I was sitting around the other day, pondering about life… like usual… and I was wondering where everyone gets there music preferences from. I know for me personally, I grew up singing songs in the car. My parent’s were obviously a big influence on my first impressions of music. As far back as I can remember, I have been listening to Country music. After that I became a big fan of Aerosmith (obviously rock genre). (more…)

If you’re like me you need no distractions when studying. This task is a lot harder than it sounds. I can get distracted for 30 minutes from a ticking clock in the back of the room, but when I finally get focused I do end up studying quite well. To get focused quickly I pop in my headphones. I tend to be very picky when choosing what music I can listen to and study. I don’t want anything with words, or anything I can hum along to. But I do want the music to be somewhat interesting. Usually I throw in some techno (like Paul Oakenfold), maybe a good wind symphony, or a little Enya here and there. All that music is great to listen to, but I think I have stumble upon my new favorite. STRING QUARTET REMIXES. When I was surfing around on the internet, I ran into a string quartet melody that was dedicated to bands like Fall Out Boy, Incubus, Coldplay, Dashboard Confessionals, U2, Metallica, and Queen, just to name a few. I really have been getting into the Fall Out Boy stuff. This music is relaxing but also interesting… I definately recommend listening to some tracks if you get the chance.
