What kind of music do you listen to?

Right now? Yundi Li is banging out some Franz Liszt. Before the Liszt, there was some K-Pop by TVXQ/DBSK. After it will be some MC Solaar. I started out the evening listening to Death Cab for Cutie. Their mellow sound usually defines the general strain of my favorite songs. Sometimes I get a bit folksier with, for example, Brett Dennen or a bit more into pop with MAE or the like.
Then I have random faves that are really far from mellow, like Mindless Self Indulgence. I prefer more intense orchestral/“classical” music, overall, just for the drama. Schostakovitch is a beast for that very reason.

<p>This is quite disturbing, mostly because I listen to the exact same musicians. My playlist is studded with songs by MC Solaar (Guru, too :)), Liszt (though I greatly prefer Rafal Blechacz to Yundi), K-pop of all kinds (but I like J-pop and C-pop as well, though to a lesser degree), Shostakovitch (and all the other requisite Russian composers), and Brett Dennen. Millancad, your similarity in music tastes to mine is, simply put, terrifying. <em>shudder</em></p>

<p>And I love K’naan as well. Wavin’ Flag is a song I consistently put on repeat while doing my homework. :)</p>
