What are you guys/gals listening to lately?  What do you have in your cassette/CD player/iPod/8-track? 


Journey?

[subnuclear]

I'm listening to the cooling fans of my computational cluster.   

[Limey]

David Cronenburg's Wife
Interpol
Metric
Whatever other old stuff comes up on random play.

[Matt]

Street Dogs -State of Grace
healthy does of The Stranglers

[Mr. Happy]

What are you guys/gals listening to lately?  What do you have in your cassette/CD player/iPod/8-track? 


Journey?

My Ipod has an ecelctic admixture of doo wop, R&B and some pop like the Chairman and the Mills Brothers, with a pinch of Hank Williams (the real thing, not one of the offspring), some other "cry-in-your beer" country music (real old country-before drums were allowed at the alter of the Grand Ole Opry) and even Jimmy Durante. No Journey.

[Limey]

healthy does of The Stranglers

Oh shit!  There goes the charabang.

[Gizzmonic]

Electric Six "Rock N Roll Evacuation", from the Señor Smoke album

[HudsonHawk]

What are you guys/gals listening to lately?  What do you have in your cassette/CD player/iPod/8-track? 


Journey?

What have you got against Journey, man?  You've obviously never in the backseat of a '74 Nova listening to Lovin, Touchin', Squeezin' with a high school cheerleader.

A cheerleader you say.

Pink Floyd (the Wall), both disks
Van Halen 5150

Electric Six "Rock N Roll Evacuation", from the Señor Smoke album

I'd heard of them before so I googled 'em (ahh)

Very interesting

[mihoba]

What have you got against Journey, man?  You've obviously never in the backseat of a '74 Nova listening to Lovin, Touchin', Squeezin' with a high school cheerleader.

And that was just the warm up song for attempting to shoehorn into the tiny confines (of the Nova, I mean)

[jonbloozy]

What have you got against Journey, man?  You've obviously never in the backseat of a '74 Nova listening to Lovin, Touchin', Squeezin' with a high school cheerleader.

Journey is, uh, not really my style. 

My latest CD's:

Norma Jean - The Antimother
Dethklok - Dethalbum
Oh, Sleeper - When I Am God
If Hope Dies - Life in Ruin
Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works

Listening to right now:

You got some good stuff on there.  How come you have to stream to work?

[tophfar]

You got some good stuff on there.  How come you have to stream to work?

thanks.  i don't necessarily have to, its just easier for me to do.  i dont have to worry about what is or isnt on my mp3 player, and i can manage it from my laptop at work.  so it's easy for me to change what it is on there, or listen to something specific.

[HudsonHawk]

CD's?

Herein lies the difference.  I buy albums.  On CD.

Would you like to buy a gramophone?

[Gizzmonic]

Heh, I still buy albums too.  On vinyl.

It's a bad idea to buy digitally mastered albums on vinyl.  (Unless you are a DJ and doing live spins) You get the worst of both worlds-limited frequency sampling of the digital world, combined with the fragility of the analog format.

This has been an pseudo-audiophile public service announcement.

I have quite a bit of drum 'n bass that was made for vinyl and it sounds excellent on my old analog speakers.  I also occasionally buy rare punk albums, not necessarily known for their quality to begin with.

Has anyone else used the Verizon Song ID software?  My brother burned my wife a Pearl Jam CD and I didn't have the track list.  I just had to hold my phone up to the speaker for 10 seconds and the phone tells you the artist, title and album.  I spent about an hour testing it on my most obscure music and was surprised how many rare artists/songs it recognizes.  Pretty amazing technology.

[tophfar]

Heh yeah, I was wondering if anyone was going to recognize that section.  All those games have a great track list, I don't have the soundtrack for III yet though.

[Lurch]

9 more days...

[Bench]

Assembly of Dust - Recollection;
Sam Roberts - Chemical City;
Beirut - Gulag Orkestar;
Willie Nelson - Teatro.

I spend very little time in my car so it takes several months to go through a couple cd's, but these have been heavily rotated between in the last six or seven months. At home the Ipod goes on shuffle and I take whatever it gives me.

[Ron Brand]

Gowns - Red State
Al Escovedo - Real Animal
Jarvis Cocker - Album
Louis Armstrong - Hot Fives and Hot Sevens
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Black Diamond Heavies - A Touch of Someone Else's Class

[EasTexAstro]

Paul Potts...

I have to wait a little longer than that, before my mate and his band hit the stage in NYC.  I'm working on flights and free accommodation as we speak.

[Duman]

Man do I feel old and out of touch.  I don't know the names of 80% of the folks you people are listening to.

Listening to my Ray Charles Pandora station.

[chandler44]

I've been listening a lot to the new Kings of Leon songs that have been released in advance of their new record.

[MRaup]

I just bought the new Toadies album, after seeing them live tonight. Album name: No Deliverance.

They were, as always, fucking amazing live.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Ray Davies - Working Man's Cafe
Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely
John Hiatt - Same Old Man
Alejandro Escovedo - Real Animal
Mudcrutch - Mudcrutch
 

[Ron Brand]

What I've heard of that Mudcrutch is pretty good.  How is the Ray Davies?

[Ebby Calvin]

wolf parade -- at zoomer mountain
sigur ros -- the new lp
she & him -- volume one
vampire weekend -- s/t
sun kil moon -- april
fleet foxes -- ragged wood

[MikeyBoy]

I stream Pandora Radio at work, but currently the cd player in my car consists of...

