What music have you listened to today or yesterday?

[mvd]

Me - these CDs:

Hanson - Underneath (highly recommended - I think Hanson, Michelle Branch, and Avril Lavigne are three of the most underappreciated artists. This album shows cleaner production and more direction than This Time Around. Hanson has improved with each album.)
Chantal Kreviazuk - What If It All Means Something (highly recommended)
10,000 Maniacs - Campfire Songs (compilation of their work - highly recommended)
Abra Moore - Everything Changed (highly recommended)
Shelby Lynne - Love, Shelby (recommended)
Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks (highly recommended)

[Iris]

1. James Taylor - Never Die Young

It makes me feel like I'm vacationing in NC somewhere.

[DarkPhenyx]

2. They Eat Their Own.

Nice attitude music. Also the Matrix Soundtrack, and Butthole Surfers.

[Whitacre D_WI]

3. I watched the new Pixies DVD

Including all their videos, and a concert from London's Town and Country Club in 1988 (the same show the B-sides from the "Gigantic" single were culled from).

It also has a documentary where you get to hear luminaries like Bowie and luminaries-in-their-own-minds like Bono and Thom Yorke talk about how great the Pixies were. And lots of interview footage with Charles, Dave, and Joey (Kim did not participate).

[jonnyblitz]

4. DJ Ferry Corsten Live at Incasa Leiden 15-09-00

a bit over a two hour show recorded live. "two days later and you're still dancing" tweaker music. quite trippy techno. I needed a change from the more brutal stuff I usually listen to...

[NewHampshireDem]

64. Where can I find that?

Is it a bootleg?

[KDLarsen]

83. Have a look at

... www.tranceaddict.com - and even if it's not there, there's a bunch of other great bootlegs on that site.

I've personally spent most of the day listening to www.di.fm - switching between the various channels. I then listened to a Metallica show that was recorded around 1 mile from my apartment. I was there, and it was one of THE best Metallica shows ever (just listen to the audience!). It's available www.metmp3.com - and now I've finally been able to get access to Air America, so I might listen to that for a while before I go to bed.

[NewHampshireDem]

98. Thanks for the link ...

I'm gonna check it out when I get some time ... :)

5. Serge Gainsbourg -- Comic Strip

Fleetwood Mac - Live at the Boston Tea Party
John Mayall - Hard Road
Beethoven - Symphony 6

[Whitacre D_WI]

7. "Comic Strip" is a great compilation.

It's damn near impossible to find those '60s singles and EPs in the States.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

22. I've got it, although Gainsbourg Forever is the best.

[Whitacre D_WI]

34. Well, the BEST are the original albums and EPs.

I have over half of Serge's LPs, but none of the 45s. "Comic Strip" is great for me, because it has the songs from the great mid-'60s EPs.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

36. Yeah, the 45's are impossible to find.

Still, Gainsbourg Forever has the dance remix of Requiem pour un Con from 1991.

[Whitacre D_WI]

41. Yeah, but that's kinda crappy.

I like dancing to the original version.

You can find the 45s on eBay occasionally, but expect to spend upwards of $30 (that's almost $175 Canadian) on one in decent shape.

Actually, one song I really like (that I had to download, because I couldn't find it anywhere) is "Sea, Sex, and Sun" (version anglaise):

How old are you?
You look sixteen,
but you smile twenty-two.

What a dirty old fucker!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

42. Guess I should've been more clear. It's a ludicrous remix.

Actual $30 US works out to about the total GNP of Manitoba.

[Whitacre D_WI]

43. Manitoba has a GNP?

When did they secede? :shrug:

[Screaming Lord Byron]

48. This morning, they do that a lot, bloody attention seekers.

They'll be back when they start to miss their dinner.

[Whitacre D_WI]

50. They're just trying to steal Quebec's thunder.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

53. Yeah, but with that massive Thunder Net they bought, they might do it.

[Whitacre D_WI]

57. I think it's time for a regime change....

[Screaming Lord Byron]

58. The only oil they've got is Mink Oil, I'm afraid.

[Archae]

6. Right now?

Art Of Noise, "Close To The Edit."

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

8. Here's my list for the week:

Refused - Shape of Punk to Come
Stabbing Westward - Darkest Days
Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
Ben Harper - Burn to Shine
Seether - Disclaimer

[mvd]

10. I have The Fragile

Not the type of music I usually listen to, but I enjoy it.

