[Broken_Hero]

Me? I'm still listening to old "reliable" aka:

I've been stuck on these sorry bastiches for a while now....

Please, Loungers, what are you listening too nowadays?

[coyotespaw]

1. I've been cranking the new Chris Isaak album...

though I can't say as I'm representative of the usual lounge crowd.

2. Well, yesterday it was this:

It's a Beautiful Day, "White Bird"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmb69MdeJBc

and today it is this:

Taj Mahal, "Ain't Gwine to Whistle Dixie (any mo), from a live album
http://www.imeem.com/people/oOporH/music/17aZEn2l/taj-mahal-aint-gwine-to-whistle-dixie-any-mo-live/

:smoke:

[Broken_Hero]

3. White bird is pretty decent,

reminds me of a...well, Blues meets Mama's and the Papa's sound.

[Broken_Hero]

6. Your second link, doesnt' work so well, nt

[NYC_SKP]

9. This one works... Taj Mahal, Ain't Gwine to Whistle Dixie any Mo!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4e9SUwL4JM

8-1/2 minutes, it gets better and better throughout, worth the listen...

[Broken_Hero]

12. Not bad, laid back

blues, with a touch of big band thrown in....they are on my list, thanks...:hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

4. I was just listening to ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead's "Source Tags and Codes"

Which is by far one of the best albums of the decade.

[Broken_Hero]

7. Thanks you,

that song/group is now added to my "Petersond's to get list"....they remind me of Finch.

[ghostsofgiants]

10. Finch? really?

I don't hear it at all, and I used to listen to a lot of Finch when I was in high school. ...Trail of Dead's more recent stuff is okay but not quite as great as that album.

[Broken_Hero]

11. Yeah,

sorry, they remind me of Finch...but, I think Finch is good....


:hide:

[ghostsofgiants]

13. I enjoy Finch. (Like I said, listened to them a lot in high school.)

I'm just not sure I hear the similarities, haha.

21. Awesome sig pic.

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear petersond!

I'm listening to this: http://www.wksu.org/

I love love love classical music, and what they play suits me down to my toenails!

I have it on right now...

:D

8. My current earworm is U2 - "Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hekg73Dh_Y

"Nothin' much to say I guess
You're just the same as all the rest
Been tryin' to throw your arms around the world
And a woman needs a man
Like a fish needs a bicycle
When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world..."

A bit ironic though, because what's Bono been doing in the years since, if not trying to throw his arms around the world? :P

[Broken_Hero]

14. Damn, I havent' listened to this one for years....

its been...at least 10yrs since I listened to this cd....

[mvd]

15. Hi petersond!

Today, not much -

Another listen to Company Of Thieves, a group that I find to be good. And listened to Keith Urban's Defying Gravity. Defying Gravity is a little too cookie cutter and puppy-love for my tastes. Download "When Summer Comes Around," "Hit The Ground Runnin," and maybe "If I Could Ever Love."

[Dinger]

16. On The Way To work this Morning:

(And boy, am I glad I'm working!):

Rebel Yell (Billy Idol)
Bruch Violin Concerto
Honey, Honey (ABBA)
Hey Good Lookin' (Mavericks* GREAT version!)
Man In Black (Man In Black)

[Bryan]

17. Neko Case, MIDDLE CYCLONE

The best album of the year so far. Dense, lyrical, passionate, barking mad.

http://www.themusicfix.co.uk/content/review/5610/neko-case.html


"Middle Cyclone is effectively The Jungle Book rewritten by Sylvia Plath and performed by Loretta Lynn. If you didn't know better you'd think its creator was raised by wolves. It's all the magic, tragedy, brutality and beauty of nature - a twisted Disney subterranea of whales, starlings, spiders, doves, magpies and fireflies. It's a peek under the surface, or as the Situationists' believed “Under the pavement, the beach!”. It's also a record of discovery, cracking one-liners, melodic twisters and rich, unexpected sounds."

23. wow, i loved fox confessor brings the flood

i gots to get that new one! gorgeous woman

[mvd]

18. Kick - American Idol now - my evaluations so far

Danny's actually been the best so far. That was also the best I've heard him. Still not a fan, but I give him credit - I'd take that version over Rascal Flatts's.

Out of 25:

Anoop - 13 (vocals weren't bad, but an Usher song needed more swagger)
Megan - 8 (worse than last week; the vocals just grated the whole way at the same tone)
Danny - 20
Alison - 14 (bad song choice)

[mvd]

19. More

Scott - 13/25 (more emotional, but the vocals just weren't there)
Matt - 12/25 (I like him when he does R&B - but rock makes him sing poor immitations)
Lil Rounds - 14/25 (she belted the heck out of it - but the catch was that this is a soft song)

[mvd]

27. Final of the night

Adam 21/25 (his best performance by far - I thought he sounded a little like Steven Tyler)
Kris 21/25 (well sung - but I didn't go as nuts as the judges)

This was really a backwards week for me. Thought Danny, Adam, and Kris did the best.

22. Playing "Phrenology" by The Roots right now.

26. It's nice to see them as Jimmy Fallon's band now.

I know some people don't like the show, but it's worth it just to see them play.

24. Still Stuck on Silbermond

(Silver Moon) East German Rock
