OK...it's Tuesday...watcha listenin' to?

[Stone]

Pretty much these repeatedly:



Also, a bit of Kiki & Herb, some Cracker, The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower, and BSP.

Me -- Matt Elliott, Drinking Songs and Third Eye Foundation, OuMuPo, Vol. 1 -- a one-two knockout punch from my current favourite electronica artist. He really gets that "organic" sound -- makes it sound like one holistic recording. "The Maid We Messed" continues to blow my mind, in the same way that "Download" (by Skinny Puppy) impressed me on the first million listens. It just captures that pressure-cooker-about-to-blow energy.

Also went on a bit of a Rachel's rampage. Dang, they do get experimental, don't they? Except for maybe the first album (Handwriting -- at least, that's the first thing I have by them).

Also been listening to Android Lust, Lhasa, and Supersystem a lot.

Hey Stone -- thanks for bringing up Okkervil River, I've been trying to remember who did that cover (of the previous album). They do have some pretty cool album covers, don't they?

Jim -- Dang, I really need to get this package out to you. Sorry. Perhaps some Beborn Beton to lessen the sting? I also have a couple other things I think you'll like.

I'm listening to my favorite songs right now, and I can;'t believe it they're love songs. Why'd it have to go down like this I don't know. I've moved away from hardcore rap, metal, and techno...to...to...I can't belive I'm sayin this. Seriously anything slow...whitney, mariah, amy sky, corey hart, etc. Now I'm loving love songs all the time...it's wierd to be like this but those music are to me uncomparable in light and beauty...well the ones I like, not just any song off the radio....craig david has a couple good songs. Anyways the list goes on. Enjoy the...(slow) tunes!

How do you guys fit in so much listening, don't you sleep?

I have had 30 minutes of home stereo listening and a few hours of car stereo listening in the last week.

At home I listened to;

Teenage Fan Club - Four Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-Six Seconds: A Short Cut to Teenage Fanclub. I wasn't a huge fan but got this one just out of interest. They got a nice 60's feel to them and I've just realised i saw them a few years ago supporting The Beautiful South.

In the car I listened to;

Marillion - Script for a Jesters Tear and Fugazi. I played these 2 so much when I was younger that even now I know almost all of the words.

Moby - Play. There were so many adverts featuring tracks from this album that after about a year on release I couldn't avoid buying it any longer. I give it an occasional spin but it's actually quite depressing.

Relish - Wildflowers. I believe that this band is an Irish 3 piece who play very listenable guitar oriented rock with a poppy flavour. This is a good album and don't let the next fact put you off; One of the albums tracks (Rainbow Zephyr) was actually covered by the Irish boy band Westlife as Hey, Whatever.

The Tories - Upsideofdown. This is another guitar rock album with a very music (almost pop) flavour to it. I don't know anything about the group but this album is up there with Powderfingers Odyssey Number 5 as one of the best and most listenable of this style.

That's all I had time for I'm afraid.
