What Are You Listening To Right Now?

[Dreamscape]

Yeah, I'm bringing it back from the dead. I'm organizing my Downloads folder after a long time of just downloading. I don't need folders for each band, but I like to keep it somewhat organized.

A Static Lullaby - Let Go...a cover of Frou Frou's song from Garden State. It has its moments, but it's a little too screamo.

"Take Me Home" by After Midnight Project, though, is a goodie.

30 Seconds to Mars - Kings and Queens

Every now and then, 30 Seconds to Mars puts out a good song. To a lesser extent, they are like Pearl Jam or Incubus. The albums are not very good, but there is a song or two that are keepers.

[The Rap]

Well Jared Leto may be the best looking guy around so the albums will probably sell.

[The Rap]

Listening to Dion and the Belmonts greatest stuff and it is amazing that it still sounds fantastic.

[sdp]

Lady Gaga has been dominating my workouts as of late.

Is that good or bad? lol

[The Rap]

Whatever rocks your boat so to speak. John Lennon once said "A great fcking song is a great fcking song."

[Hobbes]

John Lennon once said "A great fcking song is a great fcking song."
I still fail to see the connection to Lady Gaga. :headscratch:

sdp, you have Dream Theater in your signature. How in the world do you go from a great band like Dream Theater to Lady Gaga? I'd say something is definitely wrong.

[The Rap]

The connection is right there if you would bother to really think about it. Johnn simply said that it isn't the genre that is important but how good a song is.

[Hobbes]

It was a joke Rap.

[sdp]

lol

I tend to not like pop music generally, but it is great workout fuel. When I'm running on a treadmill, Dream Theater and my metal flavors just don't do it for me.

At any rate, Lady Gaga knows how to create catchy tunes.

[Lauren T.]

Paparazzi (http://lala.com/zYK)'s not bad. She was the second opening act for New Kids on the Block in Fall 08 -- my friend and I didn't know what to think about her songs or her pantslessness, but we did like her hair bow made of hair.

[bravos4evr]

Oddly enough lauren the pantslessness part I understand! :-)

[The Rap]

It was a joke Rap.

I just wonder when you guys will realize this is the internet and therefore very difficult to recognize when someone is joking.

[Lauren T.]

We need a font for sarcasm.

Great show. Great moment. And a need, apparently.

[The Rap]

:rolleyes:

[The Rap]

I have heard so much about how incredible Lil Wayne was that I finally relented and bought his first Carter album and I agree because it is really great. Now I realize that was mixing him up with Lil Jon who I really get turned off to with his mouth full of metal.

[Lauren T.]

I don't know...I don't think this (http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/2008/11/01-07/lil_wayne_pink_bape_camo093007041156.gif) is all that much more attractive than The King of Crunk.

What?

[The Rap]

When my daughter was in high school she said to me that I was the only dad of all her friends that was into Guns and Roses. My response to her was to ask her what I alwys taught her. She reponded and said that one shoulkd appreciate the music and separate it from the lifestyle and habits of the artist because it is the music that is important. Thus, I give a rat's ass what Lil Wayne looks like with all the tattoos all over his body because it is his body and that is his choice. I do wonder how he going to feel about them when he turns 60 or even before.

Chris, what didn't you understand? I finally listened to Lil Wayne and think he is special and before that I was confusing him with another guy who has a similar style of dress and sings in the same music genre but turns me off because he has those huge braces which are there for cosmetic reasons and not for whatever they were designed for which I find very unbecoming.

Ookaaaaaay.

from the windoooooow to da walllllll! lmao

[Lauren T.]

So you're okay with permanent body modification, like being covered in tattoos, but you're not okay with removable mouth jewelry?

[Chris_Moderato]

Yeah!

[The Rap]

Well the guy with the mouth jewelry (as you call it) has about as many tattoos as Lil Wayne anyway. Plus it is a matter of personal taste and maybe age because I remember, when I was growing up, seeing many black people with metal in their mouth simply because they couldn't afford what is more affordable today.

[Lauren T.]

You do know that grillz aren't permanent fixtures, right? They pop in and out as easily as someone can put on and take off a ring.

