The Carpenters
As a kid, my mom adored oldies. Tie a Yellow Ribbon was a staple in our car and she owned every Carpenters cassette there was. She had oldie mix tapes, like with the Platters or the Temptations, Aretha Franklin and others. What I remember is my mom's handwritting on the cassettes detailing the song list, my favorite song ever, Yesterday Once More, always reminds me of her. The Spice Girls Starting with an unfortunate infatuation with the Spice Girls, then N'SYNC and the like, I got into the pop scene. Not much to say here, went to middle school, made friends and it was the big music of that era. I even bought the N'SYNC biography book, what shame. Tupac Very briefly dabbled in rap and R&B. Tupac was the main attraction but I also got in Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G., Brian McKnight, Craig David, R. Kelly. Main influence was that my old brother was really into it so I was affected since I would constantly hear California Love pumping out of her room. David Tao Went through a huge Asian Pop phase. David Tao, Jay Chou, Landy Wen, Sun Yanzi, Ayumi Hamasaki, M-FLO, Se7en, Shinhwa, G.O.D., BoA, etc. All the big Chinese, Korean and Japanese artist of the time, I explored. The issue was that because music is hard to find online, I had to buy everything and towards the end of this year long obsession, I had upwards of 200 Asian pop CDs, all which I don't listen to now. What a fucking waste of money. I also got into techno (it's around the same sound as Asian Pop) but for the sake of sanity, won't list. John Mayer When college started, my music change shifted drastically. It started with a love for John Mayer and Jason Mraz but I futhur explored thtat sort of sound. I'm going to lump artists like Elliott Smith and Andrew Bird here, for fear of being shot, just because I associate their sound somewhat alike. Soft rock, a little emo and angst thrown in and you go these emaciated white boys with guitars. Oh and Ben Lee, love Ben Lee. Still there. I would like to think all of my previous music interests are still with me, I still listen (sparingly) to the rap, pop, Asian that I used to love but the genres I'm exploring are expanding, hopefully. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
