I enjoy music.

I especially enjoy music I can shake my booty to.

Back in my college days, next to my daily Tori Amos dose, all I listened to was crazy "nu-metal" rock because that's what (the now) hubs listened to.  But my favorite genre was "industrial" - the kind of music that incorporated a few DJ-ish/programmed "beats" with electric guitar.  So I loved bands like Ultraspank (my absolute FAV), Korn (the later years), Gravity Kills, The Union Underground, Stabbing Westward, Powerman 5000, Rob Zombie, Nine Inch Nails, etc.

I never really admitted to myself how much I loved dance music until about 2005.  After all, I have always loved beats - hell, it's even in my blood.  Have you seen traditional Korean drumming?

Well today I saw an "announcement" that made me way too excited - a collaboration between Chris Cornell and Timbaland; I love the songs Timbaland produces and I'm a HUGE fan of Chris Cornell!  (His "Finally Forever" song was the 1st song my hubs and I danced to at our wedding.)  Timbaland is supposed to produce Cornell's next solo album.  Articles I have read say that both artists think this collaboration is their best material yet.  

Additionally, Timbaland is creating the first only "mobile record" that will only be available to subscribers of Verizon.  I saw a "vCast" video (for Verizon Wireless customers) that played a commercial with a snippet of a song w/Chris Cornell and Timbaland.  It sounds great!  I can't wait to hear the album.  The snippet starts around 56 seconds.  Take a peak. It makes me want to become a Verizon customer. Too bad I'm locked into Sprint for another 2 years.

 

Now that I've overkilled on You Tube videos, I'm out.
