Well, you did say nothing heavy. :slight_smile:

And, y’know, I used to think i had pretty eclectic music tastes 'till i started hanging round here…

I’ve been listening to:

Talvin Singh: OK
Kruder and Dorfmeister: the K&D Sessions
Wes Montgomery: Some collection of the stuff he did for Verve
Ash: Free All Angels
Mighty Mighty Bosstones: Let’s face it
Beach Boys mix CDs

On the beach boys thing, it just struck me as I was wailing along with them, how ridiculous is it for 5 nerdy guys doing part harmonies to sing:

"My buddies and me are getting real well known
Yeah, the bad guys know us and they leave us alone "

Can you imagine the fear they must have struck into the hearts of the bad guys? “Okay, fellers, we don’t want no trouble, just please don’t bring out that barbershop stuff now.”

Nothing ‘Cool’ on my list, but lots that’s ‘cool’ (or is it the other way around? ;))

Lyle Lovett - Lyle Lovett
Rocket From the Tombs - The Day The Earth Met …
Alice Cooper - Best of
Black Flag - First Four Years
Dolly Parton - Halos and Horns
Velvet Underground - Loaded sessions
Henry Rollins/Black Flag - Get In The Van
The Doors - Bright Midnight live in America

Sorry for the late reply – I only just re-checked this thread.

I would describe it as retro-synth music, I suppose. Very faithful to early '80s keyboard music, but with a more self-aware theme (the whole image seems to be about recreating a Clockwork Orange-style distopia) and a bit more of a funky edge.

In no particular order, these are the CDs that I’ve been playing most of the time:
[ul]
[li]The best that I could do - John Mellencamp[/li][li]Cuttin’ Heads - John Mellencamp[/li][li]The Definitive Monkees - The Monkees (Duh!)[/li][li]Maroon - Barenaked Ladies[/li][li]Now that’s what I call quite good - The Housemartins[/li][li]Blue is the Colour - The Beautiful South[/li][li]Chants Tziganes de Hongrie - Kalyi Jag (A fantastic Romani group)[/li][/ul]

Pretty good taste BadHat!

Here’s what has been in my ride (more or less).

Lips: Yoshimi
Wilco: YHF
Dale Watson: Blessed or Damned

Robbie Robertson: Storyville
Ween: Chocolate & Cheese
R.E.M.: Reveal
Robert Palmer: Sneakin Sally thru the Alley

Custom - Beat Me
Sam Roberts - Brother Down
Richard Ashcroft - A Song for the Lovers

And I just discovered Matthew Sweet

[sub][sup]Does this make me an honorary young person?[/sup][/sub]

The cds that spun thru my player today:
Sun Ra and his Arkestra-Greatest Hits
Nusrat Fateh Alleh Khan-Mustt Mustt
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention-We’re Only in it for the Money.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds-Let Love In

At work, A Beautiful Mind Score.

Why, because my job has data entry. Every single track is good, I don’t have to skip, and it’s on non-stop cycle.

I don’t have to turn it down when a client comes in,
they think it is non-offensive Classical Music.

Lately, I’ve been listening to selections from Tommy. Though it’s just marching band show arrangements, not the actual songs.

Otherwise, my current playlist is full of David Bowie and The Police with some additional Meatloaf and Eurythmics songs…inspired by some videos I saw on VH1 a few weeks ago.
