What are you listening to? (merged)

[JediTricks]

I dont care if your dad is henry rollins...you admitted to the world you listen to prince. LOL

"I dont care if you dont see the world like I do..."
Excel 1987
And if you can't recognize that Prince is a creative musician and a damned good guitar player, you are wearing blinders.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

I dont care if your dad is henry rollins...you admitted to the world you listen to prince. LOL
Nothing wrong with liking Prince. The guy has a lot of talent, and can sure play the guitar. I'm not really into his music though, but I do like some of his tunes.

Edit: Ah, looks like JT beat me to it with pretty much the same thing. Prince put on a pretty good show at the Super Bowl a year or two ago. Certainly better than the Janet Jackson incident anyway.

[FLORIDA COLLECTOR X]

The reference to the rap band using slayer is exactly why I hate rap, they have to steal other bands music to get noticed. no creativity...its all about the super ego and look at what I have...who cares...its primitive and unremarkable and delinquent and promotes crime.

[El Chuxter]

I listen to every bloody thing (except Beyonce :)). Okay, there's a bit more I won't listen to, but it's mostly the prefab pop you seem to be lumping everything in with.

Right now, "Soul of a Man" by Blind Willie Johnson. There's only one existing photo of the man. You don't get much less MTV than that.

JT, not to nitpick, but are you sure the slim box is the first version of Pandora's Box? I got it when it first came out, and I wouldn't describe the box as particularly slim. I know I've seen a much slimmer one since and, when I had to replace mine due to an unfortunate incident involving a drunken college roommate loaning it to someone else and basically destroying two of the discs :mad:, I got the small box that's the size of a 2-disc case.

I could be wrong about the slimmer version not being around first, though.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

The reference to the rap band using slayer is exactly why I hate rap, they have to steal other bands music to get noticed. no creativity...its all about the super ego and look at what I have...who cares...its primitive and unremarkable and delinquent and promotes crime.Yet one of the greatest bands of all time, Led Zeppelin, got famous with music they ripped off from others, mostly black blues players. And no one wanted to listen to "that n***er music" until Elvis started playing it.

I certainly see what you are saying about a lot of the rap, but just because they use samples and such doesn't mean there is no creativity. Putting together a sample heavy album like Paul's Boutique by The Beastie Boys is no easy feat. Plus, much of the creativity in rap is in the lyrics and the lyrical style. I tend not to care for the type of rap that is all about gangstas and hos, has too much of "Yeah. Uh.", or videos with all the rap cliches of cars, dope, bling, booty and boobs.

If you watch one of the documentaries about the origins of hip hop and rap, perhaps you'll have a different perspective. Listen to a song like "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five. If you want something more in line with your tastes, the Judgment Night soundtrack paired rappers with hard rock artists. Ice-T & Slayer did a pretty good song called "Disorder". Others on there that I like include Helmet & House of Pain - "Just Another Victim", Mudhoney & Sir Mix-a-Lot - "Freak Momma", and my favorite, Del the Funky Homosapien & Dinosaur Jr - "Missing Link".

[bigbarada]

MINISTRY
THRILL KILL CULT
SLAYER
ANGKOR WAT
PRONG
NITZER EBB
NAPALM DEATH
SUCIDAL TENDENCIES
BAD RELIGION


I've listened to all of these, but I can't say that I'm big fans of any of them. Except for Ministry, which I was really into back in 1992-93.

The only bands, along those lines, that I listen to somewhat regularly now would be:
Fear Factory
In Flames
Prick
Nightwish
Type O Negative

However, my tastes go through cycles and these days I've been (legally) downloading more mid-1990s alternative rock than anything else.

Recent MP3s I've purchased:
Foo Fighters - their entire debut album
Weezer - Pinkerton (full album, in fact I'm listening to it right now)
Semisonic - If I Run, Down in Flames and Across the Great Divide (all off of their 1996 album Great Divide)
The Killers - Spaceman (the only modern song I really like right now, awesome song too!)

I think next on my list is Spacehog: Resident Alien and Hum: You'd Prefer An Astronaut.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Oh yeah, I forgot to talk about Ministry. I remember when Psalm 69 was big. I've been thinking of getting a couple of tracks from that. Last year I was listening to the Retro-Active station on Comcast's Music Choice and they played an older new wavish Ministry song called "Revenge" that I kind of liked. I've had it sitting in a wish list ever since then.

[JediTricks]

KNAC.com metal feed, not sure what's playing right now, don't recognize it.


So, on my drive down to San Diego to meet Bobafrett after he donated a kidney to Tycho, I remembered how poorly the tapes I had for comic-con worked out on the drive, and got an MP3 player and tape deck adapter for the car. It's only a 1gb, I filled it up with Metallica, AC-DC, Megadeth, Judas Priest, and Dethklok. It was good, but not enough variety. So over the past 2 days, I've been going through my collection finding more driving music. Unfortunately, the first playlist I came up with filled the player to the brim after down-converting the Metallica to 128kb quality before I had even put any Rolling Stones in, so I decided to down-convert everything during sync to 64kbps, and was able to fit 31 hours, 448 songs, into the player with 100mb left over in storage space. This list has everything in my library that I consider playable for driving, not just metal or rock either. Everything from AC-DC to ZZ Top (cheesy, but true).



The reference to the rap band using slayer is exactly why I hate rap, they have to steal other bands music to get noticed. no creativity...its all about the super ego and look at what I have...who cares...its primitive and unremarkable and delinquent and promotes crime.Yeah, whereas punk rock is NOTHING like that. :rolleyes: :p Primative? A lot of it is. Promoting delinquencies and crime? How about violence against others, destruction of property, and doing heroin for starters. I'll take Public Enemy over The Exploited any day of the week, and I own material from both.


JT, not to nitpick, but are you sure the slim box is the first version of Pandora's Box? I got it when it first came out, and I wouldn't describe the box as particularly slim. I know I've seen a much slimmer one since and, when I had to replace mine due to an unfortunate incident involving a drunken college roommate loaning it to someone else and basically destroying two of the discs :mad:, I got the small box that's the size of a 2-disc case.No, that's not a narrow box set which is what I meant, that's a different shape altogether, standard jewel x2 depth, right? The Pandora's Box v1 I have is a tall cardboard box that's narrower than most box sets (not that I have the box anymore, lost it in a move, but the booklet is the same shape and outer design), and had 3 individual jewel cases and the aforementioned booklet within. I've stopped loaning out my CDs, it's become too difficult to replace them for that very reason, nobody's careful enough anymore. My poor Batman '89 Prince disc needs to be filled in so bad from scratches.

