My "House of Music"

I believe that the majority of people's tastes in music are not limited to just one genre, and I am definitely not an exception. Mr. Duemer presented the idea in class to talk about one's own "House of Music" which I found extremely interesting to consider. Therefore here is what my House of Music would sound like in each room.

Main Rooms: I would say there is a random array of music, typically I would just set my iTunes on shuffle and listen to my music that fit my particular mood.

Work out Room: Music with high energy that makes me happy and want to have fun. I think that when a person wants to have an effective workout they should have fun with it so they want to push themselves for a longer period of time. I would listen to a lot of pop music, mainstream rap and hip hop, and fast-paced fun rock. Some of the artists would include Chris Brown, Lady Gaga, Blink 182, Soulja Boy, Britney Spears, etc. Another aspect of my workout room would contain what music I listen to before I have a basketball game which is mostly pump-up music like music mixes you could find on "Jock Jams", techno mixes and more serious rap.

Party Room/ Dance Floor: This music would probably be rather similar to the music I listen to while I work out but with the added Cyndi Lauper "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" sing-a-long type songs that I can have fun with and sing and dance to with my friends. I also listen to of popular songs that you would hear on the radio just because that is what most people know and all listen to and like. I just want to have a good time in this room and by having upbeat, popular music playing I feel like that is the best way I can do that.

Bedroom: What I listen to in my room truly depends a lot on my mood at that point in the day. For the most part what I want to listen to in my room is something that will relax me. I will listen a lot of alternative rock with artists such as John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Death Cab for Cutie, Band of Horses, The Shins, etc. I typically listen to music before I go to sleep so I find that those artists are best for me to relax to and fall asleep in a happy mood. On the other hand in my room when I am cleaning or doing work or getting ready for the day I love listening to music from different cultures mostly Spanish, Finnish and Italian music. However they are not limited to just those. I really love different languages and cultures so this is my way of listening to something different that I won't hear on the radio every day.

Basement: I love the oldies! Since I was very young whenever my Dad and I would be in the car he would insist on listening to the oldies music station. At first I despised it and would tune it out but the more I listened to it I learned I really loved a lot of the music. The Beatles, CCR, Jackson 5, Carol King, The Who and so many more are definitely some of my favorites and they are a guilty pleasure of mine.
