What are you listening to today?

[mvd]

For me:

Anna Nalick - Wreck Of The Day

Beatles - White Album

And two songs/videos from Jewel's upcoming CD. There were only a few songs I liked on 0304, but this is more like it! She was always a bit too coffeehouse to make a classic, with This Way being my favorite Jewel album at A- (her other CDs were B.) But this sounds like it might best the CD This Way! I'll ask for it for my birthday, which is May 12. I'm also saving the Neko Case and Pearl Jam for my birthday.

1. Johnny Cash!

'Get Rhythm' is my favorite..

But I got a Johnny Cash "The Legend" CD that kicks ass.

And yes, I was a fan before the damn movie.

2. Pink Floyd mix

At the moment: "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", next: "Bike".


Later on tonight, probably Beck, or Blind Melon.

4. David Gilmour's new one "On An Island"

has a real mellow "Meddle" kind of vibe to it.

Also Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dust
VNV Nation - Empires
Sigur Rós - Ágætis Byrjun

[Ariana Celeste]

5. I want to buy that

Really we need a lot more music, we haven't gotten anything new in ages! Good thing tax return's comin in soon :)

I like VNV Nation... we've got a few of their songs, and I plan to get more

9. Louis Armstrong - Sunrise, Sunset.

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?


I don't remember growing older
When did they?


When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he get to be so tall?

10. After watching/listening to American Idol this week..

here are my thoughts:

Ace Young: 9/10 - I don't think he'll be in the bottom three again. Very good.

Bucky Covington: 6/10 - He was off tonight. His vocals sounded really hoarse for some reason.

Chris Daughtry: 9/10 - His most interesting performance yet. Still a bit concerned about the distinctiveness factor, but he's proven that he's a good singer

Elliott Yamin: 5/10 - Ordinary is the most appropriate word for his voice IMO

Katharine McPhee: 10/10 - Wow - she was great! Love everything about her - her personality, her looks, and her voice. Her voice is very distinctive.

Kevin Covais: 2/10 - I almost never go below 2, but he ruined a very pretty song. He might be a nice person, but it's ridiculous IMO that Randy and Paula think he's Idol quality, giving good performances every week. Maybe they want the youth to keep watching?

Lisa Tucker: 6/10 - Thought she was better earlier in the competition. She was decent tonight, but it was too cutesy, as Randy said.

Mandisa: 10/10 - great song choice, great performance! She's the only contestant to be 9 or 10 every week in my ratings.

Paris Bennett: 9/10 - she's amazingly versatile for her young age. Not out of place in a group like the Ronettes.

Taylor Hicks: 4/10 - What happened? Oh Taylor, two 4/10s in three weeks. I think he's had a couple really bad song choices for his voice.

Kellie Pickler: 7/10 - I like the fact she gave "Walking After Midnight" a sultry, bluesy feel. Better than I thought it would be after I heard she was doing Patsy.

11. The King - Gravelands

Right now... "Come as you are"

Elvis sings Nirvana, not too bad.
