The "What are you listening to" thread

[xmas74]

(dons flamegear)

"Dancing Nancies"-Dave Matthews Band (live from many years ago)

[Guy Fawkes]

1. Mogwai

Mr. Beast (2006)

[xmas74]

5. I've never heard it.

[Marie26]

2. Hope - Twista

[xmas74]

6. Another one I've never heard.

[Evergreen Emerald]

3. The new Dixie Chicks

I love this CD

[xmas74]

7. I've heard great things about it.

[mvd]

74. I also highly recommend it

It's about the only CD where I care about what the reviewers are saying -just because they deserve the support in their comeback. The only reason I'm still going to Slant Magazine is to see if their Dixie Chicks review is up.

[deadparrot]

4. I'm watching the Tonys.

:bounce:

[xmas74]

8. I was going to watch 4400 tonight but

turned on some music and that was it.

[LeftyMom]

9. Deliverance by Earth Crisis nt

[xmas74]

11. How have you been?

[LeftyMom]

13. Pretty good.

A little bored but otherwise okay at the moment. :hi:

[xmas74]

21. I'm in an "I evny all my friends who went to

Waukarusa this weekend" sort of mood.

Wish I'd been there but kids are the higher priority than me getting blitzed and listening to some great live music while camping.

[LeftyMom]

32. I missed a show a few weeks ago for lack of sitter

:( I really wanted to go too.

I really need to find a reliable sitter on this end of town.

[xmas74]

36. I need to find one too.

If you want a great festival you should come out to that one next year.

It's growing in size every year and is always good.

[flvegan]

42. *swooooooon*

How did I miss this post earlier?????

[LeftyMom]

44. geez, I don't know

you're fired. :P

[flvegan]

46. Okay, it was

40 minutes, and I was blinded by the July 4th release of Rise Against's new cd.

Not only do I deserve to be forgiven, but I deserve a reward for plugging the RA cd multiple times.

[LeftyMom]

47. They should pay you

for you pimp them well. :eyes:

[flvegan]

48. Pimping?

[LeftyMom]

49. I mean that in a nice way

:*

[xmas74]

12. I'll try to check it out tonight.

[txwhitedove]

14. Just heard something different, "The Dumbing Down of Love"

by Frou Frou. "Music is worthless unless it can make a complete stranger break down and cry."

I needed flame gear earlier during the Dixie Chick bashing. Their new CD is great.

[xmas74]

23. DMB is quite flameworthy on DU.

Too bad. They are a very liberal group and work on many different causes.

I know what the flamewars are like. Just keep your head up.

[lizziegrace]

15. Neil Young - Prairie Wind n/t

[xmas74]

24. Good choice!

Might take some Young w/ me to work tonight

[lizziegrace]

29. "It's a Dream" is one of my favorites.

:)

[xmas74]

31. I'm in a Dave Matthews mood right now.

I get in moods over music.

I will have to listen to some Neil Young tonight.

[Ariana Celeste]

65. I love that album

I just got it a couple months ago- "When God Made Me" is my fave! :hi:

(And wasn't my mama shocked when she found out I was rockin out to Neil Young?! :))

[lizziegrace]

68. I'm sure she was!

It's great when an artist's music stands the test of time.

:hi:

[mvd]

66. I'll have to order Living With War by Neil

I like solo Neil, so I'm sure I'll be drawn to more than just the message.

[RetroLounge]

16. Some Guys Have All The Luck - Rod Stewart

It happens to be on VH1-Classics right now...

RL

[xmas74]

25. Used to like Rod Stewart in his earlier work.

[RetroLounge]

35. Yeah, me too.

Maggie May era stuff...

RL

[xmas74]

37. Maggie May great song.

[WCGreen]

17. Something in the Water.....

Toni Price

[txwhitedove]

20. Yes, yes, Toni Price!!! Did we agree on this before?

Somebody tell me if she still sings at Antone's and I'll be
off to Austin next weekend.

[WCGreen]

55. Yes we did....

And I was just listening to her...

She reminds me of someone special...

[xmas74]

26. How are you?

[WCGreen]

56. I am doing okay......

I've been having dizzy spells...

It's like I have the vapors...

My oh my...

Other than that...

Taxes went fine and the campaign I was working on went okay, we lost but made it close...

And you...

[flvegan]

18. Rise Against...new CD out July 4th

but their myspace page has downloads.

I'm damn near giddy with the excitement!

Don't laugh...it's not funny.

[xmas74]

27. myspace has their downloads?

I'll bookmark this and check it out later.

And I don't laugh about music. Don't worry about me.

[flvegan]

33. Get thee to

www.myspace.com/riseagainst

Oh, yes...and it's good...very good.

[xmas74]

38. Got it.

Like it.

[Derailer]

53. I've heard the whole thing unmastered

and thought it was OK but I really only liked Siren Songs as opposed to the earlier stuff that "real" RA fans love (Revolutions mainly).

I think some of the songs will be ALOT more impactful once mastered though so...

