What are you listening to?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I’m listening to Hank Williams, Sr., the best country in the world and the best music to listen to while hacking on older systems (something about obsolete hardware running in emulation on obsolete hardware just fits old country).

I really love old country and I really can’t stand any kind of new country. The “Honky-Tonk Blues” or “Why Don’t You Love Me Like You Used To Do?” makes me tap my feet, but any new country makes my hair stand on end and my teeth begin to grate. Odd.

So, what do Dopers surf to?

I am listening to nothing, but the sounds of my quite touch keyboard…
Oh…

and the muffled cries of the woman chained up in my closet…

3

I’ve got Secret Weapons of World War II in the DVD player. Every so often the narrative sounds interesting, and I step over for a look. It’s a way to get the good stuff from a documentary with many ho-hum stretches.

4

“The Chase.”

A famous tenor saxophone duel (famous among jazz nuts, anyway) between Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray, released on the Dial label in 1947. Rhythm section was Jimmy Bunn, Red Callendar, and Chuck Thompson.

5

Country music here, old or new. Right now, I’m listening to Country Gold Saturday Night on the radio. “Love Me Like You Used To” to be specific.

6

Now I’m listening to Disturbed “Prayer”, it’s pretty good…

speaking to the crumpled mass in the closet

QUIET YOU!!

7

Hmmm…alright, maybe I just crossed the line in what is considered “good taste”…

8

I found a whole bunch of Mp3 Christmas carols on the computer and have been listening to them. I forgot they were there.

Oh, shut up.
It’s my birthday. I’ll listen to whatever I want.

9

Im listening to footsteps and my dog panting and him walking around upstairs.

10

My mom’s Sade CD…I discovered her in the airport shuttle coming back from D.C. “Your Love is King”, to be specific. Such a slick track.

11

I’ve been listening to movies all day (put them on the TV and listen… glance over when they are interesting) right now Independence Day is in… soon I plan to be putting on some country tunes… Stampeders and Highwaymen mostly… as my roomie hates them so I only listen when he isn’t home.

Happy b-day BiblioCat!!

Device-Voice-Drum, a “live” CD recorded in a studio with a choir, even, before some contest-winning fans. Excellent sound and highly recommended to Kansas fans.

13

I was just listening to PJ Harvey’s Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, but then I came in here and just started listening to Pete Yorn’s Musicforthemorningafter.

Happy birthday, BiblioCat!

14

The soundtrack to the '90s Oz movie, “The Big Steal”. Nice collaboration between Tim Finn and Phil Judd, some great Oz band tracks on it too.

15

Right now, it’s Jack Johnson, “Brushfire Fairytales.” Also in the CD changer right now: Waverly Consort’s “Music from the Age of Discovery;” a Latin Grammys 2000 compilation; the Schubert Mass in G; and Joan Osborne’s first album. All in all, an eclectic bunch, but not as eclectic as it frequently is.

That, and an alternately meowing and snoring cat.

16

Aerosmith’s “Toy’s In The Attic.” Really, really loud.

17

I am presently listening to Glorious Din, a San Francisco indie band from the early 1980s who would have been at least a little more famous if they had been from the north of England and recorded for Factory or Rough Trade Records.

Ah memories.

18

The Flaming Lips’ “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.” It’s a musical hug. Mind-altering drugs are purely optional.

19

The sound of one hand clapping.

Just installed a sound card today.

Best of Wayne Shorter.
