What are you listening to?

[LasciviousXXX]

Ok just a quick thread to see what everybody is jammin' out to this evening.

I myself have decided to go with Led Zepplin's "IV" this evening to spice it up a little bit. I probably will move on to CCR after that just to get me back in the state of relaxation. :w Groovin' :w

[Herfzilla]

Rush "Signals"

[slowhand]

Dylan's 'Blonde on Blonde'.

[LasciviousXXX]

Ok I've changed it up to Lynyrd Skynryd's "One More From the Road". Just an awesome album. I'm a big southern rock fan. Must be cause I was born in FL.

[WillyGT]

Wild Cherry-Play That Funky Music White Boy :D :cool:

[SeanGAR]

Beggar's Banquet {favorite Stones album}

[motortown]

Since the holidays are fast approaching, I got into a major cleaning-mode this evening. I had a wide variety of music in my cd changer, from Wes Montgomery to the Chili Peppers. A while back I was selling high-end audio and video, and picked up some Sonus Faber speakers that are just unbelievable!!

That's what I like about doing stuff around the house. You pull out some old stuff that you haven't played in a while, and just go... :D

[zemekone]

On the playlist right now:
Encore - Eminem
Low End Theory - Tribe called quest
40oz to Freedom - Sublime
Tupac - All Eyez on Me

[LasciviousXXX]

Ok, now that we've reached the wee hours of the morning I have changed it up and am currently listening to A Perfect Circle's "Mer De Noms". Its a nice haunting album. Absolutely perfect for 2 in the morning.

[shelvingunit]

Alice in Chains Unplugged

[Matt R]

Los Lonely Boyz
the new Joss Stone
Tab Benoit/Jimmy Thackery Whiskey Store
Descendents newest one

[Churchlady]

Carlos Nakai - Mythic Dreamer... night or day, awesome slow down music!

[Bruce5]

While these are all great groups who I have in my CD collection...I have been missing my hometown cigar shop Mount Washington Cigar in Baltimore, MD
so I have been listening to Frank Sinatra.

[glovepuppy]

Listened to String Cheese Incident - Around the Wheel - on the drive home from the parents' house last night. Great Bluegrass/Jam Band album. Also listened to a little Alisson Krause and Union Station Live.

[cigartexan]

A while back I was selling high-end audio and video, and picked up some Sonus Faber speakers that are just unbelievable!!

I have been wanting to hear a set of these damit' No one has them down here :mad:

As far a music, Jack Johnson is who I've been jamming to lately :w

[kamikaiguy]

Sonus Faber are truely great speakers. I have Energy Conoseur(sp?) series C9's I just picked them up about 6 months ago. Playing through My Yamaha RX-Z9 also about 6 months old. This is truely one of the best Musical surrond sound recievers on the Market. It is great for video too.

O my favorite music for tonight. I usually start with some Fugazi and finish the night with Allison Krauss.

[DonJefe]

Tony C and the Truth- Demophonic Blues. Good stuff.

[poker]

Today Im listening to.........
























.....my damn boss. long winded nonsense :r

[Matt R]

Today Im listening to.........
.....my damn boss. long winded nonsense :r

With some Iron Maiden in the background, no doubt. LMAO!!


kamikaiguy.... I've never gotten into Fugazi, but have been a fan of Ian MacKaye since the Minor Threat days.

[Butch]

Today Im listening to..............my damn boss. long winded nonsense :r



Ya I know it poker, check this out :
I am listening to my heart cry and my boss telling me that I will be too busy for the next month. Problem here is that a fellow worker's friend has won a free all expenses paid trip for two to Cuba ( I live in Canada). This person cannot go and was selling the all-inclusive trip for two for $800 CAD ($670 USD). :mad: No luck when you need it. They have now sold the trip to someelse that I do not know. :c

That sucks!

[floydp]

SRV, Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985 on DVD.

[PaulMac]

At the moment its Pantera - CFH!

PaulMac

[LasciviousXXX]

Ahhhh........ another metalhead. I also get down with the harder stuff. And I've got to say that Damageplan's new album is awesome, even though its minus Anselmo. He really made Pantera what it is today. I like is sideproject, DOWN. Awesome southern metal band.

[WillyGT]

right now Kid Rock - COwboy :P

[D. Generate]

Alright, this is a thread that brings me out of lurking mode. I love the Fugazi and Minor Threat references. I love the old hardcore, but never got into the straightedge movement, I like my vices too much. But Old School punk rock gets me every time. Today I've been listening to Black Flag's Damaged, The Clash on Broadway and the Minutemen's Double Nickels On The Dime.

