What music have to listened to lately?

[mvd]

OK, it happened. I gave into Gaga mania. The Fame is one of those albums that suddenly hit me. I guess it was the overplaying and mediocre live performances that put me off. But it really is a great pop album. May have to also re-evaluate Born This Way.

Besides The Fame, I've been listening to Adele's 21 a lot, which is also very good.

1. Sounds like you trend toward female vocalists.

No chance you were gonna duck Gag.

Adele is real good. Maybe SHE can play Janis in one of the two uncast Janis Joplin movies stalled in Hollywood. No doubt her demons can bring the acting to life.

Me? Lately I like headnod shit like Thievery Corporation, Fort Knox Five, Z-Trip.

Still can't get the new Beasties album or Girl Talk out of my changer.

[mvd]

4. I do, actually. Though I like a lot of male classic rock and rock artists

It appears lately that women are doing my kind of music more. Good idea for Adele. Hope her vocal chords heal soon.

[Broderick]

2. Huh?

What music have to listened to lately?

????

I don't have to listen to a thing.

[Tobin S.]

3. I listen to a lot of satellite radio

Alternative rock, new hard rock, 80s hair bands, new and classic metal, and classic hard rock.

Some new bands that I really like are AWOL Nation, Grouplove, and Volbeat.

[7wo7rees]

5. Tell me about AWOL.

I know the hit. In fact, you can DL a live version on Earmilk.com.
But I don't what the rest sounds like. You like?

[Tobin S.]

7. I haven't bought the album yet

But I really like the two singles they've released. The one you might not have heard yet is:

[7wo7rees]

14. Great song.

Thanks for turning me on.
Memorable, angsty, hooky as hell. Perfect. They're goin' places.
Video reminds me a little of Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer, with a little Island of Misfit Toys thrown in.

BTW, I have been thinking of your tagline all week. Thanks a lot.

6. Other than Yes and Jethro Tull, I've been listening to these:

[Initech]

10. Oh man do I love that Porcupine Tree album!

[dawg]

28. I love it too.

It would be five stars out of five if only it didn't drag a little in the middle. With a little trimming, this could have been an all-time classic!

[Initech]

29. Steve Wilson doesn't do that sort of thing.

[freshwest]

8. Todd Rundgren and Robert Plant

[Initech]

9. Symphony X's new double album Iconoclast gets a lot of play for me.

2 discs, 12 tracks, 1:45 in length and not a dull moment... one of the best of the decade as far as I'm concerned.

The new Dream Theater, Beastie Boys, Jane's Addiction, and Foo Fighters are also in heavy rotation.

[cliffordu]

11. Little Feat, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, the Stones,

Cake, Amy Winehouse, Concrete Blonde, Tom Waites, Frank Zappa, Joe Pass, Buddy Fite, Ray La Montagne .......

Everything I can get my ears around.

[av8rdave]

12. Mumford and Sons, and for some reason a lot of old Talking Heads lately

[bif]

13. The Dead Texan

Check them out on my blog. In spite of the name, it's some very pretty music.

15. Today I was listening to Grammy nominated artists...

...as part of the voting process.

It was down to the wire to get the final ballot in, which I did this afternoon.

So, I listened to (and continue to listen to) a bunch of the nominees, to name a few: Yeah, Lady Gaga, along with Foster the People; Death Cab For Cutie; Radiohead; Mumford & Sons; Foo Fighters; Kings of Leon; Skrillex - who are up for several awards, including Best New Artist.

And in the Americana category, upstart Linda Chorney, with her CD "Emotional Jukebox." She's a totally self-produced and self-released, "unknown" indie artist, check her out.

Also nominated in Americana, these other known unknowns you may have heard or not heard of: Ry Cooder, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris and Levon Helm.

The Grammys are not as BigCorporately-controlled as they maybe used to be, IMO. They are definitely not as staid and backward as they were when I became a member 20 years ago.

NARAS now has their own social networking site, Grammy365.com, where members may promote their music and gain support during the whole nominating and voting process. If you're not a member, you may check out the necessary qualifications for joining, and join, if you meet the criteria.

It's not that big of a deal - if you are a serious musician with published music, stuff that's been released and offered for sale to the general public through, something like CDBaby.com, you may qualify for membership.

Disclaimer: If it sounds like I work for NARAS, be assured I do not, I just want more indie artist representation amongst the voting membership.

