I may be a little anal about my music...but i would rather be prepared than be forced to listen to some shiite radio program.

Toodles!

If you aren't anal about your music, it probably doesn't mean that much to you. I just discussed them so I'm listenin' to the new Libertines demo...I mean album, REALLY LOUD. Otherwise, I've been listening to a personal mix (talk about anal), new Bjork, Drive-By Truckers, Mclusky, Guided By Voices. I think I need the new Black Keys RIGHT NOW! Later, Gators.

Listening to the new The Music album. It hurts.

Finally a playlist thread.

Fennesz - Venice
Stereolab - Margerine Eclipse
Saturday Looks Good To Me - Every Night
Sixtoo - Chewing On Glass And Other Miracle Cures
Spoon - Kill The Moonlight
Saturday Looks Good To Me - All Your Summer Songs
Spoon - Girls Can Tell
AC/DC - Highway To Hell

Most recent to least, all from today:

Omar Rodriguez - A Manual Dexterity sdtk vol. 1
Beck - Sea Change
Blood Brothers - Crimes
Blood Brothers - Crimes

When I'm in the car, I listen to CDs. At home and in the office, I listen to CDs, a few online radio stations, and the Rhapsody music-on-demand service, which is just about my favorite thing in the world right now. I generally dump just about anything that catches my attention into a massive playlist (around 800 tracks) and listen on shuffle play.

Lately, I've been checking out a few albums based on PopMatters' recent "The Fate of The Album" article. Today, the year is 2001, so I've been listening to:

Aterciopelados Gozo Poderoso (BMG U.S. Latin)
Daft Punk Discovery (Virgin)
Dashboard Confessional The Places You Have Come To Fear the Most (Vagrant)
Guided By Voices Isolation Drills (TVT)
Of Montreal Coquelicot Asleep In The Poppies: A Variety Of Whimsical Verse (Kindercore)

However...

Now Playing: The Cards down 3-0 in the top of the third in San Diego

I'm playing, as I put together lectures on Rationalism and Empiricism in epistemology (for my intro class) and on moral theory and abortion (for my medical ethics class):

The Smithereens: From Jersey It Came: The Smithereens Anthology

Paul Westerberg: Folker

Maplewood: Maplewood

Champale: Simple Days

David Kilgour: Frozen Orange

The Shore The Shore

But currently, the music's off and I'm watching/listening to the Cards and Padres in the 6th.

Sixtoo - Chewing On Glass And Other Miracle Cures

---

I didnt think it was possible...but i actually have played myself out of this album.Albeit after a hundred listens or so....it is still right up there as one of my favorite albums so far this year.And it might push out dj signify for the darkest release this year!

I get so hung up on listening to new music that I sometimes forget to return to some of the albums from earlier in the year that I've liked, so this morning I'm spinning some of my favorites for 2004 including...

Ambulance Ltd. LP (TVT)
Loretta Lynne Van Lear Rose (Universal)
The Magnetic Fields i (Nonesuch)
Nellie McKay Get Away From Me (Sony)
The Real Tuesday Weld I, Lucifer (Six Degrees)
Little Darla Has A Treat For You Vol. 21 (Darla)
The Walkmen Bows And Arrows (Record Wilco A Ghost Is Born (Nonesuch)
Collection)

...among others.

Now Playing: "Litoral" Entre Ros Little Darla Has A Treat For You Vol. 21 (Darla)

This is almost ridiculous, LT, unless it isn't or we're supposed to do this kinda thing. I played "i" for my wife two days ago. I played the new Loretta Lynn and Wilco today before I read this post. I played half of my "prospective top ten" of this year later on today, enough to know that so far, "Van Lear Rose" is a definite #1 and "A Ghost is Born" is a definitely almost-certain #2. I've got some more, but I'll post an "almost definite top 10 so far" in a few days at "Best of."

Listening To...Or at least planning To!

Fat John-Lightweight Heavy
Hood-Cold House
Broken Social Scene-You forgot it in people

The "What Are You Listening to Right Now?" thread replaced this thread late last week. In rereading it, I think Sweetie had the right take on Imprezu's original intent and now that I have an mp3 player locked on shuffle throughout the day, I've really come to fully appreciate the value of thinking in terms of what bunch of artists/albums we're all listening to at any given moment.

With apologies in advance to Imprezu, I've updated the topic to make the distinction a bit more clear.

My mp3 player is relatively small (5GB), so I probably have around 1,000 tracks on random play when I don't have something specific in mind that I want to hear. In the time that I've been logged on tonight I've been listening to tracks from:

Max Roach We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite
butterCUP sick yellow flower
De Novo Dahl Cats & Kittens
Kasabian Kasabian
The Negro Problem Welcome Black
Ben Lee Awake is the New Sleep
The Soundtrack of Our Lives Origin Volume 1

It's no surprise to me that my mp3 player is weighted a little more heavily towards new stuff. Older favorites are generally reserved for more directed listening.

Now Playing: "Believe I've Found" The Soundtrack of Our Lives Origin Volume 1

For the last week or two I've been pretty much stuck on a few cds that I've had on pretty solid repeat.

Johnny Cash - Bitter Tears
Nina Simone - Jazz Masters 17
Serge Gainsbourg - 2 disk comp from Universal that doesn't seem to have any kind of title (s/t i guess)
The Quintet - Jazz at Massey Hall
A comp I made from some songs passed on from several members on this board that I have really been enjoying.

I'm busy rating 2005 Cd's....so, today fully played....
M83 - Before the Dawn Heals Us
Lemon Jelly - 64-95
Gorillaz- Demon Days
Edan - Beauty And The Beat.

other weekend listens - Flaming Lips - Yoshimi..., Coltrane - A Love Supreme, Jaga - What We Must.

Lately it's been:
Neutral Milk Hotel - Both albums, and live all the live stuff I have of Jeff Mangum
Devin Davis - Lonely People of the World, Unite!
Stephen Malkmus - Face the Truth
Art Brut - Bang Bang Rock & Roll

Lately, I've been playing mainly the new Oasis, Maximo Park, The Shout Out Louds, the upcoming Fountains of Wayne comp, and the new Robbie Fulks.

The one non-new release disc that keeps popping in...British Sea Power's Open Season. I've noticed that many people around here were disappointed by it, but it will almost certainly be in my year end top ten. I'm not exactly sure what it is that binds me to it, but I'm absolutely hooked.