[IHT]

this is hilarious!! two guys i'd never imagine listening to fugazi or minor threat... hell, i sat on stage with fugazi when they first came out, right next to ian on the guitar... "sitting in the waiting room". but that is nothing compared to minor threat..

yes, i was a straight-edge skinhead... ah... those were the days.... S.H.A.R.P. skin at that (skin heads AGAINST racial prejudice), keep that in mind. i don't want to get into all that stuff, it had to deal with it all the time in the 80s...

anyway, what am "I" listening to today?
well, on my long drive from the KC area to STL for my grandmas funeral, i went in this order:
Bjork
System of a Down
Bad Brains
Bad Brains
Rage Against the Machine

talk about hardcore stuff... i could talk all day. any show that played in the STL area from, say, '85 - 90, i was there. pick a group... black flag was the first show i went to... my 16th B-day was spent getting my chin gashed open to a canadian band called SNFU (very cool singer, i talked to him for about an hour).

ah.... those were the days.

btw - my favorite black flag album is "my war". the first side is all hyped up, the 2nd side is only 3 songs, but they're 15 minutes each. when i would get depressed, i'd listen to the 2nd side all night long.

but, as my contest proved, BAD BRAINS is the best band of all time.

one time in school, our project was to name all the groups we've seen in concert.. some people had 1 or 2 groups, i filled up 2 pages front and back... obscure bands from all over the country... from NY (agnostic front 4 times, warzone twice) from chi (life sentence) from colorado (dead silence) to all the LA bands (7 seconds, circle jerks - in the same show!) even some cool pre-grunge groups in seattle, like the accused and a straight-edge group from up there as well, the brotherhood....

okay, i'll shut up now.

[D. Generate]

I love this. My very first concert was in 1986 and it was in Bremerton, a small navy town outside of Seattle, at a closed roller skating rink. It was the Accused, DRI and a death metal band called Holy Terror.

Although, as a Seattle transplant to my new hometown of Reno, I must point out that 7 Seconds was a Reno band, not LA. And Black Flag's My War is a remarkable album and definitely one for the ages.

Almost forgot to add that Bad Brains is one of my favorite bands of all time! Rock For Light is amazing. Who would have thought that three Rastafarians (who started what they thought would be a jazz fusion band) would leave such a mark on hardcore?

[LasciviousXXX]

Currently listening to DOWN's "Ghosts Along the Mississippi"

[WillyGT]

Right now it is Rammstein - Eifersucht

[LasciviousXXX]

Ok its early in the morning so its time to switch up the playlist. I'm going with Boston's self titled album. After that I'm switching to Clapton's greatest hits.

[Matt R]

I love this. My very first concert was in 1986

Hmmm... you guys are youngsters, I see.....

Ever since the first EP by The Descendents I ahve been hooked. I've seen them and ALL many, many times. Was first introduced to the punk scene by my uncle (The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Patti Smith, etc., etc.). Got into skateboarding and migrated towards the straightedge movement. But, it was the Minor Threat type straightedge movement. Just making sure that nothing was controlling my life other than myself. Pretty much stick to that nowadays too. East coast bands I got into were Minor Threat, Agnostic Front, Dag Nasty, The Ramones and quite a few other Dischord bands. I was more into the west coast bands though. The Descendents, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, Aggression, MIA, TSOL, DI, The Adolescents, X, The Germs, 7 Seconds, Youth of Today, Social Distortion... I could go on forever, here. Being so close to Chicago we had our share of cool bands too. Naked Raygun was a big draw around here.

I played in a couple of bands, pretty much our own style, but it would probably be considered Chicago hardcore. A couple of the guys I played with were in Negative Element, who you hardcore guys may or may not have heard of. One of the guys who hung out with us was Bloody Mess, anyone who knows GG Allin real good should probably know Bloody, also. Damn dudes, those were the days.......

[kamikaiguy]

Early in the morning I like Enya and right wing talk radio....

As the Day progresses. I get into Classic Rock, then in the evening Punk, Death Metal and 80's alternative. The Clash is great. I get into Morrisy, Violent Fems, and such.

[motortown]

Sonus Faber are truely great speakers. I have Energy Conoseur(sp?) series C9's I just picked them up about 6 months ago. Playing through My Yamaha RX-Z9 also about 6 months old. This is truely one of the best Musical surrond sound recievers on the Market. It is great for video too.


