What MUSIC are you listening to?
 

I listen to loud music while I work..... I assume a lot of webmasters do?

What are you listening to at the moment?

I have iTunes playing random from my entire music library, 18 gigs, and at this very second this is playing Android Lust's Kingdom of One.

lol, I use to be so into music, and now.....

If I have anything on it's usually CNN

I keep CNN on with the TV muted. If I see something that looks interesting then I mute the music and turn up the TV but I find reality pretty boring most of the time. :D

Right now, Redd Kross live in Vancouver '97. Also on current playlist: Husker Du, Elvis Costello, Pixies, Butthole Surfers, Nirvana, Elliot Smith, Soundgarden, Queen, the Velvet Underground.

At the moment the Cubs game, which is normal for me this time of year. |bananna|


When I'm not watching/listening to the Cubs then something on HBO more likely than not. :)

I listen to local radio until 10, then Stern from 10 til he goes off. Then it's ESPN until the local news at noon, then back to ESPN until 3 when Don & Mike come on until 7, then it's the standard TV schedule for whatever day of the week it is :)

Right now.. "Constant Buzz" by 'Noisy CPU Fan" :(


then again it's 5am so I cant listen to shit;(

DD

D12, DMX, 2 PAC, 50 cent

TV either ESPN or CNN

Just now Mahavishnu Orchestra, Birds of Fire.

I have Musicmatch Jukebox in PC and some 5200 songs. Just other day it went mad. I thought playlist was too long and deleted the whole library and cleaned the playlist.

Then I added just one artist and put some 100 songs to playlist. It freezed again.

Yesterday I tried again and that time it played OK.

Still I have been playing CDs today. John Coltrane, Lee Ritenour, Miles Davis, John McLaughlin, John Scofield etc.

I like rock music too, lol! But not much after 80s, and even 80s was more than little bit of shitty side. Well, I'm old fart.

Ynotradio for the last two weeks... sometimes I switch to some alternative radiostation when there are some good shows on :)

Normally the science channel, history, or outdoor life channel in the background.
In the car - NPR
Stopped listening to music about 10 years ago. (though the kids get the stereo rocking every once in awhile)

Two new CD arrived today. Godsmack and Korn. So that is whats playing loud right now.

Is there a web url for Stern on radio? I've looked on his site and a load of others and drawn a blank. I think you're 5 hours behind me in buffalo, so his show would be on around 3pm my time?

6 CD's in my changer at the moment:

Frank Zappa (Freak Out)
Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies (Have a Ball)
Pink Floyd (Animals)
Jimmi Hendrix (Box Set Disk 3)
Stone Roses (Second Coming)
The ink Spots (Greatest Hits)

Mostly just MSNBC till the wife turns on the lifetime channel then its all over |jester|

Even that damn Kenny Loggins "i'm so in luv with ya honey" song rocks.

I don't think he broadcast's it over the internet :( He's on from 6-10:30 or so over here, bit I only listen from 10 on because I like my local guys :)

Damn straight. I love that tune too.

That and "Seasons in the Sun" ...lol

No worries, thanks for the info anyway mate :)

Listening to the new Slum Village LP.
Its great morning work music! |afro|

Classical versions of Iron Maiden songs.

You know, during a drunkin stupor a few weeks ago, me & an old buddy were talking aobut music & what's out these days & how neither of us were really into any of it. We then started to think about the last time an album moved us (and yes, I know I am dating myself by using the term "album - LOL) It took me a little bit to think of one that Idid truly enjoy. The last Foo Fighters was very good, as are any of the White Stripes albums. But the last time I was seriously moved by anything was the last Tool CD - I love Tool & wish they'd put out more albums. But fuck, the last one was 2001, so it's been 3 years.

Back in the day, I was just floored by all the bands & albums coming out one after another that were just fucking great. Nirvana's Nevermind & In Utero, Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream, Pearl Jam's 10 & Versus, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Blow Sugar Sex Magic, Soundgarden's Bad Motor Finger, Tool's Undertow, Alice In Chain's Facelift & Dirt....the list goes on - all of these album's moved me when they came out & I can listen to any of them right now & feel comfortable.

Of course, I was on a lot more drugs back then :D

I've gone way back in time today with the Scary Monsters album from 1980.

Bowie's last really good album--though, to be fair, I haven't heard the last few.

hmmmmm

mostly I listen to the following:

Joy Division
Nico
Dead Can Dance
Chris and Cosey
Brian Eno
The Cure
Dave Brubeck
Mozart
Sisters of Mercy
Patti Smith
Bowie

|smooch|

No shit I`d love to hear a new Tool cd come out! The first A Perfect Circle was pretty bad ass too have`nt heard much from the new one though.