Bleu Edmondson - Lost Boy
Randy Rogers Band - Rollercoaster
Wade Bowen - Lost Hotel
Cross Canadian Ragweed - Garage
Davin James - Davin James
Burned CD - Toadies, Better Than Ezra, Eminem, Geto Boys, NWA, Journey, Metallica, Pantera and lots of other various crap.

[Ebby Calvin]

Hmm, have you heard the handsome furs? since you like wolf parade?

I have, and I enjoyed their album last year. I'm more partial to Sunset Rubdown (Spencer Krug's other side project), but Handsome Furs and Frog Eyes are both great bands too.

Are you into At the Gates at all?  I just caught their reunion tour in July.

[jonbloozy]

Are you into At the Gates at all?  I just caught their reunion tour in July.

Yes!  How was the reunion show?  I read that they won't release any new material, though.

[Matt]

It was pretty awesome.  I had high expectations obviously and wasn't let down.  They didn't mention anything about new material so who knows?  Carcass is back together too.

[hostros7]

wolf parade -- at zoomer mountain
sigur ros -- the new lp

Agreed on these, as well as Sunset Rubdown

[DVauthrin]

This is a sample of songs I frequently play on my Ipod(11 of over 800 songs).   In my car, I mainly listen to Octane(channel 20) on Sirius.

Ain't Coming Home-Silvertide
I am free-Newsboys
King of the stereo-Saliva
Inside the Fire-Disturbed
Two steps back-Saliva
Life is Beautiful-Sixx Am
Hero-Pop Evil
Who's going home with you tonight-Trapt
Runnin Wild-Airbourne
Ready to Roll-Jet Black Stare
Crazy Bitch-Buckcherry

[jonbloozy]

It was pretty awesome.  I had high expectations obviously and wasn't let down.  They didn't mention anything about new material so who knows?  Carcass is back together too.

I just picked up "Colors" by Between the Buried and Me at the Rock Box (support independent music stores!)  Fucking awesome (if you're into that kind of music)

Someone's been spending too much time at Pitchfork.

[Ebby Calvin]

Someone's been spending too much time at Pitchfork.

Nah, if this were true, you'd see Deerhoof, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! and Liars all over my lists.
But your point is valid.  I do check P4k (among other sites) frequently to find good new music.  I don't put too much stock in their reviews, since they've taken the indie attitude that once something has been critically drooled upon it shall suck from here on out.  Unless your band name starts with Radio- and ends with -head, or unless the music is so layered that you can't distinguish melody from ethereal mess, Pitchfork usually gives it a 6 (or below).
It's better than Top 40 or SportsTalk radio, though.

Been on a San Diego kick lately..

Hot Snakes - Suicide Invoice
Rocket from the Crypt - RIP

Spent the weekend in Waco for the final show by one of my favorites, Ethan Durelle.

My current spins:

Zookeeper - Becoming All Things
The Hold Steady - Almost Killed Me
ELO - Best of
The Definitive Ray Charles
Tambersauro's new LP (working on a review)

Plus I'm trying to pick a song for the first dance at my wedding in March, so that's fun.  All I keep coming up with are completely inappropriate choices, like Lyle Lovett's "I Married Her Because She Looks Like You"

"My Way" by the Sex Pistols would be a romantic choice.

[Limey]

"My Way" by the Sex Pistols would be a romantic choice.

"She Hates Me" by Puddle of Mudd would go down well with the in-laws and grandparents alike.

[BizidyDizidy]

"She Hates Me" by Puddle of Mudd would go down well with the in-laws and grandparents alike.

I'm getting married in June - I've already suggested "Crazy Bitch" by Buckcherry, which surprisingly went over like a lead balloon.

[GreatBagwellsBeard]

"Smack My Bitch Up" is also under consideration, as are "Song For The Dumped" by Ben Folds and "Feel Good Hit Of The Summer" by Queens of the Stone Age.

Love pandora.com... nice recommendation.  It is a genius marketing idea to tap into the vast metadata for digital music and then have end-users listen and then purchase digital music of their liking.  Then you create your own playlist from music that you've not listened to before but now are aware of because of genre compatibility to other music you've liked.

[matadorph]

I can't get enough Les Savy Fav.

[Gizzmonic]

"She Hates Me" by Puddle of Mudd would go down well with the in-laws and grandparents alike.

Or the Gals Panic version of "We've Only Just Begun".  Instead of "start walking and learn to run," it says "find a place where we can fuck."  Delight the geriatrics in your family!

I just "found" a copy of the new TV On The Radio album.  It's really, really damned good, takes all the elements that made their first couple albums great and adds catchy choruses.  PM me if you want it.

[MRaup]

How's the record?

Sorry for not noticing this until just now.

I like it. Its not quite as gritty and nasty as their old stuff, but it still has a Toadies feel to it.

[chandler44]

Awesome, I'll definitely have to check it out.

I'm halfway through listening to the new Kings of Leon CD right now.  Very good stuff.

[matadorph]

The new Kings of Leon is really good, as is TV on the Radio's latest, but that Bon Iver record is the one I can't stop listening to. I think it's the post-Ike melancholy.

[otterjb]

Just got the new Blitzen Trapper album, Furr. Saw a review that said it's like Neil Young meets Wilco which seems about right.
