Lets talk music, what are you listening to at this moment?

[aquaman]

Me, I am listening to 16 Horsepower, Sackcloth 'N' Ashes. I am obsessed with this band.

[RandomKoolzip]

1. On the way home I was listening to "Isolation Drills" by Guided by Voices.

Right now, though, I'm listening to The Grateful Dead at Trooper's Hall in LA, 3-25-66. Great set.

After that, I'll probably put on some Souixante Etages.

[aquaman]

2. Ahhh,

Guided By Voices, I have seen that band many times.

[enigmatic]

4. me too..

I lived in Coulumbus for a number of years and they would come up to play regularly at Statche's; great guys..

[aquaman]

10. Columbus Ohio I assume.......

My brother lives there and my wife and I go up at least twice a year. Cool town.

[enigmatic]

11. Yep!

It is, fantastic music scene 9at least when I was there) and everybody com,es through there to play eventually..

[goodboy]

72. I'm in Columbus too...email me when you come, I'll take you all

out to dinner.

[gmoney]

77. Goodboy Columbus?

I just watched that movie this morning. Goodbye Columbus... Ali McGraw at about 20 ...sigh.

I used to live there for about 5 years myself, 83-89, the golden age of the Columbus music scene. Royal Crescent Mob, Scrawl, Great Plains, and the original Stache's.

[goodboy]

86. there is still a wealth of great music here...Maybe we can see

Bobby Floyd, or tony Monaco...who knows.

[enigmatic]

3. Personally....

Richmond Fontaine, mostly...




But I just started my overnight radio show, so whatever I'm playing at the moment..

[aquaman]

5. I have two of their cd's...

Safety and Lost son. Not many people know of this band.

[enigmatic]

13. my favorite band right now, bar none...

My overnight show did a RF marathon a month ago, playing all the CD's and the "Whisky, Painkillers, And Speed" live EP. Willy's a great guy, and other then Richard Buckner, the best songwriter alive IMO.

I've got "4 Hours Out" (my favorite song of theirs), "Safety", and "Northline" in tonight's rotation; I'm trying to spread the word as much as I can...

[aquaman]

15. What other bands are you listening to.....?

I love suggestions as I am quite a music fanatic!

[enigmatic]

17. What a question!

If you like RF, I assume you like the whole alt-country thing; here's a few suggestions:

Old Reliable (from Edmonton, Alberta)

http://www.oldreliableband.com/temp/

Wil Oldham/Palace/Palace Songs/Bonnie Prince Billy

The Silos

Richard Buckner

Corb Lund Band (also from Edmonton; I live here now)

Alejandro Escovedo

That's just for starters; let me think on this...

PS; "Evergreen Powerline" by RF is playing right now in my show!

[bloodyjack]

18. Will Oldham is one of the best songwriters of our time

And I think history will acknowledge him as such

I'll throw in a couple more suggestions myself:

SMOG

The Silver Jews

[enigmatic]

20. I love Wil...

"You Will Miss Me When I Burn" is one of my favorite songs to play (and play on guitar). I love Johnny Cash's version of "I See A Darkness", too; Wil's harmonies were perfect...

"Ohio River Boat Song", too; I've got that and "New Partner" in the roation of my show tonight..

[aquaman]

22. is your radio show online????

[enigmatic]

24. Yep!

Here's the link:

http://www.radioenigma.com

[aquaman]

29. Cool website....

I am attempting to listen to it, I am on dial up as we live in the sticks. So, it will take some time.

[enigmatic]

31. thanks, bro...

If you go to the links page Jim Clark and "The Near Myths" are from Wilson, SC, so they are a holler away from you..

[bloodyjack]

23. Is this off the Greatest Palace Music 'covers' record or the proper albums

"NEW PARTNER" is the most beautiful ode to masturbation I've ever heard, aside from "She bop"

[enigmatic]

26. I've got both in the rotation right now..

I know "greatest palace Music" is an either/or love/hate thing with fans, but some (not all) of the versions really work w/ the countrypolitian sound...

