You know your getting old when ...

Hi, some of you might fall off your chairs when you realize how old some are on this forum, for example I usually play my Dean Martin records but lately I find I enjoy playing the SHIII gramaphone tracks!

Go figure eh!

Are there any other old fossils out there!

GoldenRivet · 07-16-07, 12:22 AM

im 28

the most "current" music i listen to is

Nirvana ( )

red hot chili peppers ( )

Audioslave ( )

but MOST of what i listen to is Benny Goodman thru to Rolling Stones, the first three stations programmed into my XM radio presets are "40s on 4", "60s on 6" and "70s on 7" followed by Cinemagic (movie music all the time) and Fox news.

A majority of my musical preference is two or three times my age. I find that like many people these days, most of the current music of today is "detached" and "immoral"... simply anthems with themes rich with selfishness, Boastfulness, excessiveness, Ego, arrogance and sexual vulgarity.

Therefore SH3 is sort of an escape from reality... my gramophone plays period tracks only

CapZap1970 · 07-16-07, 12:28 AM

Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Bellamy Brothers, Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner.... you name it. When you read the last 3, please don't think I am a fossile :rotfl:
I am 37 but I love all kinds of music, except modern jazz

Lets just say I have past that half way point long ago! but I haven't gone as far as wearing gold medalions like Mr T yet! Ahhhh Woodstock! ..... those were the days!

When I play my Dean Martin records my kids make a quick exit!!

Heh when I'm programming (most of the day, except when on subsim... ) I listen to hardhouse/trance/hard trance music pretty much all of the time... I picked up the taste when I lived in london 2000-2002, and I haven't gone clubbing for years but I still listen to the music...

Infact i'm now pretty much dependant on it, if I leave my headphones at home I find it very difficult to focus without the music!

Some of those old gramophone tracks are actually not that bad to listen to.
They just have to grow on you

It's foolish but it's fun! :p

That song will haunt me to my grave

I'm not far of 40 and listen to all sorts but the jimbuna pack I listen to on mission produces some funny looks

singing away to german marches(I don't even speak german)gets some strange results.had the window open the other day and was happily singing away when glanced out of said window to be confronted by some blokes digging up the road outside thinking they had disturbed a branch meeting of the national front

on with the headphones and off with the speakers after that

ichso · 07-16-07, 03:55 AM

Hm, I don't think that I'm falling out of any chair while reading this

But I suddenly feel as being one of the younger kind of forum members here as being only 24

Halfway between hard house and trance. sometimes known as uplifting trance

You can listen to a bit here if you are curious http://www.twisted.co.nz/djdb/viewfile.php?file_id=164

Trance/house music is rarely commercial. You won't hear it on the radio or in many pubs etc. The only tune I can think of that has crossed over to the commercial world is Sandstorm.

Anyway, thats about the only music I listen to nowdays.

The gramaphone in SH3 IS cool tho. Really sets the mood. somehow plotting torpedo solutions to soem banging house music wouldn't work

When attacking anything the grammophon has to shut it's mouth. There's no time for fun then

ichso · 07-16-07, 08:44 AM

Just hearing Ramones but not in SH3. That would destroy the atmosphere there

soma · 07-16-07, 09:26 AM

I like (some) of the grammophone tracks also, and I just turned 21
