What's in your CD changer?

[Dookus]

Right now I have four discs in:

Marianne Faithful's "Broken English"
Paul McCartney's "Best of..."
Eminem's "The Slim Shady LP"
and...
Cyndi Lauper's "At Last"


The last spot is empty. Given what's already there, what should I put in?

[Fenris]

1. Morrissey "You Are The Quarry" (NEW!)

Franz Ferdinand (self titled)
Pogues "Peace & Love"

[Dookus]

2. I'd rather take a kick in the nuts

than listen to Morrissey.

[Fenris]

3. And I'd rather stab my eardrums than listen to Marianne Faithful.

Or Cyndi Lauper.

:D

[Dookus]

6. Listen to "At Last"

it's a tribute to great Pop/Jazz music sung by a chick with a set of pipes that won't quit.

[Fenris]

8. "a chick with a set of pipes that won't quit"

And that's the problem.:evilgrin:

[Dookus]

10. lol...

sue me. I have a thing for women with great voices. Cyndi Lauper is one of the few white ones who do.

[Fenris]

13. To each his own, my friend

:toast:

[Dookus]

14. true...

but you're just delaying Morrissey's eventual and inevitable suicide.

Let him go.


Go toward the light, Morrissey! Go! Grandma's calling!

[Pale_Rider]

4. Well ...

Butthole Surfers, Afro Celtic Sound System, Grateful Dead, Lou Reed, John Lee Hooker and BB King.

[Dookus]

5. very cool...

variety is good.

[Angelus]

7. Nothing.

I have an MP3 player, and I get my music for free. :)

Seriously, though, why pay for what you can get for free?

[Dookus]

12. Cuz as a man who made his living in the software business...

I believe we should pay people for what they create.

[Angelus]

23. Well that's too bad.

I don't see it that way. :shrug:

Sorry.

[chenGOD]

26. Cool

So since I know how to steal a car, you won't mind if I take yours?

After all, why pay for what I can get for free.

Now a lot of people will say the car analogy is false, as the MP3 is merely an imperfect copy of the original. However, this is a question of whether or not you were willing to pay for something to acquire the right to use it. Since you are not willing to pay for a reproduction of the song, you are not entitled to use it. There is one caveat of course: that is if the artist has determined that you may in fact download the material. There are plenty of musicians who do do this in fact, there's material freely and legally available all over the web.

Know, I have no idea what kind of music you listen to, but imagine this: your favorite musician is an artist who is dependant upon record sales as well as touring to survive and be able to continue to put the time and effort required into making their art. All of a sudden, people stop buying this artist's records, but instead download them. Now the artist is still making money off tours, but since they have lost one of their other sources of income, they must take a "day job" in order to continue to provide food and shelter for themselves and/or loved ones/family. As a result of this "day job", they no longer have the energy or time to pour themselves into their creative arts as they did before. You, the listener are then deprived of listening to the artists new music, as a direct result of illegal MP3 downloading.

I suspect that no argument will change your mind, but what the hell, it's worth a shot.

Out of curiosity, what do you do for a living?

9. Musicology...

just got it. I like it.

I drive my students nuts - they never know what I'll be playing. One day it's Ella, another Vaughan Williams, another Clapton or Queen.

[Dookus]

11. All great choices...

as I said above, variety is good.

But Ella is the queen of all that is good.

[politicat]

15. Garbage 2.0 would be my bet

In mine tonight -

Aaron Copland, Boston Pops. (highlights - rodeo, Fanfare, Appalachian Spring)
Antonin Dvorak, New World Symphony
Bruce Hornsby and the Range, Songs from the Southside
Lord of the Rings score, Howard Shore, Return of the King
Ashley MacIssac, Hi, How Are you Today?

Eclectic, I know.

[Dookus]

16. well done...

I have the same Copeland recording.

I've never heard of Ashley MacIsaac - what kind of music?

[jpgray]

17. Hmm

Woody Guthrie - Dust Bowl Ballads
Police - Regatta de Blanc
Al Green - Best of
Beach Boys - Today! / Summer Days (and Summer Nights!)
Beach Boys - Sunflower / Surf's Up
Can - Tago Mago
Kinks - The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society
Kinks - Arthur
Beatles - Revolver
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

[Dookus]

18. good enough.. I approve..

except Sting must go. He annoys the fuck-all outta me.


good job on Pet Sounds!

[jpgray]

20. Be thankful I just rotated Roxy Music's "For Your Pleasure" out

I love Bryan Ferry's cheesiness when it is combined with Eno's pretentiousness.

[BigMcLargehuge]

19. mix, mix, radiohead, quadrophenia (2 disks), urge overkill (saturation)

that's what I gots me in the old changer

[MessiahRp]

21. Hmm..

Listening to a few tracks off NIN's "Still" CD.
-Adrift and at Peace
-Gone, Still
-The Persistence of Loss
-Leaving Hope

Very short instrumentals, very depressing. Sometimes you need to listen to sad music to flush the depression out of your system, or so there's my theory to it.

[leftofthedial]

since iTunes

[chenGOD]

27. Max Tundra-Mastered by guy at the exchange

Beautiful disc, no real words to describe the kind of music it is. Maybe, electronic-pop-funk-love-groovy-quirky-tunes.

Failing that, Manitoba-Up in Flames, Lighting Bolt-Ride the Skies or possibly Thelonius Monk-Misterio.
