Books, Movies, Music & Entertainment - What music is everyone listening to...

Talking Heads Fear of Music "Life During Wartime".
Great album, great song!! :)

Blue Lines ~ Massive Attack

I was wandering, Do any of you guys listen to music while your out on the road or do you believe it to be a little too dangerous???...

No I don't but CLASSICAL is still cool OK???

Almost anything that Jon Langford does - Mekons, Waco Bros., solo stuff w/ his Sadies and w/ Sally Timms, etc. - is great. Jon records for Bloodshot and also lives in Chicago, I think. Does that mean that y'all living in Chicago get the benefit of many, many excellent live shows??? If so, I'm jealous - although Jon usually plays Portland with one band or another about once or twice a year.

That's right - except they don't play out here as much as you'd think, so don't feel left out :-) - have seen Waco bros several times in the last couple of years, but not Sally or that thing a bunch of them do, is it Pine Valley Cosmonauts (sp?) or something like that?

weren't they at the Hideout Block Party last year? Year before?

']weren't they at the Hideout Block Party last year? Year before?

I want to say yes - seems to me I do remember they were, although I wasn't - I saw them the last couple times at the Andersonville Street Fair - and at Fitzgerald's - except the last time I had to leave before they went on, but I "saw" them :-)

Tonite it is melancholy music for a truly melancholy mood along with some sad, sad love songs.

A Boy Named Goo ~ Goo Goo Dolls

Yes, yes, I know. It's a guilty pleasure. I'm allowed.

sometimes it's the saddest songs that make us happiest - sad is an intense emotion that can't be sustained for long, we hope...

tonight I'm needing something to keep me awake - doing homework, and having a hell of time - may have to pack it in and get up in early in the morning to work on it

Yeah, there's the Pine Valley thing too. But I'm pretty sure it's different than the Jon 'n' Sally duet shows...Jon seems to be one of those guys who just wants to play music all the time w/ lots of different people...Bloodshot also has Alejandro Escovedo, one of my all time favorite Texas artists. check it out:

What this difficult to get a hold of?

moe. - dither "Captain America says you'd better be like me or you're going to wind up...dead!"

Was this difficult to get a hold of?
I've got two versions of Super Black Market Clash. One is an Epic Legacy CD w/ a release date of 1993 which shouldn't be too hard to find used still, I don't think. The other is a double or triple record set on 10" vinyl, which is probably a bit rare... :D

Fantasma ~ Cornelius

Dude is the Japanese Beck.

I've got one 10" of Black Market Clash, which I love, for it's dub stuff. I'll have to go on the hunt for the CD version like yours.

It's a Wynton Marsalis kind of night.

Andreas Bocelli - Sogno, Keiko Matsui - All of her latest disc for the past 3 years,
Heroshima, Jim Brickman, and lots of oldies.

This morning at work I got to The Church on my shuffled playlist and it just hit the spot, so I turned it off shuffle and have been entranced in a meloncholy beauty ever since.

No Need to Argue ~ The Cranberries

Ten years ago...I feel old...

']The Doctor recommends:

"Strongbox" is my jam. I think I'm going to blast the Effigies or some Government Issue on the way to work.

Right now, I'm listening to Donald Rumsfield backpedal. Now, THAT'S good listening! :)

Oh nice! Now that Blixa is back with 'em (did he ever really leave?), I've heard that they're going to be releasing new albums and going on extended tours.

I hope they come within 200 miles of Cincinnati...

Today will be devoted to Thee Michelle Gun Elephant

MC5 Back in the USA

Catch the film MC5 A True Testimonial if it plays near you. Well done w/ lots of live footage and great modern interviews and commentary by Wayne Kramer.

Blixa was saying this might be their last north american tour - i guess they're losing money on tours in the states.

God..Please someone help me to get a tune out of my craw.
The other day, my wife was preparing dinner. The TV flipped to the kids' show
HR Puffenstuff...I was too sleepy to turn off the station and the remote was elsewhere...It keeps coming to mind while riding and once in awhile the words gets expressed while on the road...
Maybe I need a visit to the service that took care of everyone's mental hang ups in the movie- "Spotless Mind."

What an amazingly fantastic band. On par with MBV if I say so myself...

On my stereo: Gram Parsons & The Flying Burrito Band

You might also check out Gram Parsons two solo albums, Grevious Angel and I forget the second one's name, but you can get them both on one CD. Beautiful stuff.

Affirmative. THey were on my Block Party poster from last year.

The Clash - Super Black Market Clash

Just got my eBayed copy. This may be the best odds-and-ends compilation put together by any band ever.

Im listening to something by Josh Gruben. Atleast I think thats how you spell it...

Already got that. :)

I'm a huge GP fan. Have you ever heard Rank and File? It was a country-punk band formed out of the ashes of The Dils, and included the extraordinary talent of Alejandro Escovedo. Rhino finally reissued the first two albums on one disc, but it sells for $25!!! Amazing music though, and worth every penny.

Washing Machine ~ Sonic Youth

Got it for $3 today. go me.

I've got the original vinyl and saw them live in Austin in the 80's. Alejandro's brother Javier was in one incarnation of the band too, I think - there were several lineups. Alejandro Escovedo is one of my all-time favorite songwriters and performers. Ya got good taste, dude!! :)

Big Black - Hammer Party
Pegboy - Strong Reaction/3 Chord Monty
Mission of Burma - Singals, Calls, and Marches (thx for the reco, Dr. Who)

Nope, never heard of it. Have you heard of Calexico?

I found "Diamond Sea" to be the best. The rest seemed like a wash (sic).

Calexico's one of my favorite modern bands!


Today I've been listening to the last Joe Strummer album, "Streetcore". Great stuff, too bad he had to go.

Him going could make you wanna hate a God or gods if he/they exist.
