Jazz With [Bob Parlocha](http://www.jazzwithbobparlocha.com/) at the moment, I don’t know who the artist is. BB King With Friends in the car today. ---

I just finished Rhapsody’s _Rain of a Thousand Flames_ and Weezer’s first album, and now I’m on to Bolt Thrower’s _The IVth Crusade_. ---

Tricky and a random collection of old scratchy jazz recordings from the 20s and 30s, mostly. ---

I’ve been trying to like Fleet Foxes but it isn’t really happening. They have one or two really nice songs but generally quite underwhelming compared to the praise they’ve garnered. Anway, to the question at hand. Glasvegas - Glasvegas (Phil Spector & The Proclaimers in a blender) Andy Irvine - various of his solo stuff and collaborations. I love his voice and playing style. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago The Pogues -Rarities Boxset The Spook Of The Thirteenth Lock - The Spook Of The Thirteenth Lock (Amazing mix of proggy rock and Irish trad) ---

I’ve mostly been going back and forth between Nick Drake’s _Dig, Lazarus, Dig!_ and Girl Talk’s _Feed the Animals_. I have a big pile of new listens lined up, but I just haven’t been in the mood. ---

Last thing I listened to was Coheed and Cambria’s IV Vol I and II albums back and forth. It’s interesting. Not the greatest or mind blowing or anything. But it’s interesting. ---

Lately, a lot of classical, Moloko, and Madreblu. Not sure if any of you are on last.fm or not, but I love looking at what people are listening to. I’m withbutterflies on there, if anyone’s a member. ---

I have a big pile of new listens lined up, but I just haven’t been in the mood. I tried Girl Talk, listened to I think 3 albums, and after awhile it just kind of became white noise. It was just too random, and he never seemed to focus on anything long enough to make any kind of point. Excellent, excellent mixing, but little else, to my ear. ---

> [@An\_Gadai](#): > > Nick Drake did an album called Dig, Lazarus, Dig! too? 🙂 Shit. Someday I’ll learn to keep Nick Cave, Nick Drake, and Nick Lowe straight. DLD! is by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, of course. ---

I’m still recovering from the juxtaposition of the middle movement of Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor and “Howling At The Moon” by the Ramones. Memo to self: do not put _everything_ on the Ipod on shuffle - stick to genres. ---

I am listening to a lot of **The Fenians** right now, and their singer introduced me to **Aslan** just the other day (Crazy World, specifically). Both are pretty damned good. ---

As I’m writing this, I’m listening to [“A Quick One While He’s Away”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCKlr5qeiQY) by the Who (YouTube link). Lately, I’ve been listening a lot to [Conor Oberst](http://www.conoroberst.com/)’s new self-titled CD and “The Stand-Ins,” the new CD from [Okkervil River](http://www.okkervilriver.com/). ---

Aslan are huge here as well you may know. That was always their biggest song. This Is by them is a great one too and some of their recent tracks. I always thought they should have been bigger though. What sort of music are The Fenians? Poguesy? ---

Last music I listened to before going to work was David Cook’s new self-titled album (yes, the guy who won American Idol this year). I really like it. and yes I like the Fleet Foxes too. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-you-listening-to/473786.md?page=2)
