What's everybody listening to right now?

[BeachBaby]

As for me, Joan Baez. :)

[petronius]

1. I'm listening to my cat dig in the litter box

Apparently, he's on his way to China... :shrug:

[BeachBaby]

2. LOL!

God, I miss having cats. My younger son is allergic, so it's gonna have to wait awhile. :(

[madinmaryland]

3. Ram v. Titans. Superbowl from 1999

[BeachBaby]

5. Wow!

You watch football games that don't involve the Cowboys? Wonders never cease. :P

[madinmaryland]

31. My wife is amazed at how I watch "antique" football.

Of course, there are five super bowl games that I really enjoy watching!!1!!

:D

[EastTennesseeDem]

17. Argh...such a painful memory for me.

[LeftyMom]

4. The sound of a sickly refrigerator.

:(

[BeachBaby]

7. Well, that sucks.

I hope it manages to hang in there for you for awhile longer. :(

[LeftyMom]

10. I rent, so it's really not my problem.

Except that if it goes out I have to run and get a bag or two of ice.

Still, I'd like for it to make it long enough for the handyman to come frown at it for a few minutes and announce that its not worth fixing (I can tell them that- it's a POS base model, having a repairman out will cost half what it's worth as soon as he comes in the door) and order me another.

[BeachBaby]

12. Yeah, I rent, too. And the same thing happened to me last summer.

The thing was defrosting itself, and sounded like it had a bad cough. Repairman showed up, deemed it worthless, and my landlord coughed up a new one.

Hope you soon get your new one, too. :)

[CreekDog]

51. My fridge's water dispenser stopped working over a year ago

then suddenly it started working again just last week. :wtf:

weird huh?

[derby378]

6. A commercial for Bank of America

Wheeee.

[BeachBaby]

9. Hahaha.

I turned the TV off awhile ago. Needed something to soothe the soul. :)

[darkstar]

8. The sound of escalating psychic pressure and tension

as the lounge collectively tries to refrain from onanism.

[derby378]

11. Did I miss something?

The parties some of you people throw when I turn my back... :P

[Aristus]

13. The second movement, or romanza, from Mozart's Piano Concerto #20 in D minor.

Wonderful piece. Milos Foreman used it over the end credits of his film "Amadeus."

[BeachBaby]

15. What would you say if I told you that I have played that very

same concerto in piano competitions? :)

Mozart was a complete lunatic, but his compositions were surefire ass-kickers in fine arts competitions.

[Aristus]

18. I would say you're a very talented pianist. The 2nd movement is cool, and slow

except for a few Mozart-patented scale arpeggios halfway through. But the 1st and 3rd are tough. Did you play it without the orchestral accompaniment? Despite the handicap of not being able to play the piano, I tried to arrange the concerto for solo piano once. Didn't get past the first movement. You really need the strings to bring off that tense, mysterious opening section.

I love Mozart. I use him as study-music; that whole "Mozart makes you smarter" thing was debunked a while ago. But I still do it.

:hi: BeachBaby! :hug:

[BeachBaby]

19. Mozart was clinically insane. I was convinced of that....

a long time ago. :P

No, I didn't play with orchestral accompaniment - I was all by myself on a concert grand, in various concert halls through my high school years. Unnerving. :scared: I'm glad those days are gone. :)

I also played a bit of Rachmaninov, and Khachaturian. My coach had a thing for the demented. :P

[Aristus]

23. I don't know about Mozart and Rachmaninoff, but Khachaturian is certainly demented.

I think it is just Mozart's off-the-charts genius that makes him seem demented. When it came to his faith, Roman Catholicism, he was very sober and serious. His liturgical music bears this out. His Mass in C minor is one of the most astonishing things ever composed. I always thought of the piece as Mozart's way of saying: "Don't worry. God's got everything under control. Everything's cool."

And his letters as an adult to his father are certainly not demented. They are very lucid and rational. Now, his letters as a child; that's other thing. I remember reading one of his letters to his sister when he was away on tour telling her how excited he was to be coming home to her. He announced that he would kiss her "face, head, hair, hands, feet, and backside (if it is clean.)" :rofl:

[FarLeftRage]

14. At the moment...

[BeachBaby]

16. Good song!

:thumbsup:

[greendog]

20. Listening to DUer greendog play Deep Ellum Blues on his ukulele.

:hippie:

[DarkTirade]

21. I'm listening to my random mix of weirdness on Pandora, and right now Nightwish just cycled around.

Early Nightwish with the original singer Tarja, not the newer poppish-sounding one Anette.

