[Starbucks Anarchist]

I just got these:

Good Night, and Good Luck OST


Stevie Wonder - Innervisions


Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One


Henry Mancini - Greatest Hits

[taterguy]

1. A blues tribute to the Stones

An interesting twist: Blues musicians doing their versions of rock songs instead of the other way around. Found it in a used record store today and am listening to it now for the first time.

[mdmc]

2. I got a dan bern cd yesterday

www.danbern.com

[dysfunctional press]

3. flunk-' morning star', and 'for sleepyheads only'

(they're norwegian)

[wildhorses]

4. dixie chicks~long way around

:hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

12. Is that the new one?

:hi:

[wildhorses]

21. yes, it is...I like it but, I can see where not everyone

would relate to all the songs...and although the "i'm not ready to make nice " song is getting all the airplay ....I think this one is my favorite:

"I Hope"

Sunday morning, I heard the preacher say
Thou shall not kill
I don't wanna hear nothing else about killing
And that it's God's will

'Cause our children are watching us
They put their trust in us
They're gonna be like us
So let's learn from our history
And do it differently

I hope, for more love, more joy and laughter
I hope, we'll have more than we'll ever need
I hope, we'll have more happy ever after
I hope, we can all live more fearlessly
And we can lose all the pain and misery
I hope, I hope

Oh, Rosie, her man he gets too rough
That's all she can say, is he's a good man
He don't mean no harm
He was just brought up that way

But our children are watching us
They put their trust in us
They're gonna be like us
It's okay for us to disagree
We can work it out lovingly

I hope, for more love, more joy and laughter
I hope, we'll have more than we'll ever need
I hope, we'll have more happy ever after
I hope, we can all live more fearlessly
And we can lose all the pain and misery
I hope, I hope

There must be a way to change what's going on
No I don't have all the answers

I hope, for more love, more joy and laughter
I hope, we'll have more than we'll ever need
I hope, we'll have more happy ever after
I hope, we can all live more fearlessly
And we can lose all the pain and misery
I hope, I hope

I hope, I hope, I hope

[Starbucks Anarchist]

23. I've heard their old song "White Trash Wedding."

Very catchy. :thumbsup:

[wildhorses]

25. do yourself a favor and hear their version of

travelin' soldier...



let me know what you think

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. Actually, I've heard that one, too.

It's good.

[Aristus]

26. I got my Chicks CD today, too!

I've only heard the first three tracks, but so far, it's terrific! Doing my best to be a good liberal consumer. :-)

Also, I got, at long last, a great deal on a 2-disc set of Maurice Andre's performances of Baroque trumpet pieces. You can't help but feel happy when you're listening to Maurice Andre!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

29. Hey, Aristus, I saw you on Jeopardy!

I actually work on that show in some capacity, but didn't work on your particular episode. You did good, though! :hi:

[Aristus]

33. Hey Starbucks!

Thank you! :hi:

That's cool that you work on "Jeopardy!". After I get my check for my winnings, you can tell me in what capacity. :+ O8)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

36. I'll PM you later about it.

[wildhorses]

32. dunno that I am such a good liberal consumer but,

I like the dixie chicks
:hi:

[benny05]

38. Likewise, along with the Wreckers

Now I have Napster and I will make my own CDS

[mvd]

46. Yep - got that one

To me, it's their most independent musically and their best - but they are all different, and they are all masterpieces!

[txwhitedove]

69. She cautiously agrees, my newest CD is Dixie Chick’s TtLW …

Already have their other CD’s and admire them as musical artists, Liberals, and independent women who use their voice for good.

Next newest is Enter the Haggis, Casualties of Retail, mainly for ‘Gasoline’:
…back then the earth was green
dirt was black and the air/water was clean
and then upon the scene
cars and trucks and gasoline
inside i’m petrified
i don’t want to hide/watch it anymore

black or white/left or right or in between
i'm never really sure which way i lean
hey mister what does it mean he said
cars and trucks need gasoline

mutley would like it .

[driver8]

5. I just ordered a live Neil Finn cd from eBay.

It should be here in the next couple of days!!

Sheryl Crow plays a few songs with him; I can't wait to hear those.

[Pale Blue Dot]

15. You must mean "One All"

It's a great CD. My favorite tracks are "Into the Sunset" and "Rest of the Day Off". Crow appears on "Turn and Run" and "Driving Me Mad". Their association goes back a long way. She opened for Crowded House when her first CD was just becoming huge, and her song "Everyday is a Winding Road" (which Neil sings backup on) is said to be about Crowded House drummer Paul Hester, who killed himself last year.

Aren't you glad you asked?

[driver8]

34. That's it! I remember when Sheryl Crow opened for

Crowded House. A good friend of mine is a huge Crowded House fan and he went to see them one night. He asked me if I had ever heard of Sheryl Crow. Her cd was about to take off and I had heard a few of her songs on one of our local stations.

I did not realize that "Everyday is A Winding Road" is about Paul Hester. Paul is on my daughter's "Wiggles" DVD and everytime I see him I get sad.

PS: I love that song, "Driving Me Mad". I can't wait to hear it!!

[AlCzervik]

6. The Prodigy-The fat of the land.

[taterguy]

7. I'm envious

I've wanted a copy of I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One ever since I found out that's what the music from Junebug was based on. Alas, it's never in the stores I browse and I don't feel like ordering it online.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. Only $8 at Amazon.

I'd go for it.

[Bella Pisces]

8. Leona Naess, Self-Titled.

"Christmas" (Track 10) has got to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard: "...like Christmas stays with you, walk through darkened streets as we lay true, lights from your heart lead me to you...".