[bloodyjack]

32. I don't mind it, really

I like the Nashvill-ized "No more workhorse blues"

But "I send my love to you" would be perfectly unlistenable were it not for that "quack quack!" oddly placed in the middle of it

But I like what the session musicians did to "Gulf shores" and "Riding"

On the whole, it's really not a bad collection of songs at all

Have you heard SUPERWOLF yet?

[enigmatic]

34. I love both the "Gulf Shores" and "West Palm Beach" versions, too..

I haven't yet; I'm hoping my wife has picked up on my hints for Xmas on adding to my CD collection.

How is it?

[bloodyjack]

53. The first song is pretty dope

Generally, it's a lot more lyrics-intensive, less repetitive than "Master & everyone" but I think I prefer the sparseness & resignation of the latter (or, more enthusiastically, "Get on jolly") to the...uh..."fluffiness" or insubstantiality of Superwolf.

[aquaman]

21. VIVA LAST BLUES

Is one of my favs by Wil. I saw him play in Athens GA at a friends house. What a show that was.

[enigmatic]

28. you lived in Athens?

I lived there from 88-91...

[aquaman]

30. Not technically ,,

I spent every weekend there though throughout the 1990's. My best friend is the singer for Elf Power, an Athens band.

[enigmatic]

33. I've heard of them!

Is Laura Carter still w/ them? I knew her a bit when she was the singer of The BBQ Killers; ran around in kinda the same places...

[aquaman]

35. Yes she is!!

She did not go on their recent tour because a tree fell on her house and she had to play clean-up.

[enigmatic]

37. Wow, small world....

This is one of the great things I love about DU!

Sorry about her house, though; I hope everything's ok. Tell her (and your friend) I'll put couple Elf power sonmgs on the rotation tomorrow night; what do you suggest?

[aquaman]

46. Anything on this album, my favorite by far.............

[enigmatic]

48. You got it.

I'd love to put a link to their site (if they have one) up on my links page; run it by them and have them e me if it's ok!

[aquaman]

52. Here you go....

http://www.elfpower.com/

They would appreciate it, I'll tell them later.

[enigmatic]

55. Right on...

I'll have it up within 24 hours...

[aquaman]

60. Laura Carter

I just realized that we are talking about two different Laura Carters. There is a Laura Carter in Elf Power, but there was also another Laura Carter who lived in Athens, GA and was the singer for the BBQ Killers. She passed away a few years ago. See the following post on the Matador website after her death:

DEATH IS NOT NICE DEPT. :
The recent untimely deaths of Joe Strummer and Jam Master Jay have been noted far and wide and both musical visionaries have been justly hailed & eulogized in manners befitting their contributions. But contributions made on a scale not-quite-as-global aren't any less meaningful. So with that in mind, let's have a moment of consideration of 2 for the late Laura Carter, formerly of Athens, GA's Bar-b-q Killers and later on, Radial Recording artists Jackonuts. Carter, one of the most compelling live performers and inspirational characters I've had the privilege to know, passed away in December. Laura was the real deal in ways that her records didn't adequately showcase; it truly sucks that we don't have access to a time travel machine because a Jackonuts gig would really hit the spot right about now.

[enigmatic]

61. Wow...

Man, I can't believe this! This is very, very sad; thanks for posting this.

[aquaman]

63. you are welcome....

You are my new best friend, hope you don't mind.

[enigmatic]

64. As long as you buy the beer!

thanks again:)

[aquaman]

65. what beer do you like????

I am still listening to John Denver, makes me want to go in my back yard and hug a tree.

[enigmatic]

67. Up here? Molson Canadian....

When I lived in the US, Mickey's Big Mouth Malt Liquor...

[Wolfman 11]

6. "Drifting"

PJ Lost Dogs

it is soothing in a wy.

[NYC Liberal]

7. Keys clicking.

I don't have anything on at the moment...any suggestions?

[aquaman]

12. What type of music do you like NYC Liberal?

[NYC Liberal]

14. Mostly anything.

I listen to just about any type.

[aquaman]

16. Well I am in a dark mood tonight...........

So my suggestions would be 16 Horsepower, Calexico, and the soundtrack for the movie Dream With the Fishes.

