Different music for different situations and activities
 

I thought it would be a nice idea to start a thread where everybody
posts the perfect music for different situations.

so i´m gonna start it off with some examples

nice tunes for sitting on the toilet
Serge Gainsbourg - brings the right romantic into this very special situation

music to walk through town at night
Melt Banana - Outro for Cell Scaped - it gives me that feeling that there could be an alien invasion after every corner

music for taking a shower
Sonics - Boom - whoo, i dance and have a private party under the shower, " cuz she´s a witch"

music for driving in the car
Einstürzende Neubauten - Zeichnungen des Patione O.T. - prevents car crashes, that´s a fact

I realize I don't really have any situation -dependant music. I spend most of the time I'm at home in front of my computer doing whatever I do, and that usually involves playing random records / songs. I never take my walkman with me, except for bus or train trips. While sitting in public transportation vehicle I often prefer noise. Last time it was Psychorazer by Merzbow.

New Blockaders go down really well with noodles and being lost in some eastend warehouse trying to find some discernable sound to record.

I'm well addicted to noodles.Not so much pot noodles but the 5 for £1 variety that you can deform into whatever you want.I'm heavily into vietnamese food at the moment and that is shifting the weight like no other cousine.

double leopards is good for so many things i think. mainly its my travel music though.

i am well into noodle soup on a cold winters day.

I adore them.Contrary shits that they are.

so new blockaders are dilemma music then!

sunday night laying in bed trying not to think about work on monday music is charalbides.

whats good drinking music?

(also what sould i drink? the choices are: southern comfort, wine, beer, gin or rum. the first person to say all of them dies)

I'd say white wine(i hate red wine and i'm also allergic to it) and go for Black Sabbath man!

Music to make you drink like a fish

Iron Man by Black Sabbath.One of the best intros in the world ever.

i always think war pigs is a good one. good to dance too as well.

War Pigs is the shit.I can never get enough of them.The first and only songs that i ever learned playing on the guitar are Da Sabbath's 'Paranoid' and The Ramones's 'KKK Took My Baby Away'.

right on!

gonna check out youtube for some now. there are some amazing live versions on there and its obvious ozzy is fucked out of his mind.

Damnit!I nearly broke my wrist doing some air drumming to Da Sabbath!hehe.Fucking love them.

While the kettle is on
