What is it I'm listening to?
 

Ohhh oohhh..

That's Masanori Ikeda "Theme from Lupin the 3rd"

What are you listening to?

Within the last couple of days:

Aimee Mann's new album.

Tilly and the Wall.

The Ramones.

Hmmm. Just moments ago I went back to a recent, but dull addiction - the most recent ColdPlay.

However, I've recently been listening to Apollo 440, The Go-Betweens, Stereo Total, and Corneloius.

Lots of Grateful Dead. :)

(I just got a gig playing in a Grateful Dead tribute band)

Boz Scaggs, Silk Degrees. On cassette.

What, your 8-track died? ;)

Judge Judy on the telly. While I work on my torts outline.

It seemed appropriate background noise.

My car, silly.

I have amassed an amazing assortment of 70s cassettes to accessorize my badass wheels. I even have the Superfly OST.

Kasabian. My sister-in-law forced the CD on us, and she was right, it's good.

AND, their song L.S.F. has sounds in it similar to the Electrical Parade bee! :snap:

Wait a second, you asked a question and then answered it before anybody had a chance to guess.

I was going to guess, the theme from "Frasier"

I'm about to take a much-needed bath, so I'm now listening to Gang of Four's 1st album - Entertainment [the remaster]. Boy, it is STILL great!

Chi Lites - Oh Girl (gets me every time)

The Real Tuesday Weld - I, Lucifer

My! What good taste you have! ;)

Chicago & earth wind and Fire Live at the Greek theatre DVD. ;)

I have been listening to Suicide. I got one of thier CD's of of Amazon and I can't stop listening. I love the raw punk rock sound that they have even though it was all made by analog synths! It has actully gotten me writing music again!

OMG! Suicide! Alan Vega and Martin Rev. (How is it I remember this crap?)

I only have vinly. Is a CD available now?

I've been listening to Readymade Digs Disney - cool mixes and remixes of classic and odd Disney tunes. Readymade is Yasuharu Konishi from Pizzacato 5. And it all comes back again to Disney and Japan. ;)

Todd Rundgren - Something, Anything

Yeah they do have CD's out, just check amazon. The album I got is called first album the others one just called just called suicide and then A way of life! I am going to get the other 2 and then go on ebay (when I have more money) and try to get some vinyl. I was not kidding I can't stop listening to these guys, its really great stuff. I wish I had heard about these guys sooner, oh well. ;)

Wow, Suicide! I loved those guys. When I was in high school, I remember tearing out a full-page ad from New York Rocker and sticking it on my wall. It said, "Join those who feel that Suicide is A Way of Life." My dad really loved that one.
Years later (in 1989, I believe), I saw them play a reunion show at the Ritz. They were the last band to play in a roster of Wax Trax bands. While half of the audience cleared out, Suicide still rocked.
Thanks for reminding me about Alan and Martin... I'm going to go pick up a CD or 2 this week.

I went on a small CD binge the other day. I cam report that I am in LOVE with all 4 of the CD's I purchased. Some I have in vinyl still, others are new, all are great. The selection includes:

The Knitters "The Modern Sounds Of......." 2nd album (after 20 years between the first) from member of X and The Blasters.
The Slits "Cut" Early English gilr punk band that STILL sounds great.
N.Y No Wave "The Ultimate East Village 80's Soundtrack"
Memphis Minnie "In my Girlish Days" This was a John Doe recommendation and I love it.

I also found a GREAT site for odd music called Oddio Overplay thanks to Modern Folly. I have downloaded all of the Kresge Department Stare Soundtrack and, Like MF, am now dancing around my house (to the amusement of the cats).

THE SLITS!!

Were you inspired by Saturday night?

Alas, I am not listening to much at all with the iPod being down, and the hard drive being jacked up...

Signed,

Sad

Yeah. I knew the first album had been released on CD but hadn't picked it up yet. Then, after Sunday night, I HAD to go shopping. HAD to.

Meanwhile, I really need to watch my driving when I'm listening to "Grapevine". ;)

Hehehe...

I need to buy music.

I miss music.

I am listening to:

The New Pornographers Twin Cinema
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists (yeah I get to see them tomorrow!)
and of course some Death Cab.

I'm listening to Shriekback's "Tench." Ah, fond memories of dancing on a tabletop and yelling for them to play "Hubris." :blush:

Did you hear what the Greatful Dead groupie said when he ran out of drugs?

Oh, and what am I listening to?

