Well, I just finished listening to Modest Mouse’s Discography, and next on my list is Streetlight Manifesto’s Everything Goes Numb.
That is in my car and is my current driving music.
I just listened to Holst’s “The Planets,” as well as his first and second suites.
Today on the drive: The College Dropout by Kanye West, the consensus best album of 2004. Classic.
Recent plays:
The Love Below by OutKast (well, Andre 3000; call it how you want). This, along with Speakerboxxx, would qualify as the consensus best album of 2003.
**Music from the Motion Picture *Juno ***- a find of my girlfriend.
Back to Black by Amy Winehouse - a find of my brother.
The Mouse and the Mask by DANGERDOOM - Danger Mouse has been a favorite of mine for some time. MF DOOM (and his various other aliases) is enjoyable in the right context; put them together with some Adult Swim cameos, and the result is pretty epic.
Back in Black - AC/DC
Had to have something to keep me awake today. At least working from home there is no one else around to complain about the volume (or the selection). Usually I just turn on XM so I don’t have to listen to a bunch of commercials and idiots talking.
Just finished listening to yet another kick-butt (Canadian) rock album:
Theory Of A DeadMan - Scars & Souvenirs

Obviously, some may be offended by some of their more “aggressive” lyrics, but even with that, it was a good CD with some slow songs a well as some hardcore rock songs to get you fired up!
Through The Looking Glass by False Start (kiwi band from my suburb)

Right now I’m currently listening to the album “In Sorte Diaboli” by Dimmu Borgir.
Today at work, I was able to get about halfway through Metallica’s S&M album, done live with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. One of my favorites, I must say.
Also recently played was Jay-Z’s The Blueprint and Kingdom Come. Blueprint is a classic, with some of the best delivery and production of his career (see also: Takeover, Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love), Hola Hovito, Izzo (H.O.V.A.), Renegade, Never Change…just about every song on the album, to be honest). Kingdom Come is a little more mixed, but there are still some solid tracks to be had (Oh My God, Kingdom Come, Lost Ones, Show Me What You Got, 30 Something, Hollywood).
I listened to those for a class for points, and I really liked them. They were definitely something I enjoyed. I’ve also listeend to SOAD’s Mezmeize album, and Metallica’s new Death Magnetic CD. It was decent.
Metallica ; Magnetic Death (brand new FINALLY !)
Metallica ; Reload
Metallica ; Load

Thousand Foot Krutch: The Flame in All of Us
Nice. I have a ton of Metallica CD’s. My favorite songs are the Unforgiven II, One, Enter Sandman, and I like The Unforgiven III, off of their newest CD. I also just listened toThe Best of Led Zepplin…just can’t get enough.
Hybrid Theory && Meteora - Linkin Park <3
This afternoon, I had an extended commute home*. It gave me just about enough time to partake in Sermon From Bethlehem by Rev. Billy C. Wirtz. Wirtz’s particular flavor of piano blues leans toward various mixtures of spirituality, risqué humor, Southern living and professional wrestling. (Can you tell he was born about an hour from here in Aiken, SC?) The result is entirely inappropriate to play around impressionable youth straight through, but definitely my favorite of his works.
*My fellow South Carolinians, please learn how to drive in the rain already. Love, Billfred
I just saw Death Cab for Cutie at Radio City on Monday night (PIT SEATS!!!), and so I’ve been listening to Narrow Stairs and Plans a lot. Great band, but you have to like their kind of music.
Listened to Black Ice by ACDC last night. It was a pretty good album. Ill have to listen to it a few more times to really know if I like it alot.
I occasionally listen to Carlos Jean, I enjoy my Cat Stevens, Crosby/Stills/Nash/Young, Cherish the Ladies, Gershwin, Elton John, Lou bega, Royksopp, Metallica, Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Oh, and I LOVE theme songs… I have the star wars theme (all movements, a disco version, and an a capella version), the halo themes/songs, Fifth Element, Pirates of the Carribbean (fans of all three themes but only the first and third movies), The Last Starfighter, Indiana Jones (especially the beginning of the theme to temple of doom), James Bond themes, and I LOVE the credit music to The Mummy Returns.
And, I have a confession to make. Occasionally I just find myself playing with the freq. generator my laptop making standing waves in a cup of water sitting in front of my subwoofer… :rolleyes:

Today’s commute: the cast recording from Monty Python’s Spamalot. If you are mature enough for Monty Python and the Holy Grail, you’re covered; if your parents have sheltered you from the latter, avoid the former.
That said, I’ve seen it twice (once on Broadway from standing room, once with the traveling production which wasn’t as well-done, but at least I could sit down), and I’d recommend it.
Actually not listening to any recorded music…
my neighbors the Gove Street Back Yard Band are having a jam session…
they pretty good… southern rock, hard country, kinda Montgomery Gentry playing with the Charlie Daniels Band.
Some of the boys from Hard Ride playing too so theres some Metal Country…
thats right… Metal Country, just something you have to hear to believe.
Think Metallica doing covers of Johnny Cash. :eek:

While working in the campus machine shop earlier today (milling parts for a RBE2001 group project), In Silico by Pendulum, Fix Your Face by TRVS & DJ AM, and then Here We Stand by The Fratellis were the albums of the day.
Right now, I’m listening to Any Time Now by O.A.R.