[Vanje]

16. GreenDay , The Offspring, Butthole Surfers...........like that

[bigwillq]

17. Swedish House Mafia

"Save the World"
Song and video are awesome

&ob=av2n




"The Antidote"

[Populist_Prole]

18. Early Ramones stuff

I get on binges for a particular band and then those CD's get on the regular playlist again. Always like the Ramones.

[murielm99]

19. Lots of B.B. King, and some Imelda May. nt

[MGKrebs]

26. Just recently discovered Imelda May. Great stuff!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

20. The Rolling Stones' "official" release of the Mick Taylor-era "Brussels Affair" bootleg...

...and it no longer sounds like a "bootleg." The sound might even be cleaner than "Get Yer Ya Yas Out."

Brutal...especially "Midnight Rambler."

21. Thea Gilmore singing lyrics by Sandy Denny

The album is called "Don't stop singing". Sandy's family had some of Sandy's lyrics kicking around but no music to accompany them. They looked around and finally selected Thea. who added the music and vocals. Excellent stuff.

Other stuff: Tull, Waits, McKennitt and Joni Mitchell. Waiting for the new Kate Bush.

[GermanDem]

22. No escaping Gaga

my daughter is a huge fan - but I have to say, Gaga has really grown on me. I like her a lot, plus I love her message about loving yourself, and about tolerance.

Adele - not so much. Every time I hear her now I think "Girl, now get over it, stop whining. and move on!" But she's a great artist, no question.

By the way, the new Coldplay album is awesome, imo, could listen to it all day long!

[bigwillq]

34. That's the same way I feel about Adele.

[EnviroBat]

23. Van der Graff Generator

Prog rock from the 60's-70's. Trippy stuff if you're into that kind of thing...

[kaitcat]

24. I love threads like these.

Pink Floyd Animals
Marillion Misplaced Childhood
Lake of Tears
Nightwish
RPWL -- started as a Pink Floyd cover band

Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster -- my 67-year-old mom requested it for Christmas and takes it everywhere we go.

[EnviroBat]

25. Oh, and I discovered a dude named Jonathan Wilson.

And an album titled "Gentle Spirit". Prepare to have your mind blowed...

[MGKrebs]

27. Lot's of surf type stuff lately.

The Torquays, The Penetrators, Dick Dale of course, Ventures, The Aqua Velvets, mix in some Southern Culture on the Skids.
I like reverb.

[Archae]

30. Pandora's AC/DC channel.

"Rock and Roll" by Led Zeppelin is on right now.

[Denninmi]

31. I bought 'Torches' by Foster the People.

For some reason, a couple of the Canadian alternative rock stations that come in here in the Detroit area have been playing a lot of their songs, not just the one track, 'Pumped Up Kicks' that was a minor hit on US radio over the summer. It's rather amusing, because the Canadian stations bleep some of the words that are kind of essential, such as "gun" and "bullet" in Pumped Up Kicks, or "knife" in "Call It What You Want." On Canadian airwaves, you can discuss sex and use profanity, but violent imagery is banned (take a lesson from this us, US!).

I've enjoyed the album. I've also seen the band on a few programs, like SNL and Letterman, and at least they're something different to listen to. Popular music is really in a dry spell these days, IMHO.

[BrendaBrick]

32. Pandora.com has opened up a whole new new venue for me

though I've maxed it out at 100 stations already!

Most recently:

Talking Heads:

Cabaret Voltaire:

(thanks to a feller DUer here who turned me on to this classic!)

Whoa - like ~ REALLY ahead of their time, no?

Lastly, SRV - Wall Of Denial:

Wall of Denial....Timeless...and don't get me EVEN STARTED about global warming already insomuch as DENIAL is concerned!!!!

Oi! Denial will be the end all of us all if we don't get with the 'program already!"...and like...PRONTO and like...YESTERDAY WAS LIKE - TOO LATE ALREADY!!!!

ALL of us are like....living on borrowed time - FOR REAL!

Be mindful of what you do to this fragile mother earth or ours - like - right now. Your grandchildren depend on it ~

Be mindful people. Be very, very mindful...and change your ways - or like - or else ~ won't be an Earth left to sustain us.

Hate to be the bearer of 'bad news' - but hey!

It IS what it is...
