What'ca listenin too........reborn.

[Ripp]

This thread was fading into the sunset on the Hang Out page, and since it really belongs here anyway......

I've just been given a stack of new to me music by a friend and right now I can't stop playing the Into the Wild soundtrack! I'll admit to being a EV fan anyway but the lyrics, music and song structure are all so awesome in the context of the storyline. Great! Now I want to read the book again, then maybe see the movie.

AND;
Billy Bragg and Wilco-Mermaid Ave. They put music to unfinished Woody Guthrie lyrics after Woody died. The end result is amazingly cool!

Warren Haynes live at Bonnaroo
Steve Earle-I Feel Alright

are also playing their fair share!

[Teamfubar]

Downloaded the newest Jack Johnson album today. Jack is about as smooth as they get anymore. Good stuff.

Other than that, a little bit of everything; Queen, the Schoolhouse Rocks! Rocks! album, Mighty Mighty Bosstones. I am all over the board :D!

The Wilco/Bragg stuff is quite good, RIPP!

I am jealous of your Supersucker show. I'll have to see if they're arond KC this year. :cool:

A few months back a co-worker goave me a copy of Raising Sand — the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss collaboration. I browsed through it at the time and found it affable but soon forgot I had it. I just rediscovered it & I'm really getting into the subtleties that each artist in this odd blend brings to the album. Krauss' voice has always made soft love inside my ear canal — a little more tender than the twang of Emmylou — and Plant brings the raw Zepplinesque instrumentation into a bluegrassyness that you'll just have to listen to to feel. Check it out if you're in a laid back mood...

just started a new job in an office full of smiling, energetic and genuinely happy/friendly women. it's alienating, uncomfortable and overwhelming. listening to this album at work is perfection

weedeater -god luck and good speed
excellent stoner doom. fantastic lynrd skynrd cover. not stoner hippie crap, just heavy as hell southern fried doom/sludge

words usually fail me. and some times you just want background sounds. consequently, post metal/ambient stuff has been sounding fantastic lately. neurotrecordings.com has some amazing musicians on their roster. digging mp3's form:

Been checking out Deadheads For Obama w/ Bob Weir,Phil Lesh,and Mickey Hart plus guests. Not too bad really. First Bob and Phil gig since '04.

Working on some Celtic Harp tunes arranged for guitar. I'm going to play 5 tunes at the union hall St. Patrick's party. Here's 3 of them. I'm really still working on them but told a friend I'd put them up on line for her to hear and was running out of time. Plenty of time to really tighten them up though before the party.:

No. I have seen this a while back but I cannot buy it on iTunes. Please send a burned-copy disk to me and I will reimburse you for shipping and then I'll send 9¢ checks to each artist for royalties. ;)

Each and every one of them pickers is genius. Still want a banjo, but I've been enjoying my newish guitar that I recently found on craigslist.

Just bought Drive-by Trucker's newest "Brighter Than Creation's Dark". After one listen I am going to go ahead and call it an instant favorite destined for heavy rotation. It is their best mix of classic southern rock stylings with a mix of blue grass and country so far. If you have not listened to these guys yet, then you owe yourself the opportunity.

Also, if you have Pandora check out my radio station Green Neck Radio.

I love the alt country and occasionally old Dead shows. I noticed that the Dead came up a few times on this forum. There's a free podcast available through itunes called "The Dead Show" which offers a full length Dead set each week of pretty decent quality. Dead Show/podcast for 05/11/07 is my favourite

Ripp-Just search google Pandora Radio. It allows you to set up your own internet radio stations for listening. I get to hear new music from several different genres. One of my stations is Green Neck Radio. (Sun Volt, Johnny Cash, Greg Brown, Split Lip, Allison Brown, bluegrass and roots music.)

If you have trouble finding it shoot me a pm with email and I will send an invite.

[ironspoke]

Ripp,
I've been a big fan of Adams for a few years now and love his latest offering. Check out "Halloweenhead" on Youtube if you havent already done so.

So how do I go about scoring some of these sweet sounds on the internet? Please dont tell me it involves Apple products.