Well actually I'm now listing to everything you all mentioned above (except judge Judy). Based on that experience I would just like to say: Some of you scare me on a very deep and emotional level.

Now, I'm DYING to know what scared you. (I sort of hope it was me :evil: )

Heh, I'll never tell.... ;)

This week I'm on a tindersticks binge... haven't picked up the new solo cd from the lead singer... should probably hit amoeba today.

I think we're going to hit Amoeba on Saturday. Bad news!

I'll send you another postcard. ;)

I'm listening to the demo version of "This Is Halloween" - It's pretty cool hearing Danny Elfman singing the whole thing...

I just got an AMAZING collection of 100+ mp3s of different Oingo Boingo stuff including live shows and unreleased remixes/demos...

Death Cab for Cutie's latest CD "Plans".

It's sooooo frigging good.

Today, however, I'm taking a trip back through Death Cab's vault and really loving "The Sound of Settling"

I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots; that my tongue is tied off
My brain's repeating if you've got an impulse, LET IT OUT!
but they never make it past my mouth

(Bop Ba...) This is the sound of settling (Bop Ba, bop ba...)
(Bop Ba...) This is the sound of settling (Bop Ba, bop ba...)

Our youth is fleeting, old age is just around the bend and I can't wait to go gray
And I'll sit an wonder of every love that could have been
If I'd only thought of something charming to say

(Bop Ba...) This is the sound of settling (Bop Ba, bop ba...)
(Bop Ba...) This is the sound of settling (Bop Ba, bop ba...)

I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots

Hmmmmm...Plans....LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT.

How bloody fabulous is "I will follow you into the dark"????

Although right at this moment I am listening to Minus the Bear-Menos el oso. I can't wait to see these bands in the coming months: The New Pornographers-this week,Minus the Bear-Oct,Broken Social Scene-Nov,Death Cab-twice!-on my b-day in San Diego and in LA in Nov. I am going to be so broke.

I am listening to:

Joy Division
Psychic TV
The Doors
Pink Floyd
The Pixies
Gang of Four

We went on another CD run - this time it was mostly used CDs at Fingerprintz - although we picked up some things in Chicago.

What's sitting in front me of is:

Tindersticks - First 4 albums
Magazine - first 2 albums
Siouxsie et all - The Scream
Crass - Best Before 1984 compilation
Chicks on Speed
The Blasters - Complete Slash Recordings
The Fall - Peel Sessions
Dangerhouse compilation V. 1 (With the Eyes: Disneyland)
PJ Harvy - Uh huh her
Buffalo Daughter - Captain Vapor Athletes
Ultra Chilled Vs #5 and #3
Ursula 1000 - Kinda Kinky (with cool Shag cover)
Thievery Corporation - Cosmic Game
Paris - Sounds of the City
Stereo Total - Monokini
The Chemical Brothers - Push the Button
Death by Chocolate
Kraftwerk - Tour De France Soundtracks

Hey, lady! Read a very good (albeit brief) review of the new Fiery Furnaces. Have you heard the album, or heard of it? I don't know if it's released yet, but it sounds great. You introduced me to their music and I lah-lah-love them.

No! I'm really bad when it comes to knowing new releases, therefore I'm always playing desperate catch up. Must go looking.

Here it is. Out October 25th. Called Rehearsing My Chior


There's a new Gang of Four coming out too that is supposed to be really good. Damn.

"These Words (I Love You, I Love You)" ~ Natasha Bedingfield
:)

Blaze Of Glory - Bon Jovi (over and over, I'm working on a new fireworks/laser show in RCT3)

After I finish listening to Carmen, I'll be listening to Vector Lovers.

I love the Vector Lovers.

I am scrutinizingly listening to the soundtrack for the 'Rent' movie.
So far, it's okay... sort of.
:)

We're listening to The High Llamas and spending money on iTunes.

I was wondering if it was going to be any good.

Let us know when you're done... :)

Wicked - Switchblade Symphony

I'm working on putting together a "soundtrack" for a friend's Halloween party

Downtown - Petula Clark

Reverend Horton Heat - Bales of Cocaine

Heh - just got back from seeing this live, closed the 2nd encore - still as good as ever was. We might have to go back and see them again on Sunday.

I'm reviving this thread because, well, we've got some new music.

Actually, we have lots of new stuff, but what i REALLY want to share about is something MousePod played for us and I've become addicted to.

Marisa Monte, Carlinhos Brown and Arnaldo Antunes - Tribalistas.

