What are you guys/gals listening to tonight????

[aquaman]

I have been listening to Air America for hours but recently switched to some tunes. Presently listening to 16 Horsepower "Sackcloth 'n' Ashes." About to put on some old Neil Young and then some Iron and Wine and then Slayer.

1. Billy Bragg and Wilco . . .

"Mermaid Avenue, Vol I" CD. I recommend it highly. All the songs are based on lyrics and poetry by Woody Guthrie.

[aquaman]

2. That is one of my favorite cd's of all time........

brilliant.

[Heidi]

7. If you ever get a chance . . .

pick up Billy Bragg's CD titled "The International." It's sort of a collection of protest songs. Also brilliant.

[Maestro]

12. Wilco is awesome!

Nuff said.

[Radio_Lady]

3. Soft classical music -- KBPS, Portland, OR while getting ready for

the arrival of my son, daughter-in-law and two grandkids, ages 5 and 7, on Sunday.

I know it will be very hectic and noisy around here for the next several days.

It's like "the calm before the storm" because I'm kind of stressed out. I'm not the greatest hostess in the world, and the weather isn't looking too good for outdoor activities.

Whatever...

4. Blair and Catie Curtis...

http://www.blairpoetry.com and http://catiecurtis.com/ both excellent artists.

[K8-EEE]

5. The New Ry Cooder -- It's About Chavez Ravine (Dodger Stadium)

He is totally awesome. This is just as good as Buena Vista Social Club. Hope it becomes a documentary as well.

[madrchsod]

10. heard part of that on NPR last week

ry cooder is one of the best musicians of this generation. my fav is his african collaborations.

[EstimatedProphet]

6. 16HP ROCKS!

Sackcloth n ashes is a great album! Redneck Reel is my favorite song on it, but I do like them all!

[aquaman]

14. Wow, finally,

someone that actually knows who this band is or shall I say was since they recently broke up. I do like all of their songs, quite obsessed I am and have been for years.. Drove eight hours to see them on their last tour of the US. Intensive to say the least. PM me your address and I will burn you a copy of every cd that they have ever put out, if you don't have them of course.

[EstimatedProphet]

22. Cool!

Hey, if you have live stuff I'd love to get my hands on it! I heard a live version of Heel on the Shovel once that was mind-blowing! And I don't have any of their stuff live...

[aquaman]

23. Hook you up.......

PM me, tell me what albums that you have, and I will send you the rest.

[coloradodem2005]

8. In my car, Big Head Todd and the Mosters-Sister Sweetly.

Then I was talking to a neighbor, a mix of Stevie Wonder, Smoky Robinson, Sly and the Family Stone, etc. Then we shifted to Deep Purple. And just now a Ronnie Montrose CD that my neighbor burned for me.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

9. The Backstreet Boys ..........

:hide:

[aquaman]

15. Liar, Liar.......

[Crazy Guggenheim]

16. Pants on fire.

[Maestro]

17. I'm going to hurl.

Please tell me you are joking.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

19. Yeah I am. I'm actually listening to N'Sync .......

[Maestro]

21. OMFG!

That is it! I throwing up. :puke: ;)

[Maestro]

11. Early elecronica/hip_hop

Specifically, MC 900 Ft. Jesus, whom I bought albums from in the 80's, early Daft Punk, Kraftwerk, Yello, and some Funkstorung, Wumpscut, DJ Swamp and Tiesto.

[electricmonk]

34. Since you like Kraftwerk...

Check out this project a friend of mine is working on. http://receptorsmusic.com/

The main page is his various bands both past and present but he's putting out a Kraftwerk tribute album by various artists all done with 8 bit equipment. Things like Ataris and Gameboys, really cool stuff. Poke around his website he has mp3s and video downloads I'm sure you'll like some of it.

A photo I took at a recent show.

[Maestro]

38. Cool!

I'll check out the site.

[mcctatas]

13. The replay of the Al Franken show....

Funny Funny

[sundog]

18. Luna & Aimee Mann

[aquaman]

20. Love Aimee Mann....

[Maestro]

25. I remember her in the 80's.

Wasn't she a Playboy playmate at one time? I always thought she was hot; not that it has anything to do with her music. ;)

Edit: Stupid grammar errors.

[LastKnight]

24. new Foo Fighters CD. nt

[gmoney]

26. I only listen to...

I only ever listen to a Ukranian death metal band called "Urd" that's only available on 78-RPM vinyl, smuggled out of the Ukraine on the inside of hand-crafted coffins made from the last few Black Forest birdseye maple trees. It's like totally impossible to find, which is what makes it so cool... I paid $640 for their latest album, but I don't actually have a Ukranian 78-RPM player, but that's OK because it's like, Urd.

[Maestro]

29. Cool.

Whatever you have to do to listen to what you like. Do you like Dimmu Borgir?

[gmoney]

31. Dimmu Borgir? They are like SO American Idol...

They totally sold out with "Death Cult Armageddon" -- sounds like a fucking Britney Fox album. The only reason I know them at ALL is because my grandmother listens to it while she does her knitting.

Urd... and Urd alone, man. Seek it out, if you dare...

:wink:

[Maestro]

32. Funny!

Next time I am knitting I will check them out. ;)

[BartInPC]

27. new White Stripes album...

Haven't came to love all the new tracks, but there are some classics interspersed throughout the album.

[NeoTraitors]

28. New York Dolls

'7 Day Weekend' How can imperfection sound so perfect?

[Mojambo]

30. Advance copy of the New Pornographers album, Twin Cinema

It's pretty damn good.

It doesn't have the instant greatness feel of Electric Version and it might not have the long term appeal of Mass Romantic, but it is a fabulous Pop album.

[electricmonk]

33. Radio 4-Gotham

plus various Moloko tracks, Sleater-Kinney-The Woods, Slapshot-Back on the Map, and now I think it's bedtime.

[Seabiscuit]

35. My stomach growling

[ikojo]

36. The Chrome channel on XM

I think it's channel 83...all disco all the time....YEAH BABY!!!

[tjwmason]

37. Robert Carver/Carvor Mass 'Dum Sacrum Myterium' for 10 voices

It's great when they can't decide how to spell a composers name, oh and they don't know when he was born or died either (1484/5 - some point after 1568).

He's a little known Scottish composer, the only other Scottish composer I can think of is the still living James Macmillan.

The music really is at the height of complex renaissance polyphony, before the Council of Trent told them to calm down as wee bit.

The C.D. also has his motets "O Bone Jesu" (19 voices), and "Gaude Flore Virginali" (5 voices).

[ghostsofgiants]

39. Hot Water Music

And a bit of The Clash/Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros as well.