Iron, I think I found the RA show on the Live Music Archive. www.archive.org
It's a zipped file, which was greek to me when i first downloaded it, and I couldn't do anything with it.:mad: But I got a tip for a free program to unzip it from a member on a Drive By Truckers fan site. www.ninebullets.org If you need help PM me I'm happy to help. This music is provided by the tapers with the OK from the performers to be shared. I'm even happy to do a B&P (blanks and postage) if need be. If you want it you should have it!

I love the Whiskeytown that I have but this is my first exposure to RA solo. It's very good!

[Ripp]

fudgedit, I've found Pandora. And added a few bands to the profile or whatever. SO far it's pretty cool, but I don't know how to tap into your Green Neck Radio, there is no option for selecting an existing station. But right now they are playing Yellow Ledbetter, by Pearl Jam which is not a band I had entered, yet. :)

HaHa added a few more bands, pretty cool!

Spoke, I've got Adams' first solo release and like it. What other album of his would you recommend?

[Ripp]

Prior to my opening the "Pandoras box" of internet radio I was listening to Cary Hudson (of Blue Mountain non fame) Cool Breeze. A really good album!
There seem to be a few Alt-Country fans watching this thread right now so I'll take a moment to plug a really great band. You need to buy Blue Mountain Dog Days, right now. There is almost no way you won't be happy. Seriously!
Fudge, Iron, Jerman all you guys like RA, I am so sure you'll like Dog Days I'm willing to.....well, not much really. But It's a great album, buy it.

Once you do, and you love it, let me know, I have a live show of theirs from St. Patties Day 2008 I'd be happy to share.

[mimbresman]

Yesterday on our drive, we listened to Wayne "The Train" Hancock. My wife doesn't get it... I tell her it doesn't get much better; nasally vocals, rock'n electric Gee-Tar, twangy pedal steel Gee-Tar, stand-up bass, wailing trombone. YeeeHAW!

[ironspoke]

Spoke, I've got Adams' first solo release and like it. What other album of his would you recommend?

They all have bright spots.

"Nuclear" from Demolition is probably my favorite tune from him although the rest of that disc isnt that strong.

My personal favorite album from him start to finish is Rock N Roll. He rarely plays any of those songs anymore in their original form. Its an homage so to speak of some of the classic tunes from the 70s and 80s. Listen close and you will catch some Cars, T-Rex, Pink Floyd and several others I cant think of right now off the top of my head.

Cold Roses was very strong but he should have stopped right there instead of putting out the other two records that year. 29 is not worth much except there is one tune on there that is fantastic. It has a kind of Bolero Spanish flair to it. I cant think of the name.

He gets huge credit by the music press for Gold as well as Heartbreaker. I'm more partial to Gold of the first two.

I saw him at Mr. Smalls Theatre here in lovely Millvale back when Cold Roses had just been released. He can be kind of hit or miss but the show I saw was great. He must have scored a good bag of pot before the show and was in a good mood.


Rock n Roll...if you see that on half.com or ebay. Buy it.

Now that this thread is thoroughly kicking again I have a question for the computer/ Windows XP users out there.

My Dell came with Musicmatch software which was taken over by Yahoo. It sucks. Granted its only free software but I know there has to be other stuff out there I can use. Any suggestions regarding plucking something from Nero or Roxio or something like that where I can organize the music and burn CDs??

I have some free Dell dollars I was going to spend on some basic music software but if the good stuff can be had just by a point and a click I might as well opt for that.

Again many thanks to all who have pointed out some great tunes out there on the net.

I use a PC (Sony Vaio) and have had no issues at all with Itunes. I have got tons of music (both purchased through Itunes and ripped from CDs) and a ton of video as well. The only issues I have ever had were a bit of slowdown on the computer when I have too much video loaded into it. I now store most of the video stuff (snowboard, ski, and mt bike videos and video podcasts) on the Ipod, or on a back-up hard drive.

[Ripp]

I use XP, and live with my iPod almost daily, 13xx songs and climbing. My only issue with iTunes is that since I moved my library to an external hard drive, the iTunes on my computer doesn't access the external on it's own. Which for a fairly computer illiterate person means I have to import music into my internal HD, then export it to the external, delete the originals, and then I can't play anything on the computer without "specifiying A path" for each individual song. Not too big a deal since I don't really use iTunes as a primary music source while on the computer. Someone more PC savvy could most likely find a way around this.

