Music and Milling

[BigTrev]

Music and work go hand in hand for me, though I dont have the facility to listen to music while sawing (seeing as that it is usually doing a demo). My mates and I always rely on music to get the creativity flowing when we break/fixing/breaking cars and suddenly realise that we dont have the right tool to fix/break something  :D

Anyone heard the tune "The Lumberjack" by Jackall? Sweet chainsaw solo  :D

[D Martin]

In the link  lt40 ,thought you guys would like it

[LT40HDD51]

Whoops  ;D. Never seen the video, thats great  :D. Yeah, it came on the satellite the other day while we were working. I agree, great tune for whackin up some logs  ;D

Having been in the building/remodeling business for as long as I was, I had folks that would want to have radio playing while working.  But, it never really worked out well.

Yup, been there myself, and sometimes was forced to listen to "their" country music for the day. It made it an awful work environment.  :D :D

On a serious note, I will say, I cannot stand radio commercials! I would rather have silence than listen to that repetitive balderdash. Not to mention the same songs are played over and over again. Don't they know Zepplin had more than three songs?  ;D

I say....to each their own. Music certainly has it's place and affects on each individual. If you like music while working, play it.

Hmmmm....notable you should mention Zepplin, rvrdivr.

Was just one of those times music on the site didn't work too well.

Had to have been quite a bit earlier on, as "Gallows Pole" came on, ended up dropping the 2X12 I was puttin' up on the horses, that DanG left leg started doing its thing, then the right, then next thing you know, was covering about a half acre, then the whooping started, nostrils flared, ears pricked, and started looking for someone to scalp.  Fortunately, song ended about that time, and the hands were in the truck with the doors locked.

No one mentioned radio for a good, long while.

Hmmm...so what a think about rap music?  :D :D

It is one of my pristinely cultivated disciplines not to.   

                                                     

A Notation

That discipline was not arbitrarily obtained.  In the spirit of objectivity, I did a bit of research. 
My personal conclusion was that I believe it evolved from an earlier work performed by Cheech Marin.

The beat quite parallel, and the lyrics have since been, obviously, unobtainable by recent day application.

"My Daddy talka to me,  try to tell me how to live.

bada-bump  bada-bump  bada-bump  bada-bump  bomp-ba

But, I don't listen to him, 'cause my head is like a sieve."

etc.

Its one of the few personal preferences that can result in my banning a member from the forum.

I get tired of talking all day to folks.  Get home ,  fire up the manual mill after dinner and saw a log- got my MP3 with cajun,  Dr. John or Tower of Power.  It keeps me loose.  Then I go to stackin'....same thing.  Keeps me loose.  Got both eyes,  both ears,  and all 21.

You can't make someone safe.  You can make all the rules you want but a person has to be careful him/herself.  Tell them to be safe for the others that will have to find you and clean up the mess.

We had a fella get crushed in a machine at the plant.  Long timer in the area. Taking a shortcut that he'd taken before and tripped some kind of switch when blowing out. Pretty messy.  So the corporate guys are still coming down 6 weeks later trying to assign blame.  Someone's going to be a fall guy as an example. 

Bad stuff happens.  It's not the tunes fault.    Now, cell phone users while driving!  There should be open season on them!!!   They could get me killed!  They're dangerous!

...And it dont bother me, if you dont think Im funny,
cause Im a big rock star, and I make a lotsa money, money, money, money.........  ;D

All the more reason to get a satellite reciever. Mine was about $100 and $10/month. Uninterrupted, commercial free, non-repetitive rock n roll anywhere on the planet = priceless.  ;D
