Music you're currently listening to?

[adapt]

i'm curious as to this, does not by any circumstance have to be related to recent thrifting tape/cd/record hauls, but really, what turns yr crank, so to speak?

[Aia]

I actually just got a killer steal on a ton of old time christmas music on CD

I have been listening to that lately, so I guess it is thrift related..lol

[foutchie]

Well, currently Amy Winehouse "back in black", Cyndi Lauper and Iggy Pop......also starting in on the Charlie Brown Christmas CD

[Good Buddy]

Before we went to Renninger's I was listening to:

Siouxsie and the Banshees - "Hong Kong garden"
The Style Council - "Shout to the Top"
Prong - "In My Veins"
Adam Ant - "Wonderful"
and The Sunday's - "Here's Where the Story Ends"

Listening to Sara Bareilles's CD in the car on the way home this morning. I'll be listening on the way back to work tonight too.

[Thrift Shop Romantic]

I was listening last week to a couple of Kate Bush CDs, a Def Leppard album and now a PG Wodehouse book-on-CD. I'm all over the place.

[SecondhandSophisticate]

A Lorena McKennett CD in the car (one of them is very Autumn/Halloweeny to me)
Plus an AM "oldies" station (baby boomer stuff just sounds better in AM ) Also, a  compilation CD a friend made me back in the 80s which includes Perry Como and the late Klaus Nomoi.

On the turntable:  A fab thrifted Mongo Santamaria album called "Stone Soul" which is just wonderful.

What I am looking at for the holidays:  Christmas jazz by Oscar Peterson; a trio whose name I can't remember (their holiday album came out in '67); Brubeck.

Ciao,
SeSo

Phish.  (I secretly have been hitting the Donna Summer pretty hard as of late, too)

Also, now that Christmas is creeping up, I like to dig out some rat pack Christmas tunes.

I have been listening jazz instrumentals with xylophone on the radio.

[Thrift Shop Romantic]

SeSo, I love Loreena McKennit this time of year! She's got some perfect Fall/Christmas music.

[Big Daddy Audio]

This seems like it should be right up my alley, but I've never been one to listen to music while working at the computer.  I listen to it just about any other time, though:

Bedroom turntable - Pat Metheny Watercolors
Office turntable - English Beat Special Beat Service
Family Room turntable - Steve Miller Band Book of Dreams

Minivan - Parliament Mothership Connection
Stratus - Zappa/Mothers Roxy & Elsewhere

My Christmas CD changer (yeah, I keep all my Christmas CDs in one changer - A Kenwood 100 disk changer - and then just install that in the family room at the correct time of the year) is installed, and I've been digging on George Winston's December and the Jethro Tull Christmas Album.  Sometimes I set it to random, so various artists and tunes pop up.  I just finished my speaker installation on the front of my garage, which I use to pipe out Christmas music.  That's connected to a 6-CD changer in the garage, and that one has Trans-Siberian Orchestra and some compilation disks in it.  I really haven't fired that one up in earnest  just yet.

One the DJ system in the garage (2 systems in the garage - there you go), I've just been rotating my party and rock CD compilations - getting the system tuned up for the New Years Eve block party.

I'm not going to run through all the stuff I've thrifted that have to deal with those systems, but suffice it to say, most (more than 85%) of my audio gear has been thrifted or purchased at a discount.  Most of the software (albums and cassettes) has been thrifted, while most of the CD's were purchased new or dubbed from public library copies onto CD-R Music disks (so that RIAA gets their fair share).

See you next time
bye for now

I pretty much have music constantly playing on my computer, and the mix is extremely all over the place. For instance, the next several songs are going to be:

Low - Coattails
Tom Waits - Looks Like I'm Up S*** Creek Again
John Vanderslice - Me and My 424
The High Water Marks - Good I Feel Bad
Jonathan Coulton - Skullcrusher Mountain
Gorillaz - Starshine

Throw in some Calexico, Woodie Guthrie, and Sigur Ros and that should give you a basic idea of the stuff I'm listening to these days.

LOVE that song...

good buddy... ever heard of The Ocean Blue?... i have a feeling you'll like them...highly suggested!
 
The album entitled "Cerulean" as well as their self titled album...

and The Sunday's - "Here's Where the Story Ends"

[eddieb]

Due to the fact that i spin "house music" when i dj, i have dance music coming out of my ears...

and so, currently in my cd player, i escape with Diana Krall's "Love Scenes" - love this amazing album...

i like all kinds of music.. i can't even get into it right now, i wouldn't know where to begin...

but I LOVE this topic... maybe i'll go into a little more depth during my afternoon break...

Just picked up a new CD at lunch -- I'll pay retail for a disc if the songs that I want on it break down to costing less than .99 cents each.

It's a compilation of 30 of Elvis' No. 1 hits.  Love his music -- mostly because I worship Scotty Moore, his guitar player.  Don't know how many folks realize, E could not really play the guitar worth d**n -- he posed great with it, though.

Thriftily,
Alexandra
