Magic Music

During the Musical months (Fiddler on the Roof this year) I often stay after school until rehearsal starts (around 6 pm). Anyway, the other day a few of my pit orchestra members who play Magic stuck around and played for a couple of hours and listening to CD's. I'm usually a buzz killer when it comes to them playing music I deem inappropiate for a school environment so they've kept it to vanilla music that they can still enjoy while playing MTG. So I popped my head in the band room and heard some cool soundtrack music, it was the soundtrack to "Halo" the game.

I like listening to non-descript quasi wallpaper music like this and so now I have a copy of it to play when my play group comes to my house.

What say YOU!?

I do not really listen to music while playing magic, but when I do, it is the Beatles.

Completely depends on who gets DJ responsibilities (or priviledges) for the evening, but we've almost always got something on. Otherwise its too quiet.

Whatever I burn off the internet...

But it varies with the decks I use:

Crazy, off the wall decks (like donation or other just plain funny combo): Usually Wierd Al or even some good blue grass bands.

All out war burn decks: Some really obnoxious heavy metal music that I can crank up real loud so everyone can hear it.

Racist white decks (or protection...): Usually some really heavy rap music...

Black shadow deck: I've now got a soundtrack especially for this deck :D



The list goes on, so you see how I try to team up psychological warfare with my normal gameplay to produce some interesting situations... Take one game for example, it was the last few turns where I was playing burn to this guys blue, and was just about to whipe the floor with the poor oldie. I cranked up the music pretty loud on the headsets and all the guy heard while I did 18 dmg to him with burn spells was the music going "die motha ******, die motha *******..." and he just gave up after he checked out the dmg score I settled on him.

Its not being evil... is it?

The groups I've been around usually have MTV on or otherwise...

Hatter had some crazy tapes that all of us would enjoy I'm sure... man - it's odd to say - but I really miss that guy...:eek: :cool:

A few times ago I played movies in my VCR w/o sound but had the local alternative radio station on. Some of the movies I'd run were: LOTR I & II, X-Men, Heavy Metal, X-Files, and once, for a joke, I ran the 1998 US Nationals video they sold with that year's championship decks.
=D

WHY would you turn off the sound to HEAVY METAL???!

That soundtrack kicks quite a bit of Code of Conduct!

...I owe it quite a bit... in that final Bar scene, I loved the song, and the soundtrack CD didn't have it on it... so I got a CD that did called 'greatest hits.' Now I'm quite the fan of the band that played it.

I often like the concept of "Video Wallpaper". I don't want my guests to really become engaged with the TV, so not having the sound/music matching the video often does the trick for me.

I have to mention that the playboy channel might be engaging - even with the sound off...;)

I usually don't listen to much music while playing(the game room at UMBC is always turned on MTV, so understandably I've learned to tune most of it out) but when I do listen to music, its usually my Flogging Molly mix. nothin' like a little Irish pub music to make you want to smack your opponent around.

*looks at train oddly*

ANYWAY!

I have noticed that any situation can have music. Just find the guy with the most annoying deck, take out a huge wooden spoon, and pound that sucker's skull like you're doing a drum solo at a Metallica concert!!! Hell yeah!