I haven't been this in love with a CD in a while, but I can't seem to turn it off. It's perfect summer music, so languid and rich. I was playing it in my car as the hot day cooled into a foggy night, my sunroof was open and the stereo was turned up. Even traffic on the 101 couldn't dampen my mood. Monte has the purest, sweetest voice - it's like a cool drink of fresh spring water on a hot day. Brown's deep rumble provides the perfect counterpoint to Monte's sweetness.

If you are a fan of Brazillian music of any type, you MUST listen to this CD.

Monte's 2 - yes 2 - new solo albums come in close behind in my addiction. Such great stuff!

We're seeing Monte live at UCLA in November. It's a rare appearance and I'm very excited.

Thanks MousePod!

Assuming this is in Portuguese (Please don't let me be making a fool of myself), are there English translations included for the lyrics??

Edited to add: Never mind! Amazon says they do. :D

Fire - Ohio Players

its funk-tacular!

Tag's Trance Trip on SomaFM.

Current title: Max Graham - Progressive Mix - Recorded April 2001

Ditto on Not Afraid's Thread & thanks to MousePod for always broadening our listening horizons.

In addition I've been having fun with Stereophonic Space Sound Unlimited, which I discovered trying to recreate the Tomorroland Tokyo Loop - sort of retro-contemporary space surf guitar - ala Dick Dale meets Esquavil.

I also tracked down a CD by Monokini, a fun indie Brazillian band that's sort of a poppy Stereolab sound, great for Summer. That's spurred me back to two favorites from Spain, Le Mans and Anna D - again foriegn indie-pop that just sounds great on a hot Summer day.

Radio Nigel.com - current track is

The Cure Vs. Bjork - Hidden Forest

I flew on Singapore Airlines from NYC to Frankfurt -- on demand entertainment systems rule. I got to listen to a few different albums, and even found some good fall-asleep music (Vespers).

Among the sampled:

Black Eyed Peas - Monkey Business
Pussycat Dolls - PCD
Massive Attack - Collected
KT Tunstall - Eye to the Telescope

Steph ~ I like that KT Tunstall song 'Black Horse and a Cherry Tree'. Good stuff.

I recommend the Gnarls Barkley CD. It's good.

:)

Did you like the Massive Attack? I love that album....LOUD.

I really like it. I can't decide if I should get Mezzanine or the Collected album.

Both are great. I couldn't recommend one over the other.

I totally dig a song that was given to me on a mix. It's "Moi, Mon Ame et Ma Conscience" by Paris Combo.

Any recommendations for Paris Combo albums, or other groups in the same French Pop-vein that I might enjoy? :)

I love them all, but Livingroom is probably my favorite.

Other bands you might like, Pink Martini (which isn't French but sometimes sounds that way) and 8 1/2 Souvenirs or you might want to reach back to thier influences and get some Django Rheinhardt.

Django! Yes!

Check out Paolo Conte too.

Mezzanine is PERFECTION.

I'm back in love with my Amelie soundtrack. More pretty French accordian music. More, more, more!

Do you have Buscemi: The Late Night Reworks Vol.1? It's good. Check it out on iTunes.
:)

Beetlejuice Theme Song - GMS This is the start of the soundtrack for this year's Halloween (I know, it's only February, but I start early)

iTunes is on random, and it just decided to play "Punk Rock Superhero" by the Minni-Thins.

I'm just listening to the voices in my head. And there are currently a lot of them.

Actually, I am currently listening to "Breakfast with the Beatles" and today is all love songs (in honor of Valentine's Day).

Nostalgia 77 put a sneak peak of their upcoming LP on MySpace. Yay!

The Shins' new CD is good.
:)

I've been on a Leonard Cohen kick. Perfect music for overcast/rainy days.

I've had a lot of Beatles going on in my head and otherwise.

However - sitting here at my desk, watching the dark clouds roll away, replaced by sunshine and puffy white things pretty much forced me to put on "I Can See Clearly Now." Cuz you know... the rain is gone. ;)

Peaches - Rock The Shocker

I was just listening to her first album the other day. I love Peaches. She is CRAAAAAAAAAAZY.

I just discovered Camera Obscura.
 

I've been listening to their newest album. It's de-lovely.

And I'm just downloading Joanna Newsom's new album, since I quite liked her debut.

Is it Y's, or is there one I don't know of? She does a lot of work (or maybe is the main person for, I'm not sure) with CocoRosie. That's a really good album too.

I've been listening to a lot of The Blow. Poppy chick rock without guilt (because it's intelligently written). Her older albums are so different and not poppy at all like Paper Television is.

