I'm listening to this. I've always liked old Madonna stuff to some degree, but only by means of this great compilation did I discover just how much potential is in her songs. It's really great and I encourage you to listen to some of the samples offered there.

[milanius]

Rage Against The Machine - People Of The Sun & Bulls On Parade - on the tape... yea, they're Comrades, but they're allright

I am listening to the tape recorder because there is a strange device here, on top of my monitor, using the third and final power outlet... yes, it doesen't seem to work for the time being, but oh boy, when it starts working... CELEBRATION !!!

Since my friends and Family members have all said that I have a strange taste in music. I am now listening to the Fast and the furious Tokyo Drift Soundtrack. Can't say it isn't bad, always up to broadening my horizons O.o

On the other hand I am also listening to DJ Tiesto In Search for the Sunrise (vol. 4 and 5)

I watched a program on PBS recently (yeah, weird, I know) but it was actually good! It was Eric Clapton jamming out for about an hour. He was playing some bluesy stuff. So, naturally, I'm listening to some Clapton.

Layla - a classic.

Oiiiii......holy muffin! Clapton is by far one of my favourites....jeez he´s been around for quite some time.....I used to listen to him when I was at University.....you know those parties where you get terribly drunk and just soo sentimental

I do remember having been running around outside in the snow, without shoes...then came in and just fell into a couch.....oh and they played Layla!

Mmmm I do have a couple of old records with Clapton....vinyl of course! One of my former boyfriends was called Clapton out of two reasons...he resembled him and....was a pretty good guitar-player!

Ohhh gotta go find those records now....

[Dantrag]

Well Layla ended, and my playlist has continued.

As I predicted, Queensryche's new album Operation: Mindcrime II did grow on me.

I'm now listening to Fear City Slide. It's actually a pretty sad song, as the protagonist of the story is comtemplating suicide. And in true Queensryche fashion, they don't tell you if he ever does or not.

[Ibis]

Aha! That's where I got the name for my new Oblivion character. She is a Nord and I named her Layla but couldn't remember at the time where exactly that was coming from. Now I remember from Danny's post. I also have a Danish wildflower perfume named Laila, but that is different spelling.

I am listening to Italian opera music right now because it is the background to a Reading Rainbow show about making your own pasta ... they are rolling tortilinis. Making me hungry too.

[dagoth carlos]

im listening to my favorite indie rock band "Coheed & Cambria"
Im listening to that jazzy/acoustic version of "A Favor House Atlantic" ......
i just love their music.... almost as much as i love Queen....

(haha... lamar james? that guy rocked my world when i was a kid... even in startrek.....)

[Dantrag]

(haha... lamar james? that guy rocked my world when i was a kid... even in startrek.....)

It's LaVar Burton.

Listening to Devil's Slide by Joe Satriani.

This guy is a guitarist and a half. He plays with a lot of electronic beats and stuff, but surprisingly, I like it.

[Tellie]

I listern to Nigthwish Ghosts Love Score, it's a song that last for a whole 10.02 minutes. I think I must have heard it so many times, and still I get goosebumps fromlistening to it, it's just soooo good and brilliant...but the funny thing is that it was first made as a testing song, to check out how it would be when the opera like voice of Tarja overshadows the instrumentals...it went betetr than they could have even imagined....Nigthwish, I will love you forever

[Fuzzy Knight]

lol Tellie

Well - over here it's nothing special. Listning to a lot of different songs actually but mostly we're talking about Van Halen, U2 and Smashing Pumpkins. Some good stuff, at least I think so but now, at the moment it's U2 - Electrical Storm and Van Halen - Dreams.

[Ibis]

Oh good stuff there, Fuzzy ... U2 and Van Halen. All their Sammy stuff rocks.

Yeh Lamar Burton was so cool as Jordy in Star Trek. I guess it's like an inside joke that he was blind in Star Trek but now he's the host of a reading show - Reading Rainbow. They often have cool books and stories on though, we like to see what he's up to.

