few songs and groups from the 1990s-2000s that I do like, but like I said, I'm having a hard time thinking of some of them while listening to something else, and trying to type. I do have to say, I do like Lady Gaga; but, I liked the songs she did with Tony Bennet better and that "Sound of Music" medley she did at the Academy Awards a few years ago (it was so sweet, how Julie Andrews really had to hug her, cuz she was really shaking and crying, after. I said, "Awwwwww." Lol.) and that made me go back, and like her original songs more than I had before. So right now, I really love that song "Shallow" that she got the Academy Award for. :)

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
