strange musical recommendations
MilkmanDan:
--- Quote from: TrueNeutral ---My Philosophy Teacher got me into Iron Maiden(I wasn't really into music at this time and as such never listened to them. This was about five-six years ago, when I was eleven or twelve and for some reason, disliked all music).
--- End quote ---
My Philosophy teacher got me into Sun Ra, The Congos and Karlheinz Stockhausen. In return I gave him Venetian Snares, Autechre and Masonna. Clearly, he is all kinds of crazy awesome. In fact, the only time he even failed to impress was when he tried to get me listening to Serialism. The mighty Stockhausen and Iannis Xenakis were winners as usual, but Arnold Schoenberg was a step too far. So, yeah. Early 20th century avant garde for the win, I guess. Olivier Messiaen was pretty good as well, but not good enough to make me like Serialism.

My year 12 philosophy teacher spent just as much time tutoring me in the life and works of Radiohead, Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine as those of Sartre and pals. :D
edit: and flipping back through the thread again, this doesn't seem to be such an uncommon occurrence...
La Creme:
I just realized that a ska kid was the first one to really make it clear to me that I need to listen to more Zappa. That guy is my hero.
Kai:
Your philosophy Teacher got you into Sun Ra? Awesome! I'm so taking Philosophy next year.
I foudn my first Sun Ra album behind a cd store in the dumpster, alogn with a ton of bootlegs and shit.
La Creme:
My school does not offer philosophy. Because LAUSD is 12 wangs of gorilla.
I guess I'll be taking Physcology next year, and the psych teacher definately listens to good stuff. I always hear him blasting Faith No More and Miles Davis and X out of his room in the morning. He is a little Chilean man and he dances around to the music. He is also my hero. He was playing "Clackity Jones" (by the Pixies if you don't know) this morning. He is my hero 9 times.
