What are you guys listening to right now?

[Mark Wein]

I'm in this strange mode where I only listen to music when I run..right now I put my iPod on shuffle and it is full of Counting Crows, Scott Henderson and John Petrucci...

[Chihlidog]

Mozart.

[Phil513]

I listened to Bill Handel on KFI on the way to work. hahaha.

I have a Beatles compilation CD of stuff i personally like the best, maybe not the most popular tunes, i have been listening to that.

The Essential Collection

Whole mess of different stuff.

[Jake S.]

Scorpions (Taken By Force album), a little bit of Liquid Tension Expeirment (Jordan Rudess, John Petrucci, and a couple other guys all put together) and Michael Schenker as always ;D

[Denverdave]

With all the open cubicles around here I usually don't have any music on. But I need to listen to a bit of 'Blackhawk' today. We have a new bass player in our band, and I have to pickup some of the vocal parts our last bass player sang and the Blackhawk song is one that I just can't figure out in my head, so I need to listen to the song a couple dozen times to get it down...

Do you have Tokyo Tapes by the Scorpions? That was the one live album from that era that I had by them...you might really like it...

[Phil513]

I have tokyo tapes.

[Aahzz]

This morning on my way in it was Avenged Sevenfold. Not sure yet what I'll be in the mood for driving home.

As a matter of fact I do...I have very limited room on my 256MB mp3 player (The backup for the 4GB one that broke a couple weeks ago) so I haven't gotten to listen to it a whole lot...I'll get to it eventually though

[Guitar1969]

I'm into Lifehouse these days - Rockin - yet mellow(kind of like Counting Crows vibe).

I think lifehouse is a VERY good band. I enjoy them a lot.

[Mark Wein]

I actually use "You and Me" as an example song with my students all the time...its also fun to sing...

[Phil513]

I stayed stuck in the 70's and "Hair Metal" way too long, so i sorta enjoyed discovering stuff everyone has already gotten tired of. I kinda like bands like Jet, Shinedown, Cake and such.

Im even on a Breaking Benjamin kick right now, im not sure if folks around here put them in the Nickleback category or not, but there it is. I like 'em.

[Psychotronic]

The Replacements reissues on Rhino records.

[thredlok]

"onion girl" just popped up in itunes!

[Mark Wein]

"onion girl" just popped up in itunes!

I had a really bad first date with a girl once and that song is what I envisioned life would be like 30 years later. ;D

[thredlok]

I used to call a girl who rode my school bus onion face- her face could bring tears to your eyes ;D

[Mark Wein]

The idea with the "Onion Girl" was that every time you peeled back another layer there'd be more tears.






crazy bitch.

[xqqmytude]

I'm listening to TLC Now And Forever: The Hits






Bite me. :P


Yo if I need it in the morning or the middle of the night
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)
If the lovin' is strong and he got it goin' on and
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)
2 inches or a yard rock hard or if it's saggin'
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)
So it ain't like I'm braggin' just join the paddywagon cause
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg, I ain't 2 proud 2 beg

What about your friends...

[Mark Wein]

Don't go chasing waterfalls.....

[thredlok]

those are sage words Mr.Wein

and why would you chase waterfalls? that is akin to chasing fire hydrants :P

I've been listening to the new Lambchop for the past couple of days. Really nice album for mellowing out.

What kind of music is Lambchop?

They describe themselves as "Nashville's most f**ked up country band", but it's not really country. It's kind of down-tempo soul or folk, with some ambient elements. It's hard to say what kind of music it is because the band is always changing in major ways, and they have put out tens of records over the past couple of decades. The constant is this guy, Kurt Wagner, who is an art school student turned musician who supports himself as a skilled tradesman. He's some kind of carpenter. Most of his bandmates are guys with trades like that. My friend, Bill Killabrew, played guitar in the band for a while, and he lays wood floors and paints for a living. If you know Josh Rouse at all, he did an EP with Wagner. In fact, I would say that Rouse's early period (Dressed Up Like Nebraska, Home, and Under the Cold Blue Stars) is basically Lambchop with shinier pop vocals. Wagner is like a less gravely Tom Waits.

Here is a track from the new album: http://cdn.stereogum.com/mp3/Lambcho...d%20Loosed.mp3
