Homebrewing Music

[Doog_Si_Reeb]

Depends on my mood of course, but usually I go for punk with an Irish twist.
-Dropkick Murphys
-The Tossers,
-Flogging Molly

If I'm feeling rowdy,
-Hank III
-Whiskey Rebels
-Belligerent 86

Or, by default, I'll go metal,
-Amon Amarth
-Dimmu Borgir
-Dissection
-any of a hundred others in my collection...

 

[AquaDementia]

Gov't Mule
Marc Ford
Black Crowes
or the old standby.....

Ron Santo on WGN radio

 

[humann_brewing]

My 3rd room on the receiver goes to the back deck and I mainly send internet radio back there streamed through the receiver (181.FM - The Buzz (Alt. Rock) ~ Free Internet Radio | Your Lifestyle, Your Music!) or turn the DirectTV box to a XM station.

 

[StoutFan]

HUH? What is there not to like about Zep? Ok, some of the songs don't do it for me, but they are very diverse. I can only imagine what they sound like in a "smokey" environment...

And Stoutfan, I have been wanting to hear what Dragonforce is all about. I heard their guitar is very good. Reminds me to get on the web and look them up!

Melodic DIO-esque speed-F*$%ing-metal! There stuff is absolutely amazing. I have to recommend "Operation Ground and Pound". Great stuff!

 

[cclloyd]

I always listen to something and it's never the same....

 

[JVD_X]

I put on Pandora and let the music go where is goes.

 

[dzamba]

Aerosmith
Zeppelin
White Stripes

 

[cytokine]

Stan Getz
Buddy Holly
Muddy Waters
Pink Floyd
Brasiliero (Putumayo Mix)

Music? You mean you don't listen to the grain mashing. It is like listening to crawdads screaming when you drop them into the water.

MGMT, Josh Groban, the Sounds, The Pogues, Flogging Molly, Michael Jackson (Off the Wall is still awesome, so is Bad), Jamil Show, Kid Cudi, Dgiin (awesome local band, check em out. France meets flamenco meets a couple hippies) or I scour this forum for witty crap to say to other posters

Honestly though, my iPod has everything from Rap, Folk, Blues, Rock, Modern stuff, Punk, Opera, World and on and on. I just toss on shuffle and away I go. Always interesting when a little opera is next to rap, but hey! The spice of life!

 

[fastricky]

Classic rock

Yes guy...!

 

[snailsongs]

I rate all the songs on my iPod.
I delete anything that gets a 1 or 2.

I have a playlist for the 3, 4, and 5 star songs.

My 5 star song list has around 800 songs. So I just rock that on shuffle.
Anything might come up.
Iron Maiden
Aesop Rock
Woodie Guthrie
Wilhelm Scream
Ben Folds

Its awesome, and random, and I brew best that way.

Aesop Rock! - good stuff
Woodie guthrie too

 

[clemson55]

I have a brewing mix on the ipod its got Carbon Leaf, Joe Pug, Benjy Davis Project, Corey Smith, and then just a few individual songs from other bands.

Eddculus wish I'd have known you were gonna be at Phish I live 10 minutes from the coliseum, we never got to have a beer in Clemson we could of had one up here in va.

 

[MgMt_Home_Brew]

I typically listen to my top rated list as weel which can range from:
Led Zepplin
Hatebreed
Darkest Hour
Dropkick Murphys
Cake
The spooks
Metallica
Talking Heads
DragonForce

 

[humann_brewing]

I think with the re-issue of Pearl Jam - Ten I will have to bring out their whole discography to brew with next time.

 

[mmb]

Acadian folk, Irish influenced bands, Bluegrass and little else when when brewing. Drives the misses nuts.

Great Big Sea?

 

[chelero]

Maiden, Sabbath, Zep. classic rock, or....classical music...Bruckner comes to mind. why not listen to a massive over-the-top late romantic german symphony while brewing beer??! I know playing it always leaves me thirsty for beer, so why not the other way around?

 

[gnoeou]

I enjoy a little bit of everything. A sample from my Music Collection:

Metallica
Brad Paisley
Bush
Creed
DMB
Days of the New
Slipknot
Killswitch
Foo Fighters
Garth Brooks

 

[Parker36]

Easy All Stars' "Dub Side of the Moon"

Great one. Have you heard their other album "Radiodread"?
edit: They are also releasing a dub version of Sgt Peppers in two weeks!

Am I the only person here who doesn't get high all the time?

