I'm in kind of a "mood". What should I listen to?

[GOPisEvil]

All suggestions welcome.

[Mrs_Beastman]

1. Rage Againest the Machine helps with moods

or Jane Siberry if you want to continue the misery

[GOPisEvil]

3. Damn...no rage...but that's a good idea.

I'm listening to Division of Laura Lee right now.

Swedish rock! :headbang:

[Mrs_Beastman]

17. Well, decribe your mood and what your going for....

[GOPisEvil]

20. Hmmm...I'm in a reflective mood, with some underlying anger (internal)

Not pissed off, just sort of wish I'd done something and kicking myself that I didn't.

[Mrs_Beastman]

22. Hmm... I'm going to have to go with the Costello vote then

[GOPisEvil]

23. Dammit! I guess I better hit iTunes then.

:D

[salin]

24. for a very different sort of mood... Rhapsody in Blue

A good rendition of this Gershwin classic, is amazing.

27. Johnny Cash -- "Singer of Songs"

I’m not a savior, and I’m not a saint.
The man with the answers I certainly ain’t.
I wouldn’t tell you what’s right or what’s wrong.
I’m just a singer of songs.

But I can take you for a walk along a little country stream.
I can make you see through lovers’ eyes and understand their dreams.
I can help you hear a baby’s laugh and feel the joy it brings.
Yes, I can do it with the songs I sing.
I’m not a prophet, and I’m not a priest.
I’m not a wise man who’s come from the East.
I wouldn’t tell you what’s right or what’s wrong.
I’m just a singer of songs.

But I can take you to a city where a man was crucified.
I can tell you how He lived, and I can tell you why He died.
I can help proclaim the glory of this mighty king of kings.
Yes, I can do it with the songs I sing.
I’m not a great man. I don’t claim to be.
But when I meet my Maker and He questions me,
I won’t hang my head. I’ll stand proud and strong
and say, “I was a singer. Lord, I was a singer.
Yes, I was a singer of songs.”


You could dedicate it to the former Mrs. Cash who passed away on Wednesday, exactly 50 years after giving birth to Rosanne.

2. I'm Not Angry....

Costello

[GOPisEvil]

5. This might be heresy, but...

...I have no Elvis Costello in my cd collection.

:spank:

[salin]

6. get thee to a nunnery!

or go get some Costello... sheeesh ;-)

[GOPisEvil]

11. I know...I know...

I don't know how I've avoided it for so long.

[salin]

15. honestly

it was one bit of music that made me not lose my mind when I moved back to Hoosier land (from DC) in the late 80s. When I found other Costello appreciaters - I knew I had found a small bit of a cosmopolitan world view. And someone with a wicked sense of social irony/humor.

[GOPisEvil]

16. I've even seen him live.

I kept thinking that I need to get his stuff.

[salin]

19. Does a great show

saw him in a small outdoor ampitheater in Berkley...

So for other old, but good ideas... Ever hear Joe Jackson's Big World?

I don't think that it has been ever released as a CD - but it is great.

[Gato Moteado]

30. you didn't even try to steal mine when i was living there

....but at least you should have burned a few for yourself.

[GOPisEvil]

32. Yeah, I should have.

Oh well. That's life.

[Bluzmann57]

4. You mean a sort of wild and crazy bad mood?

When I get like that, I tend to listen to Ronnie James Dio, Judas Priest, or someone of that ilk. Not sure why, just because I guess. Perhaps I'm just some kind of psycho. Or some kind of something, whatever that means.

[lenidog]

7. What kinda mood?

If you are in angry, storm the Bastille type of mood I suggest the Clash. In a quiet reflective mood some blues like Miles Davis should fit the bill.

[GOPisEvil]

10. I'm kind of reflectivey angry, if that makes sense.

[salin]

13. then you really need to get some costello

great sharp sarcastic/ironic biting but oh so intelligent lyrics.

She was working for the ABC News,
That was as much of the alphabet that she new how to use....

(From King and Queen of America)...


or

When Maggie was the whore of the world
England was her madam....

(from the 80s - Tamp the Earth Down, on Spike)

[GOPisEvil]

14. Ooooooh...if I was mad AT someone like that, those would be great.

[Cooley Hurd]

8. I've had BRMC on a loop...

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - either album should work for you...:thumbsup:

[GOPisEvil]

9. Oh, they're good. I like them.

I need to get some of their stuff.

[Skip Intro]

12. Queen

I don't know why, but I know that's what you need.

(future readings will be $50 - :D )

[Neoma]

18. Big band.

[GOPisEvil]

25. Hmmmm...I have some Harry Connick, but they're love songs.

Not what I'm in the mood for. Thanks.

Oh...maybe some jazz combo stuff. COltrane maybe. Hmmmm...

[Heyo]

21. Butthole Surfers!

You have to ask?

:shrug:

Heyo

[salin]

26. Come on Eileen

just added this song for giggles.

[GOPisEvil]

28. For the time being, I have selected Earlimart.

Their latest cd is called Treble & Tremble. It's very good. Just the right amount of reflectiveness.

:)

[SOteric]

29. The voice of a friend.

[GOPisEvil]

31. That always helps.

I've gotten a bit of that therapy already. My friends here at DU are helping, too.

:loveya:

[Gato Moteado]

33. mingus...Ah um

i'm sure i burned that CD in mp3 format and left it at your place for you (along with some other jazz). search for that cd, pour yourself a cold cerveza or three, maybe imbibe in some other pleasures if you like, and turn on the mingus full blast. then dim the lights, lay back on your couch, close your eyes and travel to a different universe.

[GOPisEvil]

34. Yeah, I have Mingus.

I might put some Coltrane or Miles, too.

Oh, unless you left a present, I only have the cerveza. ;)

[Gato Moteado]

35. if you want to be lifted.....

revolver and rubber soul will do the trick. so will sgt pepper's. or if you just want to chill, duke ellington is always a good choice.

[GOPisEvil]

36. I'm getting better.

:)

[GOPisEvil]

37. My mood has improved drastically.

Thanks everyone. Luckily my bad moods tend not to last long. I still need to work through some things, but I'm in a better frame of mind.
