Ahhh. Neat.

roadrunner is a cable internet service. it costs roughly $50 per month, but some other cable internet companies may be less expensive. of course, i also live in maine, so our prices may vary slightly. as an example to show you the difference between the two (cable and dial-up), i will contrast the kb/sec download rates... dial-up: 3.1 ... cable: 35.7 ... these are only averages from a recent alg2 lab my class just did, but it's fairly accurate... sometimes, it will download at up to fifty times faster! i need to subscribe to it... aol offers it for any of you with aol...

is a type of internet cableling that makes it so you don't have to dial up into the internet and it doesn't hog up the phone line. I dunno hopw much it costs, but at least it doesn't sign you off whenever someone tries to call you.

What exactly is roadrunner?

I suggest roadrunner. Works miracles. Just b care if you're hooking up a network. it might go crazy when you do it.

I love all types of music but am currently listening to Kelly Clarkson and Evanescence!

Damn this dial-up internet service!

jazzman, my band did the Chorale from Jupiter. The whole planets thing is 90 minutes long!

I enjoy that gustav holst piece as well . currently, my band is working on his planets piece. we are doing the movements mars and jupiter for our spring concert. hammersmith is a fairly long piece... i hope you have cable internet... haha... i certainly do not.. it took me about three and a half hours to download hammersmith. again, i'd like to recommend that you search for and download wynton's arrangement of Carnival of Venice. it is brilliant.
god bless,

have you heard the boston pops perform Portrait of Abraham Lincoln? they did an excellent narrated version of it for the superbowl half-time show two years ago... it was narrated by all of the living former presidents, and of course, the president as well.

Unfortunately I missed that..

i love nearly everything written by gustav holst. have you heard of him?

---

Yes. My favorite is Double Concerto for Two Violins and Orchestra Sadly enough, I don't recall hearing/playing Hammersmith..

that might actually upset you, but it's what i love to do

It doesn't upset me. Good luck on your arrangement. I'll try and find Hammersmith online so I can listen to it.

Bob Marley is a ****ing genius! But I'm so sick of people hearing No Woman, No Cry, or Smoke Two Joints and think that women and drugs are all that he's about. I'm not going to argue the fact that he was a pothead, and promiscuis, but he was completely origonal, and if it wasn't for him and the Wailers, who people always forget about, then mainstream music would not include reggae, and Rastafarianism (is that spelled right? I don't like big words) would be virtually unknown. Bob Marley is a music pioneer, and anyone who isn't familiar with him and the Wailers should go out and buy Exodus, or another one of his many incredible, eye-opening albums, RIGHT NOW. Exodus, by the way, was named CD of the Century, by Time magazine, so you know that it must be pretty good. I don't think Bob Marley knew how true he was when he said that his music would live on. He lives on through his music...he is truly immortal and untouchable. His talent is unparalleled and he is not only an incredible artist, but his heart and soul is in his music, and you can tell. The music of today would be so much better if the contemporary artists who make the crap on the radio that you can hear today would be so much better if they would just try to be a little more like Bob Marley.

I don't especially like hip hop or rap, mostly because I find the majority of it incredibly sexist, racist, chauvinistic, and materialistic, but I do have a great deal of respect for people who can freestyle. I don't understand how they do it; come up with witty, clever put downs off of the top of their head. It is amazing.

Rock. Not any of this new punk or goth bull****, but good, genuine rock. The Clash, The Strokes, The Doors, The Sex Pistols, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jeff Beck, etc.

I'm a huge fan of Josh Groban.DUDE!That guy can sing!omg

i know you aren't a fan of jazz, so i made sure that i pulled up two jazz trumpeters who are also unbelievable classical players as well (wynton more so than arturo). wynton is still the only person ever to win the grammies for both jazz and classical in the same year. if you have kazaa or you would like to buy a cd of his, i'd recomment that you find wynton's rendition of Carnival of Venice. it is unreal.

I have actually heard the boston symphony perform. it was very impressive, but i like the new york philharmonic a little more. have you heard the boston pops perform Portrait of Abraham Lincoln? they did an excellent narrated version of it for the superbowl half-time show two years ago... it was narrated by all of the living former presidents, and of course, the president as well.

i forgot to mention my other composer fetish... i love nearly everything written by gustav holst. have you heard of him? i'm sure you have. my favorite piece that he's written is called Hammersmith. the song is powerful. not that you are interested in this next bit of info, but i am rearranging hammersmith to be a jazz chart. that might actually upset you, but it's what i love to do... if you ever get a chance to listen to the piece, you could only imagine how difficult the segwee from classical to jazz is going to be on this particular piece... lol.

later n' god bless,

I'm not very familiar with Winton Marsalis or Arturo Sandoval because I'm not a devoted jazz connoisseur, obviously

I agree with you about the NY Philharmonic orchestra. Have you ever heard the Boston Symphony Orchestra? They're amazing.

My favorite composer is Samuel Barber and his infamous "Adagio for Strings," but I like Aaron Copland (my orchestra director was actually in an orchestra where he conducted) and his piece called Rodeo: "Hoedown" (the beef commercial theme song ). I also like John Williams considering that he is one of the more famous composers. Have you heard anything from Rossini? Most people know him for The Barber of Seville. Hmm.. I like Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, and more of the contemporary-classical composers.

i like unique sounds and artists who are really trying to say something with their music. I like eastern beats and sounds.

classical is awesome. i tried it out and i like it so much now, especially romantic era like tchicovsky and chopin.

check out ms. dynamite (r&b and hip-hop)
kylie (pop)
robbie williams (pop)
ayumi hamasaki (j-pop)
filter (rock)
cirrus (techno- that whole electric sound)
abandonded pools (mellow rock)
tatu (pop rock techno salad)

and always check out ethnic music

I love Rap and R&B. I love to hear people freestyle because you can come up with alot of different stuff. I also love gospel i can sing it all day long. I can't stand songs that don't make sense!!!!
