Friday night music thread. What's blarin' through yer speakers?

[GOPisEvil]

Right now I've got The Long Winters' new cd "Putting The Days To Bed" playing. It's really, REALLY good. I recommend it.

:hi:

[Texasgal]

1. Ray Charles...

Mess around!

[bertha katzenengel]

[bertha katzenengel]

31. OMG

Have you ever heard Love Lives on by the NY gay mens Chorus???

:cry:

lost

[bertha katzenengel]

36. No. I'll look for it. Have you ever heard "Eulogy" by any chorus?

I was with a chorus for seven years; we performed that at a memorial concert. It killed me because Randy Shilts, an amazing reporter (and author: And The Band Played On, etc.) died of AIDS shortly before this concert. I sang the whole thing to him and by the end my cheeks were completely wet and my nose dripping (sorry).

Look up "Eulogy." Oh, god.

Here . . . maybe this will work:

39. Beautiful

I cried at that movie, I always will...
:hi:

lost

[Mojambo]

3. Tullycraft. n/t

[Ariana Celeste]

5. Metallica

...and justice for all

[timtom]

6. The Dixie Chicks

A group I may well have ignored, had it not been for the moment of truth uttered by Natalie Maines. Suddenly, I felt compelled to check them out.

My several wonderful years in Austin made me feel right at home with their music.

They are kick-ass musicians in every sense of the word.

I'm totally hooked.

[haf216]

15. I used to live near Austin,

I could always handle their music better that most country. I never thought about, but it must be the "Austin," connection.

[Hotler]

7. Blues!

Comcast Music choice channel #930 uninterrupted blues. Music with no commercials is the best.
edit to add, did I mention it was digital through my stereo.

[yvr girl]

8. Tennis?

I'm watching the US Open.

:hi:

[Anarcho-Socialist]

9. Goldfrapp n/t

[Briarius]

10. Yo-Yo Ma plays Ennio Morricone

although it will probably change soon since it's putting me to sleep...

[blondeatlast]

11. "Didn't It Blow Your Mind" on the Ipod; the anthology of great

old R&B from the Seventies.

"Backstabbers" just played, now it's "Natural High."

So goooood!

[SoyCat]

12. Sonny Landreth's Outward Bound

[lizziegrace]

13. Tonight, it's crickets and the passing trains

I'm going out to start a fire in the pit out back. It's cold here this evening and the sky is clear enough for star-gazing.

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

14. Cold? What's that?

It's cooled off here and tomorrow's high will still be 93. :(

Sounds like a nice night. :hi:

[haf216]

22. Must be nice!

It's still 83 here (at 8:30) and will be in the mid 90's tomorrow!

[haf216]

16. David Gray

I'm so hooked on The One I love right now.

[Mike03]

17. Sirius Satellite Radio

After a day of CNN on Sirius, I moved over to the Lime Channel ("Healthy Living with a Twist"). Needed a break from politics and even a break from Howard Stern.

[Dr Fate]

18. I'm previewing some sweet I-Tunes:

19. My latest purchase - Dream Theater's Score

[idgiehkt]

20. the last few songs I've listened to:

Nirvana Unplugged - Plateau, and Lake of Fire
Soul Asylum - Runaway Train
Marcy Playground - Sex and Candy
Mazzy Star - Fade Into You

Next is Creep by Radiohead and any other 90's era angst ridden songs I can drum up...maybe A Long December by Counting Crow...

[GOPisEvil]

21. I've now switched to Scott H. Biram's "Graveyard Shift".

If you like depression-era blues, this is your guy.

[Mutley]

23. My sister and BIL

are watching episodes of Lost on DVD. They have the volume up pretty loud.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

24. The Decemberists

"Picaresque" album. :7 :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

25. You have excellent taste!

I've seen them live. Very good show. They're playing here next month. I know it's on a weekday, but still...:dilemma:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

30. Oh wow!

I'd love to see them live... :bounce:

[mvd]

33. Don't forget they have a new one coming

It's called The Crane Wife - released October 3. Picaresque is great, so I'm anxious for it.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

37. Hey there!

Wow, thanks! I didn't know that was coming along... :bounce: :hi: :bounce:

[mvd]

40. You're welcome!

:hi:

[Guava Jelly]

26. Right now Al Green

"tired of being alone"
http://youtube.com/watch?v=lDXFXXud41Q

[hippywife]

27. The usual

[XNASA]

28. Iggy & Bowie on Dinah Shore in '77,

"Sister Midnight' and 'Funtime'.

B-)

[mvd]

29. I like that album, but I haven't gotten it yet

Right now - Aimee Mann (stuff from The Forgotten Arm)

I heard today:

Amy Millan - Honey From The Tombs (Very good solo effort)
The Weepies - Say I Am You (Best of 2006 contender - gets even better after repeated listens)
Beyonce - B'day (on full album listening party - it's good, but could have been a little catchier. B+.)
Justin Timberlake - FutureSex / LoveSounds (on full album listening party - it's terrible. I give it a D - tries to be sexy but completely fails. If I was a reviewer, I'd have my share of As/A+s and also Cs/Ds.)

Samples from:

STEFY - big thumbs up!

[mvd]

35. Yesterday, I heard Hem's Funnel Cloud

Some of the arrangements aren't quite as interesting as those on Rabbit Songs, but it's well worth buying.

[mvd]

45. I take that back

The first time I heard Hem's Funnel Cloud, it was at a full album listening party while I was surfing with some distractions.

Second time, on CD, it hit me just as much as Rabbit Songs did! That first song, We'll Meet Along The Way, is brilliantly out of the Simon and Garfunkel mold. The music is not as orchestrated on Funnel Cloud, which means you have to pay more attention to it.

[GOPisEvil]

42. Get it! Now! I'm series!

It's really good. :hi:

[mvd]

43. I'll put it on my wish list

I'd give it a grade of "B" from when I heard it at the full album listening party - but it might grow on me more. It's that kind of CD. :hi:

[lost-in-nj]

32. Alot of

somebody done somebody wrong songs.....

depressing

lost

[Aristus]

34. Well, it's not exactly blaring, but...

"The Secret Mozart". A new CD that recorded some of Mozart's early pieces for clavichord. Most of these pieces have been recorded on the piano instead. The producer wanted to hear the pieces the way Mozart would have played and heard them. Some of the pieces were played on the clavichord Mozart himself owned and which now rests in the Mozart Museum in Salzburg.

It's terrific listening. In its low register, the clavichord sounds like a Moog synthesizer! Kewl!

[WCGreen]

41. Pandora.... My James McMurty station....

Ryan Adams, Cake, Whiskey town.....

Great mix....

[jus_the_facts]

44. Hey David...long time no see...it's Saturday mornin' now.....

:hi: :*

[ghostsofgiants]

46. It's saturday afternoon now, but at the moment, My Chemical Romance...

Last night, however, I was listening to Paulson.
