DE: I can feel it calling in the air this morning, oh Lord

[bjornwilde]

 Let's talk music today. Are there any certain genres or styles that wake up your pup? Are those styles what you expected or have you been surprised before? Or is music just a thing other people like that your pup just doesn't grok?

Alternately, if you have no ideas post in with your pup and we'll offer suggestions. I know I'm looking for general musical styles rather than specific bands, but as with every DE, feel free to answer in your own way!

ETA: Just want to tack on a mun FYI so I don't spam the backroom, I noticed some weird tab behavior in my Chrome that might suggest some malware, so I am being paranoid and using Firefox until I can get home to fix things. I may not be tagging as much as I'd like as FF isn't primed for RPG here at work.

For Voodoo, I tend to listen to hip-hop (Nas, Biggie Smalls, and Jay-Z in particular) or trashy-ass rock like Breaking Benjamin and Linkin Park. (Danger Close actually put a Linkin Park song in each of the MoH reboot entries - "The Catalyst" and "Castle of Glass", respectively, with "Lies Greed Misery" being used in a trailer for Warfighter's multiplayer. They even made a music video for "The Catalyst". Beats me as to why they had such a hard-on for the stuff, but there you have it.)

For Connor, I listen to spacey alternative like Florence and the Machine, Imagine Dragons, or Woodkid.

For Mako, I listen to jazz.

For B.J, I listen to jazz and country.

For Maverick, I listen to Now That's What I Call The 80s and the Top Gun soundtrack.

For Ellie, I listen to Nirvana and Foo Fighters. I think that'd be called grunge. Or post-grunge? One or the other.

Rollo seems to love heavy metal or metal in general. He also loved Wiz Khalifa, so I think hip hop would be a thing for him; oddly enough.

Selina is a sucker for poppy dance tunes; Lady Gaga, Sia, Neon Jungle, etc.

Luidaeg seems to respond most with world music (Loreena McKennitt, Dead Can Dance)and/or Indie Pop.

Ahsoka is definitely pop and alt rock.

Sam is all about R&B, and Soul. I haven't had a chance to be surprised by him since he doesn't seem to need music to wake up.

In the surprises department, my old pup Ben Grimm loved surf rock and Jessica Drew seemed to love funk metal.

I have no clue. My tastes are so eclectic. I know Dejah prefers classical and jazz guitar. As for waking her up? This lady never really sleeps anymore. Ideas?

[bjornwilde]

With classic and jazz to go by, I wonder if she wouldn't like shoegaze or trip hop.

[dejah_thoris]

I have never even heard of shoegaze. I must look this up!

[notapilot]

Cockteau Twins is one of the first Shoegaze bands. It's very ethereal and atmospheric. Sometimes it's called Shoegazer and I don't know which is more correct.

[dejah_thoris]

Okay, I love me some Cocteau Twins. Sounds like something Dejah would totally be into.

Electro-Swing maybe? Try Caravan Palace or Movits! (Warning: Movits! is manufactured in a facility containing Swedes*. The management is not responsible for any cravings for meatballs, lingonberry soda, or flat-pack furniture that may arise in your pups.).

[* The people, not the vegetable. That's a rutabaga. Any cravings for rutabagas that arise in your pups have nothing to do whatsoever with Movits!.]

[dejah_thoris]

LOL Okay! I will definitely look into Electro-Swing. Sounds like my kinda thing.

[lazy_but_loyal]

I love Movits! This has nothing to do with the pups I play. >.>

Bumi really loves that new Jazz stuff the kids are making. It's got a great beat, and is fantastic to dance to.

Raph is all about classic rock and early metal. Going without for the last decade or so, while living in Olau, has given him a new respect for Blues and Johnny Cash-like country.

Mike has started down the dark path of ukulele covers of all music. Fear. FEAR!

Splinter loves classical and Opera and Elvis.

Aang Loves any music you can dance to...and for him that's most music.

The Loompas tend towards rock and heavy metal.

Tess is one of those weird pups that doesn't really respond to music. Occasionally she doesn't mind some Edith Piaf or lullabies (which is strange, I know) but generally she prefers the sound of silence.
