I rely on last.fm most of the time for music though majority of my 750GB hard disk is filled with music. It just costs as much as a visit to CCD, so that’s fine, I just love it. When I wake up, I normally play Manish Vyas tag radio on last.fm which includes Manish Vyas, Prem Joshua, Tabla Beat Science, Karunesh, Talvin Singh, all Indian classical & new age artists. Listening to this kind of music brings some kind of smooth start for the day. Later in the day, my listening depends on the mood, so it’s normally random. If I’m in a romantic mood, I listen to Bollywood, kannada, tamil, telugu music, if something is fucked up I listen to Linkin Park!! If feeling down, Coldplay. When there is a little headache, I listen to metal, preferably Iron Maiden. Even the research says listening to loud music releases some kind of hormones in brain which gives ‘feel good’ feeling!

When my mood is normal, I listen to rock, punk, hip hop, dance, trance, electronic, metal, alternative…etc. My normal playlist includes Green Day, The Prodigy, Fall out boy, coldplay, 3 doors down, Dream Theater, Flo Rida, Bon Jovi, Poets of the fall, Lifehouse, DJ Tiesto, Deadmau5 and lot others. I listen to lot of Indian bands too, motherjane, Junkyard Groove, Swarathma, Sona Mohapatra, Zero are few of those. When I get bored of all the music I have (thats very rare!), I just hit last.fm & listen to ‘world’ tag radio & discover some music which is in some language which I cant figure out!!

I have the habit of listening to music as I sleep! Normally I play instrumental tracks at this time, create a playlist worth 30 to 40 minutes & sleep. Thanks to this winamp plugin which automatically shuts down the computer once the playlist is done! I think Blackstartblues is the most played artist at this time for me. And not to forget my new favorite ‘Rodrigo y Gabriela’, acoustic guitars on steroids!!!

And forgot to mention about my last.fm profile, do check it out & add if you are on last.fm. Most of the music I found are via last.fm & last.fm friends. If you are a music lover, you should be using last.fm. It keeps track of all your listening & gives suggestions based on that. And also helps in finding music compatibility with your friends. Personally, I’m very addicted to Last.fm radio, especially when I play “My Library”  or “My loved tracks”. 3USD a month is really great for what it offers.

I’m yet to find kind of music I hate, any suggestions??

I don’t use twitter like a group chat! Ex Tweet: “@A @B @C @D LOL @Efff must be named Fuckasura Lol ”

When somebody ask me what Twitter does, I always say “It doesn’t do anything, it’s just a platform, you can use it any way you want to!”.

Well, this is my personal opinion, the way I wanted Twitter to be, I’m not enforcing my thoughts, you can go ahead & use it the way *YOU* want it!

To conclude this little post, my handle on Twitter is @hnprashanth
