5 questions for the Lounge

[mvd]

1. What music are you listening to right now or most recently?

My answer - A Fine Frenzy's full album listening party, where you can hear all of A Fine Frenzy's Bomb In A Birdcage! It is an absolute masterpiece, like One Cell In The Sea! More playful, energetic, and happier than One Cell In The Sea, it really keeps her music fresh. If you are expecting metal, there is none, but that's not A Fine Frenzy. Her sound is different here, but not forced. One thing I love about A Fine Frenzy is how she makes you feel everything she's feeling. Here you can listen:

[mvd]

8. Just to expand on my 1st answer

Here's some other stuff I've heard lately:

Ingrid Michaelson - Everybody - almost as brilliant as the A Fine Frenzy CD! Another MUST HAVE album of the year

samples from new Jet and Arctic Monkeys albums - I think I will pass on these artists yet again

new Katharine McPhee single "Had It All" - a more pop/rock Kat should be better. Anxious to hear the CD.

samples from Gary Go - another possibility of purchasing

"All The Way Up" by Emily Osment - this song just gets lost in the pop crowd IMO

"Dreams" by Brandi Carlile - more rockin' than her usual; new CD should be great!

[blue_onyx]

36. I'm not sure how I feel about Katharine's new song

I don't love it but I don't hate it either. I don't like her new look though. She looked better as a brunette

[Gormy Cuss]

9. Some answers

1) No music now, early Allman Bros a short while ago.

2)11:30

3)Quirky indies and off beat films. Most recent was "Sunshine Cleaning"

4)Desktops. I don't want to be able to carry it around with me everywhere I go.

5) Fall here isn't an interesting season. It's really just late summer. Now where the air gets crisp, the leaves snap into a mass of reds,oranges, yellows,and browns, fall is a great season.

[asdjrocky]

10. Great questions.

1.Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies... always

2.Between 10 and midnight. (I like early mornings to write and garden.)

4.Desktop for writing and laptop for music.

5.So happy. I live in a very hot city.

[Chan790]

11. Answers, five of them.

1.) Silversun Pickups-Panic Switch. I have a little crush on the bassist, she's hot and she can really play. That bassline is hard.

2.) When I fall asleep on the couch.

3.) Drama.

4.) Depends. I'm a gamer and laptops suck for gaming. OTOH, I really dig the portability of a laptop, it's a godsend for someone who is constantly writing something.

5.) Eh. I'm a spring fan; fall is better than summer though.

[unpossibles]

12. answers

1. last.fm - I think it was Antibalas.

1) Can't play music in my office anymore. It bothers others. But on the way to work I listened to Styxx's Grand Illusion. Haven't listened to it in a while.

2) Bedtime is around 10.

3) Comedies. I like to turn my brain off when I watch movies.

4) Right now, the only computer I have access to is my work desktop.

5) Doesn't matter. Pennsylvania has 4 distinct seasons. One leaves another is right behind.

[NJmaverick]

16. OK

1) Generally don't listen to music and can't remember the last music that I actually made an effort to listen to.

2) Usually between 9 and 11 depending on how behind I am on my sleep. 11 - 12 on weekends

18. Answers...

1. Mike Doughty--excellent voice. Samples on my music blog:http://marksmusicmemo.blogspot.com

2. Usually around midnight

3. Indie and foreign

4. Tied

5. I hate the fall. Not only does it mean winter's coming, but it brings back memories of raking up a ton of leaves when it was freezing cold outside.

[sarge43]

19. Mine

1. Classical. Have Vermont Public Radio's classical feed on right now.

2. Usually hit the rack between 10 to 11pm.

3. Can't limit to a particular genre. I like movies. The only ones I don't like are (1) navel gazing on the part of the writer/director/actors -- Sophia Coppola I'm talking to you, (2) phoned in performance -- Keanu, there are more words in the English lexicon than "Whoa", (3) idiot treatment --everyone involved with Pearl Harbor should shipped to Gitmo.

4. Desktops

5. New England autumns are wonders, but much too brief and wintah is lurking in the notches.

We still have about a month left. Summer doesn't end until Sept. 23. Summer is three months long just like every other season.

[mvd]

22. If you want to get technical, yes

But around Labor Day, many people consider summer over. The heat is passing, school is starting, the leaves are starting to change in some places, football is near..

[Deep13]

23. It's not a technicality. It's warm until October.

A fact does not become not a fact merely because of a social convention.

[mvd]

24. That is just not how I see it

Here, the major summer heat is over by October. This is just a casual Lounge question, not something to be analyzed by scientists or something.

[Redbear]

I've really gotten into Kings of Leon lately. http://www.kingsofleon.com/ We're really into U2, Coldplay, jazz, blues and soulful rock.

Recently, about 11 PM. Our local Fox-affiliate plays The Simpsons at 11 PM, so we usually go to bed watching The Simpsons.

Hard to say, as I differ from day to day. I've watched a lot of the "Frat Pack" lately- Step Brothers, 40 Year Old Virgin, Anchorman, Dewey Cox, etc...

I tend to use my laptop more, so I'll go with that. But I have a nice desktop, too.

5. Are you happy fall is right around the corner?
I love the fall. The coolness in the air. Wearing sweaters and boots- my favorites. I love the fall colors. We decorate with fall colors, leaves, and other traditional fall items beginning in late September all the way to the middle of December, when we switch to winter decorations.

5. Are you happy fall is right around the corner?
Fall isn't around the corner for me unless you count late March-April 2010 as being right around the corner, which I guess you could:) The next season coming up is spring, which I am looking forward to on some level but at the same time it also promises to be the prelude to a scorching summer and the prospect of devastating bushfires that could threaten our property so in that way no. I guess I'll be happy when fall IS right around the corner

[mvd]

32. Hi, RFK!

Thanks! I like atmospheric horrors when I watch horror movies. Gratuitous gore detracts from a film instead of adds to it IMO. BTW, I liked 17 Again. It's a charming movie.

Yes, you are right - you live in the southern hemisphere, so you will be going into spring. I am always anxious for summer to end. :hi:
