Once again: what are you listening to now?

[fredk]

Folies, Lex Voix Humaines - classical bass viola.

Sounds stunningly good on my system. Its amazing to hear all the subtle resonances of a stringed instrument like this.

 

[croseiv]

Elgar-Organ Sonata 3rd mvmt. Man does that pipe organ hit some lowness. At about 5 min. in the movement the organ hits 18 Hz. Shakes the whole house.

Billy Joel's "The Stranger" half speed master on vinyl
Cheap Trick "Live at Budokhan"
The Trews latest album on CD

The Beatles "White Album"

Hm. What started out over 8 hours ago as innocently reading a fantasy baseball article turned into- a link to the Men at Work video Overkill on youtube, which of course led me to click on related links to the right of it which included From the Land Down Under, Toto, Marillion, Fish, Tony Banks, which led me here to look up a couple of threads including this one and the top 20 albums you should own but don't, which led me to check a couple of 'fest' pages I have bookmarked to see who is playing this year, which in turn led me to several band home pages, where I then went to Best Buy's home page to see if they had any in stock, which led me to start writing down a list of bands and albums, so I decided I might as well as drive 50 miles round trip to pick up some new music, which I am back from now and have the flac albums on my pc and am finally listening to them over 8 hours later...whew...

Haven't gotten much done today, but I found some new music after 8 hours of looking. Couldn't find any first choices, so ended up with:
Norah Jone- Come Away with Me (totally new genre for me)
3- The End is Begun
Sentenced- Buried Alive
OTEP- Ascension

All new to me, been meaning to get Sentenced at some point, Norah Jones and 3- took recommendations from others on here, and OTEP found them through a female metalfest page, not my first chioce but couldn't find any others, so I'll give them a go...

That's a funny story armaraas. Although I'm currently watching the Twins vs Yanks game on TV, I never got into fantasy baseball. If I could be sure it would lead me to new music adventures I might be tempted to give it another go.



Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy
CSNY - Deja Vu
Patsy Cline - 12 Greatest Hits

Polish prog metal band:

Also check out their Second Life Syndrome cd as well.

Also listening to the newest Dokken and Motley Crue cds.
Hey, I'm an '80's Metal Head at Heart!

 

[MinusTheBear]

Sublime - Self Titled (This album sounds awesome on my system)

Primus - Pork Soda

David Palmer & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Orchestral Maneuvers: Music of Pink Floyd

Stevie Ray Vaughan - The Sky Is Crying

 

[Harrison476]

Diana Krall LOve Senes

I'd love to list a whole lot of stuff like the others did but the main thing I've been listening to as of late is XM 70 Real Jazz. They play a nice mix of vocal and instrumental jazz by older and newer artists. Although the Diana Krall Love Scenes DVD-A has been in the player nonstop when not on the sat.

Steve

I picked up her greastest hits CD and I havent been able to stop listening to her. Shes Great and the recording and mixing is great. I have looked at her other cd most of the good song seem to be on greatest hits cd. When is she due for a new release anyone know? I will check the "love Scenes DVD out , thanks.

 

[Billy S]

BLUES!!!

Mike Zito- Today ... Great singer, songwriter, and guitarist.
Bex Marshall- Kitchen Table ... Not bad, she's got a cool voice.
Buddy Guy- Skin Deep ...It's Buddy Guy, what else can you say.
Chicken Legs Weaver- The Silk Ripped Dress ...I don't know, a different kinda blues, but I'm kinda diggin' it.

Oh forgot. Kreg Visselman-The Pull ... Very cool, Great Acoustic Blues

 

[larry7995]

Fabulous Thunderbirds - Painted On, recently bought the CD for the song Wild Cherry, and having been recently screwed over in the romantic department, the blues are close to my heart

Also, I just got a copy of Steely Dan - Royal Scam, haven't heard it in probably 20 years but I put it on and cranked it up and remembered why I loved it 20 years ago, but it sounds much better through my M80s than anything I ever had before.

Welcome to the forum! Don't be nervous we don't bite! Just kidding! I will check out that Allman Brothers live album. You got me interested in listening to some of the The Kinks too

A couple of newer CDs:
Vampire Weekend
Lorraine Feather - Language.

I like them both. Lorraine Feather is a jazz singer with really quirky lyrics and excellent backing musicians. I'm not sure how to describe Vampire Weekend. The singer sounds like a young Sting or possibly Ray Davies. Many of the lyrics are a bunch of non-sequiturs but there are some that hang together as songs. The arrangements are fairly spare with some African rhythms mixed in.

Tom Waits....Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards

You'd think that, after all these years and albums, Waits might start feeling lazy...but no, this monster has 3 CDs and 50 songs. Some songs recycled but a lot of new material too. This guy is amazing. If you like this catch the indie movie "Wristcutters". Waits is an archangel in an alt-universe full of suicides. The perfect role for Tom.

Allman Bros. Live at the Filmore....

One of the great live albums of that era.

 

[skizzerflake]

A CD I've had for a while that somehow got pushed aside. Recently I pulled it out and It's gotten stuck in my head...Son Volt - The Search. I'm a great fan of the old Uncle Tupelo. It's descendants, Wilco and Son Volt are very different from each other but each excellent in their own way. The Search is excellent basic guitar rock.

 

[jliedeka]

Another CD I just got is Powerslave by Iron Maiden. I have the vinyl but no turntable as of yet. Powerslave if still one of my favorite albums.
