What are you listening to?

[tjwmason]

It's been that sort of afternoon round here - so I'm onto Siegfried by Wagner. What's everybody else got on?

:hi:

[auntAgonist]

1. i'm listening to my husband

curse at his computer. It crashed and he's doing everything he can to get it up and running again. Poor guy :( :cry:

aA

:hi:

[tjwmason]

3. That's the sort of thing which sparked the Wagner...

though more work computers deciding to slow down to below a snail's pace... :eyes:

Hope all's well soon.

[SteppingRazor]

2. The new, soon-to-be-released Frank Black double album n/t

On edit: My bad. It came out last week. Pretty good stuff, in any case. :hi:

[tjwmason]

5. Does that mean you've got it before it's formally released?

If so, that's got to be worth something.

[SteppingRazor]

7. Yeah, probably...

Which is why it's more and more difficult to get record labels to send review copies -- because some of my journalistic brethren are unethical enough to sell their advance copies on eBay. :grr:

[tjwmason]

13. Any potential abuse will be grabbed at...

which then makes everything worse for everybody.

[Squatch]

4. The National Geographic Channel

Something about the Titanic

[tjwmason]

8. I used to be a total Titanic geek...

indeed 15 April 1912 still springs to mind as the date on which she sank.

National Geographic tend to have decent quality documentaries if they're about a topic one finds interesting.

[taterguy]

6. Nuggets

One of the best box sets ever

[tjwmason]

12. I'm afraid you've lost me - but it's obvious you're enjoying it

that's what matter. :D

[Tikki]

19. Have you gotten to "Children of Nuggets", yet?.....

[taterguy]

27. Not yet

I want it but can't afford it right now. I do have Rhino's single CD Come Out and Play which covers similar material

[billyskank]

9. Other people's crises

No-one is bothering me about them, so I am just sitting here blithely doing my own work. :D

Oh, and the guy next to me keeps snoring. :eyes:

[tjwmason]

10. Push him off his chair.

But other people's crises can be great fun indeed - especially if one has a large degree of schadenfreude. :D

[bbernardini]

11. Negativland - various live recordings.

First the show from April 9, 2000, and now the "Negativconcertland" bootleg.

[tjwmason]

16. They sound like an interesting band.

Certainly better than just pushing comercial poppy nonsense.

[RebelOne]

14. The hum of my computer at work.

[raccoon]

15. The AC. nt

[Tikki]

17. Lots and lots of Chris Montez.....

...cool dude, cool voice.

[Phillycat]

18. My Pandora "Frank Sinatra" station.

I love pandora.

20. The Gap Band ~ You Dropped A BOMB On Me.....

You were the girl that changed my world
You were the girl for me
You lit the fuse, I stand accused
You were the first for me
But you turned me out, baby

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me (But you turned me on, baby)
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me

You were my thrills, you were my pills
You dropped a bomb on me
You turn me out, you turn me on
You turned me loose, then you turned me wrong

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me (But you turned me out, baby)
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me

Just like Adam and Eve, said you’d set me free
You took me to the sky, I’d never been so high
You were my pills, you were my thrills
You were my hope, baby, you were my smoke
You dropped a bomb, hey, babe

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me (But you turned me out, baby)
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me (But you turned me on, baby)

You dropped a bomb on me, baby (Mmm)
You dropped a bomb on me (You dropped a bomb on me, baby)
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me

We were in motion, felt like an ocean
You were the girl for me
You were the first explosion, turned out to be corrosion
You were the first for me
But you turned me out, baby

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me (Whoa...whoa...oh...oh...baby)
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me (I won’t forget what you done to me, babe)

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me

I-I-I
I-I-I won’t forget it
I-I-I
I-I-I won’t forget it

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me

I-I-I
I-I-I won’t forget it
I-I-I
I-I-I won’t forget it

You turned me out, you turned me on
And then you dropped me to the ground
You dropped a bomb on me.

You turned me out, you turned me on
And then you dropped me to the ground
You dropped a bomb on me
You turned me out, you turned me on
And then you dropped me to the ground
You dropped a bomb on me

You turned me out, then you turned me on
You dropped a bomb on me
You turned me out, then you turned me on
You dropped a bomb on me

You turned me out, then you turned me on
You dropped a bomb on me
You turned me out, then you turned me on
You dropped a bomb on me

You turned me out, then you turned me on
You dropped a bomb on me
You turned me out, then you turned me on
You dropped a bomb on me

You turned me out, then you turned me on
You dropped a bomb on me
You turned me out, then you turned me on
You dropped a bomb on me

[Patiod]

31. Thanks for the earworm

But at least it got "Crazy" out of my head for a moment

[jus_the_facts]

32. It IS a FUNK Essential.....

.....you're welcome! :evilgrin: :hi:

[ThomCat]

21. Blondie

and a mix of other stuff from the 80s. :hi:

[atomic-fly]

22. KCRW....the in between music...

[Initech]

23. Arctic Monkeys

I love this album... one of my favorites of '06 so far!

