What are you listening to?

[Reidme]

I started to overcome my iPod phobia .... by downloading alot of lame crap. I did however download a classic Johnny Cash (Live at Folsom Prison). I listen to everything but saw that this was considered one of the top albumns of all time by a few lists .... it was very cool. I can't say It'll be an everyday listen, but the fact that he is singing to prisoners and singing about being executed and such is pretty interesting. You can hear the guards making announcements over the PA during breaks in the show.

Yep...you can tell there's something of a kinship in how they react to his songs. (I don't own the whole thing, but a good portion of it comes up in some of my Pandora rotations.)

It doesn't matter what you put on an iPod, you'll want to skip over 90% it.

this.  i've got some 5000+ songs on mine and spend the majority of the time hitting the "next" button.  i have a playlist for when i'm at the gym and that's pretty much the only time that i actually listen to it without skipping songs.

Them Crooked Vultures CD is excellent 

It's a great album for QOTSA/Kyuss fans but "New Fang" is easily the best track on there...

An old favorite of mine is Little Feat's live gem, Waiting for Columbus. I had it on vinyl back in the day, and I bought it on CD when it came out that way. One problem with the CD version is that they cut a few songs out to make it fit on one disc.

A couple of days ago, I went on iTunes and downloaded the extended version. It has not only the full original Waiting for Columbus content, but it also has all the extra live material that was recorded on the same tour and placed on other LPs (Hoy Hoy, for one).

I'm really enjoyin' it. Again.

little feet factoid: the drums at the beginning of 'fool yourself' were used in some of the greatest hip-hop songs ever made including 'bonita applebaum' and x-clans 'fire and earth'

I'm really getting into this album, also picked up Memory Tapes, pretty cool ish.  Finally got Fever Ray which i had a ton of remixes on other albums but never the original.

I'm digging the Washed Up cd. Good stuff. Check out Local Natives CD, Gorilla Manor. You may like them

William Elliott Whitmore

Very minimalist, but still quite interesting.

[mussa]

On a metal kick right now.

Meshuggah's Alive cd/dvd is awesome

Gojira - The Way of All Flesh - killer

Between the Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect - very interesting stuff. major break ups in music genres mid song. seems to me like a bunch of music school nerds got together and started a progressive metal band, yet still threw in some jazz and other weird stuff. Not sure about it yet but its growing on me.

All worth checking out if your into metal

[ice grillin you]

from the monongahela valley....to the mesabi iron range...to the coal mines of appalachia....the storys always the same....seven hundred tons of metal a day....now sir you tell me the worlds changed.....once i made you rich enough....rich enough to forget my name........



one of the great songs ever from the town it was written for...

Metallica has made a bunch of live recordings free for download.  And not just crappy post-Justice garbage.  Stuff from as early as '82

Once upon a time, Metallica ruled.

Pandora suggested this bad called The Postal Service. I made a channel for it on Pandora and it's good, chill kind of shtein. It's already kept me from lashing out at at least two coworkers.

I dig The Postal Service. Not always in the mood for it, but they're a very solid band.