Haha, that is awesome

As for myself. I have a pretty ecclectic taste. I found at leats 2 or 3 bands in everybody's list that I would listen to (except Ceedubya - sorry)

 

[annasdadhockey]

Slipknot

Nice!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SkinnyShamrock]

Wow, lots of metal fans on HBT, awesome! I wish the rest of the world had this many fans of Killswitch and whatnot.

I rarely listen to music when brewing, actually. But when I do it's my typical favorites...

Killswitch
Protest the Hero
Misery Signals
A Life Once Lost
Trivium
Dave Matthews Band (live or not at all)
The Cat Empire
The song "Beer" by Reel Big Fish

 

[Medo]

Ahoy hoy,
Aw hell this is an easy one.
Instrumental Jazz...or....
Bon Scott era AC/DC....or....
Old Time Radio Shows from the 30s and 40s...
So, isnt this what everyone listens to when their brewing?
A great day to all!

DEATH.....before disco.......:rockin:

[BrewBrain]

I listen to the voices in my head. Brewing is 4 - 5 hours of birds chirping and propane roaring. Why spoil it?

Not a music guy. I have never heard of probably 75%+ of what's been listed. No ipod either. I think I'm last

I do often listen to a baseball game while brewing in the summer.

 

[Joos]

I listen to all kinds of music(excluding country and rap).Flogging molly all the way If I'm Brewing/Drinking?fighting.Gotta celebrate the irish roots.Poig ma gaile thoin!

 

[user 30639]

If I have my laptop handy, I either turn on my Red Dirt channel on Pandora or Radio Free Texas. If my wife has commandeered my computer, I just turn on the local classic rock station.

Note to self, get another computer.

 

[Bach7210]

I throw the XM into the boombox and promptly put it on 202.

Either listen to:

Opie and Anthony

-or-

Ron and Fez

depending on what time of the day it is. If they don't happen to be on, then I'll go over the classic rock or 70's channel.

 

[KayaBrew]

Roots Reggae!! Spear, Midnite, Culture, Bob, Derrick Morgan, the Itals...etc

 

[foxtrot]

"Great one. Have you heard their other album "Radiodread"?
edit: They are also releasing a dub version of Sgt Peppers in two weeks!"

I plan to get those, too. Did you catch them at the Fox? I missed that show (I live in Arvada, BTW). Almost neighbors!

I tend to have the telly on, too (no sound). The History channel or something with cool images.

(How do you guys do the quote box thingy?)

 

[rico567]

There's always Glenn Gould's rendition of The Well-Tempered Clavier by Bach....or perhaps if it's a rainy day, the mid-range "Rasumovsky" quartets of Beethoven. I'm particular to Op. 59, No. 2.

No, really......

 

[BlackRob]

SLAYER



Amon Amarth
Lamb of God
King Diamond
Kreator
Clutch
Pantera
Cannibal Corpse

[fixie]

I love some sweet guitar!

Derek Trucks Band
Allman Brothers
Bill Frisell
David Grisman
Carl Harvey
Just to name a few the list could go on forever.

[mmb]

This is the Friday song on KLQ here in Grand Rapids! Beer Is Good!

Do they do a bit afterwords talking about how alcohol abuse is bad? Z93 in Mid Michigan has in the past.

Beer is Good.

 

[gabeweisz]

Various metal, as the mood strikes me.

 

[chrisbarnes5000]

It depends on the wether. If it is sunny I whip out my solar powered radio and listen to NPR. If it is cloudy I haul out the speakers and plug in the ipod. Then:

Motorhead
RL Burnside
Uncle Tupelo
Pulp
Tom Waits
NERD
Cake
Cracker
The Clash
The Cramps
Dead Prez
Swans
Gogol Bordello
Guitar Wolf
Leonard Cohen
etc, etc

 

[JPicasso]

Ah, sort of like RUSH for me...

AMEN! Don't get it.

FM Rock mostly,

Although I've been on a Godsmack kick lately.

Metallica, Megadeath, BlackLabel Society.

Someone posted a RedFang YouTube vid (pretty funny), would like to hear more of them.

And don't forget about Weird Al.:fro:

As someone said to me - "I could maybe brew with you for like half a day...." You have some nostalgic stuff on there for me....uncle tupelo, burnside, cramps, etc. I have mixed feelings about a lot of that mid 90's stuff, just because of the strings attached.....I'm an NPR brewer myself, as I tend to get started at about 5AM when the fam is asleep and NPR news programs abound!