Yeah, Kamikaiguy, I absolutely love my Sonus Faber speakers! They're difficult to find, a niche market, if you will. I was able to get them at cost (which was the only way I could've gotten them!) :D . That Yami is a pretty sweet receiver, too. I used to sell a ton of Yami receivers (glad they came back), along with Pioneer and Denon. On the higher end, we did a lot of Krell and Rotel. Speaker-wise, we had the Energy line, as well as Polk, Klipsch, Kef, B&W and a few others. We did a ton of Pioneer plasma and Runco projectors, too. Everybody needs their toys!! :D

[Churchlady]

Love the Providence soundtrack for mornings... also Lone Star - county fair and mr. mom are two great songs to get me moving!

[friendoofop]

Right now it is Rammstein - Eifersucht

Right on! There is just something about the german language (and Till Lindemann's voice) that makes metal something it could NEVER be in english. The power of his vocal tone and the german lyrics is amazing. Pick up 'Reise, Reise' yet? (did i spell that right?)


Usually for me, it looks something like this:

Tool
Cake
The Tea Party
Tool
Weezer
Some form of electronic-metal (Type O Negative, Rammstein, Powerman 5000, etc)
Tool

[Arleban]

Getting out of techno mode right now. Muse, Radiohead, Tool, Mad Capsule Markets, Busta Rhymes, Rufus Wainright, and Elliot Smith have been played within the last two days.

[partagaspete]

Ok just a quick thread to see what everybody is jammin' out to this evening.

I myself have decided to go with Led Zepplin's "IV" this evening to spice it up a little bit. I probably will move on to CCR after that just to get me back in the state of relaxation. :w Groovin' :w


Stone Temple Pilot... I love this CD

[IHT]

Hmmm... you guys are youngsters, I see..... <IHT - i know that's sarcastic.. lol>

Ever since the first EP by The Descendents I ahve been hooked. I've seen them and ALL many, many times. Was first introduced to the punk scene by my uncle (The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Patti Smith, etc., etc.). <IHT - patty smith?? c'mon, we're talkin punk/hardcore, not "the cars">

Got into skateboarding and migrated towards the straightedge movement. But, it was the Minor Threat type straightedge movement. <IHT - was there another straight edge movement that i didn't know about?>

Just making sure that nothing was controlling my life other than myself. Pretty much stick to that nowadays too. East coast bands I got into were Minor Threat, Agnostic Front, Dag Nasty, The Ramones and quite a few other Dischord bands. I was more into the west coast bands though. The Descendents, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, Aggression, MIA, TSOL, DI, The Adolescents, X, The Germs, 7 Seconds, Youth of Today <IHT - youth of today was totally a NYC band, revelation records label, etc. i have all their tapes, or did> , Social Distortion... I could go on forever, here. Being so close to Chicago we had our share of cool bands too. Naked Raygun was a big draw around here. <IHT - life sentence was a cool local chicago band that would show up in StL every once in a while. also, all the talk of straight edge, and you listened to social distortion "aka - sellouts", and the ramones!!?? just teasing...>

I played in a couple of bands, pretty much our own style, but it would probably be considered Chicago hardcore. A couple of the guys I played with were in Negative Element, who you hardcore guys may or may not have heard of. One of the guys who hung out with us was Bloody Mess, anyone who knows GG Allin real good should probably know Bloody, also. Damn dudes, those were the days....... <IHT - not a GG Allin fan at all. i wasn't into all that nasty type of stuff. doin' things just to gross out the crowd and be totally rude for no reason.>

those were the days, that's true.

I love this. My very first concert was in 1986 and it was in Bremerton, a small navy town outside of Seattle, at a closed roller skating rink. It was the Accused, DRI and a death metal band called Holy Terror. <IHT - yep, the accused could rock your jock off, that's for sure. i loved their song, "scared of the dark." shook our little pub like crazy. i remember standing on the stage next to them, on top of their stacks they had to lay on their sides... they were traveling with some heavy metal band as well, so we all took off our shirts, stuck them on our heads and acted like we were banging our heads. DRI, man, those guys were frickin funny. they had some very good songs on one of their first albums, can't remember what it was called. mad man, nursing home blues, etc.>

Although, as a Seattle transplant to my new hometown of Reno, I must point out that 7 Seconds was a Reno band, not LA. And Black Flag's My War is a remarkable album and definitely one for the ages. <IHT - my fault, everyone assumed they were from LA because they had that typical LA punk sound goin' on. they played down off the Delmar Loop in St. Louis with Circle Jerks in an old skating rink. the local bands that opened were pretty good as well, one of them called "laffinstock". unfortunately, they had to stop the show for "fire hazard" reasons - pretty much, it was a stage dive fest and the locals weren't too happy about it.>

