I wish I had something smart to say, like "classical" or "the acoustic works of Spanish guitarist blah blah blah", but my tastes are rather pedestrian. . .

 

Guns n Roses

Alice in Chains

System of a Down (but ONLY Toxicity)

 

And. . .the radio.

 

 

 

Annie? What? DJ and 1st AC? No no no. That will never do! You must FOCUS in this business! No other passions for you! Bad Annie! Bad!

Well ya know...I get to set, I grab a coffee, and then I ROCK OUT while I build the camera. Sometimes I play drums with the support rods. :P

 

But now that you mention it, this industry has definitely taken top priority for me. Case in point, I sold my Nine Inch Nails tickets to AC on a shoot instead! (Then again I've already seen them twice and the new album is not that great)

Talking about music on sets, no, for sure, unlesss yuo work on a video clip and listen to the same song over anover all day, but, I loved to listen to music while doing camera prep and tests, made me feel like times passes faster...

 

I listen to : Eric Clapton, John Mayall, Tony Joe White, Steve Ray Vaughan, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, The Police, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Sones, Lou Reed, Velvet underground, The Doors, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, Different known "Jazz-Rock" bands (Chick Corea, Aldimeola, Return to Forever, Stanley Clarke, etc.) Jazz (Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Parker...) Classical : Elisabethan music, Bach, Mozart, and french singer : Serge gainsbourg

 

When you do the camera tests, a good "music only" radio is great too.

 

In Paris, we like this one a lot (it just gives you traffic and basic information as well) :

it's all day in Panavision Prep studio

 

This one is a bit more eclectic : http://217.71.214.37:8000

 

We have another one - in english ! - we listen to at Panavision Cannes but the link doesn't work. Their site : http://www.rivieraradio.mc/listen.html

There are things I'll ALWAYS listen to like Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, the Who and the Beatles. Then I go in phases of listening to Emmy Lou Harris (Wrecking Ball is fabulous), Sinead O'Connor (although she has cracked into the ALWAYS list), old stuff like Tommy James, Neil Young, newer stuff like Radiohead, Moby, Coldplay? Yes, Coldplay. Then there's U2 ((although the newer U2 is mostly crap), Bruce Springsteen (who's STILL writing good stuff), etc. Lot's of Irish music.

 

Plus I love the original Cowsills recordings of "Hair". So I, too, like a good show tune.

 

Even that I have my times of electronic, rnb etc music, my tastes are quit similar with Tim, except Dylan and the beatles.

Also some eighty's stuff like the mission, the sound, Cure etc.

Manic street preachers I liked a lot and David Gray.

lately a lot of mixed stuff. in terms of film music, i firmly believe alexandre desplat is fast on his way to a path of genius. his scores for "birth" and "hostage" are phenomenal.

 

in terms of other stuff, lately mostly (but not limited to): bloc party, minus the bear, american analog set, the strokes, interpol, belle and sebastian, the rapture, the faint, velvet underground, talking heads, television, ida, it dies today, kaki king, unearth, sigur ros, low, the postal service, dntel, converge, and midnight movies.

 

but am always on the lookout for new stuff.

I'm a bit of a musical anorexic. By that I mean I've never really refined my taste or appreciation for a variety of music and am often too apt to vomit it up. However, I find myself listening to The Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails (old stuff), Bjork, and a few others at home or in the car.

I have listened to indie pop bands such as...

Death Cab For Cutie/Postal Service

Modest Mouse

Jem

Guster

Sigur Ros

Death In Vegas

Iron&Wine

 

Surprisingly, I also enjoy Mark Mothersbaugh soundtracks and talk radio from time to time.

Tara King Th. from the D.E.B.S. soundtrack is what I'm listening to at this very moment.

:ph34r: I am rather interesting when it comes to music. 90% of the time I don't have a cd in my vehicle containing American music, or in English for that matter. I listen to German music on a regular basis such as:

 

Rammstein

Megaherz

OOMPH!

Absolute Beginner

Blumentopf

Fettes Brot

Puhdys

 

Don't get me wrong, I do listen to a few English singing bands from time to time:

 

Nickelback

Metallica

SOAD

Thousand foot Krutch (after working with them I found I liked their music)

Spoken (same story as TFK)

 

Just don't tell my friends I listen to Nickelback, they might make fun of me <_<