[JediTricks]

Snowblind, Black Sabbath

[El Chuxter]

Call me nuts, I prefer the Ace Frehley song by the same name.

I didn't realize that was the "slim box" you were talking about. I think I saw it in the smaller "book" type box a few years after that one was released.

[bigbarada]

Currently I'm really liking the song Starlight by Muse. :thumbsup:

[JediTricks]

Currently I'm really liking the song Starlight by Muse. :thumbsup:
That was one of the songs that played on the radio the first day I took the car out on my own, it felt very "important" so it's stuck with me for the last year and a half.


Currently, it's "Briefcase Full of Guts", Dethklok.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Snowblind, Black SabbathGood tune, though, from that album, I like "Supernaut" and "Changes" better.


Currently I'm really liking the song Starlight by Muse. :thumbsup:Another great tune. I bought that from iTunes, as well as a couple other Muse songs - "Time Is Running Out" and "Hysteria".

The 10 songs I've purchased from iTunes with the highest play count:

10. "Night on Fire" - VHS or Beta
9. "Edge of the Ocean" - Ivy
8. "Loser" - Beck
7. "One Armed Scissor" - At the Drive-In
6. "Into the Fire" - Sarah McLachlan
5. "The 1234" - The Start
4. "Smile Like You Mean It" - The Killers (listened to this one last night)
3. "Amos Moses" - Jerry Reed
2. "Rock 'n Roll Woman" - Buffalo Springfield
1. "Money City Maniacs" - Sloan

This is not necessarily reflective of which are my favorite, since I put my purchased songs on shuffle quite a bit, though I know I've often started listening with one of these tunes, except for "Into the Fire". I actually prefer the other two songs that I've purchased from that album - "Drawn to the Rhythm" and "Shelter".

[JediTricks]

Good tune, though, from that album, I like "Supernaut" and "Changes" better.I added Supernaut to my car playlist a couple days ago.


Playing now, Thunderstruck... oop, just changed to "What's Next to the Moon", both AC-DC. Damn good song.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

I added Supernaut to my car playlist a couple days ago.


Playing now, Thunderstruck... oop, just changed to "What's Next to the Moon", both AC-DC. Damn good song.Indeed, I like both of those. Speaking of What's Next to the Moon, have you heard the Mark Kozelek album What's Next to the Moon? It's all AC/DC covers, but done as slow, acoustic ballads. I first heard one of the songs on an internet radio station and didn't realize I was listening to an AC/DC song until I noticed that the lyrics sounded familiar.

[El Chuxter]

I'm a little surprised you'd have to download "Loser." Someone with a collection as extensive as yours, it seems odd you don't have Mellow Gold already.

[Mr. JabbaJohnL]

Currently I'm really liking the song Starlight by Muse. :thumbsup:
Weird, I just got this album from BestBuy.com tonight and listened to it a few hours ago. It's very, very good.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

I'm not necessarily a big fan of Beck. I remember when that song was new, and I liked it. However, I didn't really hear anything else from it, and didn't feel motivated to buy it based on that song alone. Odelay had two or three songs I had heard, and I think I got it through Columbia House. I've never really listened to it that much. Next time I heard him was on SNL for one of his next couple albums, and I didn't really like what he performed then. That was either Mutations or Seachange, or both. I just looked up the songs he performed on SNL in 1999 and 2003, and none of the sound clips grab my attention at the moment.

When he came out with Guerro, I was listening to the Music Choice alternative channel a lot, and I really liked "E-Pro", and the the "Missing" remix on Guerolito, "Heaven Hammer". The Information had a couple good songs that I heard a lot, and his performance on SNL in 2006 was really cool with the marionettes mimicking what the band was doing.

So, I have Odelay, and 5 Beck songs from iTunes:

"Loser"
"E-Pro"
"Heaven Hammer (Missing) [Air Remix]"
"Nausea"
"Think I'm In Love"

These days, I find it harder to get into entire albums if I haven't heard it first. Plus it is cheaper to just buy the songs I know I like than buy a full CD I rarely listen to. Maybe I have adult onset ADD.

[plasticfetish]

Trentemøller - "The Last Resort"

[El Chuxter]

You should try to track down "Lost Cause," "Rowboat," and "A**hole." Those are some good Beck tracks.

[Jedi_Master_Guyute]

You should try to track down "Lost Cause," "Rowboat," and "A**hole." Those are some good Beck tracks.

Odelay is easily my favorite Beck album. Its' so damn diverse!

You also might wanna check out "Pay No Mind," also off Mellow Gold. Really great track. I saw him live many years ago when he was touring for Midnight Vultures; it was a fantastic show.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

Currently I'm really liking the song Starlight by Muse. :thumbsup:This is one, even after its release, I still like. Currently, that song in that mode is "Human" by The Killers.

[Mr. JabbaJohnL]

I'm currently listening to Franz Ferdinand's first, self-titled album. I used to listen to this like a mofo when it came out. I still haven't gotten their latest one, though (their second one is quite good as well).

[sebillba]

I'm currently listening to Franz Ferdinand's first, self-titled album. I used to listen to this like a mofo when it came out. I still haven't gotten their latest one, though (their second one is quite good as well).

Get it, it's excellent. More dance-orientated than their previous stuff, with heavier bass and some Depeche Mode-ish electro. But it's still obviously their own unique style. I love it, and Ulysses is my favourite single for months.

But I'm not getting to listen to it as much as I'd like, as I've also got new releases from Morrissey and Lloyd Cole (my two favourite artists ever) this week.

[JediTricks]

My Wave, Soundgarden. Soundgarden is a band that I find is very hit-or-miss and swings hard from interesting to commercial.


Indeed, I like both of those. Speaking of What's Next to the Moon, have you heard the Mark Kozelek album What's Next to the Moon? It's all AC/DC covers, but done as slow, acoustic ballads. I first heard one of the songs on an internet radio station and didn't realize I was listening to an AC/DC song until I noticed that the lyrics sounded familiar.Haven't heard that, that sounds pretty interesting, and WNTTM is the right song to name it after, as just the suggestion of slowing it down seems like it'd work.

[JediTricks]

Shake Appeal, Iggy & the Stooges.

Oh, now it's SPG, The Exploited.

[figrin bran]

Master Guyute,

Have you been hearing Saeglopur at Target lately? Specifically on the tv monitors in the electronics section during a Prince of Persia video game ad. At most of my local Targets, electronics is near toys and so I always stop to listen as I'm searching the toy pegs.