[afraid_of_the_dark]

52. Another Stabbing Westward fan...

Don't see too many of those. I confess that I don't currently own any of their albums, but I used to have a roommate who had one that I had playing practically nonstop. Awesome, awesome group.

NIN rocks too... particularly that album.

[mvd]

101. Should I try Stabbing Westward?

When it comes to modern rock, I enjoy groups like Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Garbage, Letters To Cleo, and Hole.

[NewHampshireDem]

100. Trent Reznor=

The Best Artist of the 1990's, hands down! Can't wait for the new album, which I think is coming out this fall.

[GumboYaYa]

9. Geno Delafose

the Subdudes - Live broadcast from New Orleans jazzfest
Michael Ward - Live from jazzfest
Rebirth Brass Band
Dirty Dozen Brass Band
Theresa Anderson
Karel Denson's Tiny Universe

right now I am listening to WWOZ on the Internet.

[bif]

16. Hey Gumbo, how was the fest?

n/t

[GumboYaYa]

25. It was awesome.

On Friday we saw Trombone Shorty (funky jazz), The Savoy Family Band (zydeco). Jon Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen (funk), and Olu Dara. Olu Dara was amazing. I really wish he had more Cds available. I will travel to see him if he is anywhere near St. Louis. He started with that song "Herb Man." I love that song.

Saturday we saw Los Calientes first. This is one of the best salsa bands I have ever seen. If you are into salsa, get one of their albums. After Los Calientes we saw Snooks Eaglin. Snooks is one of my very favorite musicians. He put on a great show. After Snooks it was on to Geno Delafose and we finished with Macy Gray and Lenny Kravitz.

Sunday we saw Jason Marsalis. He is as good as his older brothers IMO. After Jason we saw Joe Krown, one of the funkiest organ players around. Next we saw Monk Boudreaus and the Mardi Gras INdians, then Jeremy Davenport. After that we danced to the Dirty Dozen Brass Band before finishing the day listening to Kermit Ruffins blow away the jazz tent with his trumpet.

I still have a giant smile on my face from all the good music we heard. You have to go next year.

[bif]

40. Sounds incredible

It's been on my "Must do" lists for years. Jason is a drummer, correct? What kind of group did he have? Did you skip Etta James?

[GumboYaYa]

61. Jason was playing the xylophone.

He had a drummer an bassist with him. Ordinarily he plays the drums. The kid is a great arranger and band leader. Watch out for him, he may be the most talented of Ellis' sons from what I saw.

Etta was the last show on Sunday. It was a rainy day. At the end of the day the weather got so bad that we did not want to keep the kids out in the storm. We left before Etta, but I heard she played an awesome set until the weather shut the festival down. She is coming to St. Louis in a few months, so I hope to see her hear as a consolation for missing her at jazzfest.

[southpaw]

11. A disc I compiled...

Some of the tracks include

Fleetwood Mac - I'm So Afraid (studio version from the White Album)
Aaron Neville & Trisha Yearwood - I Fall to Pieces
Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
Cross Canadian Ragweed - Suicide Blues
Duran Duran - Save a Prayer
Fleetwood Mac - Sisters of the Moon (studio-Tusk)
Sarah McLachlan - Possession
The Eagles - The Last Resort
Better Than Ezra - At the Stars

etc...

[mvd]

15. Lots of good choices IMO

I often forget to list Duran Duran among the artists I like a lot.

[southpaw]

29. "I went out for the football team to prove that I'm a man...

I guess I shouldn't tell 'em that I like Duran Duran"

Barenaked Ladies
Grade 9

I'm a Durannie from way back.

[VelmaD]

12. Last night...Emma Shapplin...

needed a little "Spente le stelle" to scream and cry along to.

After that was NIN "Downward Spiral" to fall asleep.

Today, on the way in in the car, was Sepulture "Chaos A.D.". ""Kiaowas" just seemed appropriate today.

[ihaveaquestion]

13. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy in concert last night!

They were great! I danced and danced!

[bif]

14. The Pernice Brothers

Never heard them before. I was impressed.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

23. I've got Overcome by Happiness, a damn fine record.

[bif]

46. I've just got a "sampler" of their music

What's their best album?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

49. I only have 'Overcome....' so I'm not the expert.

I thoroughly recommend it, though.

[Mrs. Venation]

17. Right Now

Handel, Messiah

Yesterday:

John Williams, Summon The Heroes
Patty Loveless, Mountain Soul and Strong Heart
Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, Peter Rowan, Vassar Clements and John Kahn, Old & In The Way
Dixie Chicks, Fly and Home
Alan Parsons Project, The Best of the Alan Parsons Project
Mozart, Piano Concertos, Salzburg Symphonies, Violin Concertos, Marches and Dances

I love music!

