What are you listening to?

[hippywife]

I turned on the local public radio's classical station this morning for a nice change of pace. It seems to lift my spirits this time of year. :hi:

[tigereye]

1. all my Christmas jazz, medieval and other Christmas stuff

now i have to head out to do some more shopping

:hi:

[HopeHoops]

2. We usually don't have music or anything else on - just what silence can be had.

My middle daughter is the exception. She keeps a classic rock station on almost 24x7 (and sometimes ACTUALLY 24x7), but she keeps her door closed most of the time. It is a little freaky that she knows the songs I grew up with better than I do.

[Mojambo]

3. A never ending stream of some of the most wretched Christmas music you could ever hear.

Yes, I'm in a mall.

Lots of really thick Christian songs too.

Ugh.

[azmouse]

4. Barry Manilow

Just kidding!


Right now I'm listening to myself hack up a lung. I've got a bad cold and I can't seem to stop coughing. :(

[hippywife]

6. So sorry you are sick, mouse.

[Dr. Strange]

5. A Trans-Siberian Orchestra radio stream.

[sixmile]

7. Eddie 'Flashin" Fowlkes and similar on Lastfm

If you've never tried I highly recommend for ambient soundscape.

[hippywife]

8. Now I'm listening to

Holst's The Planets over at youtube. :hi:

[seemunkee]

9. Clock ticking, fireplace crackling.

My wife fell asleep in front of the fire, I don't want to disturb her.

[sakabatou]

10. The Seatbelts

[bbernardini]

11. A little of this, a little of that. (Brief list inside)

Stuff I'm converting to put on my iPod:

Anvil
Porcupine Tree
Rock Instrumental Classics Vol. 3 & 4 (The Seventies and Soul, respectively)

[bif]

12. A Hawk and a Hacksaw

Just discovered these guys. Very cool Gypsy influenced group.

[av8rdave]

13. Thr traffic just outside of my window in Guayaquil

There's a Mi Jugueteria (Toys R Us) right across the street. You can imagine how crazy that is today.

[Systematic Chaos]

14. The "Blue Sky Mining" album by Midnight Oil, currently.

[Forkboy]

15. My Dad Is Dead - A New Clear Route

[EastTennesseeDem]

16. "Funeral" by Arcade Fire

[Tikki]

17. I found the Red Cross (REDD KROSS) the first EP online...

18. A great Houston group

called The Tontons. They don't have much in the way of youtube videos but they are definitely worth digging into their music.


"Dancing"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6OhAm3_T3k


"Kaleidoscope" in another of my Tonton favorites. :hi:

[Tikki]

19. Nice....I like that sound...n/t

[AllenVanAllen]

28. Cool.

You can hear more of their stuff here: http://www.myspace.com/thetontons :hi:

20. last thing before my just-ended nap...our own lightningandsnow singing on you tube

She posted earlier today asking if anyone wanted to hear her sing. I listened to all three songs. A Dar Williams one accompanying herself on mandolin that wasn't recorded as well as the other two where she's actually performing in front of people apparently . On guitar doing a Beyonce song and a Jill Sobule one. She has a very nice voice. If any of you find her post, give her a listen.

Other than that, it's silent in my home ,but soon will be listening to the sounds of NFL football on the TV's in my gym.

[hippywife]

22. Howdy, abq!

I was listening a little while ago to All Things Considered on NPR. There was a music segment that made me nauseous. :eyes:

:hi:

[abq e streeter]

23. Howdy Hippywife....now listening to some rockabilly to wake me up for the gym

Paul Burlison , who was the guitar player (along with Grady Martin) of the legendary Johnny Burnette's Rock and Roll Trio. A great remake of Train Kept a-Rollin' ( "we made a stop, in Albuquerque", always love to hear Abq immortalized in song) with Johnny's son Rocky doing a vocal that's that's amazingly close to what his dad sounded like.

p.s. what was the music that made you nauseous? ( may not read your reply for awhile; I'll be out the door in about 3 minutes)

p.s. part two--I hope some others here find lightningandsnow's post and check her out.

[cynatnite]

21. On one of our HD channels, Bon Jovi is doing a concernt...

good stuff!

[RushIsRot]

24. I'm listening to my dog Rascal's contented snores as he sleeps beside me.

[femmocrat]

25. The Senate "debate" on the health care bill.

:boring:

[Kali]

26. Tabasco Road

Cajun/Zydeco show for about 10 more minutes then Rock Around the World, a surf/rockabilly kind of show, only tonight it will be his x-mas show - should be some odd obscure stuff on there. He has a pretty wild collection of rockabilly from all over the world.

[Inspired]

27. I'm listening to Muse.

[Skip Intro]

29. Slayer - Haunting the Chapel nt

[Capn Sunshine]

30. Harry fucking Reid

they're getting ready to vote right NOW

[SoxFan]

31. Jason & the Scorchers-Still Standing

Better than I remembered. It's a bit bombastic and overproduced in places, but there are some real gems that take advantage of Jason Ringenberg's high, lonesome vocals.