I'm having a lot of fun with Electro Addiction: An Electro Tribute To Jane's Addiction

My favorite track so far is Substance Symposium's version of Been Caught Stealing - mp3

Illinois Street Lounge on SOMAFM via iTunes.

The description is "Classic bachelor pad, playful exotica, and vintage music of tomorrow"

A perfect soundtrack for this group.

Interesting, the very first things I heard from this was a rooster crowing and a baby crying...

I'm listening to the Juno soundtrack.
:)

(now it's playing Richard Cheese, who I love.)

Oddly enough, GC, the Juno soundtrack was my big listen yesterday.

... the Juno soundtrack made me want to listen a ton of old music, which is now getting a lot of play on my iPod.

Which makes me think about EH1812's suggestion that we make mix tapes (actually - it was a book/music party if I remember correctly). What happened to that idea? Can we resurrect it please?

Oh. And I'm currently listening to a lot of Heavenly, Chocolate USA and even Echo and the Bunnymen.

For me, it's the last song in the film that I adore. It was such a cool moment.

I also have the Superbad soundtrack playing in my car.

Last night, I watched the concert DVD of Dave Matthews at Piedmont Park. It has one of the best breakdown jams I have heard in a long time.
:)

At the moment - The Rammstein remix of Faith No More's Last Cup of Sorrow

the light projections add to the listenability of this music :)

I didn't like the Juno Soundtrack too much. It gave me shivvers like someone breathing in your ear. eeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhh! <sshivverssss>>

<-- The Bird and the Bee, Emily Jane White, Lupe Fiasco

Looking forward to the next Gnarls Barkley ("Run" sounds delicious) as I am the next Goldfrapp ("A&E"... also delicious).

I'm currently listening to "The Call to Adventure" from the Islands of Adventure Soundtrack

It was both, actually. A book swap party, and a plea to get some sort of "mix-tape" thing going... I should stick by my bright ideas, eh. I shall happily resurrect the thread and begin thinking about party dates. Should probably happen in March or April, since I live in Hollywood and don't have an AC...

Kid Rock - you never met a motherf*cker quite like me

I love the 'random' setting.

Some current favorites:

The Gerbils
The New Sound of Numbers
Circulatory System
Of Monteal

Yeah, kinda obsessed with the current wave of psych rock going around. Interestingly, while Myriad Harbor is a fantabulous song, everything else from The New Pornographers bores me to tears. Go figure.

I'm listening to Chicago. Unless Yahoo radio is on, then its random stuff...

Apparently, America. Not quite by choice.

My iPod died, and no defibrillator paddle - nor Genius Bar - can resuscitate. So I've been listening to (gasp...) radio. And for whatever reason, for the past week I haven't been feeling the standard KCRW. Perhaps my mornings are eclectic enough right now. So I've been back and forth between an oldies channel, a randomized channel, and a classic rock channel. At the center of the venn diagram of their playlists sits America's "Sister Golden Hair."

This morning, in fact, it came on again while I was on the randomized channel. Amused, I started to text Tom about it, since it was probably the eighth such playing of the song I've caught in the last seven days. I knew he was busy, so I saved the draft for later, and then changed the channel when it went to commercial. I caught the end of another oldie, which was followed by... lucky number nine.

Is the radio trying to tell me something?

I won't meet you in the middle, I won't meet you in the air
Would please cease stalking airwaves, dreadful Sister Golden Hair?

kd lang.

I can't stop listening to the new CD from Lightspeed Champion, which came out in the US last week. Check out his myspace page and blog for a ton of free music. Superb!

"Sister Golden Hair" just played on Yahoo Radio. :)

Oh yeah, I heard one of their tracks ("Galaxy of the Lost") on KCRW.

Junkie XL doing a cover of a Siouxsie song.

Asylum Street Spankers covering "TV Party" (well, until I came to class.)

INXS

I bought the new Lenny Kravitz cd and have been grooving on that. I realized I hadn't bought a cd for a few years, although Gary has bought many!

New Sheryl Crow release. A bit disappointing because of too many cover songs.
Wynton Marsalis live. Loving it!

George Carlin, sometimes though this guy goes wayyyy overboard. :rolleyes:

While he does occasionally have some funny stuff, I long ago gave up on his rantings.

I threw together a quick playlist of stuff that I could listen to and work without too much distraction.

