This is a thread I've seen in many forums. You simply post what song or album you are listening to at the moment you are posting. A few simple rules: if you make a new post, it must be about what you are listening too. Your post can include positive comments about what someone else is listening to, but no negative comments, please. So, here goes:


Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway (album)

[EasilyConfused]

The song that won't stop playing in my head right now--Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke." I listened to it once like a week ago and realized for the first time that it's (sort of) about Duke Ellington. Duh.

I haven't really been listening to any music lately. I've been occasionally hitting up Gaming FM, but not as frequently as a week ago. I guess I'm not in a music mood, but more of a gaming mood now. I'm actually playing games once again.

" I Was a Communist for the FBI" 195'0's radio show, starring Dana Andrews. ( He was in The Oxbow Incident with Henry Fonda) Very well done show, I highly recomend it. Based on the real life of Matt Cvetic

The voices in my head...

Oh, and I got the new REM CD today.

[DustCropper]

I've just discovered this site called Magnatune and I've been listening to a lot of their music lately. The stuff they play is great to listen to while studying (which I've been doing a lot of this past week, finals and all).

White Hot Odyssey is what I'm listening to. Awsome rockin' record this is. I strongly [URL=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00066VU8Y//ref=nosim/adventuregame-20[/url] it to anybody. I've been listening to it non-stop since I bought it.

Cool, that's a good album.
Have you been to any of their concerts recently?
Their finally arriving to Finland in January.


And the song I'm listening right now is:

White Widow - The Drifter

[Terabin]

I'm listening to the Zephyrs - The Buildings Aren't Going Anywhere

As you can tell from my signature and title under my name, I'm into these guys at the moment.

[Wormsie]

Transient's latest release at One. And The Mars Volta.

I do that. Lot more interesting conversations than with some of my work colleagues.

At the moment the only thing I'm listening to is the exceptionally loud cooling fan on my printer (Damn, I hate being in the office) but when I get home I might put on Paranoid by Black Sabbath.

[Ninja Dodo]

Louis Armstrong

I saw them in Berkeley a few months ago. It was a good show but I wished they'd played more old stuff, just because I didn't have the album yet so I didn't recognize many of the songs. Then again, I knew beforehand that they would probably not be playing many of the songs I wanted. I saw them twice on the Monster tour and once on the Up tour - those songs are quintessential REM to me (Up especially - that's my favorite of REM's albums). My sister, who went to the concert with me, had seen them on the Green tour so of course the songs she wanted were even older!

Listening to the album now, though, I recognize some of the stuff they played at the concert. I haven't listened to the whole thing through yet but so far I like it.

ps The concert was on a college campus so there were a fair number of college kids, but also a lot of people in their 20s - 40s... to be expected of fans of a band that's been around since the early 80s! As we were walking away after the show I overheard one of the college age kids say to another "That was a good show - but can you believe how many OLD people there were?" Sigh.

Heh heh hee...

At the moment my personal favourite is the Monster album.
You just can't beat What's the frequency Kenneth?

[Pappapisshu]

King Black Acid and the Womb Star Orchestra - Some Things Must Be Believed To Be Seen

A slow, but intense, psychedelic song. Reminds me somewhat of Pink Floyd. Develops into a 20 minute long jam. Wonderful.

Two p(o)ints to you!

I'm listening to Primordial (I have been doing so for some time now). They are sooo good. 8-)

I'm listening to Summer Time from Porgy and Bess. It just can't get any better than Leontyne Price singing a Gershwin song. I Got Plenty O' Nuttin' is next.

[TigerShard]

Listening to Afterglow Live, recorded from Sarah McLachlan's latest tour. I went to see her in concert this summer. I was in the fifth row, center. I couldn't believe how close I was to her!

I may have to leave the forum. Today on my MP3 player I was listening to "Finest Worksong" and thinking, whoa, REM is great, I wonder how Emily is liking that new REM album, but really (I thought), the quintessential REM will always be the stuff I listened to in h.s. and college--Document, Life's Rich Pageant, Green, [Which one am I missing?], and Automatic for the People[listened to it so many times while working on my college thesis that I can barely listen to it now.] Now I am going to go throw self off the old fogey bridge. . . .

Murmur?

[EasilyConfused]

Oops, didn't mean to kill the thread with a self-pitying nostalgia trip. I'm actually really interested in finding new music, especially since the last "what do you listen to" thread seemed to turn into a Mars Volta debate.

RIGHT THIS SECOND I'm listening to "Via Chicago" by Wilco. One of the sadder songs around. I'll probably listen to it twice.