[Jedi_Master_Guyute]

Master Guyute,

Have you been hearing Saeglopur at Target lately? Specifically on the tv monitors in the electronics section during a Prince of Persia video game ad. At most of my local Targets, electronics is near toys and so I always stop to listen as I'm searching the toy pegs.

lol I heard it too!!! I was in electronics a few months ago, I think around Christmas, and I heard the part right before it kicks from the piano to the drums, etc. It works really well with that commercial. What's funny is that my buddy Dave from Cali called me like two days later and the EXACT same thing happened to him. At Target, heard it and was drawn to it like a Siren. lol

I also noticed that Hoppipola is being used for I believe Planet Earth commercials on the wal-mart network. It's also used really well. :thumbsup:

[bobafrett]

I was trying to listen to a song by "3 Doors Down" when my stupid uptairs neighbor started stomping on her floor, then came down stairs and asked me to turn down my music. It totally zapped my mood. Currently listening to: NOTHING.

[Jedi_Master_Guyute]

I have some neighbors downstairs who tend to blare nothing but really awful, repetitive rap music. We've bonked heads about it on a few ocassions, but my main gripe is playing it at 4 in the morning, which he doesn't do anymore. During the day, I can just turn up my TV and drown it out.

So, I blare some fiesty, sassy salsa dancing stuff and or loud ambient icelandic rock. It sometimes helps.

[mtriv73]

The heights soundtrack: How do you talk to an angel? Thanksfully it's almost over.

[El Chuxter]

The rule of Soundgarden is the opposite of what you'd expect. They started out sucktastic, but got better as they became more commercial.

[Mr. JabbaJohnL]

Get it, it's excellent. More dance-orientated than their previous stuff, with heavier bass and some Depeche Mode-ish electro. But it's still obviously their own unique style. I love it, and Ulysses is my favourite single for months.
Good to know. I'll definitely get it when I have the chance.

As for loud neighbors, there's a room in the dorm that often plays extremely loud techno with the bass turned way, way up, so it hurts my head even after I close the door. Gah. I have no idea why anyone would need to listen to music that loudly.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

I was a part of a commercial for the high school video bulletin, where I modeled the Bob Dylan "toss the cards with words on 'em" clip, and Weird Al's "Bob" song of all palindromes was in the background; so I'm listening to Poodle Hat, with track 5 "Angry White Boy Polka" currently playing.

[El Chuxter]

Bad thing about Beck: he puts out albums more often than anyone except Ryan Adams.

Good thing: he's not as popular, so I've been able to get his last two albums at closing Circuit Cities for 50%+ off. :thumbsup:

[Mad Slanted Powers]

You should try to track down "Lost Cause," "Rowboat," and "A**hole." Those are some good Beck tracks.


Bad thing about Beck: he puts out albums more often than anyone except Ryan Adams.Actually, he hasn't released that many. He just seems to have released them in bunches at times. Two of the songs you listed there were from albums I hadn't heard of, as they were indie releases shortly after Mellow Gold. After Midnight Vultures, it was three years until Sea Change, and another three until Guero. He's had three releases since then, but one was just remixes of the Guero album.

"Lost Cause" was one of the songs he did on SNL. That is probably the time I watched and didn't care for it. Listening to the clip now, I guess it is all right. "A**hole" is okay, and "Rowboat" sounds a bit too twangy for me.

So, I listed my top 10 iTunes purchases with the most plays. Four of them were also among the first ten purchases I made.

Nirvana - "You Know You're Right"
Jonatha Brooke & The Story - "No Better"
The Start - "The 1234"
James Asher - "Earth Song"
Buffalo Springfield - "Rock 'n Roll Woman"
Jerry Reed - "Amos Moses"
Air - "Sexy Boy"
After The Fire - "Der Kommissar"
Hot Hot Heat - "Bandages"
The Killers - "Smile Like You Mean It"

[JediTricks]

Problem Child, AC/DC.


The rule of Soundgarden is the opposite of what you'd expect. They started out sucktastic, but got better as they became more commercial.
Examples?

[El Chuxter]

Have you listened to their stuff before Badmotorfinger? It's bad. Really bad. With the exception of "Big Dumb Sex," which is okay.

Badmotorfinger is quite good, Superunknown is better, and Down on the Upside is only slightly less good than Superunknown.

But as for me, I finally tracked down an illicit MP3 of the famous (or infamous) live version of "Are You Lonesome Tonight" where Elvis cracks a joke about the bald head on some dude in the audience and spends the rest of the song bursting out in fits of uncontrollable laughter. Needless to say, that track on repeat.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

Finishing up "Trouble in Paradise" [live version] from Huey Lewis & the News, from the HLatN: Greatest Hits CD. Now it's on "It's Alright."

[Jedi_Master_Guyute]

A couple things i'm listening to: William Elliot Whitmore's new disc, ANIMALS IN THE DARK, which is pretty fantastic so far. This guys voice is really terrific; I love his sound.

and been listening to the new U2 album, NO LINE ON THE HORIZON. I've listened to a few tracks and i'm really enjoying it so far; it has a nice mix of Joshua Tree meets Achtung Baby to it; "Magnificent" is my favorite track on the album so far. I'm enjoying it more than HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB. :thumbsup:

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Have you listened to their stuff before Badmotorfinger? It's bad. Really bad. With the exception of "Big Dumb Sex," which is okay.I just listened to clips from Ultramega OK and Louder Than Love, and a lot of it sounded all right. They even had a Grammy nomination for Ultramega OK. The first song on that one, "Flower", sounds pretty good, but I didn't care for much of the rest. Louder Than Love seems more consistent. Of the four big Seattle bands from that era (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden), Soundgarden was the one I was least into, and I still don't own anything from them except for what was on the Singles soundtrack. I might be inclined to get their greatest hits or some selected tracks someday.

[El Chuxter]

You can probably find Superunknown in a clearance bin at your local used CD store. It's one of the best albums of the 90s, no question.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

I was going to buy Badmotorfinger back in the day, but I missed my chance to get the SOMMS version. It had a Devo cover song!

[Rocketboy]

The last few days I've "rediscovered" the Garden State soundtrack.
Fantastic from beginning to end. Even the Coldplay song doesn't suck.

[JediTricks]

The Payback, James Brown.


Have you listened to their stuff before Badmotorfinger? It's bad. Really bad. With the exception of "Big Dumb Sex," which is okay.