Right now: Styx - "Fooling Yourself"
Next:
Tom Waits - "The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me)" <-- <3 this song
Rilo Kiley - "Three Hopeful Thoughts"
Blackalicious - "Alphabet Aerobics"
Queen - "Killer Queen"
and then...
Arling & Cameron - "We Love Dancing" <-- the song that will forever be sung as "We Love Pookie"

Aww... You know, I still miss Dex. :) I may just skip ahead so I can be all happy-thoughtted again...

We love Pookie.....YAY! :(

I still miss him too. He was my baby boy!

Dex was the best.

Anyone here listened to A Fine Frenzy? It's not a band so much as just the delightfully talented singer/songwriter Alison Sudol. Her debut album, One Cell In The Sea, is on my frequent rotation list these days, especially the "title" track, actually called "The Minnow and the Trout," as fine a humanist sermon as I could hope for. Radio-wise, you are more likely to have heard her ballad "Almost Lover" if anything.

Wow, I've just discovered Dengue Fever. No, not the disease! I like, a whole lot!

For those that listen to NPR, Fresh Air today is talking to them and also playing class Cambodian rock samples.

:snap: :snap:

I've been listening to Germans yelling, otherwise know as Wagner's Ring Cycle. I thought my neighbors needed to hear something besides their usual hip hop and Mexican polka music.

^ Hey, we must have the same neighbors. :)

Fela Kuti

Water No Get Enemy

Wedding March For A Bullet - Diablo Swing Orchestra

Metal/Swing/Operatic Music from Sweden

Funny, I'm listening to them too! ;)

So am I!

Somewhere in my archives, I have a Ska version of Pachelbel's Wedding March.

Pirate Love - Ain't Nothin To Do

I've been digging Sons and Daughters. Scottish. They'll be at Coachella. If we like 'em there, I'm going to cross my fingers that they'll be playing in or near Edinburgh in September.

The new Ditty Bops album!!!!

Les Claypool raping his bass guitar!!!

Thanks to Boss Radio's long-ago insistence, I've gone about listening to Harry Nilsson, and frankly, I'm amazed.

So yes, Harry Nilsson.

Thank you Boss.

mousepod made a cd for me of Nilsson's Popeye tracks. Lovely, lovely stuff.

It's out! Cool. I knew it was on it's way. I'll have to go to Fingerprintz. Danger Will Robinson!

So, Best Buy (the closest thing we have to a record store out here) finally restocked their supply of Vampire Weekend and we picked it up last weekend.

It might not be my all-time favorite album ever, but the album is listenable end-to-end - which, to me, is impressive for their debut effort. We basically let it repeat over and over and really just can't get enough of it. They really live up to the hype they've gotten.

If you haven't checked them out, please do so. Like, now.

"Werewolf Schoolday kicks Vampire Weekend's ass, any day!" - Jason

Oh, and they play Friday at Coachella...

Johnny Coltrane- A Love Supreme.

Restful.:coffee:

Dean Martin - Ain't that a kick in the head

up next

Etta James - At last

42 more seconds

can't wait

OT: I love Etta James, I love "At Last". I love going to karaoke. I loathe when women whose names are not Etta James try to do "At Last." If they bother doing it, they should try and break out and do it in a slightly different style, since frankly, even Etta James doesn't sound as good doing it as she did during that recording session.

That is all.

Apparently, they were out here on Monday.

Just starting to check it out on Myspace... good sounds.

DEVO

Institube Paris Terror Club.

They're on one version of the Coachella lineup list as appearing and featuring (among others) "Orgasmic". However on the latest lineup, there is simply "Orgasmic Curses". From what I've pieced together, it seems that it was probably a bunch of D.J.'s of that run in the same circle that were all going to show up, but most have dropped out (seen it happen many a time for parties).

But I digress. They're a definitely a noise act. Serious noise. But they've got something that keeps me interested. I don't know if I could hang for a full set (or even part of a set) at Coachella. Rather, I know I could hang, but it would require seriously committing to being okay with really really noisy music for 30-40 minutes. Like, noisier than I was even listening to when I was still going to parties. It's definitely "either you're in or you're out" type music. I'm guessing I won't be in the mood to take that kind of abuse (and I mean that in the best sense of the word) in the middle of the desert with a dozen other acts I want to see.

1,000 Homo DJs - Supernaut (Trent Reznor Vocal version)

The main Background loop to Mickeys Water Works Parade.

Amy Winehouse - Love is a Losing Game

"Wicked Wanda" from Real Emotional Trash by Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks.
An early contender for album of the year in the mousepod house.

