"But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing -

- There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old, my love."

Who's coming to Synthetic Culture tonight?

And a poll, because this has been on my mind lately. Which genres of music do you like? And I mean really like, makes hairs stand up on the back of your neck or tears come to your eyes or your foot to tap uncontrollably or makes you feel all's right with the world, that sort of like.

This isn't supposed to cover all genres. My purpose will be explained shortly. (I should have put in an 'Other - please state' thingy, so please state your others in the comments.)

I said a singer with a really good voice as a must, which isn't really fair since there can potentially be instrumental music, even, that I enjoy. But it's very much a rarity in comparison to well-voiced music. And 'good' is meant not only subjectively, but also contextually - Mr Rammstein isn't a voice I think of as "a good singing voice", but it's fantastic in its own environment.

I would also like to add whatever genre the good .hack//sign soundtrack songs are, which might be J-pop, but I wouldn't want to say that I like J-pop because the J-pop that I *don't* like, I dislike quite a lot. So I shall call it "wispy J-pop", and would also tend to lean my goth-with-guitars and lack of goth-with-bleeps together into a single category of "wispy goth". And Indie must also be reselected as "wispy Indie", probably. So really I'd just select the single category of "wispy", and then add a few Rammstein and Bathory songs or something as the exceptions that prove the rule. Even though they disprove it, that's proof in rhetoric-world.
