What are you listening to this weekend?

[mvd]

I've listed to:

Brandi Carlile - The Story (Very highly recommended! Can't get more beautiful than this. I like the mood-shifting rock guitar she's added)

Avril's The Best Damn Thing at MuchMusic.com (If you are a fan like me, you should definitely pick it up when it comes out next week! "Girlfriend" is catchy, but a little childish. Also, it wasn't really needed when there's a superior chanting song - the title track. "Runaway" pleasantly reminds me of her Let Go days. "I Can Do Better" propels marvelously. "Innocence" and "When You're Gone" show maturity in her songwriting. "Everybody Back But You" reminds me of early Blink 182, which is a compliment. The crunchy "Hot" is another highlight. I could do without the snooty "I Don't Have To Try," and while "Keep Holding On" sounds better at the end of an album, it still seems a bit like a filler choice for last song. "Contagious" has a nifty soft rock riff. While I wouldn't give this CD As like Let Go and Under My Skin, it still gets a very good B+!)

Finally, songs from Kate Voegele that are on her MySpace - wonderful stuff! Michelle Branch and Susan Cagle-like pop/rock mastery! I'll be buying her CD, which is out May 22.

1. Trying to listen to the entire Miles and Coltrane Columbia box set:

[Joe Fields]

30. Miles is definitely an acquired taste. While I appreciate his

abilities, I don't care for his music. I've really tried to listen to him and like him, but his style does nothing for me.

[GOPisEvil]

2. I bought the new Modest Mouse.

So far, it's quite good. Not the greatest cd in the world, but it's good.

[mvd]

5. Hi, GOPisEvil

Any others you happened to hear lately that you'd recommend? I know you're a big music lover like me. :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

7. I've been slacking on my new music lately.

The new Apples in Stereo is pretty good. :hi:

[mvd]

8. I'll give it a try

I've heard it's power pop, which is one of my favorite styles. :hi:

[Left Is Write]

3. Lots of Cheap Trick.

[ghostsofgiants]

4. Rancid's "And Out Come The Wolves" right now.

Takes me back to adolescence, haha.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

12. I need to get that one.

"Ruby Soho" and "Time Bomb" are catchy as fuck.

[ghostsofgiants]

13. The bass solo from "Maxwell Murder" is super fun.

"Ruby Soho" is what's playing right now actually, haha. The whole album is good.

[NightWatcher]

6. The Nightwatchman

it's Tom Morello, former guitarist from Rage Against the Machine.
He has a very low mellow tone, but sings very powerful protest music. His cd doesnt come out for a couple of weeks, so I'm having to catch it from his myspace page and website.

Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZnuGbCxN0o

11. I saw Muse live on Tuesday, so I've been listening to a lot of their stuff.

And man, they fucking rocked the house. One of the best shows I've been to this year by far!

[ghostsofgiants]

14. Nice!

They are damn good.

[mvd]

16. I'll be able to catch up on some CDs soon

I'm still thinking about getting Black Holes and Revelations.

[ghostsofgiants]

18. Origins of Symmetry is probably my fvaourite of theirs.

Black Holes and Revelations is probably my least favourite, though it's still pretty good.

[mvd]

23. I'll try to sample that one, too

Have a good night. Nice talking to you again. :hi:

[Initech]

28. Get it, it's a damn good CD.

Do you have Absolution by any chance? If you like that, you'll like BH&R.

[YDogg]

15. Four clocks ticking

[VenusRising]

17. I've been listening to my husband play bass.

He's a YouTube video making monster now. He's up to 17 videos playing different songs bass.

[ghostsofgiants]

19. That Rickenbacker is niiiice.

[VenusRising]

20. That's his other girl, Priscilla.

[ghostsofgiants]

21. I've developed a deep fondness for Rickenbackers over the past little while.

Gorgeous instruments.

[VenusRising]

22. I don't think he would play another bass even if

he had his pick of all the basses. He's had it since he was a teenager. Found it in a pawn shop on a lucky day and bought it just as someone was coming in for it.

[ghostsofgiants]

26. I'm jealous.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

24. Malloy at home

Dixie Chicks in the car.

[stuntcat]

27. Got Audioslave's "Revelations" and Bowie's "Diamond Dogs" for my

birthday, so been listening to both of them a lot this weekend.

[Joe Fields]

29. Cream, live at the Fillmore, 1968.

I'm so glad....

[achtung_circus]

31. Ray SIngs, Baisie Swings.

[mvd]

32. Count Basie - good mention

He was one of the favorites of my grandfather, so I've heard some of his stuff.

[achtung_circus]

38. Way to make me feel old.

[FarLeftRage]

33. Morphine

From their 1st CD to their last CD... you might say I am OD'ing on Morphine

[JitterbugPerfume]

34. Sara Brightman, Diva

she does a great job on Whiter Shade of Pale , but of course it doesn't touch Procul Harums

[Initech]

35. I bought a boatload of Grateful Dead albums last night

Got a box set that included:

Blues For Allah
Built To Last
Dead Set
From The Mars Hotel
Go To Heaven
In The Dark
Reckoning
Shakedown Street
Terrapin Station
Wake Of The Flood

12 discs, nearly 18 hours of music. I will be busy for a while!

[Arugula Latte]

36. Right now "Fools' Gold" by The Stone Roses ...

That song is nearly 10 minutes long ...

[femmocrat]

37. After viewing the PBS special on Tony Bennett on Friday, I ordered his new album of duets.

I'm just waiting for Amazon to send it. I love those old standards.

[GOPisEvil]

39. I can also recommend the new Grand Champeen cd.

Quite good, I think.