Badmotorfinger is quite good, Superunknown is better, and Down on the Upside is only slightly less good than Superunknown.No, I haven't heard their earlier stuff.

I have Superunknown, don't care for it that much.

[El Chuxter]

You're the first person I've ever heard express that sentiment. Even people who don't like hard rock seem to like Superunknown.

Ah well, to each his own.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

After hearing Soul Coughing's "$300" on House last night, I listened to their album El Oso tonight. That is Spanish for "The Bear". Chux, aren't you the one that said bears make everything better?

Last night I also discovered that Shuttered Room, the first album by The Fixx, is now on iTunes. So, next time I purchase songs from there, I will get "Stand or Fall" and "Red Skies at Night". I have their greatest hits, but it has live versions of those songs instead. Before adding this album, the only versions of those songs on iTunes were either live or re-recorded versions. I'm guessing this was due to the fact that Shuttered Room was on a different label.

[JediTricks]

Psychoticbumpschool, Bootsy Collins. Part of my 3.2hr "funk" playlist.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

Was that its title in quotes? Or are you saying Mr. Collins is only "quote-unquote" funk? ;)

Heard two different Cake songs yesterday on the radio. When do you normally hear any Cake these days? (BTW, they were, of course, "The Distance" and "Never There" )

Heard two different Cake songs yesterday on the radio. When do you normally hear any Cake these days? (BTW, they were, of course, "The Distance" and "Never There" )I hear them on the TV every week because "Short Skirt Long Jacket" is the theme to Chuck. I guess I haven't heard them on the radio in a while, but I don't listen to the radio enough to hear a station that might play them.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Listening to my most recent iTunes purchases that I made tonight, which is heavy on the heavy metal.

A Perfect Circle - "Weak and Powerless"
Amber Brooke - "Confinement"
Dio - "Holy Diver"

Gimme Danger, Iggy & the Stooges. Just changed to Fansong, Dethklok.


Was that its title in quotes? Or are you saying Mr. Collins is only "quote-unquote" funk? ;)That was the title, I hadn't quote-titled the previous post I did either. Bootsy isn't quote-unquote funk, though he is quote-unquote hit-n-miss. :p

[JEDIpartner]

The "Spring Awakening" cast album, a collection of singles by Garou, Chris Isaak "Mr. Lucky" and a sampler of songs from the new Pet Shop Boys CD "Yes".

[Bel-Cam Jos]

Watchmen soundtrack (currently track 1, My Chemical Romance's cover of "Desolation Row" ), which is kind of like a downloaded playlist, with its wide range of musical genres.

[mtriv73]

The Best of Meco. Star Wars themes set to a disco beat.:thumbsup:

[JediTricks]

Broken, Beat & Scarred, followed by Escape, Metallica. I'm just playing all my Metallica at once. 47 songs, 5 hours.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

The Best of Meco. Star Wars themes set to a disco beat.:thumbsup:Every so often, I get the urge to pull that one out, too. Not lately, though.

[JediTricks]

No Values, Black Flag. Part of my 27 hour metal punk playlist that is all the stuff that isn't on my car's MP3 player.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Last night I listened to AC/DC - Flick of the Switch. That is one of my favorite AC/DC albums.

[JediTricks]

Postmortem, Slayer. I could have sworn I had this on the driving playlist, but considering how full that playlist is and how "grrr" music doesn't go well with my driving (I get aggressive :p), I probably cut it just before syncing.

[figrin bran]

Panic Switch - Silversun Pickups

If this track is any indication, the new album should be just as strong as Carnavas.

Hang You from the Heavens - the Dead Weather. another Jack White side project but sounds awfully like his primary band.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Hang You from the Heavens - the Dead Weather. another Jack White side project but sounds awfully like his primary band.

I got a couple songs from Carnavas ("Well Thought Out Twinkles" and "Lazy Eye"). I heard about the Dead Weather in an e-mail from iTunes, and that track sounded pretty good. I have all the White Stripes CD's, but have yet to get the Raconteurs discs.

[JediTricks]

Give It, Helmet. Followed by Infernal Death, Death.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

For the first time in ages, Jim Rome is actually on his own radio show when I'm home to listen to it. And acting professionally and less sarcastic (so far).

[mtriv73]

Since this is post 1984 for me, I feel the need to listen to the best Van Halen album ever. :DavidleeRocks:

[Blue2th]

Just got turned on to Muse. I'd heard them before with "Starlight" on the radio, but they didn't mention the artist (I hate that)

Recently saw the video that comes with the DVD of "Twilight" (my nieces are all ga-ga over that:rolleyes:) with Muse live doing "Super-massive Black Hole"

Very talented musicians. That Bassist is just bad-as*!! The guitarist has a Thermin (Jimmy Page) installed on his guitar to make some cool noises. Not too shabby with his chord technique either.

Haven't heard a band that good for a while. Modern, dreamy yet aggressive. Definitely not bubble-gum typical 90125, Gossip Girl theme type sounding band.
They should really take off now with the popular movie.

[JediTricks]

Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Metallica. On the "metal punk songs that didn't make it onto the driving playlist" playlist. :p

mtriv, I had to deactivate smilies for your last part to work.

[mtriv73]

I started the day off with Metallica Master of Puppets and now I'm listening to Eazy duz it by Easy-E.

[Mr. JabbaJohnL]

I finally got the third Franz Ferdinand CD the other day and am giving it its second listen-through. It is indeed really quite good.

[sebillba]

I finally got the third Franz Ferdinand CD the other day and am giving it its second listen-through. It is indeed really quite good.

Glad you got it, and like it. I'm still totally addicted to it, and think it's their best album yet.

[Mr. JabbaJohnL]

Glad you got it, and like it. I'm still totally addicted to it, and think it's their best album yet.
It didn't really grab me the first time like the others did (particularly the second one) but after hearing it again it is really quite interesting. They seem to be branching out more, which is cool; I love Lucid Dreams in particular for this reason.

[sebillba]

Yeah, it needs a few listens... at first I liked Lucid Dreams least, but now it's probably my favourite track after Ulysses.

[JediTricks]

Up for the Down Stroke, Parliament. Song, not album.

[El Chuxter]

I got rid of all my music and am only listening to "Tiptoe through the Tulips" by Tiny Tim from now on.

