I watch CNBC until 10:30 est, then I put on MSNBC until 3:00 est, then I watch CNBC until 4:00. Once in a while I'll listen to some cd's during the middle of the day. (I'm a huge KISS fan and I also like Emenim)

I get my morning scoop from briefing.com and CNBC. I find the CNBC market talk somewhat interesting and entertaining.

CNBC gets pretty old. So I turn to MSNBC. I find the news reports interesting and informative. It's "one" of the things that keeps my mind busy during the trading day.
 
Thursday,they (newspeople) blamed the reverse to the downside in the market on a huge sale of futures. I say one hell of a contrarian signal. Friday, uday & usay were said to be killed and the market rallied strongly to the very close. W'ell its nice to see the Iraqi's have cornered the market. Now what is Bullsh*t?

Thx Wavetrader
 
Quote from Scientist:

Incidentally, I just wanted to start a thread on this, too :)

So I basically listen to anything from Classic (Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Domingo, Verdi, Bocelli) over Jazz, Rock, Pop, Folk, Celtic Music, Downbeat, Trip-Hop, all kinds of Electronica (Thievery Corporation, Autechre, Shpongle) right to the other end of the scale with Israeli Psychedelic Trance (Yahel, Infected Mushroom, Psycraft etc)

P.S: Currently listening to: <i>Miles Davis - Amandla</i>

My music is Ben from the squawk.

Scientist, if you like trance you shouldn't forget Leftfield. He's the king!
 
I write my own music. I have one which is for thinking, meditating or sleeping. Works real nice for trading, it is all mathmatical and never repeats. It's on my hard disk, but I still need to learn a few things to burn it on a CD, it's not that simple for me. When I get it done I'll send someone a copy and you can tell me if you like it.

Nice guitar sound these guys have. Not your traditional 3 chord and shit-I-broke-a-string stuff. Shades of Deep Purple maybe (guitar only)? I may have to delve further. Thanks for the link!
 
I especially dig atmospheric stuff like Stars of The Lid and Erik Satie for trading.

profitseer, if you want to share your interesting sounding music, I'll check it out.

Any good reccommendations from you internationals for Ukrainian/Bulgarian pop music that's sort of half traditional folk and half new-wave? I heard this stuff once on Canal and Broadway that was crazy and haven't been able to track it down.
 
sabena, that would be greatly appreciated.

all i can say is that it was a "dance" party, so the dj was mixing a lot of things together, but they were all eastern european artists. i'm not sure how much was the dj and how much was the tracks, but it sounded like traditional folk, dub, new wave, goth, and hiphop/triphop all in a span of a few minutes. i think it very well may have been mixed that way in the original music.

the thing that was so cool about it was that it crossed eastern european folk dances with such a wide variety of modern styles. i'm pretty sure it was the artist's doing and not the dj.

i've been looking for this ukrainian band "foa hoka" that surfaced in a web search for this stuff, but i'm not sure if it's what i heard. i also picked up a vladimir vysotsky record which is cool, but not what i'm looking for in this case. i think gogol bordello is closer to the mark. if there were a slightly older influence on them that was a little more hip hop or electronic and a little less punk, but retaining the traditional folk element, that would probably be it. recently i found W Witrynach Odbicia and it's cool sounding, but missing the folk dances.

thanks so much