This song goes to radio on the 17th & will be available for purchase on the 25th.
Yet somehow it appeared on my computer a couple weeks ago. ;)


http://www.zshare.net/audio/8356017f2d8964/

Cabaret Voltaire - Live at YMCA - Nag Nag Nag

Love him. He makes great music.

I dunno, Jason. I think Vampire Weekend has the upper-hand (they are what I came in to post.) But Werewolf Bar Mitzvah trumps all.

"Boys becoming men... men becoming wolves..."

I am also listening to the Puppini Sisters.

Right now I am listening to the sound of people talking in an office with a very quite radio playing in the background. It's awfully boring.

http://www.thepuppinisisters.com/

I'm a little in love.

Yeah, I just checked them out after reading H's comment above. Good stuff!

I didn't know they had a new CD out! We have their last one. Funtimes!


But I'm currently listening to The Detroit Cobras.

They've been on my "list" for quite a while but I've never gotten around to actually purchasing the CD. Now I need 2. :sigh:

Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings - for some reason this appeals to me more than its Motown predecessors back in the day, maybe I'm just more in the mood for some soul these days.

"Enter Sandman" performed by Innocent Blood - It's a cover of the Metallica hit, in the style of 70s cop movie music, with the great wah wah guitar and funky bass

Oh! HAve you heard the swing version?

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings - Tres Cool, fun and funky - get DOWN!
Louis XIV - Incredible! I lovelovelove this album!
Vampire Weekend - Eh, not so much thrill for me there.

Listening to the new Gnarls Barkley and the Puppini Sisters cover of "Walk Like An Egyptian".
:)

Pffft! iTunes!

So, I couldn't find the new Gnarls Barkley nor the Puppini sisters at Best Buy when we went yesterday. (Had to pick up Enchanted and I r teh Legend) I'm about this close to buying them on iTunes, but J's vehicle doesn't seem to like burned CDs 100% of the time, and he wants to listen to them to and from work, too.

Grr.. this close! Maybe we should just buy him a new car stereo. Yeah, that's the solution!

I'm listening to P.Diddy!!!

Just kidding, I'm still listening to Bjork and random happy hardcore music. I just wanna dance!

The Fiery Furnaces' Windy City album. This is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite albums.

Cherny, if you haven't already, I recommend again a band that Bjork has recommended: Bat for Lashes. It gets better with every listen.

Pipeline - The Ventures

surfs up baby! spring in a few hours!

German techno - songs about (and featuring) Bugs Bunny and other Looney Tunes characters - the lights in here really add to this :D

Speedy Gonzales singing about Mexico in German is beyond weird...

gee...ya think?

Fel Yna Mae Hi Wedi Bod Erioed by Dafydd Iwan

Right now, I'm listening to Mancini's Baby Elephant Walk. Tres swank.

Laika and the Cosmonauts - Finnish Surf guitar at its best

The song many now only know as 'The Dancing Homer' song :p

Appalachian Spring now. I do love me some Copland.

Helter Skelter - Siouxsie & The Banshees (The Peel Sessions - Feb. 6, 1978)

Really awesome version of this song

Right now, I think I'm listening to the hum of computers and a little bit of air moving through the vents. Oh, and the clicking of my typing. That's it... yeah.

I'm listening to Bill running water in the bathroom sink.

Kraftwelt

Of Montreal. I am so absolutely in love with them.

Roommate in the next room playing some online game and talking to phantom gamers in his headset.

Apparently his map sucks.

Leerone.

http://www.myspace.com/mynameisleerone

Even though it means I'll be eating nothing but pasta for the next few days, I just bought three of her albums. She (or her manager/PR folks) contacted me via a highly personalized message on MySpace, which was a very savvy thing to do, as it's the first musician/band to contact me that didn't automatically trigger my 'delete' finger. Anyway, I gave her music a listen and I really, really dig. Let the "word-of-mouth" fly.

I'm listening to the fun sounds of the washer trying to break free of it's bolts, so it can samba across the room and slay me while I typAAARRRGH!!!!!!

I successfully fought off the washing machine, and now I'm listening to an Earth, Wind & Fire Megamix

3 Blind Mice (It's my screenplay-writing soundtrack; hopefully my movie soundtrack someday.)
She & Him (love me some Zooey Deschanel.)

Yay!

Also, I believe DeVotchKa (of Little Miss Sunshine fame) have a new album out, but I haven't listened to it yet. That's a next paycheck purchase. ;)

Man Man

I remember hearing them several months ago and feeling pretty luke warm. But I've been listening over the past few days to tracks from a new album, Rabbit Habits, released yesterday, and wow, I dig muchly. And oh hey, they're gonna be at Coachella. Joy!