Almost forgot to add that Bad Brains is one of my favorite bands of all time! Rock For Light is amazing.
<IHT - i listened to that on the way back from the funeral yesterday afternoon. by far, my favorite punk band of all time. hell, i even owned some of HR (their singer) reggae tapes.> Who would have thought that three Rastafarians (who started what they thought would be a jazz fusion band) would leave such a mark on hardcore? <IHT - most of my albums show 4 guys, but that doesn't matter. yep, amazing when i play this and some of my co-workers are like "what's that junk, man?" then i show them the CD insert and they're like, "those dudes is black?" uh... yep. i turned coppertop onto these guys last year... he's now a huge bad brains fan as well.>

cue the archie bunker tunes.... "THOSE WERE THE DAYS....."

hey, is that "lemmie" from motorhead in your avitar?
ACE OF SPADES!! i found it funny that all the british punk bands loved motorhead... hell, i didn't know who they were until i saw "the exploited" and wattie buchan was wearing a motorhead t-shirt...

[coppertop]

Wow, well unfortunatly I didn't grow up around cool music. It wasn't until high school and college where I discovered the music that I listen to now. And then working with/for IHT has helped a lot. He has introduced me to Bad Brains and some older DK. But I also love Naked Raygun, one of my favorite bands.

I also am a Queens of the Stone Age fan, have been for about 5 yrs now, way before they got played on MTV and the damn radio. Modest Mouse is another cool band. Once again I listened to them before they were ever played on fuggin MTV.

Bjork, Voodoo Glow Skulls(thanks to IHT), Less Then Jake(also thanks to IHT). And a bunch more. I am not really into "mainstream" music. Although I do like some System of a Down. yadda yadda yadda

Forgot to add that I also enjoy Tribe Called Quest. Been a fan of them for a long time, ever since Low End Theory. My all time fav rock/rap group would be Beastie Boys. Been listening to them since License to Ill. Although I don't like thier new albumn at all.......to political for my tastes.

[IHT]

oh, yep, i love that ska sound... voodoo glow skulls, less than jake... and the old stuff, way back to the skatalites... i could talk about the toasters or specials as well...

[WillyGT]

Yeah the language makes the music a lot different gives it a more hard core feeling. What about "reize, reize"? is that a new album? Ive only got Sehnsucht and Mutter albums.

[friendoofop]

Yeah the language makes the music a lot different gives it a more hard core feeling. What about "reize, reize"? is that a new album? Ive only got Sehnsucht and Mutter albums.

Yeah...just released within the last few weeks. I've got Sehnsucht, Mutter, and Live aus Berlin. Never picked up Herzlied (their first), but the live record has at least half of those tracks on it anyway. I'll have to pick up the new one soon. I've heard two tracks, 'Amerika', in which Till sings a good bit of english, and rips the Ol' U S of A pretty good (the video is hilarious though and some of the lyrics are even funny - any of you guys ever took german in highschool and said "wunder...b..b.bra?" then you know what I'm talking about), and 'Mein Teil'. Both are in line with what you'd expect. I hope the rest of the album is as good.

Willy,
Never would have guessed you as a CCR fan. Cool, I saw them (sans John Fogerty of course) live a couple of years back when they came through town. I also saw Lynyrd Skynyrd (sans Ronnie Van Zant of course) that same year. Great bands to see live.

[Matt R]

Grabbed the newest Jonny Lang on the way out today. Growing to like it.

[WillyGT]

Yeah i like their music, my dad likes a lot of music, from rock to jazz (Led Zeppelin, Frank Zappa, Rolling Stones, Creedence, Jimmy Hendrix, Carlos Santana*one of my favorites*, weather report, etc...)and have learned alot from him. we have a Vinil disc player and sometimes we put them my father, brother and me and jam to the great tunes :D :w :cool:

[soulskater]

Weather Report? I feel Wayne Shorter wasted some of his better years playing with WR

Miles Davis- Kind of Blue. Not much is better.

minor threat over fugazi

My first show was also in '86. G.B.H., Agnostic Front, Uniform Choice.

I didnt think anyone here would admit to liking Rufus Wainright, but he is really talented.

