Inspired by LT's "Now Playing", why don't we include everyone, including LT?

"At Least That's What You Said" by Wilco.

The ending of "Muzzle of Bees" by Wilco is killing my soul (but I will survive!)...and now "Handshake Drugs" by youknowwho. This album ISN'T TREMENDOUS?

OK. I know YOU wanna kill me now, but I'm listenin' to "Company in My Back" by the Chicago Wannabees, and it's really gettin' to me. The piano and dulcimer are mind-boggling!

Kylie Minogue - Fever

For the record, I back this completely. Beginning to end. No tracks skipped.

"Unrecorded" M83 Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts (Mute)

"Santa Claus Likes Rich Kids Better" by Young and Sexy.

This is part of my friend Cliff's Christmas compilation, the highlight of my holiday music listening each year. He compiles new (and old) holiday music for all his friends.

This years includes songs by Simple Plan, The Raveonettes, Fall Out Boy, Dashboard Confessional, Chuck Prophet and Stephanie Finch, Ryan Adams, David Mead, The Pearlfishers, Bruce Robison, and (a suprisingly good track by) Hilary Duff.

I'd thought about getting that new Pearlfishers Christmas CD. How is the song on your compilation?

The only tune of theirs that I've heard to date is the title track from "Sky Meadows".

The Xmas song is very good and I can HIGHLY recommend all of the Pearlfishers catalog if you like lush, orchestrated power pop. Maybe I'll post something on the topic under "I Recommend" later on today...

I'll do so, E, under the Xmas music thread...

"An Ordinary Day in the Suburbs" The Pearlfishers (The Young Picnickers, Marina 1999)

hmmmn...

sounds the same to me...maybe not...just trying my hand at it.HA

Have fun.

Yes, they sound similar, but mine means "right now", while you're typing, what song(s)?

"Down on Mission Street" by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions (from 1984's Rattlesnakes...the 2004 remastered and extended version).

OK...now it's "Forest Fire" (the extended version).

I love the commentary in the booklet...they say that, in a 1984 review, Julie Birchill claimed she had no time for "a country and western Velvet Underground." Those Brit crits always crack me up...

"War on War" Wilco...They are just so addictive, I can't seem to listen to anything but them recently.

Right this minute.....Fonzi Thornton - "The Leader".
Yet another long forgotten vinyl only 80s r&b gem!

Right about now, I'm harkening back to The Four Horsemen 's "Nobody Said it Would Be Easy" (circa 1991) featuring their only big hit (and I use that in relative terms), "Rockin' is Ma' Business" (And Business is Goooood). Quality southern fried rock in the same vein as Kings of Leon and new Lynrd Skynrd.... Not bad...

Next up on the CD rack:

Love & Rockets - Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Let's Go Bowling - Music to Bowl By
Joy Division - Substance
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Shock Treatment - Original Soundtrack
Black Flag - Wasted Again

I'm flicking through all of the oldies at the moment. I am now listening to "Bohemian Rhapsody." Up next: Led Zepplin "Stairway to Heaven."

Edit: Now I'm at "Iron Man."

Edit, Edit: Now I am listening to "Free Bird"

PASTE.


I bought that magazine recently and if anyone here in the Metacritic crowd likes a.) good indie music, b.) great indie feature films, shorts, and docs, or c.) likes free stuff check out Paste at your local magazine store.

For those unfamiliar with the magazine it features "independant arts". To get an idea this month's mag features articles on Tom Waits "Real Gone", Wes Anderson's "The Life Aquatic", The current state of French Cinema, U2's new album, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

BUT, that's not all!!! With every issue comes a 23 track Sampler CD, and a DVD packed with 4+ hours of Music Videos, Concert Footage, Short Films, and Several Trailers....

And all for SIX bucks!!!

I went to their website and clicked on "Radio" and am astonished that I have been listening to Gary Jules "Mad World", The Flaming Lips "Fight Test", Oasis "Wonderwall", consecutively!!!

PASTE is not a bad mag.

The articles are usually a little fluffy, but the span of artists and topics is good. I never listen to the free comp discs, though. I don't know why...