[Spider Jerusalem]

24. Right now...

Orff's Carmina Burana (Andre Previn directing the London Symphony Orchestra, which is, in my opinion, the best recording).

[tjwmason]

26. By pure coincidence

I was listening to Carmina earlier today - not the Previn recording, but I'm not sure who. Small world.

[femmocrat]

25. Thom Hartmann n/t

[Giant Robot]

28. Listening to Live Aid(1985) performances

on YouTube. Currently it is Queen, but I just left the U2 selection a moment ago.

I still miss Freddie Mercury...

[tjwmason]

34. His death was a terrible cultural loss.

Very sad departure.

[Giant Robot]

37. In some ways when it comes to facing death

He was like a role model. I know it may sound weird, but he knew he was dying, and he made an album. He was on his last legs, so to speak, and he made a video. And God, his voice, what a gift. He is on that list of people who were taken before I would have liked. Not that my opinion on such weighs hardly at all, but still. I miss knowing he is a creative force in the world.

[Maestro]

43. I miss Freddie too.

Talk about the perfect frontman for a rock band!

[Anarcho-Socialist]

29. 'Common Tones' by John Coolidge Adams

Minimalist music.

[tjwmason]

36. Minimalism can be great fun

if that be the right word...though I definitely have to be in the right mood for it.

[Patiod]

30. "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley

Sadly, it's playing in my head, and not on my computer or radio. Total earworm.

[LaraMN]

35. That song causes CHRONIC earworms!

My three-year-old loves it, but even after the music's gone, it's still not gone...

[Mojambo]

33. A live set by the New Pornographers from Boston a few months back. n/t

[mvd]

38. Haven't had time to listen to much more than..

the TV and computer motor today. But yesterday I heard:

Guster - Ganging Up on the Sun
Susan Cagle - The Subway Recordings
Camera Obscura - Let's Get out of This Country

These are all three of the best albums of 2006. I gave Susan Cagle 4 stars like the other two, and I think the subway enviornment is a good way for a new artist like Susan to gain credibility and exposure. But I'm anxious for a studio album from Susan, where the arrangements can be clearer and more fully realized. She has a terrific sound going on!

[mvd]

39. And next, I will hear these

They are two that are on order and are out right now:

Julie Roberts - Men And Mascara

Paramore - All We Know Is Falling (a young group that is doing basic, crisp rock and roll - and well)

[Fox Mulder]

40. AFI.

[joneschick]

41. Neil Young - Living with War

wow-my 1000th post! what a relief!:beer:

[tjwmason]

45. Congratulations on 1000.

:toast: :beer: :woohoo:

[joneschick]

46. thank you

and I really like your sig line. I think I'll google the dude!

[mvd]

47. I just bought that, too

Shouldn't have forgotten it. I'm sure I'll love it! One song is flat out titled "Let's Impeach the President." :thumbsup:

And congrats on 1,000. :toast:

[Maestro]

42. It was Green Day.

Now it is DJ Z-Trip.

[Marnieworld]

44. Streaming Howard Stern

Loving it!

[LeftyMom]

48. RATM's Renegades right now

Earlier I listened to the new Rise Against and some old Ministry.

[sendero]

49. Magazine...

... a wonderful post-punk band from the late 70s. I forgot how great this stuff is (if you like this sort of stuff, it's not for everybody :).

Have "Secondhand Daylight" and "The Correct Use of Soap" in heavy MusicMatch rotation.

Barry Adamson's bass is simply incredible, and the late John McGeoch's guitar also. One of a kind stuff!!!

"Back to nature
the voyeur will realise
this is not a sight for his sore eyes
back to nature
getting back at you
I couldn't act naturally if I wanted to"

[ghostsofgiants]

51. Good band.

Not overly familiar, but "Motorcade" is a killer song.

[Arugula Latte]

50. Wire Train's "Chamber of Hellos" and Red Rockers' "China"

I'm on a 1983-85 kick.

[grannylib]

52. Just finished Blood on the Tracks (Dylan) and about to pop in

Neil Finn "Try Whistling This"

[Deja Q]

53. Only the voices inside my head...

:spray:

[Tikki]

54. "Louie, Louie"....Paul Revere & The Raiders....

..."AH...stomp and shout and work it on out, HEY!!!



Tikki

[flvegan]

55. Leaked copy of Rise Against, "The Sufferer and the Witness"

It is awesome!

Thanks to...hmmm...better not.
