What is in your CD player right now?

We have a 25 disc changer, so I’m not positive of most of them, but a few of my favorates are

Jump Little Children-The Early Years Volume 1
Phish-Farmhouse
Boiled in Lead-Alloy
and a Nields mixed cd

Last CD I had in was Kronos Quartet: Released 1985-1995

To the OP, Ali Farke Toure, yeah! Great stuff! Just been listening to some of his albums (but I put them into mp3 format so not technically on CD).

Santana - Shaman, so far, the instrumental “Victory Is Won” really sticks out.

On deck circle - Naqoyqatsi soundtrack, Philip Glass with Yo-Yo Ma.

Rolling Stones - Forty Licks disc 1

Weezer: The Blue Album.

i cannot listen to “buddy holly” without turning into a total freaking spaz. :smiley:

In the Diskman: Tala Matrix by Tabla Beat Science

Last thing ripped to iTunes: Naqoyqatsi by Philip Glass with Yo-Yo Ma

Hmmm, I really want to say Shoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire, Edith Frost’s Calling Over Time, or The Loose Dogs’ Debut, but really it’s Bowie’s Heathen.

God, I feel so mainstream. I think I need to take a shower.

I don’t have a cd player or a tape player in my car. Driving is “radio time” so I can listen to what’s new. This mentality might have something to do with the fact that radio signals come in poorly in the house, though…

On the other hand, I have a 25 disk changer in the house. And I recently restocked it, which is something I only do every couple of months since I’m lazy. So here’s the complete list of what’s in it :slight_smile:

  1. Better Than Ezra- Friction, Baby

  3. Poe- Haunted
  4. Poe- Hello
  5. Marry Me Jane - Tick

  7. 6Gig- Tincan Experiment (another southern ME band)
  8. Guster- Goldfly
  9. Everclear- Sparkle and Fade
  10. Sponge- Wax Estatic

  19. Crushworthy- It’s All About Me (NH seacoast band, fronted by a former college classmate)
  20. Splender- Halfway Down The Sky
  21. Toad the Wet Sprocket- Dulcinea (their best, IMO)

    23.Jimmy Eat World- Jimmy Eat World
  23. Oleander- February Son
  24. Local H- As Good As Dead

The portable cd player has a cd I made labeled “Summer 2001” which has a lot of songs on it by a lot of groups no one remembers anymore :slight_smile: And Puddle of Mudd.

Badandi, I love Jump Little Children’s song “Cathedrals” but I haven’t heard any of their other songs. Is that song represensitive of their “sound”? If so, I might have to track down a cd by them.

That’s one of the CD’s I have in my car (6 CD changer), along with:

A collection of some Axé and Pagode (groups like ‘Terra Samba’, ‘É o Tchan’, ‘Daniela Mercury’, and ‘Olodum’)

A collection of some Sertanejo (mostly ‘Leandro e Leonardo’ and ‘Zézé di Camargo’)

London Calling from the Clash

A CD from a hilarious Brazilian group called ‘Mamonas Assasinas’ (yes, that does translate as ‘Killer Tatas’), of which all band members died at the peak of their success in a plane crash.

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap from AC-DC
AT HOME:

Turandot from Puccini (Deutsche Grammophon) with Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic, and Roberto Benaglio conducting the Vienna State Opera Chorus and the Vienna Boys Choir.

Calaf - Plácido Domingo
Turandot - Katia Ricciarelli
Liù - Barbara Hendricks

Right now, it’s the Mathew Good Band. (“Beautiful Midnight”)

I don’t see anything pretentious about liking serious music. Nothing to apologize for.

The stuff I’ve been listening to lately (that I have stacked up next to my CD player and haven’t put away yet) includes:

Pictures At An Exhibition and A Night On Bald Moutain by Musorgsky

Blue Bird, The Sampler including numbers from Shorty Rogers, Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, Paul Desmond, The Benny Goodman Quartet (Runin’ Wild), Johnny Hodges and Duke Ellington

Concerto in E Minor by Mendelssohn (with violinist Jadja Salerno-Sonnenberg)

Marches of John Philip Sousa

The King James Version with Harry James and his big band.

Five piano sonatas by Muzio Clementi played by eleven-year-old Albert Wong, who is already a musician mature well beyond his years, and who I predict will be a great artist.

My collection includes a lot more classical, a lot more jazz, and the band organ from the carousel at Griffith Park in Los Angeles. (Actually, that’s on a cassette.)


Geezer

Inflammable Material by Still Little Fingers.

At home, A Little Deeper by Miss Dynamite
On the PC in work for when I have to stay late, London Calling by the Clash and Live as I’ll Ever Be by Chris Smither.

Currently in the car:

Echoes Pink Floyd
Rock Drill Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Deserter’s Songs Mercury Rev
My pwn private headache Geddy Lee (not sure about the title, certainly “my” and “headache” occur)

And the piéce de resistance
Flash Fearless vs the Zorg Women, part four

The 1975 complete Glenn Gould recording of J.S. Bach’s Wohltemperierte Klavier. We’re up to the C sharp minor fugue at the moment.

Right now, in my computer at work, it is The Lord of The Rings Soundtrack and before that it was a cd full of mp3s of Depeche Mode, The Sisters of Mercy and a bunch of other stuff (Don´t worry it is all non-downloaded from CDs I own :)).
