What are you listening to?

[mjs1973]

Now I am listening to Willie and Johnny, "VH1 Storytellers"
Brian

I LOVE that CD!!

If you're a Johnny Cash fan, get the 5 disc box set Unearthed, and listen to all 5 discs straight through, from start to finish. I did that when I first got them right after his death. (Sometimes being stuck in a cubicle has it's advantages) It was an incredible listening experience. You can hear his voice change/deteriate as the disc's play on. It's kind of sad, but very touching at the same time. It's almost as if he is singing his own eulogy.

OK I'll show my age and my tilt here but to me the greatest album as far as a theme and needing to listen to the whole thing was Willie Nelson's "Redheaded Stranger". You have to have the whole album to appreciated it. Yeah "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" stands on it's own but you are missing so much if you don't know the whole album. I have it on vinyl and CD. Just call me Redneck Old Timer.

Huge fan of "old" country. One of my all time favorite albums is; Willie and Waylon- Clean shirt.

Don williams, Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash are also some of the "Old contry" that often finds their way to my stereo.In fact when my wife and I were married, at our reception party, our first song we danced to was Willie Nelson - I could get off on you.

Right now, I'm listening to some coworkers who don't have the common courtesy to be quiet while I'm surfing the web. Geez. Music wise, I've been listening to a lot of James McMurtry, Regina Spektor, Wilco, Calexico (heard of them, Rick?), lil'Audioslave for the drive home, and the most awesomest radio station ever, KGSR 107.1 (you can listen on the web if you want to hear what's playing in Austin.) I don't buy new CDs often, because I won't buy one unless I'm pretty sure the whole CD is good. The ultimate example is Bob Marley, Legend. That's my "if I was stranded on an island with only one CD" CD. Nevermind the issue of electricity...minor detail.

You know JM too?
Right On!
I turned Steve onto him.
I have seen him live three times now and have all of his CDs!
You should check out Steve's blog from yesterday he mentioned JM!
Brian

[Frog]

NPR jazz or blues on radio.
Sometimes classic rock.
If I put an album/cd on its usually Bob Dylan or TheThe.

Heck yeah! He plays here every Wed night at the Continental Club. I've seen him a couple of times. Once I was close enough to read the obscene stickers on his guitar. Austin has spoiled me like that. If I can't see what chords they're playing, it's not worth going.

I saw some photos Steve posted from one of his shows. Cool stuff.

Hmm, does BBC Radio 4 count?
OK it's not music (or what passes for it on Radio 1) but it's at least interesting.

[walterick]

Calexico (heard of them, Rick?),
Paul

Yes, I've heard of them... I don't know their music though. Why do you ask?


btw, right now = Sublime off 40 oz.

[Sushigaijin]

I've had Robyn Hitchcock Black snake diamond role and I often dream of trains on repeat for weeks. Yesterday I mixed it up with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club howl. I'm a stalwart album listener - I usually put them on repeat and listen to the several times, the nice thing is I only end up owning really good albums from really good bands - cuts down on the accumulated junk that builds up in a music collection. White light/white heat, the velvet underground, or the modern dance Pere Ubu have made appearences recently, as has Come on pilgrim by the Pixies. Except when my wife is in the room, then I drive her crazy by listening to The Band or America - she calls it my "old man music."

[WeirdPICS]

Dusty Springfield - " If you go away"

[JETA]

I'm so in love with Daughtry right now.

[livin4lax09]

"perfect blue buildings" by the counting crows at the moment.

linkin park's new album has been playing a fair amount though.

[adina]

Shakira. In English.

[poker]

NEYO: Because of You (Album)

[SmartWombat]

Sigur Ros, Jocelyn Pook, John Martin and REM today

[Jimmy B]

yes I still have my albums wich most have been most have been replaced by CD. Allmost all of my CDs have been put on external hard drive. At work I flip the stereo on with a 20GB Rio player and hit shuffle for 8 hours and the last hour I pick out a complete CD.
What folks are missing out on by downloading is the liner notes, for me it completes it all, who played what on what track, who engineered it and so on. On the other hand finding a version of Springsteens "Prove it all night" live from "78" is priceless, I cried when my tape of it got eaten.
Way late for this thread but I figure I would throw in 2 cents

'Best I Ever Had' - Vertical Horizon

[walterick]

"I wanna $#@! you like an animal."

[adina]

I love that CD. Not as much as Pretty Hate Machine, but I do love it.

I've got yahoo music videos.

[mjs1973]

The news on NPR.

[almo]

"I wanna $#@! you like an animal."

For normal people, that would be "Cloer", by Nine Inch Nails.

With teeth is the best thing they have done in forever. Maybe the best ever. I can listen to the whole thing, and that's sayng a lot for the kinda music it is.

[jorgemonkey]

Now I'm got on an interesting mix of music - "Today" by The Smashing Pumpkins (Who I will be seeing next month!!!!!!!)

And next on my list is "What is and What Should Never Be" by Led Zepplin. I love the live version on "How The West was Won"

[SmartWombat]

Pink Floyd : the Division Bell

[walterick]

Or even "Closer."
