Question What would you play Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator        IP Information Go to the top of this page

So what music would you play if you are angry or upset?

If you had the facility to put that really annoying sales person on hold what music would you like to play them to put them off ever calling you again?

John Cage's 4'43".

(If you've never heard it performed, at least look it up to see why I chose it. Very, uh, "famous", piece.)

My daughter's singing. Goes on forever, even too long for her doting parents. Currently singing about the days she was born and how wonderful it was and how her favourite plant was there. Ooops, just changed to an ode to the new street.

What would I like to hear?

Pachabell's Canon. Most any interpretation.
The 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philarmonic playing the Beetles.
Galway playing Mancini.

Heh. The most fabulous documentery I ever watched was one on him, called "I have nothing to say, and I'm saying it." I swear, Cage is stoned during the whole film. (He might not have ever NOT been stoned, though, so...)

Music I'd put on to torture people? Anything from a Chinese opera. It's not as bad so long as you're watching it (so you have SOME context), but alone? Torture. ^_^

Oooh, and Bollywood, in the original language by a singer famous there but nowhere else.

Over the long weekend, CBC had some by a singer in English (Jazz) and Indian who, being tired of poor translations (sound familiar?) hired some competent translators. The bits we were able to hear over the car noises and the kids were good. I could definitely hear the Jazz influence in her singing, rendering it more palatable to my Western-raised ears. But, can't seem to find the episode. Maybe later,...

I just tell the annoying callers I'm registered with the TPS and they hang up quick. I don't need to do anything nasty to them - and having always been very careful with who I give my phone number to, I get very few cold calls anyway.

Angry though... I actually prefer to be angry in silence. I use music for good moods not bad.

Telephone Preference Service - in the UK you can sign up to it and it means it's illegal for you to be contacted for certain purposes such as unsolicited marketing, and tends to get you taken out of distributed phone number lists. Doesn't stop everything of course - offshore call centres are hard to proscecute. But because I've always been so careful with my phone numbers it's not been much of an issue anyway - unlike many other people who find themselves being called all day/evening by marketers and scammers.

Depends on mood. If I go to work and just in case it's going to be a bad day, then I try to put on rock or extremem metal music to calm my nerves down, but outside of work, then it depends on my mood really as I like almost anything that's not pop music from the late 90s and onwards.

Why not just play the Spitting Image No 1 sosng, Put A Chicken Up Your Nose song on all the time and very, very soon, the sales person or anybody you don't like will go away and leave you in peace.

I could wish.

A good number of the marketers get lists of phone numbers based on address range, and short of going to an unlisted number (hard on new friends and those who lose their address books) there's not much I can do.

And then you get those people who are offered a great job going around in person and ringing doorbells, and you get money for everyone you convince to switch to their rate saver plan for the utilities -- they've been brainwashed by their employers into thinking it's a great product. (Sure,... If my purchase will make them so much money it's worth paying the telemarketers, then I know they'd make a profit, meaning I'd lose money.)

What really bugs me, though, are the teens who come from real organizations. "Hi, I'm Steve. I'm an honest teen working with (shows card). It's an organization that provides honest work and job skills for teens." Uh, yeah. Begging is such a useful job skill.

Luckily I don't get people ringing me up like that, Usually it's a wrong number or on occasions people have tried sending faxes to me via my phone.

As for people who come to my door, I just say I am not interested and shut the door.

Ah. I'm on the US version (do-not-call). I'm on the ones for land lines and cell phones. No one's ever come to my door, but that's probably because I live in a college housing area.

For the legitimate ones, where the kid honestly thinks they're doing a charity a favour (and often enough they really are), or it's a good charity even if I don't care to donate at that moment, I tell a white lie.

For school ones, I say I've already donated through a neighbour or my own kids (actually, that's usually true). For the other charities, I say it's a great cause and I'm so glad people are helping them, and I donated through work or an earlier campaign. They still feel good for helping, and don't start the "But, but, it's a good cause!" spiel.

There was one charity it didn't work for, though. Mom's friend worked for it at the city level, so Mom donated through her. The national level called and gave Mom this spiel about how the funds are used for totally different (better, more worthy) projects and she really should donate to national level as well (and possibly instead). She told her friend, and the bosses got told, and national got a good talking to for ruining the image of the entire cause.

Angry or upset.

Depends whether I wanted to be mad for a while or to change my mood.

As a kid I used to go through my entire clarinet repertoire, play mostly slowish melodies, then get into the challenging ones as I got into it.

Now days, I don't listen much at all. Too many other noises in the house, and I find music distracts me.

At the moment that I am typing this, I am listening to Korn. Not for any special reason or mood, just haven't heard it for a while. Headbanger2

Nightwish for when I'm upset (esp the song "Sleeping sun", that leaves me breathless but happy)
And Iron Maiden when I'm angry.
Rockband

Uh... Korn, not bad! I saw them in concert some years ago...