3. Fa-Fa-Fa-"Foolin'" Def Leppard
2. "Love Fool" The Cardigans
1. "It's Tricky" Run DMC

[Mad Slanted Powers]

BEL-CAM'S TOP TEN APRIL FOOL'S DAY-RELATED SONGS:
10. "Pieces Of April" 3 Dog Night
9. "Ship of Fools" The Doors

Yesterday I was looking at the "Fool" songs that I currently have in my iTunes library. I'll try and rank them.

11. "Dancin' Fool" - The Guess Who
10. "I'm A Fool" - Letters To Cleo
9. "Foolin' Yourself" - Aldo Nova

1. "Ship of Fools" - "World Party"

[El Chuxter]

But no "What a Fool Believes" or Zappa's "Dancin' Fool"?

And, BCJ, why leave out the obvious Soul Asylum number?

[Mad Slanted Powers]

But no "What a Fool Believes" or Zappa's "Dancin' Fool"?So far the only Doobie Brothers' songs I have are "Long Train Runnin'" and "Black Water", but "What a Fool Believes" is definitely one of their tunes that I have on the wish list.

My exposure to Zappa is pretty limited, so I've never gotten into his music. I think I saw a clip of that song someplace, and it didn't grab my attention. It is one of the few Zappa tunes I've actually heard though.

[JimJamBonds]

With Metallica going into the R&R Hall of Fame this weekend I've been listening to them hard and heavy over the last week or so.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

And, BCJ, why leave out the obvious Soul Asylum number?Notice the list was titled "April Fools-RELATED Songs." That one was incestuously related to the name itself. :eek:


With Metallica going into the R&R Hall of Fame this weekend I've been listening to them hard and heavy over the last week or so.Are they that Guitar Hero band? :rolleyes:

[JediTricks]

A View to a Kill, Duran Duran. Part of my 21 song, 70-minute James Bond playlist.

[mtriv73]

Judgement Night soundtrack. Really good music for the mood I'm in.:frus::twisted::evil::mad:

[JediTricks]

Harvester of Sorrow, Metallica. Taking a cue from JJB, I've got all 5 hours of my Metallica on shuffle mode, everything on Death Magnetic is super loud compared to the others (it was an Amazon.com download).

[El Chuxter]

Nice to see some love for the Judgment Night CD. That's one of the most underrated albums of the 90s. "Missing Link" is easily one of the best rap songs of all time.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Agreed. Back in '93, a friend gave me a tape that had some music from their band, Pearl Jam's Vs. (before it had been released I think), and some filler, that included three songs from the Judgment Night soundtrack. "Just Another Victim" by Helmet & House of Pain, "Freak Momma" by Mudhoney & Sir Mix-a-Lot, and "Missing Link" by Del the Funky Homosapien & Dinosaur Jr. I now have purchased "Just Another Victim", "Missing Link" and the Slayer & Ice-T song "Disorder". "Missing Link" is my favorite of the bunch.

[bobafrett]

Broken, Beat & Scarred, followed by Escape, Metallica. I'm just playing all my Metallica at once. 47 songs, 5 hours.

Right on! :thumbsup:

[Ji'dai]

I wanted to hear "du hast" by Rammstein again but apparently I never bought any of their albums. I had forgotten that the track is on the Matrix soundtrack, so I've been listening to that CD in the car for the last couple weeks. It's also got songs by Marilyn Manson, Prodigy, Rob Zombie, and Rage Against the Machine, among others.

[DarthQuack]

I'm listening to Jim Nantz talk quietly about golfers during The Masters.

I liked "Dance Hall Days" better, and even bought the song from iTunes. There was a video show weekday afternoons on CBC back in the 80's called Video Hits, and they used "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" as their theme at one point.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

I liked "Dance Hall Days" better,Me, too. And "To Live and Die in LA" is cool, as well.

[JediTricks]

"Got Me Under Pressure", ZZ Top, followed by "Taste the Pain", RHCP.


Thats it, 5 hours?!?!? I have 242 songs and 24.7 hours ripped to my computer and that isn't even everything!I won't buy "live" Metallica or anything between the black album and the new album. So the only thing I'm missing is Kill 'Em All.

[JimJamBonds]

I found a crusty Best of The 80's cd at Wal Mart the other day. It was only $2.50 since it was repacked. While most of the 'good' songs I already had the real gem (and the reason I bought it) is Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins.

My most recent one has: "In the 80s they changed America's favorite cola recipe, but we've kept the original ingredients of all your favorite 80s hits on this disc." Totally awesome!

[Blue2th]

The cover band I'm in is picking these hard songs to do. I'm cheap, so I don't want to pay for a $1 download, I go to Youtube and get them there.

We learned:

Possum Kingdom - The Toadies (this is kinda creepy-"do you want to die" -is this some kind of serial killer song?)
Handle With Care - The Traveling Wilbury's (I call the guys "The Traveling Beer Bellies" lol they like their beer)

Next song is:
Very Best Years - The Grays (this one is tough) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtkgE4h_EKw

[bigbarada]

I discovered a new band yesterday called The Airborne Toxic Event, so I've been listening to a lot of their songs. Amazing band and the lead singer's voice reminds me a lot of Echo and the Bunnymen.

I also really like the song I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked by Ida Maria.

[JediTricks]

The Call of Ktulu, Metallica.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Possum Kingdom - The Toadies (this is kinda creepy-"do you want to die" -is this some kind of serial killer song?)Speaking of serial killers, I've been listening to the Swamp Zombies lately. They have a song called "Unemployed" that references a bunch of infamous serial killers (I guess by definition, they'd all be infamous). The album closes with "Ballad of Ed Gein", who probably was an inspiration for the guy in Silence of the Lambs that made the skin suit.

I heard three songs from their album A Frenzy of Music and Action! back in the summer of 1992. I finally bought the CD last year.

[JediTricks]

Chasin' the Trane, John Coltrane.

Amazon replaced my corrupted track of Metallica's Suicide & Redemption this morning, I listened to that and it was too heavy for the start of the day so I had to go jazz to bring it back down.

[JimJamBonds]

I mix cd that has all sorts of stuff on it. No one style or band.

Kiss Me Through the Phone - Soulja Boy

I really wanna make a good power hour CD, any ideas? Thought about making one strictly with TV show themes.....could be pretty fun.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Kiss Me Through the Phone - Soulja Boy

I really wanna make a good power hour CD, any ideas? Thought about making one strictly with TV show themes.....could be pretty fun.

Right off I can think of a few songs I have that are themes to TV shows - "Teardrop" by Massive Attack (House), "Here With Me" by Dido (Roswell) and all those Who songs for the C.S.I. shows if you want more power ("Won't Get Fooled Again", "Baba O'Riley", and "Who Are You").