I keep going back to Jeff Buckley, Grace and Sketches For My Sweetheart the Drunk are amazing

In current rotation in the car
William Orbit- Pieces in a Modern Style
Brand New Heavies- Brand New Heavies
Charles Mingus- The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady

Brian Wilson- SMILE

[LasciviousXXX]

Ok I'm rockin' a little harder this morning with:

Black Label Society "Berserkers"

(we need a rockin' smilie :) )

[Arleban]

My wife likes Rufus much more than I do, but I do enjoy his music. She saw him in concert last year. I unfortunately was in school that night. :(

Anyone enjoy Guster? It was pretty funny seeing the difference in popularity they achieved. The first time we saw them in concert, the venue had around 30,maybe 50 at the most, people there. Good time. The second time we saw them, about 4 months later at the same place, it was packed. Around 300-400 people. Not that big, I know, but still. ;)

[LeafHog]

Listened to String Cheese Incident - Around the Wheel - on the drive home from the parents' house last night. Great Bluegrass/Jam Band album. Also listened to a little Alisson Krause and Union Station Live.

I just bought the Alisson Krause/Union Station CD along with Jack Johnsons Brushfire Fairytales. The first one is really good and I don't normally go bluegrass. Good tip Glovepuppy, maybe I'll pick up the String Cheese Incident also.

Zep is CLASSIC! Never get's old!

[LasciviousXXX]

Zep is CLASSIC! Never get's old!


True, True. I can jam out to any one of their albums and still feel that same rush from hearing every song. I'm actually gonna put on Zep's "Live at the BBC" album right now. Awesome album, 13 minute version of Whole Lotta Love. :D

Damn that's a great record. Moody, grinding and heavy. Accessible and palatable without trying to be. Just a really cool vibe.

[shelvingunit]

Pearl Jam - Ten

Outstanding album. I remember the day I came home with this, it just blew me away. One of those albums that really grab you the first time you hear it.

[Wetterhorn]

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick.

Anybody own the original album with the 12 page newspaper, the St. St. Cleve Chronicle? I have it and it is so funny and I hear that it is now a collector's item.

[IHT]

Korn greatest hits.

[floydp]

No as odd as it sounds they have a greatest hit cd. I thought it to be odd as well. A kid at work knows I like Floyd so he handed me this cd with a cover of another brick in the wall on it track 2 was all I could stand. The rest was pretty much :BS

[kansashat]

misfits trivia...

WHAT CLIFFHANGING (late 40s) TV SHOW WAS THE MISFITS SKULL ORIGINALLY FROM?

WHAT CLIFFHANGING (late 40s) TV SHOW WAS THE MISFITS SKULL ORIGINALLY FROM?

good call...

that's a funny show. the old times when it left you hangin til next week. of course, the girl would always jump out of the truck right before it would go over the cliff, etc. the good guy would get his ass beat, then hit each and every bad guy 1 time, and knock 'em cold???

[LasciviousXXX]

Oh I agree that Glenn Danzig is not the friendliest of people and has a rather high opinion of himself but I just love his music. I was a semi Misfits fan, liked some of their stuff but didn't get heavy into it or anything. When Glenn did Samhain I started to pay a little more attention, you know it was a little heavier and a little more my speed. Then when the first Danzig came out I was blown away. It was exactly what I was looking for. Been an instant fan ever since. Loved all of his releases since then and have purchased everything he's put out thus far. I agree he's not that personable but hey I don't have to deal with him on a daily basis so I'm ok with that. :D


Right now I'm listening to Skynyrd's "FreeBird"

[Lost Sailor]

The Grateful Dead doing a great version of "Rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu"...from the "Steppin out..." CD

[KingMeatyHand]

Oh and Glenn Danzig is a dick... anything after SamHain suck, IMHO. Was always a huge fan of the Mistfits, was even in the Fiend Club back in the day.

Man, you are in for a virtuoso treat! Highly regarded, very influential jazz genius by the Man. Very mellow, slightly melancholy. If I'm not mistaken, I think most of it is improv but I could be wrong. Either way, you're gonna dig it.

From what I've gathered from my Dad, it was basically Miles locking some of the best players of the time into a room and with no practice, playing the music as they felt it. It really comes through with the genius of Miles as well as the other players. Listen to it with headphones or good speakers and pay attention it's brilliant!

[IHT]

some odd reason, i popped in "the doors", one of their many "best of" CDs a few nights back...

and today, on the ride back to work while smoking an slr pc, i had the urge to play "Live".

don't know what's coming over me... but i'll be subject to all kinds of tunes in my music appreciation class i just started...

[D. Generate]

Just finished listening to some Mudhoney and now it's the Murder City Devils. I'm in the "Mu" section of iTunes.

I miss the Murder City Devils. Not too many bands know how to rock the organ anymore. Maybe next I'll listen to Inna Gadda Da Vida...

Pixies - Doolittle
Elliott Smith - s/t
Iggy Pop - New Values
The Hives - Tyrannosaurus Hives
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club -BRMC
John Frusciante - Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt

Checkin this thread out has reminded me of a couple bands I love but haven't had on for too long. Especially The Descendents, Bad Brains, TSOL and Fugazi. - I think I'll go dig through my old albums. - I been meaning to pull out Squirrel Bait since I hear Slint is getting back together.

