hh_clubsWelcome to the Music Club! My name is Brooke and I'm your new leader. This club is for anyone and everyone who likes music.
Before we begin, I'd like everyone to fill out an application. (Even if you were a member before, please fill out another one.) This will help me get to know you guys and decide which direction to take the Music Club in. Oh, and everyone who applies is automatically accepted. ^_^
And so you all can know my musical tastes and background better...
Name: Brooke
House: Gryffindor
Age: 21
Name Your favorite bands/artists (as many as you like): Regina Spektor, Placebo, Mindless Self Indulgence, Hanson, Ben Folds, Silverchair, Eric Clapton, Steely Dan, Ani Difranco, Indigo Girls, Maroon 5, The Dead Milkmen, Sublime, Crosby Stills and Nash, Jimmy Hendrix, Nirvana, Look What I Did, Submethod, Rage Against the Machine, Daddy Yankee, Rufus Wainwright, Muse, Pink Floyd, Alanis Morissette, Damien Rice, Harry Connick Jr., NIN, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, Mars Volta, Garbage...and I'll just stop here because I could go on for a while.
What was the best concert you've ever attended? Well, I saw Eric Clapton twice in LA...that rocked. But a couple months ago I got to see Mindless Self Indulgence. The concert had a rockin mosh pit, crowd surfing, and pure chaos. It was one of the only concerts I've seen where the band's energy kept escalating, and the audience kept meeting it, becoming just as involved in the concert as the band themself.
Do you listen to the radio? Unfortunately, I work in a restaurant where the radio is constantly playing. So, yes. However, Nashville has recently gotten a new radio station called Jack FM that has made listening to the radio more tolerable. The station has a format that's more like Satellite Radio (no DJ's, very few commercials, massive eclectic playlists). I dislike Top 40 radio, mostly due to all the politics, payola, repetitiveness, and pure crap that's played.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music? I listen to all of it. I know alot about classic rock, and I think some of the best music came out of the 1970's. (Yes, I even own alot of old vinyl).
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) : I'm currently a Senior Music Business Major in college. Ideally, I'd like to be a Tour Manager for a large act, and eventually go into Artist Management. Both my parents work in the Music Business, so I kind of grew up around it.
What is the extent of your musical education? I play a bit of piano, but suck at most every other instrument. I was in showchoir for 8 years in highschool, and did all sorts of musicals and competitions. Now I've gotten out of the creative side of music and am studying the business side of the industry. In school I've studied History of Commercial Music, Music Journalism, and most any other subject you can think of.

Age: 19
Name Your favorite bands/artists (as many as you like): wEll I enjoy practically all types of music but I gravitate to to mainly 50's, 60's, & 70's music. I enjoy THE BEATLES, Led Zepplin, The Doors, The Mamas & The Papas, The Temptations, Jimi Hendrix, The Carpenters, PINK FLOYD, and music in that era! But as of NOW IM GETTING BACK INTERESTED in MUSICALS & 90's Music Plus Lets Say We Have Some Of The Same interests!
What was the best concert you've ever attended? Saidly I haven't that many concerts I go to local shows but I guess the best one I attended in volve d the band SOMETHING CORPORATE they just played so well and the person Iwas with made it so great (awww memories)
Do you listen to the radio? I do sometimes but mainly I just listen to the massive collection of music I DL or my CD'S (too many commercials radios have but if I do its either for my country/rap fix or the local oldies station)
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music? yeah i do...my dad still thinks i'm a reincarnated hippie!
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) : nope my job I work in a NURSING HOME theres music sometimes but its rather hectic!
What is the extent of your musical education? Well I've doen alot of MUSICAL THETRE LOCALLY & STATEWIDE, I've played the drums for 3 years but I kinda gave up...I was rather good but now I'm outta practice.
Would you like the Music Club to focus more on commercial music, traditional music, or another type? (In other words, what kind of activities would you like to see?) I don't mind any competition but limit the GRAPHIC ONES...I can't do graphics argh!!!!