You should kick off your power hour CD with "Let There Be Rock" by AC/DC. Or maybe save it for the end.

[JediTricks]

Fire, The Ohio Players. Now it's Up for the Down Stroke, Parliament.

Still reeling from my two Flight of the Conchords concerts last week, so I was just now listening to their stuff.

Now onto Explosions in the sky, "Catastrophe and the cure" which is really fantastic. :thumbsup:

[Mad Slanted Powers]

I guess BMG Music is transforming into something else, so I decided to take advantage of the 6 free CD's I have had coming to me for a while. So I'm in the process of listening to those this week. Mostly old stuff.

ABBA - Gold - Greatest Hits
The Very Best of the Beach Boys - Sounds of Summer
Chuck Berry - The Definitive Collection
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits
Ima Robot - self titled
The Parlor Mob - And You Were A Crow

When I first heard The Parlor Mob, I thought it was Wolfmother. So, if you like them, The White Stripes, or Led Zeppelin, they might be worth checking out.

[El Chuxter]

Is the Tom Petty the original release, or the "remastered" version that adds "Stop Dragging My Heart Around"?

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Is the Tom Petty the original release, or the "remastered" version that adds "Stop Dragging My Heart Around"?

It has that song. It says ©2008 on the back. Looks like this is the one I have (http://www.amazon.com/Greatest-Hits-Tom-Petty-Heartbreakers/dp/B0011V7P0A/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1241133152&sr=8-1).

I played HLatN's "Perfect World" for my sophomores this week (relating lyrics to Lord of the Flies), and some students described its style as "polka like," "country and rock," and "nice." Hmm. Really?

[JediTricks]

Higher Ground, RHCP. The peppers know how to revisit this sort of thing, their version of the Ohio Players' Love Rollercoaster is actually better than the original.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Higher Ground, RHCP. The peppers know how to revisit this sort of thing, their version of the Ohio Players' Love Rollercoaster is actually better than the original.They also did a good cover of "Search & Destroy." Parts of "By the Way" sounds like they borrowed from Fugazi's "Brendan #1."

[JediTricks]

Soul Suckin' Jerk, Beck. "Rockin' tha mic like a mouldy crouton!" Awesome lyric.

They covered Search & Destroy? Wow, I'm listening to it now on youtube, it starts great. Damn, Kiedis is crushing it! Not the attitude of Iggy Pop, but dang good work none the less. Mix is funky, too much crash cymbal, but man, they are nailing it. HOLY CRAP I OWNED THIS! Son of a gun, that Beavis & Butt-head part at the end, that's from The Beavis & Butt-Head Experience, I owned that at one time on... cassette, I think. A really funny album actually. I can't believe I forgot that tune was on there. I just bought it on CD from Amazon. And on my music, Higher Ground came up from the Peppers. Man, the RHCP can really kick arse.

[El Chuxter]

The Beavis & Butt-Head Experience is one of those rare soundtracks where not a single track is actually from the show, but somehow it's a better collection than the show deserves. (Nothing against B&B, that was just a really good collection. Even Jackyl didn't suck on it.)

[Darth Nobody]

New Hatebreed-"For the Lions" Tribute album to all of the great metal and punk bands that infleunced them!!!!!!!!!

[mtriv73]

Pendulum-In Silico Great album.

The Boomtown Rats had an album called The Fine Art of Surfacing. Was the art perfected when her CD came out so that it no longer had to be specified?

Lilly Allen "The Fear"
Great song, cool lyrics. She's got that cute thick Brit accent. :love:
This song is better than the rest her material. Kinda got that new wave atmospheric feel to it.
I'm liking it a lot till they wear it out on the radio.

I used to hate Lilly Allen, with her crappy pseudo-ska chav-pop, but I really warmed to her with The Fear, it's a great pop record. However, I absolutely love her new single, "Not Fair" - it's got a tongue-in-cheek country twang (with a '70s style video to match), and the lyrics are hilarious.

Check it out (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUYaosyR4bE).

Either wide awake or way too drunk

even though that is about as far away as possible from what I'm like.

- Curious George Jack Johnson soundtrack
- Best of Matchbox Twenty
- Greatest Hits of John Johnny Cougar Mellancamp Griffey Jr. (2 discs)
- Old School Hip Hop compilation

Been hooked on Chickenfoot since I saw them at the Middle East in Cambridge last month. This is the new band with Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony (both of Van Halen/Hagar fame), Joe Satriani and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer). Their debut album rocks (released last week). Can't wait to see them again when they come back to Boston in August. I have front row center seats and backstage passes.

[El Chuxter]

Why does it not come as a surprise that someone with the handle "waboritas" digs Chickenfoot? :thumbsup:

[Bel-Cam Jos]

Won (from Austria, how appropriate) an auction for the Predator soundtrack. I've always liked listening to it in between the dialogue of the movie. And track #27 has part of the most famous bad-word quote from the film as its title. :eek: It'll make a good background for me when I'm trying to get papers graded faster! :D

[Mad Slanted Powers]

I've probably mentioned Astreaux World before. It is an internet station that plays ambient, electronic, new age and space music. I've been listening to it a lot again lately. The guy who created the station passed away at the end of last year. Now, another fan of the station and member of the Astreaux World forums has taken it over and is keeping it going as an ongoing tribute to the guy. So, the station has been updated for the first time in a long time, with lots of music being added.

I first started listening to the station back in 2002. At the time, I was into collecting the Star Wars CCG cards. I'd go to town and buy some, and then come home and sort through them while listening to Astreaux World.

[JediTricks]

Star Trek First Contact End Credits, Jerry Goldsmith. A lot of end-credits tunes are great sources of music compilations, I've been listening to more and more lately. Raiders of the Lost Ark is another one.

[El Chuxter]

Scream - Michael Jackson.
Just 'cause he's dead doesn't mean you can rob his sister of half-credit. :p

Have you heard the "Naughty Main Mix" of Scream that features Naughty By Nature? It's one of the very, very rare occasions a hip-hop remix with guest rappers is worth listening to.

[JediTricks]

The ID3 tag doesn't list her, so I didn't think about it. No, I haven't heard that one. Naughty by Nature, there's a name I've not heard in a long time.

Now it's Billy Jean, MJ.