JanTM which Korn did you just get?

Gimme anything but country and opera!

Yep, that tingle down the spine feeling you got when listening to a great album, especially for the first time, seems to get less and less these days for me.... although I'm sure there is loads of good shit out there ... and I'm just out of touch...

There are some albums I can listen too that still have same effect for me like they did back in the 80's... Joshua Tree.. Lou Reed's New York, REM's Green... those were the days!!! Don't know about there being more drugs back then.... but damn it - the quality was better

:D

Music for me has come full circle.

When I was very young I would go by the record store and pickup a 45 rpm single and add this to the stack on my phonograph where I would play them over and over again until I either got sick of the tune or wore out the vinyl.

Then came the days of 8 tracks, LPs, then CDs and making casettes of my favorite tunes, but most of the time just listening to albums as making up cassettes was such a pain in the ass and anyway you pretty much couldn't buy single tracks anyway.

Now we have MP3s and I find myself back to buying single tracks, often in the morning while sipping coffee, - and listening to playlists that I make just by drag and drop in a few seconds that are also automatically copied to my iPod when I drop it in its charger. It is kind of strange to be carrying every piece of music that I own always with me and I find myself often just listening to random play from my whole music collection.

hehe!! 45's... I remember them - just ;-) the first single I ever owned was Let's Dance by Chris Montez a little later than when it came out in 62' around 69'. I aquired it from my mum along with a copy of the West Side Story soundtrack, which was the first album I owned. I was 8 years old at the time and had just been given the old family radiogram when it was replaced with a HI-FI. Don't know if anyone else remembers those - big fuckers they were, made of solid wood and valves, but they sounded great - when I got older it doubled as a hiding place for my porn mag collection! Bet you can't do that with no ipod :D

The first album I ever bought myself was Sheer Heart Attack by Queen.

Vacuum tubes, last great devices to play real music, memories of days gone by…









Yeah right, I'm a music junk music junky, just a mood drug to me, whatever makes me feel good at the moment. Give me modern electronics and music files on a drive any day. :D

Dayum! You have no idea how close that sounds to my childhood.. just at the other end of the globe from you :p

I used to think the radiogram record stacker part was just sooooo high-tech LOL

The version of "Lets Dance" I first remember was by Chris Rea though (same song?)....... and the first album I got was "Rock Around The Clock" by Bill Haley and the Comets. I gave Mum my money and trusted her to buy the "Howzat" album by Sherbet, but she said she couldnt find it and came home with that! It was a bright pink album cover and I thought it was very very gay. (years later it did get played though)

I dont really get into much of the current contemporary music.. grunge was the last good period for radio music imho.

I have tortured my brains and tried to remember if I got my first record player 1970 or 1971, but I can't remember.

Anyway, some of the albums I bought back then was:

Who's Next - The Who
Abraxas - Santana
Master of Reality - Black Sabbath
Band of Gypsys - Jimi Hendrix
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cosmo's Factory
Janis Joplin - Pearl
Doors - Absolutely Live
Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water

etc.

I was 13 or 14 so I was in a mercy of my parents. They let me buy one album per month. At 15 I was old enough to work and after that I bought my albums myself.

At those days you could buy old jukebox 45's from 1FIM per single. At that times 1FIM was 25 american cents. After some years I had tons of old used 45's.

After army I started my career as DJ but that's another story. It meant more singles, 7" and 12", lol!

Guess what? My ears peep like Neil Young's and I don't hear anything after 10,000 hertz, just silence.

Haha!! Same generation mate more or less.... I remember the first CD player I bought - 1986 - it was Sony or a Sanyo brand, can't remember exactly which - but it was small and had a flip top lid.

I bought my first 3 compact discs too on the day I got it.


True Stories - Taliking Heads
Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits
and Press To Play by Paul MCartney (Choice was limited back then) :D

Sabbath!!! |headbang| |headbang| |headbang| |headbang|

'You'll burn in fucking hell listening to that shit' said my old man years ago... Parents ehh!!! Sheesh

That really would be funny, if not so ironic eh PP ;-)


You bloody HIPPY Finbear :P

Did I hear someone mention Dave Brubeck a little way back? time to search the mp3 CDs i think :)

Damn right mate |thumb

Damn Finnbear 10k! What did you do run sound for ManOWar?!

The first album I remember actually owning was Beatles A Hard Days Night I got second hand in about `71. I was 6 yrs old. Funny I was playing guitar and piano before I had a record player!

Vaccuum tube gear still rules!!|rock|

The first LP that I remember buying was Iron Butterfly In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. I did buy 45s before that. I was told by my mother that when I was really young that the only way she could get me to go to bed and fall asleep was to play Elvis Presley's I'm nothing but a hound dog. LOL
