What are you listening to right now?

My latest methodology for listening to music at work is to pick four albums randomly (using random.org), play all the tracks that got to a certain chart position (again using random.org) and all the charting songs from a particulary time (e.g. summer of 1967, or autumn 2003) again chosenly randomly. I add em to a playlist and hit shuffle list a few times.

So today I'm listening to Dude Ranch by Blink 182, Moon Safari by Air, Best Country Album in the World ....Ever - VA, and Aerial Boundaries by Michael Hedges, great number 40s and charters from the Summer of 1989

right now this is playing

I am listening now Return to Innocence by Enigma.

Still or again, Jim?

I love music. Right now, I am listening to Neil Young - After the gold rush.

Still or again, Jim?

It's a long tune.

Of course, I'd forgotten about the extended 10,000 inch version!

They don't make three chord bashes the way they used to....

Classic rock courtesy of WMP shuffle



Entwhistle's bass much clearer than the studio version - new round wound strings?

ehBeth - don't know if you've ever seen this "Ukelele Shaft", but it's always good for a good laugh for me...

Right now I'm listening to the pre-release of the new Lady Gaga c.d. on FB. I'm quite enjoying it. I'd never listened to anything of hers other than what I occasionally caught as I changed stations. I didn't realize the quality of her voice without all the synthing. I'd like to hear her take on some American songbook classics. She's got a dang good voice.

about Lady G...I agree

A blast from the past - a personal fave from the early days of doublejay. The song before Pop Musik

Thought it was Suffragette City at first...cool tune.

Gosh I love Burt Bacharach's melodic style. These singers aren't well known but they really nail the tunes. And the live recording is just fantastic.

Europe '72' third disk


Rap

It amazes me how many melodies from my childhood were bacharach, before I even knew who the Beatles were. Walk On By is a classic, but reel them off, Say A Little Prayer, Close To You, Never fall in love again, Look of love, What's new pussycat, This guys in love with you.

Simple but instantly memorable, I wonder how he did it so consistently?

Love Phil Lesh's bass playing.

How on earth did Iggy Pop find a 30 year old Australian track from our first 'king of pop', Johnny O'Keefe?
