Dzihan & Kamien - Live in Vienna (from Couch Records)
EXCELLENT ALBUM!!!

Nellie McKay -- jazz/pop wunderkind described by one critic as "Doris Day meets Eminem." Wittiest wise-••• lyrics I've heard in a while, paired with really catchy melodies. Also, enjoying the last two Fountains of Wayne albums -- they're powerpoptastic!

Today is going to be a Lee Scratch Perry-day.

Amy Winehouse- 'frank'..

I'm kerning, for which I find I need something upbeat (to keep my brain active) but consistent (so I'm not distracted). Five Chumbawumba CDs in rotation does the trick.

I've been streaming Air America Radio for the past two weeks. I can't seem to get over having a lefty talk radio network on tap. Other than that, I find that I've been in the mood for the New Pornographers a lot recently.

streamed Air America Radio
Nosei Sakata
John Adams - London Chamber stuff
Bernstein with the New York philharmonic
And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead
Kid 606
Deadguy

All kinds of stuff, I have a post on my site with the details.

Not too interested in music these days, so I work in (relative) silence.

For the more repetitive font chores, like kerning, I'll put on some classical piano. Messiaen's "Vingt regards sur l'enfant Jesus" is preferred. It's very long...

Kill Bill, v1 Soundtrack - Various
Solid Steel presents The Herbaliser - Various, mixed by The Herbaliser

*hard to find, but if you like DJ Shadow/ trip-hop/ downtempo, it's a great find

Erm...today it's Neurosis The Sun that Never Sets, Ernst Krenek's Lamentatio Jeremiæ Prophetæ, and Big'n Cutthroat.

In the 'esoteric multitasking' category, I spent several days around Easter designing Thai letters while improving my ecclesiastical Latin by singing along with Gregorian chant CDs.

770 Radio K on the boom box.

I'm a house/techno/electronica fiend. Moreover, I find listening to 130 BPM at (nearly) full volume to be strangely soothing...

In my car, my Massive Attack mix with tracks and remixes from all four studio albums.

On the iPod, my Indie playlist with The Shins, The Decemberists, British Sea Power, Jets to Brazil, and Death Cab for Cutie.

- Motorhead 'Everything Louder Than Everyone Else'
- Beethoven 'Symphony no. 9' Berlin Philharmonic, Von Karajan Conducting
- Helmet 'Meantime'

I have been listening few music since my computer started crashing while handling corel draw and mp3 files together. However I usually listen things at least five years old. The last cd I bought was Manu Chao

Verdi, Puccini, and Mozart operas--actually all operas

World's End Girlfriend - You

One of the most beautiful melancholic tracks ever written.

Listen: http://www.leftofsix.com/typophile/you.mp3

Glenn Branca, Kim Hiorthoy, TV on the Radio, Petter Nordkvist, James Holden. Well, I try to be cool.

milton banana is doing it for me at the moment.

Today will be a mix of various dub. King Tubby, Lee Scratch, Prince Jammy and Linton Kwesi Johnson.

Hm, Friday. I think I'm feeling a bit Beck-ish this morning. Then maybe a splash of Homescience and Freezepop. Perhaps some Latin American electronica later on to finish out the afternoon.

Air America Radio (periodically, just for laughs)
old random Modest Mouse
Beethoven's 7th
Presidents of the United States of America II (I'm a patriot, what can I say;) )

>Modest Mouse

Listened to Good News the other day. I still don't think they've done better than the Lonesome Crowded West. What can I say...

These people are currently being played lots:

goldfinger, aimee mann, nofx, authority zero, rem

Yeah, Good News is a little too quirky/random. And in my haste to make joke about PUSA (my kids dig it though

for today:
Ol' Dirty Bastard - Return To The 36 Chambers
Super Numeri - Great Aviaries
Prefuse 73 - One Word Extinguisher
Erik Truffaz - Bending New Corners

Emiliana Torrini - Love in the Time of Science
Chet Baker - The Italian Sessions

& of course Radiohead, Hail to the Theif to be exact.
Thanks for the tip on Modest Mouse Nathan, I'll hafta pick that one up.

People, people, people.

No John, Paul, George or Ringo?
No Sir Elton? No Mr. Clapton?
No Neil? No Joni?
No Paul or Art? No James? No Carley?
No Freddie? No Ian?
No Roy?

Steve and Isaac: After a second read you are exempt from my "rant." :-)

M. Alyce Barker are you saying that we are 'wrong' for listening to something new(er)?
I don't have a problem with bashing people's tastes, I do have a problem with bashing people's time.

It's like the earlier thread about the way language is destroyed/deteriorating, language has always been destroyed, the previous generation will always hate the way youngsters use language. And the music they listen to. And the way they dress. And the amount of metal they choose to ram through their bodies.

BTW. I'm listening to 2Raumwohnung 'Kommt zusammen' now.

"M. Alyce Barker are you saying that we are 'wrong' for listening to something new(er)?"

Kenn, No. Sorry it read that way. I was teasing -- bashing anyone was not my intent. The happy face and quote marks around rant are supposed to mean I'm not serious; I fully expected to be teased back about being a music dinosaur, which I am.

You forgot Elvis!
Don't be sorry, it's way better than people saying 'I like all music' .

Yeah, you know, at the risk of getting myself in more trouble, never a huge Elvis fan. Ditto Bob Dylan. They were huge -- mega-important -- but not my cup of tea.

I am being exposed to some different (newer) music (as well as massive doses of NPR) by my new office mates so perhaps there's hope for me yet.

What about Brian, Alyce? ;-)

Speaking of music 'dinosaurs', I've been listening to some Rush lately (specially 'Moving Pictures'). And a few weeks ago I finally discovered PIL's 'Second Issue'. The 'Swan Lake' song is just great.

The Beach Boys remind me of my first date with my college boyfriend. Yes, add Brian to the list. (You do mean Wilson, right?)

Oh, and add Carlos and Phil to the list too. :-)

Yeah, Wilson.

(nevermind, edited)

>No Paul or Art? No James? No Carley?

Alyce, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only dinosaur around. Most of these youngsters are too hip for me.

I must confess that my popular music development was effectively arrested in the late 80s when I lived in an ashram. When I listen to anything with lyrics, it's most likely to be nostalgic. Plenty of James. Cat. Paul & Art.

Or Elvis (C, not P). Sometimes Sting Andy & Stewart. Or even David Jerry Tina & Chris (anyone remember them?).

More often than not, however, it'll be purely instrumental -- Wolfgang, Joseph, Ludwig. Or Antonin, Camille, Sergei.

In the afternoons, maybe Benny, Duke, Dizzy, Monk, Miles, Metheny. Or possibly Weather Report.

What can I say? Hopelessly anachronistic.
