Title: What Are Ya Listening To?
Post by: Rhythm N. Bliss on February 07, 2008, 02:27:22 PM
FREE~ All Right Now (a Greatest Hits collection, I also have Fire & Water)
Get Where I Belong is my fav off this collection. Bass on Songs of Yesterday is PUMPIN'!

Stephen Stills self titled 1970 album~ Fav right now is CHEROKEE.
This cut has the same feel as the Animals MONTEREY which is GREAT too!!
Horns & sitar!!

As for a good band from THIS millenium--lately I've been gettin' back into AUDIOSLAVE....their first one.
Teach Me How To Live is my fav & GASOLINE is good too!!

Interesting selection - I play Free Live sometimes to remind me of what bass players used to be able to get away with.

That Stephen Stills album is incredible for its time, I've got the Cd and the original vinyl. Guest spots from Hendrix and Clapton. I can sort of play "Love the one you're with" on guitar, if I've had enough to drink. I think Black Queen is still my favourite. I also love some of the old Buffalo Springfield tracks.

Saw Audioslave live once, great night. But I gather they've split and RATM is back, which is ok too. I have a bootleg of Audioslave at Montreux where Chris Cornell takes a long time to warm up to the vocals, but then does a great solo acoustic Black Hole Sun.

I was gutted to miss Queens of the StoneAge when they were touring here, but they played stupidly small venues and sold out in 5 seconds flat. For compensation I got to see Korn who were boring as hell (but my wife and daughter like them).

I've been listening to strange selections lately.

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits (I love that song "You Got Lucky"
ELO - Discovery (always fun to play along with "Shine A Little Love"
Spinners - Mighty Love (a great CD recently remastered)
Darryl Hall And John Oates - The Atlantic Collection (some lost gems)
Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains The Same (newly remastered with extra tracks, JPJ still kills on the title song!)
I made an cool old Country mix cd with a bunch of oldies on it. (Charlie Rich, George Jones, Lynn Anderson, Waylon, Donna Fargo, Freddy Fender, etc.

Right now I'm listening to the Pixies. "Debaser" from Doolittle, if you want to be specific.

30 minutes from now, who knows?  :)

In my car stereo? New Sheryl Crow, Herr Dasson's überlauter Thunderbird on the Johnny Smoke CD, a Jean Luc Ponty anthology, a Cult anthology and Benedictum's*** new (second) CD.

Last week it was UFO's three new remasters of Phenomenon, Force it (a pun on faucet, hence the cover of a couple making out in a bathroom, I only grasped that now  :-[) and No Heavy Petting plus their mid-nineties (aborted) reunion album Walk on Water. Not to forget: A compilation of Ober-Womble Mike Batt singing the songs he's written for mostly other people like Art Garfunkel (Bright Eyes) and Katie Melua (Closest thing to crazy).

I'm a musical whore!


***Benedictum?

A Westcoast multiracial heavy metal four-piece

http://www.benedictum.net/

with a singer with a voice to match her ... I think voluptuous is the word ... exterior.

(http://www.benedictum.net/v15.jpg)


She sounds like a mix of Dio, Halford  and Ann Wilson ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LOHKMna-Hc

... and does rather credible Ronnie James Dio impressions, except that she is probably twice as tall as he is:

Wow.  Well Jean Michel Jarre doesn't look like her, but for some reason I've been retro-nostalgia mode and listening to the Oxygene-Equinox-Magenetic Fields Triology alot the last couple of weeks.  Way ahead of his time, and *ahhh* ANALOG synth.  I miss them... :'(

 The Best of INXS.

What a fantastic band in the studio and live. Garry Beers knows his place in the music. His playing is understated but always where it needs to be.  "Mystify" for me is evocative, dark, sexy even hauntingly beautiful.

Jarre! Images and Chronologie are in my recently played pile, I have Oxygene and Equinox, but didn't know they were 2/3rd's of a trilogy. I'll have to start looking for Magnetic Fields, I guess. BTW my favorite is Jean Michel Jarre in Concert/Houston Lyons. One show I would have liked to seen.

Well, I'm not sure its an "official" trilogy.   Its the only 3 I listened to back in the day, so for me they are.  I downloaded all 3 off of iTunes last week.  iTunes is awesome!

I'm listening to various things at the moment.

Some Oasis CDs cos I'm in an Oasis phase again. Same with The Small Faces. Tin Soldier still is one of the best pop songs ever.

Also listening to Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse, the new British soul girl Duffy, some remastered Van Morisson CDs they send me ( a live double album (Too late to stop now) and Tupelo Honey) to review and some Shadows because of this UK made Burns Bass I'm testing.

I continue to notice some - however light - jazz rock aversion - or should I say ignorance?  :-X - in this forum, Herr Fertig's valiant attempts to the contrary notwithstanding.  ;D ;D ;D

I applaud John's intrepid waving the banner for all things fusion. Not all people are as tolerant. Saturday evening, I'm cooking in the kitchen, we will have guests, Edith comes from the shower, I have Jean-Luc Ponty playing. She (very carefully): "What is that?" I (even more carefully): "Jean Luc-Ponty, it is very light jazz rock ...". She: "On a bad day that can give me headaches, I hate that ostinato way of repeating the same theme over and over ...". I (definitely losing ground): "Well, I'm glad it's not one your bad days then ..." Couple of minutes later, Edith had decided that a bad day was definitely approaching with Jean-Luc continuing, so she puts on soothing Van Morrison instead "because the guests like that". A much weaker man than John, I surrendered ...  ;D :D :)

You know you can always throw her a curve by putting on some Stan Ridgway or a little Adrian Belew?

That's pretty erudite criticism for a Saturday night, compared to

"You don't like this, do you? It's awful. Let's have some Jamie Cullum."

Let's keep this thread goin', ok?

I've been listening to Dudley Moore's great piano album of his original toons--Songs Without Words.
He was great! This is my fav dinner music & background music when classy guests come over.

KWS~ Kenny Wayne Shepherd
LOVE Ledbetter Heights esp. his first hit single from it Deja Voodoo! Great song!
I also have Live On & luvvit too!!

Saw him do a few songs at NAMM with Double Trouble & Noah Hunt on vocals.
I'd love to see a whole show.

Not really putting anything on intentionally recently.  A couple weeks ago, I got T. Rex's Tanx, and spent a few days with that.

Mostly, it's CD101, a local indie radio station that keeps me current.
