When I turn on satellite radio, my go to choice is Adult Alternative. I'm always looking for something new. My personal burned CD's I lean heavily to Trip Hop. And that's kind of misleading. It's the downtempo stuff I like. Much like ambient with some beats.

Trip Hop? What the ****! Never in a million years would I have associated that to your musical taste.

Yea, it slowly happened over the years. When I was going after my graphic art degree, I was the typical college student, staying up all hours of the night tackling the next art project. I would play my rock music loud and just see where things lead me.
Then as I stood back and looked at what I did and how I felt, I noticed my art had a hard edge to it. It was aggressive. I also was tired and I don't mean from the late hours. I was just energetic and worked harder.  It hit me, when listening to Ted Nugent, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, etc, I was approaching my art very different than say, nothing or just quiet music.
So I tried new things. Soft rock - yea, No!. Classical – that took a while to get used to, but I’ve come to enjoy it. Then one day I heard Massive Attack, which lead me Enigma, then on and on to other bands that have that relaxing downbeat sound. So when I really need to concentrate with work or just relaxing, that’s my music choice.

Now driving or working outside or partying… that’s a whole different thing. 

I pretty much listen to everything all the time

The Beach Boys, as part of a double header after a Padres game.