House: Hufflepuff
Age: 18
Name Your favorite bands/artists (as many as you like): Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Bo Bice (basically anyone off of American Idol), Kanye West, The Black-Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani, Elton John, Elvis Presley... Just about anything you can toss at me I won't have a problem with. :)
What was the best concert you've ever attended? I'm lame... I haven't been to a concert. :(
Do you listen to the radio? I don't listen to the "traditional" radio very often (I listen to the iTunes radio sometimes), but I don't have a problem with it.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music? Yes. :) I like 80's music a lot for some reason. I can't explain it. I was born in 1987, so of course, I didn't listen to it when it was being made, but rather, years and years later. I like 90's music a lot because that's when became aware of musical media and went nuts with it. :)
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) : If my current major in college (communications) doesn't work out, then music will be my second choice. I know I wouldn't be able to be a teacher because I'm not patient enough for that. I have had band and chorus for years, but I don't think I could make a living off either one. I'd probably be a music journalist or recording engineer. :)
What is the extent of your musical education? Well, I have played the clarinet for about 8-ish years (I'm not very good), and I have sang in my high school's chorus for 2 semesters. I have had very basic music theory training in high school, and I took Music Appreciation last semester. :)
Would you like the Music Club to focus more on commercial music, traditional music, or another type? (In other words, what kind of activities would you like to see?) I personally think you should focus on both. I know a lot of composers because of Music Appreciation, and I keep up with the current music scene. It won't be tragic either way. :)

Lyrics are fun, discussing the "poetry" and meanings behind songs would be fun...

I got depressed the other day when I turned on one of the oldies stations and heard some song from the mid-90's. I thought to myself "I remember when that came out..."

Age: 23
Name Your favorite bands/artists (as many as you like): Well....I'll forget some, I'm sure. Beatles, Ben Folds Five, Ben Folds, Billy Joel, Mamas and Papas, Jack Johnson, Queen, The Eagles, They Might Be Giants, Barenaked Ladies, Vanessa Carlton, Counting Crows. Then I like a random catchy ultra-pop song, usually. Like that Ignition Remix thing a while ago. Black Eyed Peas had one I liked. Outkast is pretty nifty.
What was the best concert you've ever attended? Ben. Easy.
Do you listen to the radio? Yep, but mostly NPR or the classical station.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music? Hmmmm, I don't listen to mostly anything, it's a pretty big mix

Age: 20
Name Your favorite bands/artists (as many as you like): Josh Groban, Jet, Maroon 5, Anna Nalick, Something Corporate, Dashboard Confessional, Kelly Clarkson, Michelle Branch, marching band/DCI shows...I'm kind of all over the map. My real loves, however, are movie and musical soundtracks. And older classical music, but not much of the modern stuff...except Aaron Copland. Love Copland.
What was the best concert you've ever attended? Dashboard Confessional. But I haven't gone to many concerts.
Do you listen to the radio? Not often.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music? If by 70s you mean 1770s. ;) I listen to a lot of classical music. Seriously though, I listen to a mix of modern and 90s stuff with some 80s thrown in.
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) : Possibly a music journalist, actually, I'm hoping to cover entertainment news. I had planned at one time to major in flute performance, but...it's not very practical.
What is the extent of your musical education? Nine years of concert band (MS, HS, and college) on flute and piccolo, five years of marching band (HS), pit orchestras for high school and community theatre, and a few years of teaching private flute lessons to middle school students. Good times.
Would you like the Music Club to focus more on commercial music, traditional music, or another type? (In other words, what kind of activities would you like to see?) I suppose a mix, that would be most fair, wouldn't it?

What was the best concert you've ever attended?
Styx and REO Speedwagon! WHOO! That was so much fun.
Do you listen to the radio?
I do not. I listen to my .mp3s, or my CDs. The radio plays SO much crap nowadays.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music?
Hmm, both, but more of the older stuff.
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) :
Yes and no. I've been flip-flopping between a major in Music Performance and 3D Animation...
What is the extent of your musical education?
I play the piano, and I sing. I was in the chorus at my high school, as well as the community college chorus and the Madrigal chorus.
Would you like the Music Club to focus more on commercial music, traditional music, or another type? (In other words, what kind of activities would you like to see?)
Music Appreciation! Perhaps sharing of music that we all love, or sharing of music that we might not know but could come to love. XD