[Tyler Durden]

18. Yesterday/Today

Yesterday
Franz von Suppe: Collection of overtures
Sting: Fields of Gold

Today
Prince: The very best of Prince
Pink Floyd: Meddle
King Crimson: In the Court of the Crimson King.

[Commendatori]

19. Rush - All the World's a Stage (n/t)

[southpaw]

27. I love the set list and the energy of ATWAS...

but the low-fi sound kills it for me. My fave live Rush will always be "Exit... Stage Left"

Alex Lifeson's solo on "A Passage to Bangkok" is sheer brilliance.

[Commendatori]

54. Wow, we couldn't disagree more

:)

"Exit Stage Left" sounds to me like a studio album with applause dubbed in. I thought it was a real disappointment.

Agreed on "Passage to Bangkok," though.

[southpaw]

63. I'm not the best critic of live recordings...

I really only like live music if I'm at the concert... otherwise I prefer the ear-candy of a thick, wet studio production...

I guess that explains why "Exit..." works better for me.

Duran Duran's "Arena" was a live album that was barely recognizeable as such... and it's among my favorite live recordings.

Rock on!

[argyl]

20. Steve Earle,Emmylou Harris,Lucinda Williams,Moby Grape(seriously),

Rod Stewart(nothing after 1971),Iris De Ment.Some Beatles, Stones and Zepplin too.
I do love my roots rock.

[gpandas]

21. pink floyd- the delicate sound of thunder n/t

[Screaming Lord Byron]

24. The Go-Betweens - 16 Lovers Lane, The Saints - Eternally Yours.

On an Australian tip.

[Whitacre D_WI]

35. I'll make you crawl, I'll make you so sad you were mine.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

38. It's a fantastic album for tunage.

[fudge stripe cookays]

89. Round and 'round, up and down

through the streets of your town....

I love that album. I need to check out some of GW McLennan's stuff with Steven Kilbey from The Church. I used to be the biggest Church fan who ever lived.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

91. You know, not one person has ever responded when I post about the G-Bs

Don't know why, fantastic band. 16 Lovers Lane isn't even their best, that accolade is reserved for Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express. Love The Church too.

[fudge stripe cookays]

96. I've seen the Church about 5 times....

My enthusiasm has waned somewhat, but I still like em a lot. I had everything they'd done until Priest = Aura, but Sometime Anywhere just sounded like Steve masturbating with himself. Godawful boring.

Box of Birds had a great cover of Iggy Pop's The Endless Sea and the Beatles' It's All Too Much, but supposedly Steve has been busted for heroin possession now. I can see where they started to go downhill. A shame, really.

[fudge stripe cookays]

97. I'm special, that's why!

[TSIAS]

26. A few CD's

Jimmy Buffett's latest compilation album.

Dixie Chicks' "Home"

U2's "All That You Can't Leave Behind"

Michelle Branch "The Spirit Room and Hotel Paper"

[Zomby Woof]

28. why not the day before yesterday?

Or the day before that?

How about last week? :-)

[mvd]

33. Next time I'll put "in the last week"

To vary the topics a bit. :-)

[Zomby Woof]

45. just needlin' ya

I just didn't want anyone who hasn't listened to their CD's since Wednesday to feel left out. ;-)

[mvd]

62. But really - it would be useful to change time frames

:hi:

[Beaverhausen]

30. Radioio Eclectic

this is a great internet radio station.

I also got some amazing Joni Mitchell bootlegs yesterday. Some outtakes form Hissing of Summer Lawns that are very intersting. Also Blue outtakes and a bunch of live stuff. Its amazing what is being bootlegged and traded out there.

[dolo amber]

31. Nothing. I hate music,

and people who listen to music are dorks. :P

[Whitacre D_WI]

37. Piss off, you.

:P

[Screaming Lord Byron]

39. Afternoon, Mr. Ashcroft.

[dolo amber]

44. Let the EEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAGGGLEEEEEEEE soar!!!!!!

:bounce: :P B-)

[Whitacre D_WI]

47. Why is he touching his "demon parts?"

[mvd]

56. Yuck

What a way to ruin a music thread. :P

[dolo amber]

70. Sorry 'bout that...

sometimes my fingers get a mild case of tourette's. :silly:

;)

[quispquake]

32. A buncha cool & weird stuff...

The Modern Lovers
No Neck Blues Band-Intonomocy (went over great in my office!)
Talkingheads-Once In a Lifetime disk 2
Love-Forever Changes
Pebbles Vol. 3 (Garage comp)

I'm glad it's almost the weekend!