Funny - I got hooked on Fugazi first, and never really got too caught up in Minor Threat. You wouldn't be the first people to mock me for that. Personally, I think repeater, 13 songs, and inonthekilltaker are pretty much un(s)toppable.

[IHT]

Funny - I got hooked on Fugazi first, and never really got too caught up in Minor Threat. i was the other way around... to be honest, i hadn't listened to Fugazi until i got to the show and realized i was standing next to Ian McKay (and was more surprised that he wasn't singing).
"sittin' in the waiting room.... "

------------

what am i listening to?
Schubert - erlkonig (if you've never heard this, you need to read the english lyrics along with the art song)
Chopin - polonaise in A-flat, Op. 53
Chopin - etude in C Minor, Op. 10, No. 12
Mendelssohn - concerto for violin and orchestra in E Minor, Op. 64

and some others...
gotta love homework at this age

[Eichen]

Chopin - polonaise in A-flat, Op. 53
Chopin - etude in C Minor, Op. 10, No. 12

Love that Chopin stuff. Of course I'm a Polack so I guess that clinches it.

On the rotation recently:

the Wrens, "The Meadowlands" -- fantastic. You indie rockers would probably like this. Give it a listen.

Elgar's 1st Symphony (strange but bits of Bernard Hermann's scores for Hitch. movies sound like this ... thinking in particular of N by NW).

"Workin With", "Steaming With", "Relaxing With" and "Cooking With" Miles Davis. I was really into Jazz in HS and college. Got away from it for a while. I popped these in the player and was blown away. I forgot how good this stuff really is. Hard to beat this series of albums!

[partagaspete]

Jimi Hendrix compilation. Damn it sounds sooooo good in my cars stereo system. cross overs, tweeters, subwoofer. Sound is set for clearity NOT BOOM BOOM BOOM...

Ok I'm jammin' out to Led Zepplin's "IV" album. Awesome album and one of their classics.

My current Selection is Billy Joel "River Of Dreams" and U2 "Under a Blood Red Sky" (Was at RedRocks when the Video was filmed, Now that was an awsome show!) :w

[RcktS4]

Now I'm on a full-on Hives kick. These guys remind me of why I started listening to music in the first place. A bunch a swedes making better US garage than enyon in the US for two decades (except maybe the Cavemanish boys - if any of my PDX brethren remember them.)

"You are Crime, Hives are Law!" classic.

Currently listening to Crossfade's "So Cold"
Next on the list is Tommy Lee's "Hold Me Down" off his last album.

After those two I'm going to pop in Danzig's "I Luciferi" album...... yeah.... rock on!!

i'm like floydp, been listening to Lunaractive... and, classical music (last week as the Baroque era).

[NCRadioMan]

I like it on the heavier side. I've really been into Danzig lately(sans the 5th album, it realy doesn't exist in my mind) also old school Misfits. Always AIC, Slayer and "Hello, I'm Johhny Cash."

Of course, at work I'm hearing Sinatra, Roger Miller, Les Brown Orch., more Sinatra....but today......???Robert Plant-- Sea of Love???? :confused:
Seems little out of place. I love the older mucic, God knows there's hardly any good "new" music, that's why American Idol is successful IMHO, but too much Sinatra can wear on a man.

That's the best run-on sentence I've written in while.

I had Violent Femmes Greatest playing in the car all day. Switched gears with some Ned's Atomic Dustbin.

[D. Generate]

I love the Femmes. The Ned's Atomic Dustbin gave me a flashback too. Been a long time since I listened to that. I have one of their old albums, I'll have to go find it and check it out again. I think it was God Fodder? I think the song I remember from it was Kill Your Television. Now I'm going to have to go find it.

edit: Yep, found it. That was the one I was thinking of, but now I see it also has Grey Cell Green on it and I remember that one too.

I really haven't looked at this thread in a while, but there are some good selections here. And some that I wouldn't necessarily play myself.. Phil Collins..shudder..

I've been listening to a lot of Anti-Nowhere League lately. Their songs rock and it's hard not to laugh at some of the lyrics. It's good fun, old dirty Oi punk, and I like it.

I also took Sonic Youth's Goo out for a spin today and it was a nice visit.

[icehog3]

Hey D, do you ever listen to Black Label Society?

[LasciviousXXX]

Just picked up BLS's new album "Mafia" yesterday and it F'N rocks!!

