Tunes of the Day...What are You Listening to?

What sort of music you guys into?

What do you listen to when roaming IM?

Right now I'm listening to Richie Havens 'Alarm Clock'. Brilliant.

I love anything from Tom Waits to Mos Def, Curtis Mayfield to Tim Buckley, anything with a bit of SOUL!

Carnatic --- South Indian Classical.

I guess that's one of my main reasons for being there.

Widespread Panic....BNL.....RHCP.......Fi nley Quaye.....Rory Gallagher.....Alabama 3..... Soul Asylum....Morcheeba.....Leftfi eld....Death in Vegas.....Jaluka.....Manu Chao.....Fleetwood Mac.....My Friend the Chocolate Cake....Tom Petty....NIN.....Pixies....Cou nting Crows.... Am i getting carried away here?!

OK, I admit it! An occasional burst of the Grateful Dead goes down nicely!

I probably have The Incredible String Band to thank for my first hearing of Indian Instruments many, many years ago. Anyone else remember them?

Nick - a closet deadhead? you've redeemed yrself..... (from what? I dunno, but you've redeemed yrself nonetheless!)

Herby - salute yr choice!

somebody else knows "the incredible string band" If i dug down deep in some boxes i'm sure i have all there albums(vinyl)
favorite line "Hallo i must be going,well i only came to say ,i hear my mother calling and i must be on my way" very apt I thought!!!

Wanderin_Kat, You'll never get far!

...I'll tell you the reason, you oughta know,
There isn't really very far to go...


you didn't recognise my signature?[Listen; I'm playing it for you!] is from Goin' Down The Road Feelin Bad
--- Last track on the Grateful Dead double album.
So lets go where the water tastes like wine, shall we?
'Cos I Don't wanna be treated this a way

Freenote, Good! I thought there would be others around here

I smile and say my little ship is sinking
But I Kinda like the sea that I'm on
And I don't care if I do drown

I love belle and sebastian and Nick Drake. theres nothing like a sweet melody is there.

Quite a selection!!
Myself I like, Alabama 3, Afrocelt Sound System, George Thoroughgood,Oasis, Zeppelin, Dylan, Keane, Rock, Salt And Nails, Cast, Dreadzone, etc.etc.etc.

Here's a wee tip for all you music lovers (maybe you all know this already but bear with me. For music downloads try Bearshare peer to peer, a great resource for sharing music. The downside on the free version is it comes bundled with a lot of spyware.
I tend to install it, download a shit load of music then uninstall and run something like Adaware to spring clean my system!! Don't run adaware before as the Bearshare program won't work properly without the bundled spyware!!
Happy hunting!!!
By the way this is a great resource for video and other types of media and software, I recently got a few audio books off the site, brilliant!

Nope, there certianly isn't.

I'm a big Nick Drake fan as well, such a shame he was so unappreciated in his time, it's amazing how many people are starting to discover his music.

Right now I'm listening to 'Mule Variations' by Tom Waits, like most of his stuff it's a tough listen, but a rewarding one.

Today on rotation, so far:

Black Star Liner - Bengali Bantam Youth Experience - CD
Scratch & The Upsetters - Super Ape - CD

Super Mama Djombo - Julia (track)

John Martyn - Inside Out - CD

Peace

Sly & Robbie - Unmetered Taxi - CD

Spirit - The 12 Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus - CD

Banco De Gaia - Freeform Flutes & Fading Tibetans (cassette Woof Tapes 1992)

Joi - One & One is One - CD

Franco & Et' Le TP OK Jazz- Azda/Laissez Passez & Attention Na Sida (tracks)

Peace