[Whitacre D_WI]

51. "Forever Changes" is one of my 3 favorite albums EVER.

[quispquake]

71. Did you see the DVD of "The Forever Changes Concert"????

It was UNBELIEVABLE!!! Arthur Lee looks & sounds great, his band is SMOKING, and he has a string section that completely fills in the sound...I was truly blown away...

It's one of my all time favorites too...I still play it every couple of weeks (and I first heard it 20 years ago!)

pp23

[Whitacre D_WI]

74. Not yet...

...I do have the concert on CD.

My buddy saw them in Cleveland last year. They didn't play FC (though they did most of the songs). He said it was incredible.

It's really kinda sad that Arthur was in prison when Bryan MacLean died. They hadn't been close for a long time, but I know Arthur respected Bryan -- his songs could be saccharine, but they also provided a perfect counterpoint for Arthur's songs ("Old Man" just before "The Red Telephone," for instance. And everyone loves "Alone Again Or," even though Arthur sang it).

[Burma Jones]

55. Here ya are

Pink Floyd - The Wall
Live Dead Kennedys
Luther Wright and the Wrongs, Rebuild the Wall - A country version of the Wall.
Eliott Fisk playing Bach on Guitar
Camper van Beethoven - Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart
Krishna Das - Chants
Dan Zanes - Rocket Ship Beach

[ElsewheresDaughter]

59. dylan and james taylor

[NightTrain]

60. 2-CD set, "The World of Johnny Horton."

There was a lot more to that man's music than "The Battle of New Orleans," "North To Alaska," and "Sink The Bismarck." Horton was a great talent who died way too young.

I've also been listening to various homemade CD collections of doo-wop and soul music.

[NewHampshireDem]

65. On my way up North and back today ...

Chemical Brothers, Singles 93-03, both discs
David Grey, White Ladder
U2, Unforgetable Fire

It was a good ride :)

can't believe I screwed that up. Getting old is hell.

[achtung_circus]

76. Blue Rodeo & Harry Connick Jr.

I'm not sure why. BR was rocking and Harry was syrupy sweet.

[Failure]

78. Dredg, El Cielo...the album of the decade...n/t

[m-jean03]

79. I've been listening to Tom Waits'

"Mule Variations" like there is no tomorrow!! My brother just burned me a copy, and it is so so soooo good!!:headbang:

[mvd]

80. I have his CD Alice

Different, but I give different a chance, and I mostly like it. Not sure which Tom album to buy after that.

[m-jean03]

81. Is Alice the new one?

I didn't know it had come out yet?

Mule Variations is excellent. Some slow, sad songs, some rockin ones too. Altogether, a masterpiece. Of course, his early stuff is wonderful too. Rain Dogs is particularly eclectic and beautiful!

[mvd]

82. Yes - it came out with another one called Blood Money

Do you have a preference of the two CDs you mentioned to start out with? Thanks!

[m-jean03]

84. Oooh, go with Mule Variations!

Just because I'm currently addicted to it -- it's my current preference!

Soon as I get me some money, I am going to get those new ones --Am I ever!:)

[mvd]

85. Thanks again

:hi:

[m-jean03]

87. Always glad to spread the Gospel of Tom

to all you poor, lost souls in need of guidance!! :) :D

Let me know what you think.

[mvd]

88. I'll let you know

I have a few albums I have to get first (the new Mary Chapin Carpenter, Loretta Lynn, Avril Lavigne, Alanis Morissette albums among some that came out earlier,) but I should be able to get to it by the end of June.

[ornotna]

86. At this moment

Miss Kittin - Radio Caroline vol.1

[fudge stripe cookays]

90. Colin James greatest hits and the Fatima Mansions today...

and yesterday we listened to our Rock Against Bush CD that we just got.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

93. Ever hear the Bubonique album?

Cathal from The Fatima Mansions and Sean Hughes. Totally bizarre shit.

[fudge stripe cookays]

99. No..sounds interesting!

An ex turned me onto Viva Dead Ponies years ago. I've been afraid to experiment too much since they're a little....well....they're uh....intense! That's it!

An acquired taste, of course.

[Endangered Specie]

92. Whatever parody song that was on Randi Rhodes today.

[Insider]

95. House Music All Night Long