[The Rap]

But do you realize it still takes a decision by the individual to put them in in the first place?

[Lauren T.]

:banghead:

[Dreamscape]

Soooo...I'm listening to the Fugitive on tv.

[Freddy_Ballgame]

Just watched and listened to VH1 shows about the making of the classic Pink Floyd album, "Dark Side of the Moon," followed by concert footage of same. Some stuff gets even more awesome when you know more about it. This is still an incredible musical expression!

[Andy G.]

I've watched those programs, Freddy. Classic Albums is a cool series. I've seen episodes covering Dark Side of the Moon, A Night at the Opera, Nevermind, The Doors, and a maybe a couple of others I'm not remembering right now.

As for what I'm listening to...

"Off the Record" - My Morning Jacket

[Lauren T.]

[The Rap]

Collective Soul "Home" their live CD with the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra.

"Notion" - Kings of Leon

[The Rap]

The Killers Live from Albert Hall.

[FrankEC]

Let Down - Radiohead

[Andy G.]

The Killers Live from Albert Hall.
Were you listening to the cd or watching the dvd? I saw this at it's theatrical premiere, and it was awesome, but since the surround sound cut in and out and the picture went out completely during the encore, I got my money back and a free poster for the event. I was thrilled after I saw it, even with the miscues, so getting a refund and a poster was just icing.

"Inaudible Melodies" - Jack Johnson

[The Rap]

They must have fixed it because I watched the DVD first and then incessantly listening to the CD. Awesome band IMO.

[Freddy_Ballgame]

"Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall..."

Just been watching/listening to Pink Floyd in concert doing Dark Side of the Moon. This stuff never gets old....

[HaRdCoReBrAvEsFaN]

Spacehog-In The Meantime

Going back a little in time; John Mellencamp and The Cars.

....I'm a little shocked. Not judging. I love the Roots, Birdman, a lil Lil Wayne etc. etc. I just had an ill conceived previous misconception is all.

[HaRdCoReBrAvEsFaN]

Linkin Park-Not Alone

[The Rap]

Great song and LP is one of the greatest bands ever IMO.

[Chris_Moderato]

Great song and LP is one of the greatest bands ever IMO.

You cannot be serious. Linkin Park? One of the greatest bands ever? Ever?!

[The Rap]

Why am I not serious? One gigantic hit album after another, a monumental live band and key figures like Chester beningfield (sp?) and Mike Ishoda who has put out some fantastic solo stuff as well.

[HaRdCoReBrAvEsFaN]

Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda

[The Rap]

Thx it must be the drugs I am taking now.

[Chris_Moderato]

Thx it must be the drugs I am taking now.

Yes, they are muddling your ability to spell, and clouding your judgment about music.

Hey-oooooooh!

[That was a joke. That was a joke. That was a joke.]

It's just a simple disagreement. You think Linkin Park is one of the best ever. I can't sit through one of their songs without wanting to shove chopsticks in my eyes, so people who see me will scream so loudly, I won't have to hear the Linkin Park music anymore.

[The Rap]

John Lennon once said "a great fckng song is a great fckng song." What he meant was that all music is fine and no one should make jugments on another's tastes as that is what gives that person all he needs.

[The Rap]

A few years ago I combined The Cars best stuff with Ric Ocasek's best on a single CD and man I hit the motherload! Great CD to listen to.

Been in a Beatles kick ever since I bought Rockband for them and now, I'm trying to get my girlfriend to like them through Across the Universe. So, because of that, I have been listening to that CD more and more...and for right now, "I've Just Seen a Face"...might be my favorite off that soundtrack.

I like them a lot. They're a really good band, and in my opinion a very influential one as well.

new CD from Gorillaz called "Plastic Beach." Fantastic.

[The Rap]

Been listening to the My Morning Jacket CDs I bought and they sound awesome. They look like they are related to the Kings of Leon :>) or are the children of The Band of Robbie Robertson and Levon Helm fame. Incredible musicianship.

He just sucked really hard Mike, that's alll..... just really really hard.

Well different strokes for different folks man. I liked Kenny a lot when he was teaming up with Jimmy Messina and some of Kenny's solo work was excellent although I didn't like some things.
