No. It isn't. It is incredibly normal. All of those artists can easily be found at any reasonable-sized Virgin megastore. It's like listening to Rick Astley, Simple Minds, Simply Red and Owen Paul.

I only listen to ambient gazebo.

Ambient gazebo ? You mean the summerhouse tip, right ? Dude, that's sooo two months ago.

Outside toilet's where it's happening now. It's grime and it's darkside, it's heavily industrial, but sometimes you have to move back to move forwards, y'know ? Don't get caught in the queue.

Actually, in the time it took for me to press the "post" button that last time, my famously eclectic musical tastes changed. I am now a long-time fan of hardcore German housewife.

and what about ethno music.

Eh? What's that? A lot of brown-skinned Johnny Foreigner-types... making music, you say?

Good gawd. Will wonders never cease.

And you've actually listened to some of it? This Bongo-Bongo-Land stuff, I mean.

Heavens. You're an awfully brave chap, aren't you?

Stout fellow.

I was hoping when I read the thread title that this might be a discussion about the fact that there really is too much music for any one of us to listen to in our lifetime, so most of us choose to make some decisions on the basis of style/genre...

fabi, people are mocking you because it seems to them as if you were saying "look at how many different styles of music I listen to - aren't I open-minded?" Initially I thought this might be a little harsh, but use of the term "ethno music" (unless this means something altogether different than what Mr Fear and I are thinking you mean) has put me in doubt.

I was hoping that too actually. Some thoughtful fellow should start a thread like that, it might be good..
