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.

Name Your favorite bands/artists (as many as you like): I have quite a few from all sorts of genres but my all-time tops would be Linkin Park, Cold, Chevelle, Evanescence, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Disturbed, AC/DC, Rush, Queen, Colin James, and Green Day.
What was the best concert you've ever attended? That would be the most recent, which was Green Day in August. It was my first time seeing them live and I wasn't sure what to expect. It was chaotic and loud and it was a bloody fantastic experience and we each fed off each others energy. I loved their ability to involve the audience in all aspects of the performance, and it showed that they truly loved the music they were playing. They put their heart and soul into it, and that concert was something I'll never forget.
Do you listen to the radio? Not as much as I used to, mostly because my taste is so varied that I end up getting annoyed with stations that play crappy songs and I flip stations every 10 minutes. I suppose you could say I'm really picky.
Do you listen to alot of older music (70's, 80's, 90's), or mostly current music? Totally! I love Classic Rock, and I have my Dad to thank for that. I grew up listening to awesome bands like Boston, Led Zepellin, AC/DC, Queen, Chicago, Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi, Pink Floyd, and so many others. I love listening to the the classic rock just as much as I enjoy the new alternative/punk kind of rock.
Do you want to work in the music business or in a music-related job? (singer, music journalist, manager, teacher, etc.): I'm a very artistic and creative person and my passion in life is acting, however I also love singing and from what I've been told, I'm fairly good (I'm auditioning for Canadian Idol in April. Eek, lol) A job in a creative environment would be great for me, but I think my calling is really for the dramatic arts.
What is the extent of your musical education? I'm not professionally trained in the industry but I'd say that I know quite a lot about music. I like that I have quite a varied taste in music because I'm not partial to only one type and judgemental against every other. I know the classics with The Beatles, just as I enjoy listening to the present day Green Day music, so I think it's great to know where music evolved from.
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?) To be honest, I'm not sure what kinds of things you do here as I'm still fairly new, but from what I have seen I think it looks great. I can't live without music and It's such a fantastic outlet. Personally I'd love to look into all kinds of music, not just the mainstream 'pop' that is the basis these days. I've seen some trivia which I'd love to participate in, and other fun contests would be a lot of fun.
