What are you listening to right now?

[mvd]

Right now, Cindy Alexander at the Star Tomorrow website. "Idiot Child" is the song.

Recently I heard these albums at the full album listening parties:

Janet Jackson - 20 Y.O. B- (I keep thinking that each song has been done better before by her)

Evanescence - The Open Door A- or A (there's more of Amy's individual personality, which is a great thing)

Scissors Sisters - Ta Dah! C (it just seems outdated and hollow to me. And I like the Bee Gees' disco sound.)

And Elton John's The Captain And The Kid, which gets a solid A.

[BarenakedLady]

1. Hello, My Treacherous Friends

by Ok Go.

I think that sounds about right. LoL.

[MrCoffee]

2. I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass - Yo La Tengo's newest

[mvd]

7. I heard that recently

It's one the critics are very rightly praising IMO.. usually I dislike it more when they bash an album I think is great, but the indie praise can get excessive.

[mvd]

3. Hi!

Did you get your name from the Barenaked Ladies? I love that group and will be saving their new CD for Christmas.

[BarenakedLady]

12. Yes, I did.

I will be seeing them (again) next month in concert. Woot!

Oh, and I'm also normally nekkid.

:rofl:

Thanks for the link.

[huskerlaw]

19. Scissor Sisters - Ta Dah

I'm trying to "learn" it before going to their concert on Thursday night.

So far I'm not liking it as much as their last album, although "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" is very catchy.

[FoxOnTheRun]

20. to my computer fan

[MrCoffee]

21. post it to myspace, you'll sell 100,000 copies.

[idgiehkt]

22. the static in my headphones

I don't feel right if I don't have my headphones in when I'm on the computer. I'm alone, too, which makes it really really weird. I hate the way the speakers on this computer sound, really tinny. So I got hooked on the headphones and now if I don't have them in when I'm online it doesn't feel right. And if I listen to music just...out loud...I feel kind of naked and vulnerable and exposed. I'm getting weird in my old age.

[sakabatou]

24. Randi Rhodes on AAR

[bertha katzenengel]

25. A Screaming Child.

Not in pain, thank heavens. And certainly not in fun.

This child is standing in the middle of the street, screaming. Must be one of those "I didn't get my way" things.

:banghead: Just shoot me.

[ghostsofgiants]

29. Kinda what the bands I'm listening to sound like, actually.

:P

[LadyoftheRabbits]

26. Tiger Rag

And other assorted really old school music. :D

[ghostsofgiants]

27. Neon Blonde/The Blood Brothers/Head Wound City

Neon Blonde's "Chandeliers in the Savannah," The Blood Brothers' "Young Machetes" and "Crimes," and Head Wound City's self-titled album. Delightfully abrasive.

[mwdem]

28. My air conditioner running, again..

[Omphaloskepsis]

44. I'm listening to this now:

Cute is What We Aim For

Not really sure why I have this shit on my computer. I just can't deal with the thought of deleting it. I should be listening to Panic! At the Disco.

[ghostsofgiants]

45. I've never listened to them.

And Panic! At The Disco just don't do it for me.

[Omphaloskepsis]

46. Hopefully they don't "do it" for anyone.

The shit puts me to sleep.. That can be good. I have moved onto Dear Whoever. A little bit more energetic.

41. The Smiths - Cemetary Gates

[Bella Pisces]

42. Jose Feliciano's cover of "Light My Fire".

Was listening to Turin Brakes' JackInABox album before that.

[LeftyMom]

47. Some godawful new country power ballad my sister is playing too loud.

:puke:

[ghostsofgiants]

48. Ouch.

[LeftyMom]

49. I'm firing up the ipod as we type.

It's not so great for my ears to play one thing over another, but it beats listening to this shit.

[ghostsofgiants]

50. I know what you mean.

My roommate has a fondness for really bad classic rock. (And has a tendency to sing along.) My ability to drown that out is very useful in maintaining my sanity.

[LeftyMom]

51. Sis was singing 80's pop last night.

[haf216]

52. Breathe (2 am) - Anna Nalick

[Initech]

[ironflange]

54. I'm listening to Letterman interviewing. . .

. . .a ten year old girl who hyptonizes lizards.

Holy shit! She did it, the damn thing is stiff as a board! Now she's putting it in a pretty white dress. :rofl: Here's another one, it gets to ride a little horse. Jeez, I hope PETA doesn't get hold of this. :eyes:

If you're on the West Coast, be sure to catch this. The bit with Rupert was just plain stupid, but the Top Ten was excellent: "Top ten things you should ask yourself before eating a Burger King Quad Stacker."

[deadparrot]

55. Lately...

It's been the Jane Eyre OBC album...my favorite book in the world, and a beautiful musical. And James Barbour to boot. :loveya:



Right now, however, it's The Wedding Singer OBC album. Fun, fluffy 80s stuff.

[WCGreen]

56. Jon Langford.... Drugstore....

Sort of like a british Gratefull Dead....

And he uses the word pedantic in his song....

[swag]

59. He gave me a beer a couple years back at an art gallery opening here.

Very nice guy to a fawning fan. Great pioneering musician. I love his worst period best, though: the earliest Mekons.

Very good artist. I would love to own one of his pieces.

I wish I had me the works of the Three Johns.

From what era is that song of which you speak?

[WCGreen]

63. I don't know....

It came up on Pandora on a web they created from James McMurtry...

I just love that song...

[FredStembottom]

57. "Before a Word is Said"

by Allen Gowen, Phil Miller, Richard Sinclair and Trevor Tompkins.

WOW! Who knew Richard Sinclair could play like that!:applause:

[swag]

58. The dishwasher, the breath, the outside.

Soon there will be train whistles.

There's a jet taking off in the far distance of PDX.

Fingers clicking on keyboard.

Skin shifting on bedsheet.

Intake of breath

Human voice.

[SoCalDemGrrl]

65. Garden State Soundtrack.. love it

[mvd]

66. Using this thread one more time

Today, I heard Veruca Salt's Eight Arms To Hold You. It is an outstanding rock album! Evanescence has gotten better (the songs on The Open Door explode better with Amy's voice, with only a couple filler ballads holding the album back,) but I think Veruca Salt still has Evanescence beaten.

Eight Arms To Hold You: A+, The Open Door: A-

[mvd]

68. Also heard samples from..

The Lemonheads' self-titled CD: thumbsup!
Bonnie "Prince" Billy - The Letting Go: thumbsup!
Ash - Meltdown: I'm pretty sure thumbsup
The Cardigans - Super Extra Gravity: thumbsup!
Ellery - Lying Awake: thumbsup!
Sparklehorse - Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain: possibly a couple slow spots, but sounds like there's a lot of excellence here - thumbsup!
Beck - The Information: heard a couple whole songs - reserving judgment.
Ben Kweller - self-titled: maybe not innovative, but sounds good in the Rhett Miller mold.
Sugarland - heard "Want To" and liked it
The Killers - heard "When You Were Young" and liked it

[wildhorses]

67. Todd Snider~east nashville skyline

highly recommend this and all his works