[Ripp]

As a disclaimer to my unabashed endorsement of the Blue Mountain CD a few nights ago. I love the CD, but it's much less experimental than most of RA solo stuff. Still great music but more straight forward Alt-country. I still think you guys would like it though.

I'm running on Mac OS and I moved all my music to external HD a while back, and was able to "tell" iTunes that I did that, so it knew where to look. You should dig into the iTunes menus/help to find out how to do that for your version.

There's a few simple ways around this. One would be to import the songs to i-tunes and convert to the Apple format [acc or something]. Another would be to burn cd's and then import them to i-tunes. But importing cd's that don't have track names can be a pain. When you do that,create a songlist from the cd right away so you can find the music.

[Ripp]

At one point all the music in my library was on my computer (internal) and iTunes was fine. Since i moved it (had to HD was full) itunes won't access the external unless I click on way to many things for each individual song I want to play. I've tried creating a new library (really just telling the internal iTunes that there is an external iTunes library) per the instructions of some helpful soul on the apple forums, didn't work. Really, I'd love to resolve this problem but I don't use iTunes for music while at the computer 95% of the time. There is a CD player in the room and I'm really digging the Pandora radio right now too. SO this issue is a bit of a pain, it's far from a disaster.

Beethoven's 7th yesterday when driving towards town at sunset. Venezuelan vistas, pastures, mountains. Nice! :cool:

Slobberbone-Everything You Thought Was Right Today Was Wrong. Very good album on a first listen! A bit of Alt-Country, but mostly just rockin. Interesting lyrics too.

[Knapes]

Just threw some of the following on the ipod:

Dinosaur Jr. - Beyond (Some early stuff I didn't have)
Rise Against - Siren Song of the counter Culture (ever since ROAM came out I've really liked these guys)
Rolling Stones - Not a big fan but some songs like paint it black live up to some of the hype
Eli Young Band - Live From the Jolly Fox (Decent Alt country/Texican country stuff)

There seems to be a big bluegrass theme running on this thread, let me recommend The Yellow Cards from Texas via Canada, very smooth modern blue grass. Also in that same folk/bluegrass originally from Canada theme I've got some friends of mine in a group called Martha's Troubles that have some good tunes (albeit mixed in with some sub-par ones as well) that are worth checking out.

Knapes I too got turned on to Rise Against by a Collective film, the Collective has two Rise Against songs on it from an earlier album.

[rockyrider]

I've been watching a BBC series called the 7 Ages of Rock on CBC's documentary channel. Last night was the Heavy Metal episode which featured Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue and Metallica.

It was amusing to see the interviews with the Black Sabbath guys recounting the decision to write "scary songs" after seeing the movie marquee across from a community centre and pondering at the willingness of people to pay money to be scared. It was too much like the turning point for Doug and Dinsdale Pirhana.

Or the interviews with Rob Halford of Judas Priest which outlined the establishment of leather and studs as the iconic wear of metal heads as an offshoot of his personal S&M wardrobe being used on stage.

I don't know if PBS will ever air the documentary as the language is pretty raw, but if you ever see The Seven Ages of Rock, it's a very well done documentary on rock music.

Sounds pretty good! Doubt American TV standards will allow it, based on your comments. :(

Wolves in the Throne Room -Two Hunters

This is an amazing album. It’s got the prerequisite muffled/screeching vocals, noisey guitars and hammering drums of black metal album, but that’s where the similarities end. Two Hunters filters atmospheric post rock/metal, shoegazer, deep ecology, crust, folk and goth (the real kind, not the mall kind) through black metal. The result is magnificent. It’s got the majesty of black metal, but lacks the stupidity of the genre’s nationalist/racist/homophobic/satanic tendencies. While ethereal interludes and intros is nothing new in this type of music, WITTR take it to another level. -think a more minimalistic Pelican/GSYBE rather than some wanker on a keyboard. These sublime moments aren’t there just as a juxtaposition of the crushing power of the rock parts, but as a perfect accompaniment to the layered and melodic wall of noise/howling screams of frustration. Blast beats segue perfectly into gorgeous female leads which in turn melt into the erie sounds of the nocturnal forest or tortured howls of the damned, helping create an ebb and flow-building and releasing tension. Highly recommended for fans of “smart metal.”

here's an mp3 (http://www.southernlord.com/mp3/01%20I%20Will%20Lay%20Down%20My%20Bones% 20Among%20the%20Rocks%20and%20Roots.mp3) hope it works.

