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.

Date: 2006-01-12 12:33 pm (UTC)House: Slytherin
Age: 16 and turning 17 on May 31!
Name Your favorite bands/artists (as many as you like): Ani Difranco, Tori Amos, Bjork, Radiohead, Marcy Playground, Barenaked Ladies, Pink Floyd, Nat King Cole, Renato Russo, The Mamonas, The Doors, Elvis Presley, Duran Duran, Metallica, Snow Patrol, Modest Mouse, Interpol, The Killers, David Bowie, Die Warzau, Shakira, The Cranberries, Garbage, Queen, Foo Fighters, Fiona Apple, Simple Things, and tons others.
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.