Tchaikovsky Manfred Symphony. The 4th movement just rocks. How can you not love a symphony called Manfred?

The Last Shaddow Puppets
Firewater
Shearwater

Heard stuff from these three artists off albums that aren't released yet here

The Delgados
Coming in From the Cold << love this song

On to vintage Peggy Lee with Benny Goodman. This stuff makes me happy.

Oooh, loves me some Peggy Lee!
(And some Snowflake)

The Popcorn - James "Soul Brother #1" Brown

Love Deebs too!

Now it's Oscar Peterson and Fred Astaire. Clearly I'm in a vintage mood.

I'm listening to the humming of fluorescent lights as it is very quiet in my office at the moment.

I'm listening to the new Mutaytor album - Yelling Theater In A Crowded Fire

You can pick it up for $10 at their Myspace - http://www.myspace.com/themutaytor

For the Mutaytor album challenged, what would be a good CD to start with?

I'd start with Island Of Misfit Pscience

My co-worker who won't shut up. She's been yakking all afternoon.

My iPod is in the car and I am to lazy to get it. But if I did get it, I'd be listening to something not nearly as cool as the stuff y'all are listening to.

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - And I Love Her :cool:

Buzzing fluorescent lights is tres chic!

I'm listening to Thurston snoring.

M.R P.C. -Coltrane

The new Weezer song.

The Sugarplastic
Autumn All the Time

Louis Armstrong with Bing Crosby.

Tex Williams - Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (That Cigarette)

Now I'm listening to drama. I HATE DRAMA!!!

Go away drama. Please, just go away!

I see you've taken refuge on the internet, the worlds best shelter from drama to be sure.

Lounge of Tomorrow: Drama Free since 2003!

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Dig Lazarus Dig

Mountain Battles by The Breeders.

Oooh! How are you liking it?

I'm listening to my collection of gritty music on shuffle - Louis XIV, Grinderman, Gang of Four, Nick Cave are all present. So is Sheena Ringo.

All kinds of fun mashups and remixes from AudioPornCentral.

So far my two favorites have been Flying Swedish Chef Vs. The Beatles, and Daft Punk Vs. Bon Jovi.

Billy Idol Vs. The Supremes - My Wedding Is Empty Without You

This morning I woke to the upstairs pre-teen's CD on repeat. Then I cranked up some Beatles. She stopped her music.

HEhe

The Mae Shi

I'm listening to a conference call.

Not sure if anyone else has downloaded this from Itunes yet.

20,000 Leagues is on there now and and has a pretty cool Digital Booklet with photos and interesting stories about the movie,Paul Smith and more.

White Zombie - Super-Charger Heaven

I've been playing this one quite a bit lately.



This is the radio edit. The single goes to radio & tv in June. The album comes out next week.

:cool:

Heh - me too!

Madonna vs. Teddybears - Punked Up

Holy Fvck

Hot Chip

I'm in the H's and I've got only a day and a half to get through the rest of the alphabet

I think I've decided to stop listening to Coachella bands. The more I listen, the more I'll like, and the more scheduling conflicts it will cause.

Have Gnarls Barkley's Odd Couple on my iPod at the moment - finally imported it to iTunes so I could listen to it, as I like to actually (gasp!) listen to a radio program mornings and night, and don't seem to get music in the rest of the day without my iPod.

Next major purchase: iPod docking sound system.

And now... I'm suddenly over Gnarls.... time for... Flight of the Conchords...

<3 it.

Live at Amoeba Hollywood tonight.

Come home, Erica.

I SO want to see them at Amoeba! But I'm sad that our best artist is moving to NYC so my priority is helping send her off tonight.

?!?!!

Yeah, Mimi - though she'll still be working for us, only in NY.

This morning I'm... still listening to The Mae Shi.

ABC - Be Near Me (Disco Mix)

I used to have a disco version of Stairway to Heaven and Whole Lotta Love. REAL disco: not just a remix: somebody re-recorded the songs as disco. Unfortunately, they have both disappeared and I have thus far been unable to locate anywhere.

I've got a disco recording of Stairway to Heaven - it's great music for the toilet.

The Damned - Smash it up.

We took our birthday money and indulged in a post-Coachella splurge at Virgin.