[JediTricks]

Bad, preceded by Beat It and PYT. The rest will be Smooth Criminal, The Way You Make Me Feel, Black or White, Rock with You, Dirty Diana, Man in the Mirror, Thriller, Jam, Remember the Time, Don't Stop till you get Enough, Wanna be Startin Somethin, and Another Part of Me. The last song in the playlist is "Gone Too Soon", the system chose it, I'm actually not going to play it because I don't really like slower MJ, but it's an ironic choice.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

Well, the last MJ song I heard tonight was "Don't Stop..." Have been several on various radio stations. I only own a cassette of Thriller.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

Another of those Target compilations (by the original artists! ), 90s Lite, with "One of Us" by Joan "Don't Call Me Ozzy's Daughter" Osborne currently played. I did not know there was a creepy different intro than the version played on the radio. :justasluglikeoneofus:

[El Chuxter]

It's a sample of an old gospel song called either "Heaven's Aeroplane" or "The Airplane Ride," depending on which source you believe. The album is very, very good. She sort of got pigeonholed as an alternative artist based on "One of Us," but she's definitely more of a blues/soul gal in the same vein as Janis Joplin.

[JediTricks]

Rescue from Cloud City / Hyperspace, ESB SE soundtrack. I put on my SW big mix playlist in honor of 12" Vader.

TV Dinners, ZZ Top. And I haven't eaten all day, so it's reminding why I shouldn't bother. :p

[Darth Duranium]

I heard Jackson's "PYT" on the radio for the first time in years yesterday... "I want to love you, pretty young thing" came off as somewhat disturbing to me.:ninja:

I'm listening to a lot of new music at the moment... there are bands out there making good new music, once you remove the Britneys and Lady Gagas (shudder).

- Phoenix' new cd

- Royksopp's new cd

- Metric's new cd

- The Prodigy's new cd

- "Enterprising Young Men" from the new Trek soundtrack (title theme)

- some older Calexico cds, too

PYT was most disturbing when Reagan recited some of it in the White House during MJ's visit. :p

I'm jamming to my 200-song Billy Ocean playlist. It's way too short to fully appreciate the masterful artistic genius behind such classics of musical achievement as "When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going." Can you imagine how badly Jewel of the Nile would've stunk without that song? I mean, without that stirring theme song, Kathleen Turner might never have been noticed, and someone else would've been cast in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

[LusiferSam]

Album: This is Somewhere by Grace Potter and Nocturnals. Its a couple of years old, but a good album Grace Potter as great voice and Scott Tournet is a great guitar player.

Song: A Looking in View by Alice in Chains. New Alice in Chains! Yea! The band as a new lead singer and a new album coming out this fall. William DuVall, the new guy, has a great voice. It's not the same as Layne Staley's, but he harmonizes with Jerry Cantrell that same way. So there's no mistaking who this band is. I'm so excited.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

"It's a Mistake" by Men at Work. It seems "peppy," but if you listen, it's pretty sarcastic and ironic. I like it.

[scruffziller]

Behemoth: a Blackened Death Metal Band from Poland
Dimmur Borgir: Black Metal from Norway

"The Killer Anna" by Medic Droid. The band name pulled me in and somehow the song "infected' me.

[DarkArtist]

Eddie Money's greatest hits. After seeing him yesterday I can't get Two Tickets To Paradise out of my head.

[scruffziller]

After seeing him yesterday I can't get Two Tickets To Paradise out of my head.

Oh God..... I feel sorry for you....:(

[Mad Slanted Powers]

That's a good tune. I actually bought it from iTunes.

[JediTricks]

YMCA, The Village People. I ran out of songs on my Funk playlist so I put it on my "Random Stuff" playlist and picked this one to start it off because it's a mood-changer.

Now it's "Catholic School Girls Rule", RHCP, a fun but not challenging tune. Oh, now it's "I love to see you smile", Homer & Marge Simpson, from The Simpsons Sing the Blues. That random enough for y'all? :D

Wait, now it's Soul Suckin' Jerk, Beck. That's where I get my signline, "Rockin' the town like a mouldy crouton!" - Beck

Well first of all I got a free vip pass thanks to some friends of mine whose company they work for help sponsored the show. And secondly, while the cheese factor was super high I gotta say that Eddie Money not only has a fair amount of good songs he put on a decent show as well.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

Ironic, and not in Alanis Morrisette's dictionary, that I am at home by myself and listening to "Human Touch" by Bruce; while posting on an Internet forums board. :D

[Qui-Long Gone]

^a little toooo ironic....I really do think....

[Jedi_Master_Guyute]

The two new Radiohead tracks that came out this week: "These are my Twisted Words" that i'm not too impressed with. It's essentially 3 minutes of music that doesn't vary much or do anything with some vocals tossed in. I also bought the track released for charity, "Harry Patch (In Memory Of)" but I only listened to it once in passing and liked it. I'll listen to it again to get a better feel of it. :thumbsup:

I actually liked "Twisted Words" a bit better than the "Harry Patch".

[Bel-Cam Jos]

"Over My Head" from Fleetwood Mac's Very Best of... CD set.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

"Over My Head" from Fleetwood Mac's Very Best of... CD set.Do you play that when your students don't understand something?

[Bel-Cam Jos]

Actually, I just collected their ceiling hangers of literary terms this week, so when they don't understand or remember those figurative language devices, the answers are literally "over their heads." :D :anditsurefeelsnice:

[JimJamBonds]

Heart's On Fire right now from Rocky IV, before that Burning Heart also from Rocky IV, next will be On The Dark Side from Eddie And The Cruisers.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

Those two Rocky songs were also B-sides for Indiana Jones & Temple of Doom. :p :twisted:

[JimJamBonds]

Well you can add She's Like The Wind to the above list as well!

Heartbreaker, Led Zeppelin.

Adam Lambert's studio tracks from Idol

[Qui-Long Gone]

Irish drinking music!

[Bel-Cam Jos]

I had forgotten the LOOOOOONG songs on Genesis' Invisible Touch CD... 8 tracks, and 45+ minutes.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

The soundtrack to That Thing You Do! is always a nice pick-me-up CD.

[sebillba]

The Smiths - This Night Has Opened My Eyes

Best band.

Welcome to the forum - you have impeccable taste. :thumbsup:

[JediTricks]

Sarlacc Sentence, ROTJ SE soundtrack. I just burned through the first 2+ hours of my SW playlist working on the Q&A.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

It was at school just before I left (waiting for a student to take a quiz he'd been absent for) listening to Best of New Order, leaving before the CD ended, on the "True Faith" track.