Name Your favorite bands/artists (as many as you like):
Lets see here... Evanescence, Maroon5, Panic! At The Disco, Michael Bublé, Sarah McLauchlin, D.H.T., John Mayer, Fuel, Michelle Branch, Tegan and Sara, Missy Higgins, BarlowGirl, Switchfoot, 3 Doors Down, Jason Mraz, Kelly Clarkson, Black Eyed Peas, Gavin DeGraw, Rascal Flatts, Simple Plan, Fall Out Boy, James Blunt, Butterfly Boucher, Josh Groban and... lots more but I'll spare you! xp
What was the best concert you've ever attended?
Oh man, over the summer I got to see Michael Bublé in concert and it was simply AMAZING!!! I love him so much and he is an absolute joy to watch perform. Best thing? I got to sit in the second row, almost dead center and I met him and the band afterwards. It was such a great night, and the day after my birthday so that just made it even better! XD
Do you listen to the radio?
I only really listen to the radio when I'm driving or at work because at home I'll either listen to CDs or when I'm on the computer I'll listen to my iTunes music.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music?
Not a lot, just because I don't have much in my own collection and I don't listen to the oldies radio stations. However, I LOVE music from all three decades.
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) :
Yes, I would love to do anything involving music. I'm a singer and I've recorded one CD but who knows if that is where I am going to end up.
What is the extent of your musical education?
I haven't had any private lessons or anything but I've had years of choir and know a fair amount of piano.
Would you like the Music Club to focus more on commercial music, traditional music, or another type? (In other words, what kind of activities would you like to see?)
Honestly, I don't really have preferences to anything. I love basically everything about music, so whatever you decide to do, I'm sure I'll enjoy!!

Name Your favorite bands/artists (as many as you like): NIN, A Perfect Circle, Jeff Buckley, A.F.I. Gavin DeGraw, Finger Eleven
What was the best concert you've ever attended? Nine Inch Nails, at the Tabernacle, in Atlanta, GA
Do you listen to the radio? Yes! Mostly because my cd player has been broken for 2 years.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music? Mostly current, some from the 60's 70's and 80's.
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) : No, but I sometimes do concert photography for a web zine. My main job is at a sucky call center, where listening to music all day is the only thing that keeps me from blowing the bitch up.
What is the extent of your musical education? I was in concert band for 7 years-Clarinet, and marching band for 5-Clarinet. I'm now teaching myself guitar. I can also play a few other instruments at a beginner level and read music fairly well.
Would you like the Music Club to focus more on commercial music, traditional music, or another type? (In other words, what kind of activities would you like to see?) Maybe music sharing(like an mp3 share/suggest with megaupload or yousendit), lyrics or sound games, lyrics or song scavenger hunts, musical trivia.

Evanescence, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Black Eyed Peas, Depeche Mode, The Offspring, Nickelback, Linkin Park, Subway To Sally, Nightwish, Schandmaul, Queen
What was the best concert you've ever attended? Robbie Williams *drools*
Do you listen to the radio? Not as much as I used to, but I still prefer waking up to the tunes of my radio alarm clock over one that just emits some shrill and annoying sounds.
Do you listen to a lot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music?
Mostly current, but there are just some classics that I have a soft spot for. Queen, for example, will always be one of my all-time favorite bands.
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.):
No, I don't think so. I think it takes more than just liking the music in order to write about it / work with it. And even though I greatly enjoy singing in choirs, I don't think I sing well enough to make it my profession.
What is the extent of your musical education?
Besides the music classes at school I also learned to play three kinds of flute (recorder, alto flute and German flute), took singing lessons and sang in several choirs, the last one being the best, as it was my university's choir and we performed together with the university's orchestra. It was a blast, really XD
Would you like the Music Club to focus more on commercial music, traditional music, or another type? (In other words, what kind of activities would you like to see?)
Oh, I think a mix of all of them would be nice. I like trivia a lot, or maybe something like the Christmas Carol contest last month, that we take a well-known song and try to make it fitting into Hogwarts. Or making graphics that fit to the mood of a certain song.

