I'd like to see (hear) a freestyle video with a Classical soundtrack.
Something like Khachaturian's Sabre Dance might go very good with
unicycling, or if you want to be a little more slow and graceful, try a
Strauss waltz.

Classical, and oldies have been done, too many times. Fast-paced techno,
like "Prodigy" would be cool, or some poppy indie stuff...

If the video has lots of energy in it, then the music should reflect
that.

You will never please everyone, so don't worry about the music too much.
If you go for something fairly mainstream, with a bit of energy then you
should be alright.

I can't stand Jazz, and I would think that Jazz is one type of music
that you either love or hate, which isn't good.

I like Classical, but it can be a little slow sometimes, or at the other
end of the scale, it can be a bit too much.

continued threadjackI sat behind 2000's Playmate of the year Jodi
Patterson in pre-calculus class at my atrox mater, Thurston Senior High
School. No one could say they enjoyed math class like we could! But
that's not my claim to fame.

My H.S. chemistry lab partner was not my claim to fame either: Kristen
Kinkel, sister of 'Kip Kinkel'
(http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/kinkel/), the psycho-naut
who killed his parents, had a good night's sleep, then went to school
the next day and shot 20 students, killing two of them. No one wants
that kind of association!

Riding Tahoe granite and hanging out at Chateau Lloyd with unicycling's
biggest names during CMW 2004 is on my best-of list, but I won't call it
my number one claim...

My claim to fame will come with my college diploma (in just over a
month!), which will be signed by none other than the Governator himself,
Ahnuld Schwarzenegger. Never once did I think, while watching reruns of
"Terminator" on late-night cable, that I'd receive a personal document
from Arnie himself. Never before have I ever placed anything in a
picture frame and hung it on a wall, but soon, history will be made...

The only reason people hate jazz is because they don't understand it.
People don't want to spend the time to decode the the music, so they
dismiss it and go to 3 chords repeated over and over wich is easier to
listen to because you don't have to understand it, it's just there, a
repeating loop full of nothing.

Plus, there are so many forms of Jazz. You can't put a blanket statement
over all of them and dismiss them all at once. You have to hear every
era, every artist, and every form of jazz before you can say you hate
it.

Here is a short list of items you should listen to before saying you
hate jazz:

Giant Steps, John Coltrane
Kind of Blue (the whole album), Miles Davis
A kiss to Build a Dream on (and others), Louis Armstrong
Strange Fruit, Billy Holiday
5th House and Syeeda's Song Flute, both by Coltrane
any Roland Kirk,
Epistrophy, Thelonious Monk


There are sooo many others, and I didn't list any contemporary artists.
Please look into a couple of these, and don't just listen once, listen a
couple of times, then put them away, and after a while, you'll want to
listen again and you'll hear things you missed and you'll start to love
them all. Well, that's enough of my ranting.

know why, but those two bands come into mind
