So, what we all listening to?
I like these posts cos I get to discover lots of weird and wonderful things everyone's listening to.
At the moment I'm listening to;
Faithless - Forever Genesis - Selling England by the Pound Simon and Garfunkel - The Concert in Central Square Prodigy - Music for the jilted generation U2 - The Unforgettable Fire Blondie - Greatest Hits Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - So Far. Pink Floyd - The Final Cut Ozric Tentacles - Pyramidion
Today: Pulp: Pulp Hits
Normally I just put the iPod on random, but after a few months of not listening to 'em, I've been drifting towards the Macc Lads again.
Beatles - Revolver Beach Boys - Holland that new Hard Fi album The Cardigans - Super Extra Gravity David Bowie - Reality
Haven't listened to many whole albums recently, but stuff that's been coming through my speakers, either from CD or MP3 on the PC, has been:
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (recorded live at Live8, amongst the rest of their set) Julian Lennon - Salt Water Coldplay - Fix You Supertramp - Another Man's Woman Beats International - Dub Be Good to Me James Blunt - You're Beautiful (I'm one of the few that hasn't got tired of this, I think) The Boo Radleys - C'mon Kids The Longpigs - All Hype The Beatles - A Day in the Life Athlete - You Got the Style Ben Folds Five - Missing The War / Evaporated (last two tracks off 'Whatever
-- Tell me your birthday!
At the moment mostly the new Prodigy album, which is great. And also the clubbers guide to trance, mixed by ATB which I found whilst having a clear up at the weekend. Both really make me want to get a decent stereo in the car, which is currently an old tape player with standard speakers :(
Other than that its mostly been Scott Mills and Chris Moyles on the radio.
Blink 182 live (about 50 tracks), Nickelback - All the right reasons Offspring - Greatest hits A general comilation of the above including GreenDay, 3 Doors Down, Nine Days, Sum 41.
I bet most of you wont have heard of these (well apart from the RHCP of course):
Red Hot Chili Peppers - a compilation of all their melodic stuff Spyro Gyra - compilations from various albums MVP - Centrifugal Funk (always in the car.. an awesome collection of prog-jazz guitar solos) Frank Zappa - a compilation of various tracks
Bought Parallel Lines by Blondie last week and it's been on constantly since. Still not had my fill, it's top. Just loads of good songs and I reckon is the Best album I've heard in the last five years, even though it is from 1978.
Can we add a hatred list too? Or is that a bit cheeky? (I read A.A. Gill's column in the Sunday Times and have embraced my seething hatred even more now)
Anyway:
The Magic Numbers.
They suck s*it.
Three out of the four for me. Now curious about the third one - being a bit of a Jazz fan myself.
Scott AND Chris? have you gone mad?!?!?!!?!?!?
kiss (on the radio) bbc london (on the telly) compo cd in the van when i can't get them
Funniest guys on the radio!! (IMHO)
In news:blt9f.53429$ snipped-for-privacy@fe2.news.blueyonder.co.uk, Chris B decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as follows
Ooooh, I thought I was the only person who liked the Cardigans. Good album SEG innit?
Scott is possibly acceptable that other fat bloke is probably the greatest "look at me, I'm fat AND unfunny, just like jo brand" gimp on the planet
I quite like Chris Moyles.
Anyone on here like the Real McKenzies?