Holy F*ck
Portishead
Sons & Daughters
Architecture in Helsinki
Kraftwerk

And for good measure, we bought a Man Man album and a 2nd Sons & Daughters album from Amazon.

I'm feeling pretty sated.

Juliette and The Licks. stumbled across it, got curious....and love it.

MUCH to my surprise. who'd a thunk Juliette Lewis could sing?

I'm listening to randomness on my iPod, and I just realized that I should turn it down...

The Mae Shi - Young Marks

"Golden Years" - Bowie
Love this song.
:)

bop bop bop

I'm listening to "One Hundred Percent" by Mutaytor

I had forgotten how much I loved The Posies. I'm currently listening to their solo stuff. The lyrics for "Je Vous En Prie" by Ken Stringfellow are just beautiful. As is the music. I keep listening to it over and over again.

I'm listening to snippets of my CD collection as I import to my laptop! Tonight, everything from Ani DiFranco to Billie Holliday.

GWAR - I'm In Love With A Dead Dog

Love Supreme - Coltrane

Anna Ternheim - Halfway to Fivepoints.

great video here

(quick story: Yesterday, Heather and I went to the new Americana mall in Glendale - aka The Grove North - to dine at Katsuya and pick up tickets to see Indy at midnight tonight. After we ate, we stopped in Barnes and Noble to get some magazines, and they were playing this CD. I asked the clerk who it was. He didn't know and pulled it out of the player. Long story short, I grabbed it. When I got home, I looked her up on the web. Turns out that this, her third album, is her first US release - less than a month old. Also turns out that she played in LA... on Monday night. I was 20 hours late to the party. D'oh!)

Damn you and your never ending ability to find great music that I want

And last Sunday night at Bimbo's in San Francisco!
*slaps forehead* Double D'oh!

Les Breastfeeders - Concerto pour rien du tout.

Help Me, Rhonda - The Beach Boys

Massive Attack.

Yelle.

Safety Dance (Cap'nharry Bmore'd) - Men Without Hats

courtesy of Palms Out Sounds - Remix Sunday #99

Michael Crawford - Put On Your Sunday Clothes (Hello Dolly Soundtrack)

LOL Ever since I saw WALL-E it's been stuck in my head.

I got this album yesterday & I'm loving it!

No Sugar Tonite/New Mother Nature - The Guess Who


I love the 'surprise me' button (aka: shuffle)

I know this thread is about songs, but I have been enjoying "The Sound" - the new radio station at 100.3 here in Southern California.

Coat Party - Mental Condition

Teenagers Scare The Living S*** Out Of Me- My Chemical Romance.

It's a pretty awesome song. ^_^ At least I think so.

Bump Uglies by Bass Kleph (Stupid Fresh 'Wizards In Oz' mix)

even the dishes in the sink are dancing.

Energy 92.7 FM right now. Later, Rachel Maddow on Air America. Later still, XM81 or XM84 on the way home.

Passion Pit. Just an EP? Bring on the album! Check out Sleepyhead, it's amazing.

No change. I am a man of habits.

Hey, What Do You Say - Kenny Wayne Shepherd

I've reinstalled the They Might Be Giants "Alarm Clock" on my desktop. I am at work, yet I am smiling.

Joker's Daughter
The Evangelicals
Fol Chen
Blitzen Trapper
Animal Collective's new album, Merriweather Post Pavilion
Hush Arbors

Just to name a few.

And yes, I am still unable to shake the psych rock/folk habit.

I've had $70 by Pussy Tourette going through my head most of the day.

Is that a combination of SM's date rant combined with Brad's barking and just about any post from any of the straight men on this board?

I love Sleepyhead - but check out this mix - a friend sent me the link and said that he thought it sounded like a CoasterMatt version of a Disney parade :)

Ummmm.... I'm not sure how to answer that.

Here's a sample of the song in question

From Arno Elias' Buddha Bar, the song "Osmyo".

This cat's track transcends swank. He's got to be the most chilled out cat 'round the planet. This song sounds like something you'd play just after someone's been born...or after your pet's had a litter.

Great music for a Post-Bush World.

Check out his Art...it rocks!

How uncool is it to say the new Rascal Flatts cd? :blush:

I'm listening to "The Librarian" - whatever the second one is. Making the Rat watch the first two before we can watch the third.

I was just grooving to a little REM while making pies. Now backwards to a little Mother Lovebone.

"Ai mi manera" - Gipsy Kings (cover of Sinatra's "My Way")

Love!

And why would you try?

"Somebody's Watching Me" (Rockwell cover) - Saar & Sky
