what are you listening to today?

[mrtr33]

With encouragement from this post, I'm gonna just start this, and see if it catches.

What's the coolest album you've heard recently? Could be anything, really. I guess I'm looking for this to be a place where we can talk about recent albums we've heard that we've liked or hated.

For me, it's been 2 albums in pretty much constant rotation in the last week: an album called The Audeience's Listening by Cut Chemist, and Cat Scratch Fever by Ted Nugent.

Usually, I listen to an album to death for about 2 weeks, then move on. Sometimes it stays on for quite some time beyond that, though.

This is either going to take off, or die unceremoniously.

lately I've been listening to a lot of Flogging Molly's Within a Mile of Home

[chefchris]

Right now, Ingrid Michaelson. Love the song "You and I".

Interpol, Foals

Foals

[heftysmokes]

Lucinda Williams, "Little Honey"

The Streets, "Everything Is Borrowed"

The Eagles of Death Metal, "Heart On"

All different, all really good.

That's crazy - I have LW's Little Honey in my truck CD player right now - it's pretty good. I think I liked Car Wheels better.

Also, Twillight Singers, a stitch in time with Mark Lanegan, Pearl Jam rear view mirror. Have Lanegan and Isobell Campbell CD on it's way from amazon.

The Streets, "Everything Is Borrowed"

I like The Streets. I don't know that I've heard this album of theirs/his before. I'll have to check again. Funny shit, if you can keep up with the British terms and euphemisms and understand what he's saying.

I looove minus the bear. They just played a free show here in Jacksonville. I didn't make it because I didn't know it was free.

Yeah, they are really good. A friend of mine recently turned me on to them. They fit my taste perfectly.

On right now: DeVotchka - Una Volta

You got their other cds? Menos el Oo? Highly Refined Pirates? Those are my fav.

Totally agree about Car Wheels, fantastic album. However, I'd rate Little Honey higher than last years "West."

I only have 2 albums so far. Planet of Ice and Highly Refined Pirates. I'll check out Menos el Oo.

I've met and hung out with a few guys from Modest Mouse a few years ago, during the Moon and Antarctica (which is also my favorite album of theirs) tour. I didn't even know who they were until I met them and they invited a friend and I to their show.
I've seen them live twice now, and I'd love to see them again now that Johnny Marr is playing with them.

That's awesome. I've never met them, but I have seen them live about 6 times, maybe more. Moon and Antarctica is a great album. I think I've had this cd sitting in my car's changer for the past year, at least.

[ppovar]

This month "most played" were

Led Zeppelin
Gipsy Kings
Memphis la blusera
Howlin' Wolf
John Lee Hooker
Bo Diddley
John Mayall
Bessie Smith

[slcraiders]

Say what you will, but this is some butter smooth groovin' stuff.

Modest Mouse recorded We were dead .... about 45 minutes from my house.