[enigmatic]

19. Calexico is awesome stuff...

I've seen them live w/ a Mariachi band, and it was amazing. Like them better on their then w/ Howe Gelb, too...

[warrens]

90. Got their live DVD for my daughter for Xmas

We saw them this summer in Lincoln Park, with the Waco Bros. Man, what a show. I saw them a long time ago when they were still a spin-off band, and they were good, but not great. This time, they just ruled. That was the kid's first exposure to arty type rock and she hasn't looked back.

[tamtam]

8. Green Day

I am listening to the new Green Day CD. I cannot take this CD out of my CD player. I have been a Green Day fan from the get go, but this Green Day CD is the best so far.

[FuzzySlippers]

9. Jean-Pierre Rampal

[babylonsister]

94. Love those Suites for Jazz Flute & Piano, with

Claude Bolling and JPR!

[aquaman]

25. I am listening to Fugazi now......

Whenever I listen to this band I feel like fighting and I am a passive man.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

27. B-Tribe

Suave Suave

The most incredible Spanish Guitar work!

[fnottr]

36. Megadeth

[Seabiscuit]

38. The Japanese girl band from Kill Bill Vol. I:

"woo hoo, woo hoo hoo
woo hoo, woo hoo hoo
woo hoo, woo hoo hoo
woo hoo, woo hoo hoo
woo hoo
woo hoo
woo hoo, woo hoo hoo"

ARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!! My wife's watching the movie in another room and that song is driving me friggin' nuts!

[Bouncy Ball]

41. I LOVE that song! LOL! I burned it to a CD!

[Seabiscuit]

44. Imagine having to drive for ten hours, you forgot your CD's, and there's

nothing on any radio station but that song.

Would you keep the radio on?

[Bouncy Ball]

50. Ooo no.

[Skittles]

39. AMERICAN IDIOT

Green Day

[Bouncy Ball]

40. John Denver.

Don't throw things at me.

[aquaman]

42. I love john denver.......

Don't be ashamed!

[Bouncy Ball]

43. Ah, thanks.

I fell in love with his music as a kid. It was very comforting to me. It was like he was singing lullabies. My stepfather loved his albums and would play them on the stereo in the living room, so I'd fall asleep in my room with the door wide open so I could hear the faint strain of his voice....

[enigmatic]

45. 'Take Me Home, Country Roads" was the very first single I ever bought..

Drove my ollder brothers insane playing it on my little record player. Still love it..

[aquaman]

47. I am listening to that song now...........

john Denver has one of the best voices ever.

[Bouncy Ball]

54. This one kills me every time

You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,
like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain,
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.

Come let me love you, let me give my life to you,
let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms,
let me lay down beside you, let me always be with you.
Come let me love you, come love me again.

You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,
like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain,
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.

[aquaman]

56. WOW,

I am listening to that song now, it is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[Bouncy Ball]

58. Yep

it reduces me to tears. It's just so simple and beautiful and his voice......ahhhh, his voice.

[Lone Pawn]

96. SMiLE - Brian Wilson

eom

[joebascemy]

97. If it is not on the radio

I'm listening to it.

It isn't that I just like esoteric stuff or want to be a snob about it. The bigtime has its megaphone two inches from my head most of the day where I work (the bluest collar). My coworkers have to stay plugged in to the current commerce or they'd think they were getting too weird, in need of therapy, or something. so I steal away when I can to listen to Doug Wamble, Joe Louis Walker, the Shins, the Donnas, Nat King Cole Trio, or Masters of Reality( the defunct group; I hate BS). I like soul music, so Anthony Hamilton is in my cd player, along with Curtis Salgado and James Carr. It's a shame what the Blues Brothers did to that genre--was that self mockery, or the racist side of irony? anyway their so-called revival embalmed the stuff, and it is only now beginning to recover from a bad case of the Retro's. So there is hope, I guess.

[mark414]

98. basement JAXX

99. "O Little Town of Bethlehem" to the tune of "House of the Rising