[Danger Mouse]

22. God help me, I'm listening to Death Cab for Cutie.

Shh, don't tell anybody.

[ghostsofgiants]

26. Dude, they are good.

[Danger Mouse]

46. Scientist Studies is the song I currently have stuck in my head.

[Phillycat]

32. I like them!

I really didn't think I was going to, but I do. :shrug:

[Inchworm]

24. Snow Patrol mixed with Dr Who

[Shine]

25. the cat;'s water dish, which has a little fountain thingie on it.

It was great.

[enigmatic]

28. "Shampoo"- Elvis Perkins In Dearland

We're playing him on this week's Indie Nation show on my station, and I can't stop playing this song:

[Drunken Girlfriend]

29. Joe Jackson

As of right now,I am listening to the radio,and they are playing

[crimsonblue]

30. the woman in my cellar...

she can scream all she wants, but she ain't getting out.

[Rhythm]

33. Listening to LyricLad playing Guitar Hero in the next room

He's off for a snow day, so he's already got the Wii cranked, and "Paint It Black" crawling in little green, red, and blue dots down the screen.

Kid's only 8, and he's better at that game than me. *L*

I can still kick his butt in bowling, though. *L*

[BeachBaby]

36. I LOVE Guitar Hero.

I'm still on medium level, but doing better than okay with it. Don't know if I'll ever get up the nerve to start expert. Yikes.

The kids always seem to catch on to the video games much faster than us slow-poke adults. :)

[Rhythm]

39. I've got GH III and 'World Tour'... i can't get past 'easy'

and i can't get my stats up above 80% even on that... *groans*

It's fun, though... got to try it out at LeftyClimber's place a few months ago, and though i stunk at it the first time, i was hooked.

[BeachBaby]

41. Have you tried "Through the Fire and Flames" yet?

Or "Raining Blood"?

I am kicking ass on medium with "Raining Blood". It's truly an effed-up song. Just the way I like it. :P

[Rhythm]

42. I considered it a personal victory when i got

an 87% on the bassline for "Cult of Personality" *L*

I haven't tried a lot of the songs on there, yet. I blame school and housework for interfering with my ability to be come a virtual axe-grinding goddess. :rofl:

[BeachBaby]

43. I LOVE that song.

Yeah, I am limited on when I get to play, too. I wait until the kids are in bed, so I can have it all to myself. :rofl:

[Rhythm]

44. Living Colour was perhaps my favorite rock band... so much talent.

One of the bands that i am STILL regretful that i didn't get to see play live... *pouts*

[TZ]

34. Someone who walked by and commented

Its so WHITE outside..first real winter storm of year here..Hoping to get out fairly early today.

[BeachBaby]

37. Woot! Same here!

Nice to finally get a decent amount of the white stuff with the cold temps. :)

[BarenakedLady]

35. The clothes dryer

and the hum of my computer.

[BeachBaby]

38. Sounds soothing.....

and maybe will put you to sleep! :) :hi:

[sarge43]

40. Sections from Leo Delibe's Coppelia n/t

[bif]

47. CBC radio show -"Drive"

Nice mix of indie rock, mostly Canadian.

[hippywife]

48. Eliza Gilkyson's new CD Beautiful World.

I think it's my favorite one of hers yet. We saw her play Saturday night and she was incredible, as she always is. :hi:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

49. Early Neil Young...

...the first three albums plus CSNY's "Deja Vu" and "Four Way Street."

:toast:

[CreekDog]

50. i saw her in concert if you can believe that

it was at a festival she was a part of. she lives nearby so her kids and husband were in the audience.

[BeachBaby]

57. I just love her voice. There's no mistaking her.

Carol King is my absolute favorite female vocalist. Would love to see both of them someday. :)

[sakabatou]

52. "The Inferno" by Dante

Yes, I'm listening to an audiobook.

[BeachBaby]

56. LOL. I call it din-din, too.

And when it's time to go out, I tell them it's time to "do business". :)