Name Your favorite bands/artists (as many as you like): the Shins, AC/DC, the Clash, the Whitlams, Death Cab For Cutie, Interpol, Hot Hot Heat, the Arcade Fire, Coldplay, the Strokes, Spiderbait, Grinspoon, Franz Ferdinand, the White Stripes, Portishead, Evermore, Doves, the Dandy Warhols, the Who, Oasis, No Doubt, the Smiths, Kaiser Chiefs, U2, Foo Fighters, the Pixies, Massive Attack, the Libertines, Chemical Brothers, Blur, Radiohead and the Thrills.
What was the best concert you've ever attended? I'm not fond of concerts, I hate crowds!
Do you listen to the radio? I used to listen a lot, but now only when I'm in the car and even then, very rarely.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music? I listen to everything. I'm a huge fan of 70's and 80's music, but I do like a lot of the Indie that's being released today.
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) : It's such a hectic industry, I really don't think I'm cut out for it. I like writing, so being a music journalist would rock, but I don't think that's the career path for me.
What is the extent of your musical education? I was in the choir in primary school and did violin for 3 years but haven't been 'taught' anything musical for at least 8 years now.
Would you like the Music Club to focus more on commercial music, traditional music, or another type? (In other words, what kind of activities would you like to see?) I would love to see lyric contests (either guessing lyrics, or even writing our own), trivia contests, and definitely music sharing. Perhaps a good activity could be posting 'essays' (I don't mean 1000 word things, just 100-200 words) about a band we would love everyone to hear and posting a few songs for eveyone to listen to. As for what type of music you should focus on? Anything and everything. I suppose we should do commercial music to a lesser extent because EVERYONE has heard those songs (on the radio or TV), but I feel it should still be focused on, it's only fair.

What was the best concert you've ever attended? I went to Tori Amos'
"Lotta Pianos" Tour in 2003 and it just blew me away. She played some of my favorite songs such as "Bells for Her" and "Don't Make Me Come to Vegas" which was perfect as I was living in Vegas at the time. My sister and I were practically crying as she came on stage. I still can't believe how amazing that night was.
Do you listen to the radio? When I'm back in the States all I listen to is the '80s station. I'm not a big fan of rap or hip hop.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music? I love old music. And by old I mean before my time. Give me anything from the 50's, 60's, or 80's and you will be my best friend.
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) : I did when I was younger, but then I realized that a 5'6 girl that weighs 176 pounds would never make it in the music industry. I still love to sing though, choir or no choir.
What is the extent of your musical education? I'm a classically trained vocalist. I was in several choirs from the second grade to freshman year.
Would you like the Music Club to focus more on commercial music, traditional music, or another type? (In other words, what kind of activities would you like to see?) I would love for us to compare and contrast our musical tastes, even possibly recommend some new music for everyone.

Name Your favorite bands/artists (as many as you like): Umm, it's really hard for me to pick a favorite. I'll list a few though.. I really like Mariah Carey(older stuff, not the new cd), Green day, Joss Stone, Blondie, Alanis Morissette, Lifehouse, 3 Doors Down, Carrie Underwood, right know that's all I can list off the top of my head. Chances are if I see someone list a singer/band and I like them, I'll comment and say so.. :)
What was the best concert you've ever attended? Ha Ha, sadly I've only ever attended a Backstreet Boys concert when I was younger. :/ *blushes* I was a huge fan, it was cool then.. they aren't so good now..in my opinion.
Do you listen to the radio?Yes, all the time! I switch stations a lot though. I hate DJ's and such. I don't want to hear people talk! I switch it if I hear talking, commercials, a song I don't like. I believe you should change it so you always have a good song playing or pop in a cd.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music?I vary. I like to listen to 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's and today! I'm so all over the map. I will listen to almost anything really.
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) : I would love to be a dancer. However, I don't have all the skills required.. :( I can sing pretty well, but not amazing so, although it's fun, I can't be a singer.
What is the extent of your musical education?I have been in band since 4th grade so..this will be my 8th year. I'm in marching band too. I was in choir in elementary school but didn't persue it much in high school. I have Kareoke Revolution games for PS2 but.. that's as far as my singing goes. lol I also have been in dance for 10 years. I know some people might not consider that musical and what-not, but I do only because it involves music.
Would you like the Music Club to focus more on commercial music, traditional music, or another type? (In other words, what kind of activities would you like to see?) I really think whatever you do in here will be fine. :)

