Time for a "what are you listening to" thread

[JohnLocke]

"Where is the Love?" (Black Eyed Peas)

People killing, people dying
Children hurting, you hear them crying
If you practiced what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love, the love, the love?

[Initech]

1. Iron Maiden - Brave New World

4. A l ittle sick all things considered, but necessary

Tori Amos - Pancake


i'm not sure who's fooling who here
as i'm watching your decay
we both know you could deflate
a 7 hurricane
seems like you and your tribe
decided you'd rewrite the law
segregate the mind
from body , from soul

you give me yours
i'll give you mine
cause i can look your god
right in the eye
you give me yours
i'll give you mine
you used to look my god
right in the eye

i believe in defending
in what we once
stood for
it seems in vogue
to be a closet
misogynist homophobe

a change of course in
our direction
a dash of truth
spread thinly
like a flag
on a popstar
on a benzodiazapene

oh zion please
remove your glove
and dispel every
trace
of his spoken word
that has lodged
in my vortex

i'm not sure who's fooling who here
as i'm watching your decay
we both know you could deflate
a 7 hurricane
you could have spared
her - oh but no
messiahs need
people dying in their
name
messiahs need
people dying in their
name
you say "i ordered you a
pancake"

11. Did my previous mention of Tori put you in a mood?

[khashka]

14. Probably, but it's an easy mood to put me in.... n/t

Khash.

[xmas74]

17. I listened to all of Little Earthquakes earlier.

[khashka]

18. I was listening to Tales Of A Librarian

in the car. I actually kept driving to keep listening....

and this part in one song hit me and I listened to it again and again and maybe I'm crazy but it really meant something, it was real and raw:

"So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts, what's so amazing about really deep thoughts? Boy you'd best pray I bleed real soon. How's that thought for you?"

It's obvious what she was talking about. And I will never end up pregnant (or worrying about it). But something about the lyric. something about her voice - it just wasn't that simple....

It's why I love her. She's a fantastic musician and song writer, but most of all she makes me think! And the obvious answers are rarely the correct ones.....


Khash

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. John Cage's 4'32", which I've been listening to for almost 2 hours

I put it on "repeat".

Right now it's at the part with the refrigerator and the aquarium filter and the computer keys clicking.

[khashka]

15. And how many people do you think got that joke?

I'm impressed :)


Khash.

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. I bet not very many!

Now it's playing the part with the hard drive whirring and still has the computer key clicking.

Thanks! I'm glad that at least you got it.

:thumbsup:

[enigmatic]

21. I liked it when he ate an apple and got a 1000 bucks

He was one smart dude;)

[tjwmason]

28. A very good choice - I like to play that at the same time as another

piece of music, they compliment each other splendidly.

[BlueJazz]

6. Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini...Hey!..It's got a good beat.

..Also "The best of Paul Desmond"

[sakabatou]

7. Didn't they use that song for a coffee commercial?

[Splatter Phoenix]

8. George Bush's Themesong.

Assemblage 23 - Maps of Reality

"I suppose in your mind you believe you were right
That the matter doesn't rest heavy on your shoulders
But be careful of the ones you wish to indict
Blame is merely in the eye of the beholder

Perhaps the time is right to look yourself in the eye
Take inventory of the world you see around you
Look at the allegations you were quick to deny
And ask yourself if they could possibly be true

Distorted maps of reality
Are tearing us apart
Fan the flames of fallacy
And watch the truth depart
Belief is what you make of it
A creation of your own
If the outcome is unfit
Let your conscience take the blow

It's everybody else's fault besides your own
But perhaps the finger's pointing in the wrong direction
Consider that the root of all that you bemoan
Is pictured in the visage of your own reflection

I don't expect your view to change, my God, why should it?
You have yourself convinced that you can do no wrong
There's not a chance at all that you will ever admit
The cause of this is you and has been all along

Distorted lines become an arc become a circle
The words entwined until the very meaning is gone
The truth is something for which you can find no purpose
It's just a starting point to drape more lies upon

I wish you luck, I really do, because you'll need it
You can't avoid reality for too long
And everything collapses into waves of regret
When you finally understand that it was you who was wrong

Distorted maps of reality
Are tearing us apart
Fan the flames of fallacy
And watch the truth depart
Belief is what you make of it
A creation of your own
If the outcome is unfit
Let your conscience take the blow"

[Arkana]

9. Holiday--Green Day

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
The ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

(Hey!)
(Say, Hey!)

"The representative from California has the floor"

Zieg Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday

10. Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

24. Kicking one more time

Then a new thread can be created at a later date.

I managed to buy the Click Five, and I put Hope Partlow on my Amazon.com Wish List. Right now, I'm listening to Greatings From Imrie House by the Click Five. I didn't think I'd like them when I heard about them, but they really are addictive! I'm leaning towards an A/A- rating for the CD.

[BamaGirl]
