I can't picture a transvestite listening to CCR. Thinking about that is making my head hurt.

I used to live across the hall from this Indian (Asian type) gay guy who I think must have had a boyfriend who worked second shift. At about 1 or 2 am Barbara Streisand at full blast would come to drown out  were noises that would have been (marginally) harder to deal with. Moaning or grunting or God knows what...

I used to go hit his door with a hammer it was so loud and he still didn't hear it or was too busy to answer the door.

Feh. I had almost forgotten about that.

Transvestites listening to CCR doesn't compute.

I've been listening to a lot of different stuff lately.  A friend at work asked to borrow some Stones (I'm the resident music guru) so I dug that shit out.  I was on a Stones binge for about two days when he returned them this week.  Another guy requested Frank Zappa so same thing there (Titties and Beer).  Other stuff seen in my changer recently, The Roots, Radiohead, Todd Rundgren, Tangerine Dream, Stevie Wonder, High Fidelity Soundtrack, The Kinks BBC recordings, B. B. King live at the Royal Theater (awesome), Dixie Chicks, Weird Al...  At this very moment:  True Love Waits, Christopher O'Riley plays Radiohead.  Radiohead songs arranged for classical piano.  Pretty killer actually.

Auggh - for some reason I despise CCR. Just can't stand them, probably because all "classic" stations overplay the shit out of 'em. Anyway, today I listened to Weezer "Pinkerton" (damn weak-willed brain), this Roman Candles CD that I talked about in the other thread, Foo Fighters, Misfits, NoFX, and also Everclear - the last live. They played the state fair here, because Art Alexakis' wife is from here. They implied that they might be breaking up or something. Also, the last song was a cover of Cheap Trick's "Surrender" - sort of as a joke because Cheap Trick was supposed to play a week ago and thought that they could do a gig deep in the heart of Canada, then drive here to AK to play the next night, and then drive to a date the night after that. Good Christ, buy an atlas. Anyway, the sound was kind of weak but it wasn't a terrible show.

I've only heard of about half of those.  The Smiths of course is an old favourite.  I actually brought a photo of Morrissey with me the last time I had my hair done (I have a shortish pomp now, much like Moz does in this picture (except I have a better hairline).

And of course Sonic Youth goes back to my youth.  I have that Wilco album but it has never spoken to me.

And what Belle & Sebastian songs?  If You're Feeling Sinister? Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying?  The Boy with the Arab Strap?

MILES DAVIS

Niiiiiice!
Can't go wrong there. I always tend to go from Miles Davis, through some Thelonius Monk, through Tom Waits, and onto Herbie Hancock. Maybe with a little Modern Jazz Quartet thrown in. Then if I feel like taking it on, I'll go to Cinematic Orchestra and maybe some Gotan Project.

I was resisting the magnetic pull of this thread on my geeky self, but I can hold out no longer...

Goood! This is all just me trying to find as much new music as I can, so the more people who drop in, and the more often people keep posting a little what they've listened to list the happier I become!

[starlight]

Okay, I listened to mp3's earlier today, but hell if I can remember everything except that a couple of the achewood songs from songfight were in there and I think Carissa's Wierd - You Should Be At Home Here, The Dismemberment Plan - Following Through, Timeout Drawer (forgot the name of the song, but I only have one), etcetc (background noise soon after that).

THEN, I got my big haul of cds I ordered last week - I've listened to almost all of them, but I'm seriously doubting I can stay up much longer.  one should not buy 8 cds at once (listed in the order I listened to them):
Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels On a Gravel Road
Guided By Voices - Earthquake Glue
Trembling Blue Stars - A Certain Evening Light
The American Analog Set - The Fun of Watching Fireworks
Fog - Ether Teeth
Stereolab - Mars Audiac Quintet
Fog - s/t

I have one left, but I doubt I'll get to it tonight: Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear The Heart Beating as One

...I'm sort've a music geek as well ya could say if that wasn't already evident :)

8 cds at once is never enough! I like to get about 20 and be able to sit down, check them all out through a day and then maybe do a mix with the new stuff in, see how it fits with all the stuff I already had.

I keep meaning to check out Yo La Tengo. Amazon was recommending it to me for something I bought from them. I think it was from searching through all the Desert stuff like Desert Sessions and Mark Lanegan et al.

Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagynecologist
Squarepusher - Do You Know Squarepusher? (The song)

Well, in an idealistic world, perhaps I would buy 20 at once (I certainly have a long enough wishlist ..heh).  I also like to make mixes after I buy new music, but mostly to share with others than for myself (I only make mixes for myself out of mp3s I don't want to buy the album for and those I cannot buy at all -live, demo, only on vinyl, etc) - sadly, not since like four buying sprees ago, has someone asked for one.

YLT is nice.  not a must have sort've group since sadly I don't particularly like to sing along to it which is how I judge things (excluding instrumentals), but the two albums I have are pleasant as reading music.