Do you listen to the radio? Yep
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music?I listen to both. As I said, I will listen to anything at all.
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) :Probably not

What was the best concert you've ever attended? My favourite concert (I've only been to 2) was the Evanesence(sorry about spelling) concert I went to 2 years ago. They're not one of my favourite bands, but it was my first concert and I was just so excited to be that close and all the jumping around was just so much fun.
Do you listen to the radio? I listen to the radio when I'm in the car, usually the classic rock station or one of those "80s, 90s, whatever" stations.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music?I like a lot of my parents music, which is mostly 80s. I grew up listening to Van Halen vinyls so now I like the songs because they remind me of dancing in the hall when I was four. My mom always has her mix CDs playing which also have some older and some current stuff so those are also pretty good.
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) : I really have no idea what I want to do with my life at this point, but I don't really see myself in that direction.
What is the extent of your musical education? Music in school until Grade 9, I took flute for 3 years and I was in a choir for 5 years.
Would you like the Music Club to focus more on commercial music, traditional music, or another type? (In other words, what kind of activities would you like to see?) I think it's best to focus on music that we all can listen to, and would all know, so I guess that's commercial music. Some one also said looking at the lyrics/meanings of songs, which I also think is interesting.

What was the best concert you've ever attended? I haven't been to a concert in ages and the concerts I have attended I'm ashamed to admit I went to.
Do you listen to the radio? Not really. Occasionally, I'll listen to a classical station while I work but I don't really listen to the radio all that much.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music? Mostly current music but a little bit of older stuff that I steal from my parents.
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) : Really, I'm not sure what I want to do right now so something involved with music isn't really out of the question but it's not likely.
What is the extent of your musical education? I've been playing flute for 7 years and I've been in the school orchestra for 4. Played guitar for a couple of years and I used to do a lot of musicals before I realized that I couldn't sing.
Would you like the Music Club to focus more on commercial music, traditional music, or another type? (In other words, what kind of activities would you like to see?) Eh, I don't really have a preference. I really like the lyrics idea that someone above suggested though.

Name Your favorite bands/artists (as many as you like): I am hopelessly addicted to Def Leppard, I have been since their Pyromania album came out (when I was all of 7). My music world revolves around them, but not only them. Other interests include: Metallica, Slate 44 (local band), BNL, Dropkick Murphys, Harry Connick Jr, Dr. John, Pink Floyd, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Eagles, Aerosmith, Elton John, Billy Joel, and various others. I listen to just about any type of rock/jazz/swing/big band/classical/new age, but don't do country or rap. Oh yeah, I love musicals, but don't do opera. Les Mis is my favorite (even named my cats Gavroche and Eponine).
What was the best concert you've ever attended? Again with the Def Leppard. I've seen them three times, but the first time I was able to see them in concert was amazing. It was at this stadium where they only allow a certain number of people on the floor, so it isn't as crowded/crazy around the stage, plus they were doing their 'in the round' thing, so I was on the rails in front of Phil (guitarist) the entire show. It was heavenly.
Do you listen to the radio? Not all that much anymore, but sometimes. I've been too annoyed with stations doing country music as a carry-over into the other stuff, and I have issues with that. Been sticking with cds and such mostly.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music? A mix, but probably more older stuff than current, since I don't listen to the radio much. How about 'new stuff from older bands'? That's more my style.
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) : I actually went to college to be a music industry major, I wanted to be a sound engineer. I got a little burned out, so I dropped out (with two semesters to go). I'll go back and finish one day, I hope.
What is the extent of your musical education? I play the flute, started when I was 11 and still play. I was in band from 6th grade through 4 years of college, took lessons from 10th grade and up through college. 4 years of music theory classes, etc.
Would you like the Music Club to focus more on commercial music, traditional music, or another type? (In other words, what kind of activities would you like to see?) Honestly, I'd love to see a mix of everything. I like to know what people play or like to listen to. I want to hear about new music and maybe get some recommendations from people without being forced to listen to the radio.
