Music..

[madstork91]

You said you listen to some music out of japan, my friend turned me on to some Ayume hamisake from there and some F.I.R and some M.O.V.E. out of china (i think both of them are chineese) anyhow all of which is some good shite!

It's Ayumi Hamazaki, not the garbled spelling!
Around the time I departed Tokyo for college, Chinese and Korean pop 'artists' (most of which I have trouble accepting them as such..) or bands or groups or whatever, go by names that are acronyms... I wonder what they stand for. Japan had a small fad with acronyms before too.

Anyways, listening to Mozart's Requiem Mass while studying or playing CS seems to work wonders in performance. You should check it out!

I listen to rap, Tupac, rap, Tupac, rap, and oh did I mention Tupac. [bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep] Dre and all these so called rappers. I haven't heard Dre say anything but "uh" in 4 years. Tupac was real thug, and a real rapper.
