I’m “listening” to people behind me talk about a bunch of stupid stuff. I’d call it hearing more than listening, cause I’m trying to block it out. Is there a nice way to tell someone to shut up and do some work without sounding like a prick?
Triple J FM radio, waiting for Merrick and Rosso to start. Though that won’t be for another two and a half hours yet. (That is, if they’re back from their holiday break yet)
A mediocre British '60’s musical called “Come Spy With Me”. Specifically the last track on side 1 “Assassinating Rhythm”. It’s actually better than the name implies, but then…it would kind of have to be. I got a stand-alone CD burner (connects to your stereo, doesn’t need a computer) for Hannukah and I’m backing up a bunch of out of print albums.
Just downloaded this from Motorhead official site. Awesome tune. Next up is Hawkwind “Bring Me The Head of Yuri Gagarin Live 1973”, which has an incredible track called “Silver Machine”.
POWERHOUSE TRUMPET, with Conte Condoli on the title instrument, plus Bill Holman on tenor sax, Lou Levy on piano, Leroy Vinnegar on bass, and Lawrence Marable on drums.
Recorded in L.A. in 1956. Slammin’ example of West Coast jazz at its LEAST laid-back.
“Clean the Machine,” by Final Cut. Next up, the Lemonheads’ “Ride With Me.” On a mix tape I made back in 1993 that is still one of my favorites, because it reminds me of high school.
The voices in my head…no, Lord Oestrapolous! Anything but that! My knees! In the name of all things sacred, MY KNEES! I don’t speak Japanese you fruit!
It’s quiet time right now. Tonight at work though I listened to…
NOFX - Pump up the Valuum
NOFX - The Decline
The Vandals - Hitler bad, Vandals good
The Specials - Too much too young
and…
Flogging Molly - Swagger (Someone gave this CD to me after seeing these guys at warped tour and they are AWESOME. It’s kinda like Irish folk music with a modern twist on it, check it out)
