What are we all listenning to?

[tjwmason]

I've got a newly downloaded St. Matthew Passion (J.S. Bach) playing, with which I am jolly happy.

The whole lot (over 2 hours solid music) for $9.99 (as I'm paying in sterling I vote for the weak dollar to continue); as one used to buying C.D.s this is a distinct improvement.

[RPM]

1. Pink Floyd - The Wall n/t

[tekriter]

2. Also Floyd!! dark side o'da moon...

Great minds think alike...

[djeseru]

3. Nine Inch Nails ~ The Downward Spiral

It's a crappy day over here, need the appropriate attitude music...

[tjwmason]

6. We had a glimpse of spring yesterday

Gorgeous sunny day rising to 68 degrees, but have slipped back to cold and grotty; I know what you mean.

[djeseru]

11. It's my own personal little black cloud.

I came out here to DU to cheer up...and I'm always so glad I did. It must have been a great Saturday for you there! Had the first hail/thunderstorm of the season out thisaway...

[tjwmason]

14. I love thunderstorms

I have a tendancy to throw every window wide open, and put on some loud booming music to go with the thunder. In summer if it's also warm standing in the thunderstorm can be great too.

4. Hubby playing the 'Alfred Hitchcock' theme on the piano.

[tjwmason]

8. You're so lucky to have a musical husband

I never play the piano unless the house is otherwise empty of people, and close all of the windows even in summer.

Nobody sane would want to hear me play :scared:

[bridgit]

37. 'funeral march' as my boyfriend's piano recital piece...

when he was a boy as well...

but more contemporaneously i'm listening to nothing but tv news in that my sound card is blown

:cry:

new card coming tomorrow

:bounce:

[Technowitch]

5. Mark Dwane, "Water Age" from "The Monuments of Mars."

I love New Age music. :)

[Catch22Dem]

7. Alan Parsons Project

And the Dave Brubeck Quartet

[tjwmason]

10. I've heard some of Dave Brubeck

But I fear my jazz knowledge is tiny and my listening restricted to occasional forays into Jazz Record Requests or similar programme on B.B.C. Radio3.

[Catch22Dem]

15. Mine's very limited too. I know what sounds good to me

And that's enough. :D

[NurseLefty]

9. Gang of Four - A Brief History of the Twentieth Century

At Home He's a Tourist - so timeless. So is A Hole in the Wallet.
I Love a Man in a Uniform reminds me of my youth. Very relevant to the Iraq War.

[JohnKleeb]

12. iTunes and I have Neil Young's expecting to fly on now

[Lady Effingbroke]

13. The Police

[hfojvt]

16. playlist #6

currently on ELO - 4 little diamonds

[Maestro]

17. Here is my latest iTunes shuffle

[freethought]

27. I salute you!

You have Dokken on your list. Most people don't want to admit they like the 90's era metal. I have the same tune in my library.

[Maestro]

28. I was all in to the arena rock and hair metal

There was certainly some cheesy stuff but there was some good music as well. Dokken was one.

[MrScorpio]

18. I'm listening to this:

[FuzzySlippers]

19. Yo Yo Ma

Plays Ennio Morricone.

Where did you download the St. Matthew's Passion?

[tjwmason]

20. eClassical

http://www.eclassical.com/

Which seems to be one of the few sources for Classical MP3s; to make it even worse I don't tend to fit in with the mainstream classical market either so downloading is not very frequent. Surely somebody wants to stick the complete organ works of Charles Tournemire up there...

****Edit

The St. Matthew Passion is on a special seasonal offer, as this is the time of year when it would have been played.

[FuzzySlippers]

21. I've had trouble with them.

Tried to download the Elgar Cello Concerto and couldn't get it to work.

[tjwmason]

22. I've got a few things from them without problems

I got the Brandenburgs, and a number of smaller pieces. I've downloaded as Zips and as individual items; all without incident.

[SnowGoose]

23. Sonny Landreth

Live album. If you like a modern electric blues played with a little cajun spice, you'd probably like S.L. Used to play with Clifton Chenier. Here's a little exerpt from a fan page

"His haunting slide technique is quite different from anything I’d ever heard before; sometimes he is able to coax sounds from his guitars that sound like other instruments. Sonny uses a style that combines finger picking, palming and slapping the strings and what looks to me like he’s trying to “excite the strings” like you would with a bow on a violin. His slide technique is quite unique in that he also frets behind the slide, giving him a different sound and "feel" than most slide players"


Here's his official site:

[Tektonik]

24. New Order, like always

[Maestro]

29. New Order is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I even interviewed Peter Hook with a friend for a article my buddy was writing back in the early 90's.

[freethought]

25. Old Al Stewart tunes.

I am in pretty mellow mood. Don't want any hard stuff now.

[RevolutionaryActs]

26. Chet Baker.

Seems to by my music of choice these last couple days. :)

[Hardrada]

30. Giovanni Gabrieli

Canzona

[tjwmason]

33. Now that IS gorgeous

The whole of the Venetian school of the late 16th and early 17th centuries is a treasure trove of wonders.

[WindRavenX]

31. The Meditative Chopin

I need it after going into GD:grr:

[mvd]

32. Janis Joplin today.

Her oldie but still goodie Greatest Hits CD.

[LincolnMcGrath]

34. M.I.A.

[ghostsofgiants]

35. Tiger Army - "III: Ghost Tigers Rise"

Psychobilly (rockabilly punk) at its finest.

[CubsFan1982]

36. Beethoven's Third Symphony

I never get tired of listening to Beethoven. :D

[uhhuh]

38. The Chameleons

Strange times.

These are strange times.

[bling bling]

39. Barrett. Waving my arms in the air.

Trying to figure out which take I like best, the one with just the accoustic guitar or the take with the other musicians dubbed in.

[terrya]

40. k.d. lang's "hymns of the 49th parallel"

Her new cd. She does cover versions of songs by Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Cockburn, Jane Siberry, Neil Young...and a tune of her own. A very nice cd. Highly recommended.

[Spacemom]

41. A local Austin Artist

http://www.amaragrace.com

The album is called "Soul of Humanity"

[tjwmason]

42. I think that it's good to have a local musician

The music can be so much more rooted in its community - says he who listens pretty much exclusively to classical music, thus from right across Europe.
