"Macarena" "The remix hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996 and remained at the top of the charts for 14 weeks — one of the longest number-one runs in the chart's history.

The Mozart Effect.... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1281386/ Anyway, I think Einstein was wrong. Mozart is a NitWit compared to my great JS Bach! I wish more Isan women would get into JS Bach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is she the one I noticed in one of your videos, sitting on the BeanBag furniture at a beach on the eastern shore of Thailand?

No, she's the one, for only a glimpse, if that, at beginning or end of vid. Unless she walks across, as she did in one of latest (Farida). Hates being in vids, almost as much as me.

Barnet1900 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I have no idea where musical tastes come from. I'm pretty average in IQ yet I've always enjoyed a variety of music. My earliest choices were certainly conditioned by my dad telling me that certain musicians were great then others awful. This lasted until The Prodigy came on TV and he stated that this isn't music...total... I couldn't disagree more and so I started making my own opinions on music. I find that my tastes have changed massively with age. There are some musicians I adored as a younger man, like Oasis, yet now I can't take a minute of them. Modern music for me, lacks the mega bands/stars who you waited upon eagerly for new material as per the past. But then, maybe I'm just not 'with it.' I couldn't tell you who are the biggest artists on the planet now. I actually like some of the new rap artists such as Arrdee who are defining their own style. Different generation now with WiFi, smart phones etc so it's to be expected. As for Thai music, I can easily enjoy the folk/country songs that play in the background, even if I have no idea what they're talking about. Bodyslam were decent (and he supports Spurs). I can't stand the bass banging stuff however. Anyone remember the song that went along the lines of ...My name is Mrs. Smith...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
