I bet that's interesting! I don't have a music class this semester.   I'm hoping to schedule one to cover one of my last general education requirements in the Spring though. There is no prog rap, but there is good rap.I have yet to hear any, but then again I've hardly heard any rap and it's not quite to my taste anyway. It is very interesting, however the course only covers until 1970 so no prog/RIO. And want good rap? See sig, first row, fifth across

Ah, dang. But it's good that it's still interesting; I'd still take it nonetheless as well.

I haven't actually heard any, so I have no clue whether I actually would find it tolerable or like it or not. Maybe I should hear some.

It really is a phenomenal class. I just finished this week's reading.

The only seemingly really good music class that my college offers is a Jazz one, so I'll probably take that. Most others are higher-level for music majors (being an Accounting major, it's not a general requirement to know alot about music ) or they're music appreciation classes... which are boring.

I also didn't find out until 6:30 after I had already woken up and taken my shower because I decided to go to bed early. Oh well. And then I've been having a few relational issues (love/friendship-related), and they're not really much to drive home about, I'm just worried for another person and with the absence of anything actual to do today I keep thinking about all of the circumstances, etc. Wow, that was a rambled answer. Oh, and I get a bonus point for my mood since I'm currently listening to Magma and could be getting pizza tonight. Figures my longest post was the one that got buried by being the last on the previous page.

I did read - sorry about the relationship problems, hope they work out.

Thanks for the condolences. The relations/situation will definitely be fine, however. It's just a little temporary bump I hope. I've personally been fine, but you know how it is when someone you care infinitely about is going through some tough circumstances.

Hope everything goes well with that relative then! 

I know this is such a vague and open-ended question, but what are your favorite bands/musicians, Bern? (Since I never really got to talk to you before)

It's indeed a really vague question.

Hmm... well let's just say that if I go by PA genres, I'd say my favorite prog genres are Canterbury, Krautrock, RIO and Fusion... and I really like the bands in the new (?!) eclectic prog genre... (wasn't there last time I've been here).

I don't really like to talk about genres though usually. My favorite bands have been for example : VdGG, Soft Machine, Caravan, Gong, Can, King Crimson, Comus... just to name the big ones.

I'm of course a big fan of jazz. It's partly what made me get into prog and I myself try to be a jazz musician.

I'm also probably the biggest fan of 70s Québecois music on Progarchives. I like a lot of those bands but especially Harmonium, Maneige and Opus 5. I'm also fond of modern québecois music at large with bands as different as Malajube or Karkwa for example.

My absense from PA resulted in me discovering and getting into a whole lot of new music genres and bands. I'm more open-minded than ever.

I guess that would be a quick answer to your question.

It is funny that you posted one minute after I said this. I thought you had temporarily left.

I was just preparing a good answer.

And your chart does give me a good idea of your musical taste. Pretty interesting mix of bands.

I forgot about Magma earlier. Zeuhl iss de hundin!
