What/who Do You Listen To?

[imnotthai]

What do you listen to when you are in Thailand? I know this has been covered in previous threads, but it always gets a good response. I'm not a permanent resident, rather a 3-5 month visitor every year. I carry a sleeve of CDs. International tunes. Here they are. What are yours? Where did you get them? Especially Thai music that you like. Sorry for the length ( of course, I'm American, and we pride ourselves on our length!!!)

Personally i like British music. Some of the bands/artists you list i have never heard of. So cant comment on your music tastes. I like to think that i am open to different types of music. Many of my mates work in the music industry. But i have tried and tried to like Thai music, But really cant get into it. It seems to be mostly cheesy thai ballads. Why have you not got any Beatles in your collection? Surely this is the band that revolutioned music as we know it. Neil Young is good,The Clash were a rocking band, Never really got into the Pogues but at least i have heard of them. Theres a couple of other ones i have heard off. But most of them mean nothing to me.

[Jockstar]

When i get more time i will list my cd collection. Very varied and not just British.

[stroll]

Interesting, some music you mentioned I heard about, but never listened to, like Lynrd Skynrd.

I am more metal/Goth/hardrock, Metallica, Ministry (like the new album inspired by hating Bush, all track names relate to 'W' as in no W, Worm, Worthless, etc.), Monster Magnet, Lacrimas profundere, Cathedral, also classics such as Billy Idol, Ramones, Alice-in-Chains.

With Thai music my problem is I cannot read Thai and made a number of mistakes buying what looks good. Can't go wrong with LOSO, Carabao, Taxi and traditional music from Isan- a good selection of all 3rd floor Emporium, Sukhumvit 24, it is labeled in English as well.

Some friendly Thai music stalls are located around the Old Siam Square.

[Axel]

Sorry, I am lost. Lert'sd say I know Beethoven although I am not fond of his music.

The rest on your list, are you sure it is international. Not sure if can find any in LoS.

[theviking]

And i listen most:

-oldies rock.

-new resample disco

-some punk

When i visit Los i try to get away from western music,I love Issan music but the Fiance hates it,Status thing again ,Visit karaoke bars all the time,and they seem to be in a time warp of about 20-30 yrs,well the one in Khao Yai was ,

Back home we both have the same tastes in western music,mostly rock,amd rock pop, But she is a different generation than i,So she likes 70s ,whereas i was brought up with 80s music.

Coinleach Glas an Fhomhair

(The Green Stubble-Field of Autumn)

Ar chonnlaigh ghlais an Fhoghmhair

A stóirín gur dhearc mé uaim

Ba deas do chos i mbróig

'Sba ró-dheas do leagan siubhail.

Do ghruaidh ar dhath na rósaí

'Sdo chúirníní bhí fighte dlúith

Monuar gan sinn 'ár bpósadh

Nó'r bórd luinge 'triall 'un siubhail.

Tá buachaillí na h-áite seo

A' gartha 'gus ag éirghe teann

Is lucht na gcochán árd

A' deánamh fáruis do mo chailín donn

Dá ngluaiseadh Rí na Spáinne

Thar sáile 's a shlóighte cruinn

Bhrúighfinn féar is fásach

'S bhéinn ar láimh le mo chailín donn.

Ceannacht buaibh ar aontaigh'

Dá mbínn agus mo chailín donn

Gluais is tar a chéad-searc

Nó go dtéidh muid thar Ghaoth-Bearra 'nonn

Go sgartar ó n-a chéile

Bárr na gcraobh 's an eala ón tuinn

Ní sgarfar sin ó chéile

'S níl ach baois díbh á chur 'n mur gcionn.

Chuir mé leitir scríobhtha

Annsoir mo sweetheart agus casaoid ghéar

Chuir sí chugam arís í

Go rabh a croidhe istuigh i lár mo chléibh.

Cum na h-eala is míne

Ná'n síoda 's ná cluimh na n-éan

Nach trom an osna ghním-se

Nuair a smaoitighim ar a bheith 'sgaradh léi.

'Sé chuala mé Dé Domhnaigh

Mar chómhrádh 'gabháil eadar mhnáibh

Go rabh sí 'gabháil 'a pósadh

Ar óigfhear dá bhfuil san áit.

A stóirín glac mo chomhairle

'S a' foghmhar seo fan mar tá

'S cha leigim le 'bhfuil beo thú

A stór nó 's tú mo ghrádh.

I think you'll agree, that as far as songs go about buying cows from the market, that takes the biscuit.

[Boon Mee]

Tear-jerker Issan music. The more red-neck, the better!
