Music education

[Gnash]

Let me impose a great musician on you all: Leonard Cohen. Well, musician -- he's a poet, painter and novelist as well. At any rate, this old Canadian musician is and has been a major influence on a lot of contemporary musicians. Without further ado I present you a couple of YouTube tracks in no particular order (just some of my personal favorites).

I myself have a vaaaast taste in music too.. And usually pick chilled soothing songs or acoustic to chill play to. BUT! Being an ex pvp-god *cackle* ya gotta crank it up! So my fave genres for owning alliance are Industrial metal (none of that OTT screamy metal shit), progressive rock (tool anyone?) and ofcourse Dubstep! 3 examples for those looking for some adrenaline pumpin music! This one a new found fave of mine by true Industrial founder trent reznor -

also recommend many other NiN songs for different gameplay. They have an amazingly varied sound.

Progressive song by Tool for grinding BG's, chilled music with some sudden breaks to build ur pew around - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckMM0GPutfo

And alas! A sweet drumstep mix for those who like more modern stuff
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MEWqx8IKXg (seems pussyish in the beginning if ur not familiar with pendulum.. But listen from start in BG and wait till the drop comes and you'll shit brix

My 50 cents or w/e yanks say! NN guys n gals!

[Akesha]

I can't remember if I've posted this before, but for me this is one of the stand out tracks of 2010. A beautiful mix of northern soul and rap, all wrapped up in gangster chic, Brit style. I love it.

Sir, I tip my exceedingly large top hat to your taste...

When I want to crank it up a little, I usually go for this:

If I am doing a dungeon, I prefer something a little slower and epic, such as this:

RPing is a little more tricky, as it can change in pace and setting very easily, so I won't link all the different parts or we'll be here all day, however, as Mazguul will testify, my main RP is focused on the WoW forums (The Open RP I am in is called Cannons of Battle, my character is Krovennan Darksabre). Recentl I was tasked with making some epic battle choreography, so what I did was put on some music to help get the tempo I wanted.

Heres what I used, hope you all like:
