What music are you listening to today?

[mvd]

I have the New Releases stream from AOL Music on - and am listening to Kina Grannis's Stairwells. This stuff is right up my alley - it is excellent! Reminds me of Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton, both of whom I'm a fan of - she's a better singer than Vanessa, though. Her music has a lot of acoustics and raw emotion.

1. I get on kicks - a few months ago all I was listening to was early Pretenders...

I have a thing for James Honeyman Scott, and his jingly jangly Rickenbacker peal the paint off the wall guitar solos.

Past six days, it's been all Talking Heads.

I don't know why...

[ChoralScholar]

2. I'm teaching Sonata-Allegro form

in Music History class today - I've listened to the 4th movement of Mozart's K.550 in great detail today - so it's in my head.

[geardaddy]

3. A playlist of the following bands/artists

Steve Earle
Mumford and Sons
The Ramones
Bob Marley and the Wailers
Patti Smith
Talking Heads

[mvd]

[Bossy Monkey]

5. Nirvana n/t

[kentauros]

6. Burhan Ocal and Jamaladeen Tacuma - Groove Alla Turca

It's kind of jazzy, in a Turkish way :)

[sakabatou]

7. The Seatbelts

[blue_onyx]

9. Britney "Femme Fatale"

Her new CD is great. Stand outs are: "I Wanna Go," "Criminal," "How I Roll," and the bonus song on Deluxe version "Selfish."

Been listening some older songs too like Mandy Moore "Crush," and "Something Kinda Ooooh," Girls Aloud.

[Lindsey]

10. Nirvana -on this 17th anniversary of Kurt's passing on. n/t

[bigwillq]

11. Love the new CD.

My faves are "I Wanna Go", "How I Roll", and "Inside Out"

:hi:

[blue_onyx]

13. I like "Inside Out" too

I have a feeling it might be a single.

There's not really a bad song on the CD. Not a big fan of "Big Fat Bass," but don't hate it either. The beat is cool but I don't love the song as a whole.

[bigwillq]

14. You nailed it on BFB

I thought that would be the song I would like the most since it featured will-i-am. Britney-Will, together. Was looking forward to the pairing, and I thought it would have a sick beat.
The beat is ok, so are the lyrics, but it could've been a much better song.

[mvd]

18. I agree

Best CD of Britney's career. "Big Fat Bass" is the only song I don't care for. The CD has those electro-beats, but this time with a good deal of pop sensability.

[Taverner]

25. Does she actually cover the Velvet Undeground song?

[blue_onyx]

28. What song?

Not familiar with Velvet Underground. I'm pretty sure there are no covers on the CD. All new songs.

[Taverner]

30. "Femme Fatale"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8IV6lJSm1c

It's a classic

[bigwillq]

35. No

That's not one of the songs.

[bigwillq]

[Initech]

17. Got a couple new ones:

Daniel Tosh - Happy Thoughts - I am a huge fan of Tosh.0, and this CD certainly doesn't disappoint.

Blackfield - Welcome To My DNA - Not as good as the first two, but I'll pretty much buy anything Steven Wilson releases.

The Strokes - Angles - I heard this at a friend's house and downloaded it off iTunes the next day. Great album.

Radiohead - The King Of Limbs - I'm a big Radiohead fan but I don't get where they're going with this album.

[Richardo]

20. A variety of Handel

I agree with yellowdogintexas - great work music.

[BarenakedLady]
