Can I marry you.. my list is almost the same...

[cappy]

I'd say everything I listen to I listen to to chill me out.

Matthew Good is a big one right now though.

im the same way, i used to like rap but after getting into all these amazing rock bands, i cant stand even my favorite rappers anymore its crazy

[Belial]

Can I marry you..

No.

But if you want you can be my thing on the side.

[Natsu]

No.

But if you want you can be my thing on the side.

ohh

ok.. I'm cool with that but you have nice tastes in music btw.

[stranger]

for chilling out, i always reach for post-rock

anything ranging from the mellow Caspian to the off-the wall "math rock" stylings of 65daysofstatic

[Belial]

ohh

ok.. I'm cool with that but you have nice tastes in music btw.

So do you.

I like to consider my tastes very eclectic, though that word seems a little worn out as of late.

The Vault Dwellers

Speaking of which, as my roommate is currently the other errant Vault Dweller, we keep meaning to make more music. But he's short on money and keeps saying he's going to get a drum set and then doesn't.

So... I dunno what to say. If I get more original lyrics I'll make some more songs!

EDIT: To get back on topic... When I want to chill out I listen to music I know real well. I like to listen to reggae stuff sometime (I used to all the time, not so much anymore) and funk. Even though the funk is really high energy it's calming at the same time.

dude wtf... are you me? im all about the roots reggae and funk. no joke. i love http://radio.rightonscales.com/ and http://www.wefunkradio.com/ though between funk sets they play oldschool, underground, and local hip hop sets

Huh... I'll look into both of those!

Even though I really like reggae and funk I don't listen to either of them enough. As I said, it's chill out music, and my life is usually one giant chillfest. I listen to crazy shit to feel less chill a lot of the time.