I've seen BLS and Zakk Wylde in concert twice now and everytime they blow me away. Straight on, hardcore metal. Although I still think 1919 Eternal is their best album.

The thing that sucks is they are playing in Phoenix tomorrow and I won't be able to make it to the show, tickets are only 25 bucks!! I'm disappointed but I'll catch 'em on the next pass.

If you haven't yet, go pick up their new album.

i have never heard of any of these bands you all are mentioning. are they rock bands or what? maybe im to young. :tg

[LasciviousXXX]

Some of 'em are old school punk bands, seems we have a lot of punks around here :fu :D

Most of the ones just mentioned are metal/punk/hardcore bands. If you're into that stuff you should check 'em out, most of them are classics. However I must say again how rockin' the new Black Label Society CD is.

Also for a good education in punk music read back through this thread and there are mentions of some classic bands to start your musical education.

[MiamiE]

im definately not the 'classical' kind of guy. i am into heavy metal/punk but NOT alternative.

[D. Generate]

I have listened to some Black Label Society but don't own any albums. They do rock and this reminds me that I really should go pick some of their stuff up. I first heard of them because Rob Zombie was working with Zakk Wylde and he was really heaping the praises on them.

[LasciviousXXX]

Yeah, Zobie also directed their video for "Stillborn" the one with Ozzy singing on the chorus.

The 2 times I saw BLS in concert was at Ozzfest, they were one of the main stage bands.

[IHT]

I also took Sonic Youth's Goo out for a spin today and it was a nice visit.
i had an old sonic youth record a loooong time ago, i think it was "confusion is sex", where they do their own rendition of "now i wanna be your dog".

i use to consider them more of an acid punk band, a little more "acid" than the "butthole surfers" who i never liked, and found it comical when they had a "hit" song in the 90s.

[D. Generate]

Yeah, the 90's were good to Sonic Youth. Suddenly they were on MTV and everybody was name checking them as an influence.

I don't like all of the Butthole Surfers stuff because they can be kinda bizarre. However Electric Larryland is a really good album and I think it's their most consistent one. I used to get a kick out of how some record bin labels would spell their name: "B***H*** Surfers".

[LasciviousXXX]

I'm currently Rockin' out to Marduk's "Le Grande Danse Macabre"

As this was a brief day at work for me, many disks have been flying in and out of the stereo all afternoon:

King Crimson- Power to Believe, Red
Robert Fripp- Blessing of Tears
Bill Nelson- Chimera, Console, Whimsy
Liquid Tension Experiment- First
A Howlin' Wolf compilation that my nephew burned for me
Jeff Beck-Jeff
John Paul Jones-Thunderthief

Now that the day is winding down, I will probably switch to Alison Krauss, maybe later some music from a Doomed Misunderstood Artist- Nick Drake or Johnny Thunders.

[icehog3]

Howlin' Wolf compilation that my nephew burned for me


pope...how did ya like that Howlin' Wolf? I just picked up a couple CDs and been groovin' on that slide guitar. Good stuff if you dig the blues.

[D. Generate]

There's a song that I've been hearing on XM's Fungus called Max's Kansas City by Wayne County and the Backstreet Boys. Or it might be Wayne County and the Electric Chairs, it appears that the lineup might be in question. Anyway I know of Wayne County, he was a drag queen who became Jayne County and was a staple of the early NY punk scene, but really hadn't heard much music by him. So this song has been in my head a lot lately and I finally went on Amazon and found a Max's Kansas City comp with this song and some of his/her others so I bought it. Great song. Looking forward to getting the album.

Listened to a lot of Social Distortion today and wound the night down with the Beach Boys Pet Sounds. That's a great album.

[RcktS4]

I been jammin my new iPod on full-shuffle mode in my car for the past week. It is KIL-LER. This morning I had something like this on my ride to work:

Dylan: "Hurricane"
Elliott Smith "Southern Belle"
Descendents "My World"
PJ Harvey "Ballad of Billy Joe"
Dr Dre. "Rat-tat-tat-tat"
Mark Lanegan "Methamphetamine Blues"
Billie Holiday "Gone"
and Beastie Boys "In 3's"

plus a couple things I was not in the mood for - long Miles piece from Sketches of spain, Brian Eno "Music For Airports 2-1", and an Elvis Costello song that was too slow for me today. "Almost Blue" I think.

[smokinpope]

what kind of music do these guys play? i've never heard of any of them.

