What ELSE are you listening to now?

you have one? so awesome.

i plan on spending a few months in India over the summer volunteering. i would love to buy one there (for cheap!)

dude that’s beautiful!

…and is that a 335 i spy? awww, a man after my own heart.

(i play a washburn hb 35…not exactly the real deal but a great knock-off)

^I play that disc exclusively between sets (when the bar or party doesn’t already have break music, that is). Perfect break music.

Me, I’m in the office and it’s quiet. Listening to the ‘new’ studio tracks on KISS Killers in the car.

Perhaps my favorite “Eyes!”

Not a fan of Redman so much, but this piano player is the real deal…Mehldau.

Have you heard Redman’s Momentum?

Yeah, Momentum with the Elastic Band is great. To be honest, with that particular record (Moodswings), I really only listen to it for Mehldau’s playing. I can’t think of a better jazz pianist that has come out of the works in the past twenty years. He’s the real deal. As a matter of fact, I was just listening to him in the car.

Things Behind the Sun
Intro ->
Someone to Watch Over Me

From This Moment On
Monk’s Dream
Paranoid Android
How Long Has This Been Going On
River Man

Always loved the early BeeGees

^Haven’t heard that solo album, looks sweet. The only solo Mehldau I have is Elegiac Cycle.

He really is one of the best on the scene…though Aaron Parks is a close second for me.

Cool stuff thumb.

PM me your address, and I’ll send you a copy.

No kidding

that would make my day

Human Feel; Galore

Anyone care about the new Metallica? I bought the vinyl, and I’m enjoying it fine, except that the mastering (or maybe the mixing, depending on who you listen to) process caused all this digital clipping, and the thing’s compressed to the hills within an inch of its life.

Anyway, it’s all distorted in places, and although I was gonna hook up stereo to computer > record .wav files > convert to mp3, I’ve learned that the Guitar Hero game version of the entire album is NOT compressed to near-death.

So if anyone can help me in my quest for the Guitar Hero version (preferably SHN or FLAC) I’d be much obliged. I’ve never done a torrent, but I suspect I’ll have to finally figure that out if I really want this.

Anyway, cool album - the old dudes did it.

Booka Shade.

Listened to some Rilo Kiley today as well… has been a while.

^wow! Look at you guys. I stop hanging out here for a couple of weeks and now you all are jamming the hipster stuff.

Good choices.

I have been rocking out to:

Frightened Rabbit
Oxford Collapse
DRAGONFORCE!
Crystal Castles
Good Clean Fun
Darkest Hour
and
Trey at Rothbury (which is excellent, btw)

The two new tunes on that Trey show have been making me smile and got me listening to phish again. It is very exciting to enter yet another stage of rejuvinated phish obsession.

I’ve been listening to lots of:

Replacements
Sound Tribe
The Band
Dylan
and getting back on steady diet of Phish as well.

saw these guys last night in Boston along with The Builders and the Butchers and Golem. holy shit - one of the best shows i’ve ever seen. I saw Walkmen in March and was absolutely floored by them live. they’ve been one of my favorites for years but live is unreal. the other two bands (openers) were also phenomenal. Golem spoke to me in particular though, as they are Ashkenazi Jews who sing in Yiddish about Eastern Europe (this is me). bought both their records on the spot.
