What music have you put on this weekend?

[mvd]

I'm still listening to the CDs I got for Christmas: today I heard Saving Jane - Girl Next Door, Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It So Much Better, and Julie Gribble - So Typical. Got great CDs.

Also heard some songs from Morningwood. Loved them! Some critics have it wrong by calling them contrived. The lead singer exudes sexuality but not in a Britney way, and the music isn't mannered. Any less slick and the music wouldn't be a good fit for the songs. Morningwood sounds much better than the acclaimed Yeah Yeah Yeahs IMO. I'll likely be getting their CD on Jan. 10th.

What are you listening to?

1. Tons of different stuff.

I've been using my iPod Shuffle at the gym. :)

I haven't bought any new stuff in a while.

[mvd]

3. Hi, GOPisEvil!

Julie Gribble is kind of alt-countryish, and I think you might like her. Like Stacie Rose, another recent favorite of mine, she mixes a touch of country with rootsy (but hooky) rock and folk.

5. I'm playing on iTunes tonight. Maybe I'll check her out.

Thanks.

10. Kate Bush :Arial and Fiona Apple: Extrarodinary Machine

With a little NIN, Talking Heads abd Dar Beida to mix it it up. And always Negativland - "I Am God " and all of "Helter Stupid"


Khash.

[mvd]

14. What's your favorite CD of Kate's Aerial?

I've only heard the first CD, and it's good. IMO it beats Fiona's effort.

Night, all! Happy listening. :hi:

[khashka]

19. A Sky of Honey

A Sea of Honey has some great songs but A Sky of Honey? The more I listen the better it gets. Who but Kate could pull this off? Duets with birds? Are you crazy? But she does it! The story of one woman's day. And her appreciation of it, Incredibly sensual.

But on the first CD? Singing Pi to over a hundred decimal places! And it doesn't come across as a stunt so much as a love song.

11. Lots of stuff.

Yesterday, listened to some Link Wray and Peter Apfelbaum (jazz).

Today, I listened to Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" and John Coltrane's "My Favorite Things," and right now, I'm listening to Modern Jazz Quartet's "Django."

[liberaltrucker]

12. Nostalgia weekend for me

Buffett, Pink Floyd, Boston, etc. Oops, just showed my age:blush:

[ghostsofgiants]

13. I picked up a few CDs at the beginning of the week...

City and Colour - "Sometimes"
Death From Above 1979 - "You're a Woman, I'm a Machine"
Protest The Hero - "Kezia"
Thrice - "Vheissu"

So I've been listening to those.

15. Clutch: Blast Tyrant

had it on continuous loop on my trucks CD player since DEC 27th.

groove is not a strong enough word.....rut sounds too negative...trench is close, funky is too glib.

i'm thinking the only way to describe it is: thunk.

yes, Blast Tyrant is thunky.




BTW: Are we being snobbish?

[mvd]

17. Oh no, not the snob thing again

As a mod, I stayed out of that one the other night. LOL

I don't care about how snobby the choices are here - I just like seeing what's being listened to. :hi:

[ragin_acadian]

22. yeah, just kidding.

these threads are great: i go look at what everyone else is listening too, and maybe expand my horizons.

unfortunately i can't listen to anything right now (dialup) - but i would like to check out Saving Jane!

the "snobby thing" is kinda funny, huh? sometimes you can pet the sharks, sometimes you end up with a stump.

[DS1]

16. Forrest Gump and the Afterschool Runners

:D

[PittPoliSci]

18. DREAM THEATER!

[CatholicEdHead]

20. Lots of Megadeth

[ragin_acadian]

23. old, new, or all of the above?

once in a man's life, he must choose between metallica, and Megadeth.


you have chosen wisely.

[AntiCoup2K4]

21. Listened to a lot of early 70's stuff earlier today

Elton John, Three Dog Night, Bowie, to name a few. Right now I'm listening to some Stones bootlegs from the "Some Girls" era.