2 Minutes To Midnight - Iron Maiden

[LusiferSam]

U2. All of U2 (or least as much as I own). I made a giant playlist of every album, single, and compilation I have. It's in chronological order of release with the live shows inserted in when they were recorded rather than released. It's more than 36 hours of music. All the good (The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby) , the bad (Pop) and the ugly (the Passengers album) from these guys.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

"One More Minute," among my favorite Weird Al songs, off his "new" Essential double CD... but now it's moved onto "Like a Surgeon," among my least faves.

[JimJamBonds]

Metallica's version of Remember Tomorrow from the Iron Maiden tribute album: Maiden Heaven.

[Bel-Cam Jos]

Debbie Gibson's "Shake Your Love," because I'm too lazy to change the station. :tired:

[Jedi_Master_Guyute]

Going to see Phish tonight for their tour opening in Detroit, so i'm listening to some Phish while working on my DL course syllabus/work for next semester. After the hail/tornado/thunderstorm infested show of theirs I saw in Indiana in june, i'm looking forward to this one. :thumbsup:

I'd love to see U2 up in East Lansing, but I can't really do the ticket prices. Dammit! :upset:

After the hail/tornado/thunderstorm infested show of theirs I saw in Indiana in june, i'm looking forward to this one. :thumbsup:The only Phish tune in my library is "Character Zero." I recently came across some Youtube videos of them performing the entire Talking Heads Remain in Light album. Sounded okay, but on one version of "Crosseyed and Painless" he screwed up on the lyrics at the beginning.

As for the Talking Heads version of "Crosseyed and Painless" live, check out this performance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g8lFmsCXhg) from 1980. I sometimes have buffering issues on it though, so it might work best to pause and let it load a bit first.

[JimJamBonds]

Very cool JMG, I saw Phish about 10-11 years ago and while I wasn't that familiar with their catalog I thought it was a good show.

[DarkArtist]

sadly the sounds of my mother-in-law and wife fighting about making icing for cupcakes for a baby shower for my brother-in-law's future wife..... whew....

also trying to make a Music Playlist for the baby shower....joy rapture.

[preacher]

Rammstein - Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da.

My favorite Rammstein album to date. These guys rock. I've been a fan since 93 and they never disappoint.

Bon Jovi - The Circle

Always liked Bon Jovi. It never fails that when a new album is released I know that something is going to happen in my life that will test my character. The timing with the Circle is no different. Bon Jovi's music always encourages me. For that reason I'm always going to "Keep the Faith" with Jon, Richie, Tico, and David. But I've gotta be honest. I think the group peaked about three albums ago. So much of the Circle sounds derivative of songs in other Bon Jovi albums that it just seems like a half-assed effort. The exception is "When We Were Beautiful". Very melancholy, and Powerful. "Fast Cars" is the foil to When We Were Beautiful. A crap-fest worthy of Hanson. Maybe its by design and each song is meant to be a sequel of the top hits. I don't know. Their sound has changed substantially. They've become very Pop-Rock-ish. The guitarwork is reminescent of U2. I can hear a lot of Joshua Tree in it. Interesting evolution, but for their 25th anniversary I was expecting more.

[JimJamBonds]

Sweet - Fox On The Run.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Sweet - Fox On The Run.
Excellent. Sweet had a lot of good tunes. I remember liking "Ballroom Blitz" when I was 5.

My recent acquisitions - Blow it out your @ss, it's Veruca Salt, and EP they released after their first album. I finally heard the tune "Shimmer Like a Girl" on a Youtube video of a live performance in Germany and thought the song rocked. The video is no longer available though.

I got three CD's by theSTART - Death Via Satellite EP, Initiation, and Ciao, Baby. So, I've been listening to those three a lot this week.

[JimJamBonds]

Excellent. Sweet had a lot of good tunes. I remember liking "Ballroom Blitz" when I was 5.

I heard Ace Freely's version of "Fox on the Run", I knew it sounded familiar but I didn't know the artist, so I fired up the youtube machine and found it was Sweet. I like "Ballroom Blitz" but I think it goes on a bit long, my favorite song of theirs is "Little Willy."

They actually played "Character Zero" during the encore if memory serves!!!

It was an excellent show!! VERY VERY high energy; Trey couldn't stop jumping around and they were smiling at how happy and energetic the crowd was. They played 24 tracks, 3 hr, 15 min show, roughly. I took some pics from my spot in the pit. http://www.flickr.com/photos/34129318@N08/sets/72157622835381572/

Now i'm in my office listening to U2, really wanting to get tickets to their East Lansing show when they go onsale at 10 a.m. If i can get one of these elusive 55$ GA floor tickets, i'll go, but tickets go from 30-55-95-250. That's just crazy.

Best of luck on that one. I just got my Denver ticket in the mail Thursday. Totally stoked on that.

In terms of my music, currently I'm listening to a lot of Beach Boys. Which is very ironic because we have over a foot of snow on the ground here.

No, it actually makes sense. "Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the world." That's where the snow is, on top of the world.

I still think there should be a gangster rap surf band called the Beotch Boys.

[JimJamBonds]

Rocky IV Soundtrack.

I decided to pass; the GA tickets weren't a go and the cheapest tickets were behind the stage with the $55 being waaaaaaaaaaaaaay in the back and up in the rafters. lol Maybe next time, Bono!

[Bel-Cam Jos]

"Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano, on an all-holiday songs station (until Christmas, at least).

[Bel-Cam Jos]

"Strut" by Sheena Easton, on a station doing hits from 1984 (that was TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO :eek: :geezer: ).

[JediTricks]

My Fine Feathered Finks, Neal Hefti, Batman tv show soundtrack.

[El Chuxter]

Do you actually have that on CD? I was going to get it, but it became a "super rare collector's item" practically overnight.

[JediTricks]

Yeah, it was one of the very first CDs I ever got back in the late '80s, when I got my first CD player that wasn't my mom's CD player.

[El Chuxter]

Wow, so you've got the original version. As Borat would say, "Verah nahce!" :thumbsup:

[JediTricks]

I also have the 1989 Batman Prince CD in the tin, but I played that in my walkman CD and scratched it up, so I need fill those scratches.

I have the Batdance cassette single. :D (no joke I really do!)

I do, too, somewhere. And the Batdance 7" CD single. Neither had the actual radio version. :(

Sitting On The Dock In The Bay by Otis Redding. He died 42 years ago today in a plane crash in Madison, Wi.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

You could put together a pretty good "Died in a Plane Crash" playlist.
