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: 22
Name Your favorite bands/artists (as many as you like): Dresden Dolls, Colony 5, Nina Hagen, Pet Shop Boys, BlutEngel, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Beborn Beton, Thoushaltnot, Assemblage 23, Fiction 8, Apoptygma Berzerk, L'ame Immortelle, Covenant, De/Vision, Behind the Scenes, the Cruxshadows, London After Midnight, Jack Off Jill, Snake River Conspiracy, Dissonance, Garbage, Funker Vogt, Bella Morte, Blondie, Nick Cave &, the Bad Seeds, Tori Amos, Sunshine Blind
What was the best concert you've ever attended? Hm.. probably the Wallflowers. We managed to sneak up to the front row for that one.
Do you listen to the radio? Sometimes I do. It really depends if I'm in the mood. I mostly listen to my CD's.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music? I think most of the music I listen to is older, but there's some current music I listen to.
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.) : I'd love to be a singer, and I do plan on working on that in my spare time.
What is the extent of your musical education? I've had both piano and voice lessons. As for music I listen to, I mostly use the Internet (Internet radio and such) to find stuff I'm into.
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?) Hm.. I'd say a variety would be best, so everyone can get in on something or other.