PS I have a link if you want

[flvegan]

54. Yes, I do want

I thought that "Chamber the Cartridge" was, just, awesome, and more akin to their RPM-era stuff...

[ghostsofgiants]

73. I downloaded the leaked version of the album

Damn good stuff.

[Onlooker]

19. American Girls by Counting Crows

[xmas74]

28. Haven't listened to them in years.

[miss_american_pie]

22. Simon and Garfunkel Greatest Hits

[xmas74]

30. Always a good choice.

[Mutley]

34. The bass of whatever my neighbor is listening to.

:eyes: :D

[xmas74]

39. Does your neighbor have good taste?

[Mutley]

52. Dunno. Can't make out the song. Only bass.

It's not too annoying yet, so I guess it's okay.

[Deja Q]

40. "Mesmerized" by Faith Evans

[xmas74]

43. How are you tonight

[Deja Q]

45. Still here!!

[Ellipsis]

41. Iris Dement - Living in the wasteland of the free

Living in the wasteland of the free

We got preachers dealing in politics and diamond mines
and their speech is growing increasingly unkind
They say they are Christ's disciples
but they don't look like Jesus to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got politicians running races on corporate cash
Now don't tell me they don't turn around and kiss them peoples' ass
You may call me old-fashioned
but that don't fit my picture of a true democracy
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got CEO's making two hundred times the workers' pay
but they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage
and If you don't like it, mister, they'll ship your job
to some third-world country 'cross the sea
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

Living in the wasteland of the free
where the poor have now become the enemy
Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy
Living in the wasteland of the free

We got little kids with guns fighting inner city wars
So what do we do, we put these little kids behind prison doors
and we call ourselves the advanced civilization
that sounds like crap to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got high-school kids running 'round in Calvin Klein and Guess
who cannot pass a sixth-grade reading test
but if you ask them, they can tell you
the name of every crotch on MTV
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We kill for oil, then we throw a party when we win
Some guy refuses to fight, and we call that the sin
but he's standing up for what he believes in
and that seems pretty damned American to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

Living in the wasteland of the free
where the poor have now become the enemy
Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy
Living in the wasteland of the free

While we sit gloating in our greatness
justice is sinking to the bottom of the sea
Living in the wasteland of the free
Living in the wasteland of the free
Living in the wasteland of the free

[northzax]

50. something so obscure that no one has ever heard of it

but will immediately google it, therefore proving my bona fides.

but, if you must know, "According to Plan" by I Love You but I've Chosen Darkness.

[kiraboo]

57. Don't let me EVER hear you say anything about Nancy again.

This is a woman who has made my life into a pile of shit. (yeah, listening to those petulant but persistent voices in my head).

[_Wayne_]

58. The NBA Finals

[Strawman]

59. Drive By Truckers

"The Night GG Allin Came to Town"

[qnr]

60. Right this second, "Atlantis" by Donovan n/t

[maveric]

61. Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East

One of the best live albums ever.

[txwhitedove]

62. Yeeooow. Scissor Sisters, 'Take Your Mama'.....

[Initech]

63. Beck - Odelay

One of my absolute, all time favs! Havent listened to it in a while though, so many classic songs on this album.

[mvd]

64. Today..

Regina Spektor's new one on a full album listening party, and some songs from Persephone's Bees. Enjoyed Regina, and didn't like Persephone's Bees.

Allison Moorer's upcoming Getting Somewhere, also on a listening party. I already ordered it - poppy for her, but producer Steve Earle gives it an edge and grace that fits her husky voice. It ranks with any of her others - again, don't listen to Slant Magazine. I have very notable disagreements with Jonathan Keefe - he ranked this even below The Wreckers and doesn't like Anna Nalick - but I agree with him on his likes of Miranda Lambert, New Pornographers, Sufjan Stevens, Sleater-Kinney, some classic country that all people interested in country should appreciate, and The White Stripes (see the Slant Magazine forums for his best-of list.)

Yesterday (quite a few - was on a day trip) -

David Bowie - The Best of David Bowie 1969/1974 (he's odd, but very good!)
Hope 7 - self-titled (power pop CD)
Maria Mena - White Turns Blue (Alanis-influenced but fresh)
Kim Richey - self-titled (this is full of folk/rock gems! It's so good that even Trisha Yearwood couldn't cover the songs as well.)
Holly Brook - Like Blood, Like Honey (Lilith revival, but has her own sound that shines through on songs like "Like Blood, Like Honey," "Giving It Up For You," and "All Will Be Forgotten")

All excellent CDs!

[Ariana Celeste]

67. King Crimson

:headbang:

[Ekirh]

69. Nature Boy by Primus

Which will be followed by No Shelter by Rage Against the Machine.

[mwdem]

70. My air conditioner.

which runs continuosly here in the DFW area.:cry:

[ghostsofgiants]

71. Right now, "Blood On Our Hands" by Death From Above 1979

[Initech]

72. Funkadelic - Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On

Make my funk the P-Funk!

I think maybe next I'll put on some Zappa, Hendrix, or King Crimson. Havent decided what yet.