I don't think he does Reading Rainbow anymore; I'm fairly certain that they're just reruns. Unless somehow the show hads survived for thirteen years. (I used to watch it all the time)

Right now I'ms listening to A Change of Seasons by Dream Theater. In my opinion, this is Dream Theater's best composition to date. It starts slow and acoustic-sounding, gets harder, slows down again, etc. There are so many changes in the song to keep you interested throughout its twenty-three minutes. (Not to mention Petrucci's guitar solos )

[The Metal Mallet]

Dream Theatre are pretty good. They're definately fine muscians, but I generally fine their overly long "solos" between the guitarist and the keyboardist a little annoying after the first time. Like the first time it's interesting to hear, but after that, I feel like I just wanna get back to the song part. There are some exceptions for that though, I like the Octavarium album because the songs are little shorter so the solos don't become overly long so they have to do a lot of cool things quickly in the solos. Also, Scenes from a Memory works well with the long solos, they just stayed interesting for me, that's probably why it's my favourite album by them.

I love the solos. Probably because I'm a guitarist and I just sit in awe.

I agree with you about Scenes From a Memory though. Excellent album.

[The Wolf]

I'm listening Gnarls Barkley: Crazy, from his webpage. Haven't bothered to buy the album, don't know if I like his other songs.

But most of all, I love Crazy's music video.

'Maybe I'm crazy...'

[stargelman]

Toumani Diabate with Ballake Sissoko - New Ancient Strings - pretty good kora music. What kora music is? A kora is an instrument that looks like...well... like this:
It's an instrument originally from Mali (that's an african country) and surprisingly it sounds a lot like a guitar, only it has a lot more strings - 21 of them.

As far as African music goes, my favorite is still Baaba Maal, but this stuff is pretty good too. I also have this compilation called 'A Rough Guide to African Music'. It's a good introduction to what is new and hot in various parts of Africa today. Some of it sounds like western rock music, other stuff is a mix of various western styles with local styles, and yet other stuff seems pretty traditional. At any rate, it's very good.

[Dantrag]

I'm listening to Queensryche's 'The Chase' from Operation: Mindcrime II.

I find it enjoyable because Ronnie James Dio (formerly of Black Sabbath) and Geoff Tate (Queensryche) perform a great duet, singing different parts at the same time. Dio playing Dr. X and Tate playing Nikki just before Nikki kills Dr. X.

(Which is odd, because I think Dio plays Nikki in the regular voice acting)

I think I may be a mindcrime junkie.

You think you're smart, inventive
Because you've figured out my game?
Pride is a handy substitute,
When you've got only yourself to blame.
All my dreams I've realized while you... were indisposed.
While you've spent eighteen years watching TV,
I've watched my fortune grow.

Here I am-I'm finally on the outside and
You're nowhere near where I've been!
I've got you where I want you... at last.
You've got no idea who I am!
We circle around each other waiting for reaction
We circle around each other waiting for reaction
Wanting satisfaction for the past.
I want nothing... from the past.

Always been so easy you're like a puppet on my string,
Throwing down hollow threats, unsure of what to think.
Why should I care?
You wouldn't dare!
You're nothing but worthless... I swear.

From where I stand I've got you where I want you.
You'll never take me! Never take me down!
I've seen all I need to put you in the ground
Revenge is normal, a typical reaction
I've seen your cynical reaction...
If you're standing outside of in.
Always on the outside of in.

Here we are at last facing oblivion...
And this is where finally it ends.
You don't belong here.
Holding fast to each of our sins.
With hope by my side, I'll survive to see the dawn.
Believe me or not... you owe me.
I owe you nothing!
I gave your life a purpose!
I owe you nothing but your death!
Without me you wouldn't have learned a thing!

[The Metal Mallet]

Recently I have been obsessed with listening to Rammstein's Mutter album, it's just so catchy. It's easily the best Rammstein album I have right now, while I thought both Reise Reise and Rosenrot were great, they definately can't compare to the stuff that's on Mutter.

It's just the blending of orchestral music, with hints of techno beats, all backed by heavy metal riffs. It just makes it so catchy, almost dancable with some songs. Freuer Frei! just makes me wanna get up and move.

Today I also purchased 4 CDs. The new Billy Talent CD, an Isis CD (on a whim, I've heard a little bit about them, but not much, all I know is that they're mainly instrumental base, little vocals), Nevermore's This Godless Endeavor (because it was on sale and I was interested in them earlier), and Hurt's Vol. 1.

I'm really excited over the Hurt CD because I didn't think I would find it in Canada and I would have to order it. I gave it a spin on the ride home and I already think I'm going to be hooked on it.

To tell ya the truth, I'm gonna go listen to it right now.

Rock on!

The Flaming Lips - The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song
This is somewhat strange... in a good & optimistic way, and it sounds nice... wacky, yet nice and, oh, I dunno, HAPPY ?!
*Mil goes away to ponder rather obvious political/moral message from that song*