Hello IHT:

King Crimson is often identified as the founders of "progressive rock," in that their album "In the Court of the Crimson King" circa 1969 introduced elements of free jazz, dissonance, varied and complex time signatures into fairly "mainstream" music. They have gone through many personnel changes through their 35+ year history, but still play music that sharply divides listeners into the love-hate camps.
Robert Fripp is the founder and sole constant member of 'Crim. He has done many sessions as a guest guitarist, teaches seminars in "Guitar Craft", and strongly advocates composer's rights in music biz dealings. His Soundscapes are "a lot of noise from one guitar"- heavy sustain, long electronic delay lines, and processing tones through guitar synth. Strangely moving, sometimes heartbreaking stuff.
Bill Nelson- founder of the "post-glam" Be-Bop Deluxe circa 1974. One of the "axe slingers" of that era, with a wide range of stylistic abilities. Copious solo work- probably 40 or more releases since the early 80's covering everything from piano-based ambient to jungle to found sounds to rockers. Records everything at home!
LTE- a studio jam band with two releases. A lot of "how fast can we play?" stuff, and the amazing Tony Levin on basses.
Howlin' Wolf- powerful electric blues. Manic piano behind some later recordings. Scared the crap out of me when I first heard it as a kid.....
Jeff Beck- Guitar god from the late 60's and 70's, still doing amazing,tasty stuff today. His solo career began to pick up steam with "Wired" ca. 1975, but the fusion jazz character of that one might not be everyone's best intro.
JPJ- bassist for Led Zeppelin. Not the same kinda stuff. "Leafy Meadows" on "Thunderthief" will prove that guys in their late 50's can still balance dexterity and power. (Fripp solo on the track is stellar)

Enjoy!

A live album by Jaco Pastorius for me.

Last night I was listening to The Advantage. Not totally sure what the background of the guy or band is who does the songs, but they're remakes of old video game songs by a rock band. It's oddly compelling and does make for some good background music. I have Marble Madness stuck in my head still.

[D. Generate]

Just read in the local paper that the Black Label Society will be playing a small club here in Reno in May. After reading all the good stuff about them here, I'll have to check it out.

[LasciviousXXX]

Definitely go and see 'em, Zakk Wylde is probably one of the greatest guitarists that is still alive. He does awesome shows. Doesn't take a break for 2+ hours, even when the rest of the band takes a quick 10 min cooldown he stays on stage and jams out the solos.

I highly recommend you check it out.

[icehog3]

I went to see Motley Crue last night in Chicago. Didn't expect them to be on their game after seeing some of their early reunited performances on TV, but they rocked the house for 2 1/2 hours, good show! Tommy Lee spent 10 minutes with a handheld cam which displayed on the big screen, and it turned into "Girls Gone Wild". Tommy ended the session by asking "Who's your Boy"?

Slowing it down next month when the wife and I are taking our parents to see Elton John.

Bill Nelson- founder of the "post-glam" Be-Bop Deluxe circa 1974. One of the "axe slingers" of that era, with a wide range of stylistic abilities. Copious solo work- probably 40 or more releases since the early 80's covering everything from piano-based ambient to jungle to found sounds to rockers. Records everything at home!
LTE- a studio jam band with two releases. A lot of "how fast can we play?" stuff, and the amazing Tony Levin on basses.
Howlin' Wolf- powerful electric blues. Manic piano behind some later recordings. Scared the crap out of me when I first heard it as a kid.....
Jeff Beck- Guitar god from the late 60's and 70's, still doing amazing,tasty stuff today. His solo career began to pick up steam with "Wired" ca. 1975, but the fusion jazz character of that one might not be everyone's best intro.
JPJ- bassist for Led Zeppelin. Not the same kinda stuff. "Leafy Meadows" on "Thunderthief" will prove that guys in their late 50's can still balance dexterity and power. (Fripp solo on the track is stellar)

Enjoy!


For the pope you sure do listen to out there stuff,man I love King Crimson,I used to play their stuff at parties and the folks in attendance looked at me like I was fargin nuts.

Hey D did you get your otterbox?

Well I got an email saying that it shipped. I'm on their once a week plan so theoretically I don't spend as much money. Did you get yours?

And if I was at a party and you played King Crimson, I'd look at you like you were nuts too. ;)

Well I went to an AudioSlave Concert last Friday so I'm jammin' to their album. And I must add that they freakin' rock in concert. They played their new stuff, some older soundgarden stuff, and some Rage Against the Machine stuff. I must say that Chris Cornell does a pretty good job covering Rage songs.

Anyway,
I'm currently listening to Static X's - Wisconsin Death Trip album

[SlimDiesel]

Tonight I'm just sittin back chillin with a bottle of Glenlivet 12 yr and a few CAO Mx2 robs while listening to some Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and my boy B.B. King.
