What music have you started out the week listening to?

[mvd]

I heard these great CDs yesterday and today-

Veronicas - Secret Life Of
Rosanne Cash - Black Cadillac
Halo Friendlies - Get Real

Also:

Bought a couple more songs from KT Tunstall. I don't like the bluesy songs from her (with the exception of "Suddenly I See") as much. I like her more ever since I heard more than "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" and "Miniature Disasters," though. Album gets a B, as it's still uneven IMO - but with some excellent moments.)

Heard Josh Turner, who has generated a lot of buzz. Has an appealingly deep voice, but he lacks good material at this point.

And checked out Lucy Walsh, who I didn't expect to like since she's associated with Ashlee Simpson (I love pop/rock, but Ashlee, Hilary Duff, and Lindsay Lohan are kind of the McDonalds of the genre.) But I did enjoy what I heard.

1. One of my friends got me "Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits"

for my birthday, so that's what's been on. :hi:

[Ariana Celeste]

5. I've been listening to that a lot for the last week

:hi:

A friend of mine brought it over and put it on my pc, and I've never really heard much Dylan in the past aside from what was on the radio. I'm lovin it!

[deadparrot]

9. I'm definitely loving it, too.

:bounce:

:toast:

[mvd]

6. That's a great birthday gift!

:hi:

I finally ordered The Corrs' Home (was way overdue as a Corrs fan,) so that will be next when the CD arrives.

[deadparrot]

12. It is indeed.

I love the Corrs--I used to be an Irish dancer, and my parents and their friends were always big St. Patty's Day people, so the Irish elements of the songs always bring me back to my childhood. Enjoy! :D

2. That @#$%& guitar riff on Air America

I understand the reason for it, but it's getting to the point where I want to puncture my own eardrums with chopsticks.

[tjwmason]

3. A fair variety.

First thing that I put on (as opposed to radio) was the Brandenburg Concerti.

Then I had the Shostakovich piano concerti,
Some late renaissance Venetian music,
Tallis English anthems,
At the moment we're on Dialogues des Carmelites by Poulenc.

[bbernardini]

4. Spock's Beard, Kool & The Gang, Live Aid

From Live Aid, so far the end of the Dire Straits set, part of George Thorogood, and I'm watching Queen's set right now.

7. The Viking Kitten song.

I think some band called Lead Zeplin sings it.

:D

8. Metric and Hank Williams

Metric is a British band (I think) that I recently discovered from their appearance on the Conan O'Brien show. Great band.

And Hank...he just seemed to fit my life at the moment.

[Omphaloskepsis]

11. Metric is from Canada.

I think

I'm to lazy to check.

[Radical Activist]

13. Me too

but if they're from Canada I'll have to burn their CD!

[mvd]

18. I also discovered Metric

Good band. I especially like the song Monster Hospital, with its "I fought the war but the war won."

[bif]

10. Bill Frisell

And Trespassers William

[Left Is Write]

14. KC & The Sunshine Band, Kool & The Gang, and ELO

I guess it was a 70s kick this morning.

[av8rdave]

15. Stevie Ray Vaughn as loud as I can take it

n/t

[Metta]

16. Mendelssohn Piano Trios and acoustic country blues.

Ernie Hawkins, great fingerstyle bluesman. :thumbsup:

[Book Lover]

17. Motorhead, Iggy, The Shatners

It's been a mix kinda day...

[bikebloke]

19. Kaiser Chiefs

I just discovered them. A bit better than Franz Ferdinand, by my tastes.

[mikeytherat]

20. I'm cranking "Squib Cakes" by Tower of Power right now!

Gotta learn this tune for an upcoming gig.

21. Tonight

I took out Donna Lewis's Now In A Minute. Many will remember "I Love You Always Forever," but the whole album is great! Mixes 80-style keyboard with some folk sounds and even a bit of modern rock.

[PittPoliSci]

22. Behemoth and Thrice

varied, yes...

[Chovexani]

23. I'm listening to The Killers

A friend of mine got me hooked on them.

[last_texas_dem]

24. A few

I did a lot of driving this weekend so I got to listen to a few of my favorites: The Best of the Gin Blossoms, Golden Smog's Weird Tales, The Jayhawks' Tomorrow the Green Grass, and The Best of the Smithereens. I've also been listening to a double-CD Kinks' hits collection one of my friends burned for me and am currently listening to the psychedelic group The Blues Magoos' debut LP.
