What have you listened to today?

[mvd]

Haven't seen this topic, even in my searching.

I've heard stuff from:

Sofia Loell - not impressed; sounds like weaker version of the Corrs (Corrs are a favorite of mine)

Hilary Duff - Most Wanted: never liked any of the original songs, which are made worse - and the three new ones aren't anything special either

Hootie And The Blowfish - Looking for Lucky: it's not bad, but not quite as good as Cracked Rear View. Not sure I'll buy it.

Otherwise, haven't had much time for the CDs I own today.

1. The Clash - London Calling

Also listened to War by U2 in the morning. And a little Radiohead (OK Computer).

[JohnnyBoots]

18. Check out

Last Letter Home by the Dropkick Murphys and do the back story on it. Brought me to tears when I knew the story and heard it. Their latest aumis very subtly anti war, a great band if you don't know them. If you like the Clash, I am sure you will be a fan.

[liberalpragmatist]

22. I've not heard of them

I'm not actually a huge Clash fan, but I do enjoy London Calling. I've nver heard of Dropkick Murphys, but I'll check them out. Thanks!

[JohnnyBoots]

25. Boston working man punk with bagpipes, truly excellent stuff. And

they are all hard core Democrats to boot.

[Initech]

2. My playlist for today

Funkadelic - One Nation Under A Groove: Greatest Hits

A bunch of random Bob Marley songs

Frank Zappa - You Cant Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 2

Nile - Annhilation Of The Wicked

The Who - Who's Next

[Systematic Chaos]

3. I'm listening to The Beta Band right now.

I got a couple of their cds from the library because they looked interesting. They're pretty good. After this I might go with some Dream Theater or Elvis Costello.

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Bickering children and....Loretta Lynn.

:hi:

[Xipe Totec]

5. Believe it or not...

Estonian bagpipes (sounds like stoned pipers banging on a bag o' cats)

and Tuvan throat singing. If you don't know what it is, you DON'T want to know...

Just rummaging through my library of world's worst music to get even with a coworker

don't ask...

:evilgrin:

[Redstone]

30. I know what Tuvan throat music sound like, actually.

Pretty eerie stuff, especially the way they can keep it going with that "circular breathing" trick they do...

Redstone

[DS1]

6. A delicate blend of fucking idiots and White Zombie

[KG]

7. internet radio - KPIG from Freedom, CA

cool station.

[Kahuna]

8. Killer Queen..

Constantine, Jason Mraz and Shinedown are the stars of this CD. Listening to Shinedown singing, Tie Your Mother Down, right this minute.

[dannofoot]

39. Jason Mraz!

I'd never heard of him before July 14. Then, I saw him open for Alanis Morrisette.

Damn, he's great!

He played with one arm in a sling, just him with an acoustic guitar and simple percussion accompaniment. He could've done a lot more than his 40 minute opening set, no one would've cared...

[sundog]

9. the sound of the clock of my life ticking away

[Bluerthanblue]

10. pulled out an OLD cassette, and heard this once again... wow..

did it 'resonate' with me- especially NOW-
n

INFORMATION WARS

Give us twenty minutes and we'll give you the world
We bring good things to life
The news you need from people you can count on
Doing what we do best

The heartbeat of America
Your true voice
You're in good hands
Now more than ever before

And in the flickering light and the comforting glow
You get the world every night as a TV show
The latest spin on the shit we're in, blow by blow
And the more you watch, the less you know

Beyond the hundred million darkened living rooms
Out where the human ocean roars
Into the failing light, the generations go
Heading for the information wars

Do people really spend millions upon millions
To make us think we care about the planet
At the same time polluting and looting the only world we've got
So they can maximize their profit?
People do.

The heartbeat of America
Your true voice
For the life of your business
It's everywhere you want to be

And there's a front row seat for the precious few
The latest war as a pay-per-view
Famine and disaster right in front of you
And the more you watch, the less you do

Beyond the hundred million darkened living rooms
Out where the human ocean roars
Into the failing light, the generations go
Heading for the information wars

[Redstone]

26. What have I listened to? Complaints, whines, unsubstantiated

accusations, spleen-filled retorts, bullheaded optimism, cynical pessimism, unwarranted attacks, unorganized defenses, pandering pronouncements, bloviated blusterings, smarmy suck-ups, hesitant half-truths, bald-faced lies, unabashed unctuousness, and last but not least, gibbering gossip.

Redstone

[theotherbigjoeturner]

38. those are all good hardcore band names redstone.......

I saw the unwarrented attacks in dayton ohio in 82; they blew the circle jerks off the stage! "the bald faced lies".....Thats a good name !

ELP: Knife Edge
Libera: Twilight
Gentle Giant: Playing the Game
Rush: Analog Kid

Nobody has ever commented on my music when we do one of these "what are youlistening threads. Let's see if that changes tonight.

[theotherbigjoeturner]

37. My first post......

Well, this week I just got "GS I LOVE YOU 2" a sequel to the 1st one, all songs by asian(mostly japanese) garage rock acts in the early to mid 60's. Reigning Sound-Time bomb high school;the mummies-never been caught; Those are all CDs tho, the only real music Ive bought lately was at a yard sale for 1.00: Merle Haggard-Songs I love to sing-on 2 records. check out the used listings on amazon for cheap(er) cds, save a buck or 2. I really dig sirius, but they do seem to repeat the same"blocks"(3 hours) of music over and over. And over. For months. I think sooner or later XM and SIRIUS will merge, just like directtv and ussb did. And by then it will all be owned by murdoch anyway.

[eyepaddle]

40. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[alarimer]

32. Rodney Crowell's latest

The outsider. Very political. Don't get me started and Ignorance is the enemy are vrey cool.
The newest from the Bodeans (a live album) and Jimmie Dalew Gilmore's latest- Come on Back which is a collection of country standards.