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. Welcome to DU, Bella Pisces!

:hi:

[Bella Pisces]

16. Thanks, Starbucks Anarchist!

:hi:

[Pale Blue Dot]

17. Is that the one with "Mayor of Your Town"?

I love that song!

[Bella Pisces]

31. No, that one is on her "I Tried To Rock You But You Only Roll" album.

But, yeah, great song.

[Metta]

28. Hi, Bella.

I salute your rainbow body. :hi: :donut: :donut: :)

[Metta]

30. Mendelssohn, Fritz Wunderlich, Gabor Szabo and Salif Keita.

Piano Trio with the Fontenays, Magic of Fw which includes several out of print selections and a dvd, Sorcerer by GS and an acoustic mix of SK's new album. :donut: :donut: :)

[Bella Pisces]

51. Hi, Metta.

:hi:

[mvd]

47. Welcome to DU - good to see Leona mentioned

It's a great CD, and I Tried to Rock You But You Only Roll is even better.

[Bella Pisces]

50. Thanks for the welcome, mvd.

I agree, both great Leona albums. Comatised (her debut) is my least favorite; I only really love two songs off that one -- "Charm Attack" and "Chosen Family".

[mvd]

56. I don't have Comatosed yet

I suppose I could just download those songs unless you think it's worth buying for a Leona fan.

[Bella Pisces]

60. I think it's worth having.

It's a good album -- just the weakest of the three, I think. Nothing that girl sings is bad.

By the way, where do you download from (i.e. Limewire, iTunes, ...)?

[mvd]

61. I usually order the physical CDs from sites like amazon.com,

and cduniverse.com. I use iTunes sometimes. Used to have Limewire, but don't use it anymore. There are some full album listening parties (legal ones) that I take advantage of.

Night! :hi:

[Strawman]

9. Electric Six - Senor Smoke

So far I don't like it as much as Fire...but I really like Fire alot.

[scoey1953]

13. BODIES...by Nao Nagasawa

Bodies by Nao Nagasawa
She's hot and so is her music.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

14. What kind of music?

[scoey1953]

19. mmmm...let me find you a sample on Youtube.com

This two is on the album. Don't freak, yes she sings in Japanse but she is so darn
cute and I like her voice and music. (J-pop)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n_VADVlXik&search=nao%20nagasawa%20

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsDp2jRuQUk&search=nao%20nagasawa%20

[Starbucks Anarchist]

20. Sounds catchy.

[scoey1953]

22. She also models.... but she makes a better singer.

[Pale Blue Dot]

18. Roddy Frame - Western Skies

Roddy was the leader of the band Aztec Camera back in the 80's. He's actually one of the finest guitar players you've never heard. He's also a top-notch songwriter.

This CD, unfortunately, is not one of his best, but I have a feeling it will grow on me.

I also just got Snow Patrol's "Hands Open", which I like.

[Broken_Hero]

24. hmm

some Soul Fly, Lamb of God(overrated crap), and some Corrision of Conformity....:)

[Maestro]

40. Love Soulfly and Lamb of God

CoC has its moments but still not hooked yet.

[Broken_Hero]

57. I

don't like death metal that much...the music in itself, is great, but the growling, and what not, puts me off, and Lamb of God is basically death metal, they remind me of Bloodsimple...

[Maestro]

67. I certainly like more melodic metal more

but sometimes I really get in the mood for some crushing metal. Actually, I am not sure if LoG is death metal. It's more American metalcore which has roots in thrash, death and black metal.

[blue neen]

35. Tommy, the rock opera by The Who.

I bought this for my son for his birthday. He's heard some of the singles that were released from the album, like "Pinball Wizard."

When you hear them all together in the context of the story, the songs mean so much more.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

37. A great album.

Probably their best work.

[blue neen]

41. Agree.

I'm really enjoying listening to it again after all these years.

[Maestro]

39. Rather eclectic

First the new Charlatans: Simpatico

Then some older Fatboy Slim that I had been wanting.

I also just ordered the import with extra remix CD of the new Pet Shop Boys album.

And finally to satisfy my metalcore, All That Remains is coming out with new album very soon that I have pre-ordered.

Oh and I almost forgot...the sexiest women in music today. The Dixie Chicks.

[KFC]

42. OK

First two were replacements. I got the GBV based on DU loungers' comments. Excellent - GBV could develop into the next Oasis. They are clearly better than the Beatles.

[aquaman]

43. I bought these new releases today:

Sonic Youth



Black Heart Procession



Deadboy and the Elephantmen



Yonder Mountain String Band

[mvd]

44. The last 5

Allison Moorer - Getting Somewhere
Wussy - Funeral Dress (thanks to bedpanartist for mentioning them!)
Regina Spektor - Begin To Hope
Mary Lee's Corvette - Love, Loss, & Lunacy
Holly Brook - Like Blood, Like Honey

[ghostsofgiants]

45. My most recent four...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

52. What's the first one?

I've seen that pic before.

[ghostsofgiants]

53. Death From Above 1979's "You're A Woman, I'm A Machine"

It's namenotneeded's avatar.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

54. Thanks.

I've heard of them before. What genre of music is it?

[ghostsofgiants]

63. Indie rock/punk, I guess.

It's just two guys, one on drums/vocals, the other on bass/synth, so it's pretty stripped down, but it's really good. Check out "Turn it Out" or "Blood On Our Hands".

(Video for "Blood On Our Hands": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOr3QsJpMZI)

[MissB]

48. Kidz Bop 9

It wasn't for me. Please don't hold it against me.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

49. I was about to say...