Ps. These fellas are also kinda neat in that they live on a self sustaining farm out in Olympia Washington and are real into Rudolf Steiner.

I'm not a huge metal fan, but that had to be one of the most eliquent reviews of a metal/goth band ever. Hell, I'll probably break off a listen after work based on this review alone. Very nice.

The Bodeans. I heard them on A Prairie Home Companion this weekend and they got stuck in my head. Hadda download Still. The latest album. Still stuck in my head. This is weird.

New James McMurtry. my name is Alice Walker..... pretty spooky stuff

I saw McMurtry live a couple of years ago. Small venue, small cool crowd, and great music made it one of my top live shows ever. I love his songs and they way they tell a story. Guess I need to visit the local record (cd) store.

I noticed a few days ago McMurtry's playing in town tomorrow, :cool: except I'll be out of town. :eek:
Oh well, would have been cool to see him, love the new album!

[ironspoke]

I'm in a funk. I'm listening to nothing new right now music wise. I need to start over.

I'm so bored with my music right now I've been replaying the Books on CD version of "Atlas Shrugged." I mean I've read some books several times before but never right after I just finished it.


I've heard McMurtry before on YEP but am generally not very familiar with his music. Whenever I hear something described as spooky music wise that always sparks an interest. I think I just may have to go out and buy that latest disc. Nothing gets you going like a brand new CD. I also had the Eddie Vedder "Into the Wild" soundtrack in my hand and put it back. Should I buy that also??

Just thinking, I may have to dig out some old BoDeans CD's or at least Robbie Robertson and Sammy Llanas (BoDeans), "Somewhere Down the Crazy River" - good stuff.

I can say with no reservations you should go out and buy the Into The Wild soundtrack, it's amazing. I'll be getting some music out to you pronto, seeing how starved for it you are!

[mimbresman]

About a year ago, a friend downloaded his MP-3 player on my laptop. Lots of old classic blues, etc.
The other night I was listening to Lightning Slim, and then as something completely different, 70's David Bowie.

I've had the Flobots album on repeat in my car and in my head since it came out a few weeks ago. If you like the single (Handlebars) and wonder if there's more to this band, the answer is a YES.

[poison idea]

the Grails -take reguge in clean living (pretty f'n awesome psychedelic instrumental album. proggy at times, ambient at others. slow building grooves that eb and swell and often peter out into nothingness. OM meets hawkwind meets Mahavihnu Orchestra)

Black mountain -s/t (pretty sweet but not nearly as good as in the future)
Sicko -you feel the love in this room
shellac -live at action park, terraform

[Spatafore]

Just started listening to Trevor Hall.

[Moe\/elo]

Revisiting old 80's and early 90's ska (Madness, Specials, the Selecters, etc) and early skanking reggae (Skattelites, Toots and the Maytals, Desmond Dekker). And, it is feeling good!

I've been listening to alot of reggae and old school hip hop. Then I got into this 80's rock thing for awhile and now i'm into this down tempo groove :cool:

[mimbresman]

Right now I am listening some Tom Waits. Being a person who does not listen to a whole lot of music, I am not sure how to classify his music. Some is kind of jazzy, some is bluesy, some is folksy. :cool: :confused: Anyway, it's pretty good.

[mimbresman]

Digging around in my MP-3 files I found a funky recording of The Dave Brubeck Quartet; Bravo Brubeck recorded live in Mexico. Its way cool. Very energetic. They have a great cover of "Alla' El Rancho Grande". I've heard this tune played on New Mexico music stations. Nice! :cool:

[Spatafore]

Just discovered an artist named Trevor Hall about 2 months ago. Awesome artist!

That is some hard core stuff and certainly not for the faint of heart. For someone like you who classifies yourself as a "passive" listener to music that is a pretty bold choice. The same goes for the Waits. Kudos.
