On the way into Madison I was listening to the Dead Kennedys' "Give Me Convenience, or Give Me Death". On the way back I was listening to a radio station (Charlie FM-- one which plays a more or less random assortment of former hit songs).

Right now, just whatever sounds happen to come through the window. (Living at my parents place, I don't want to have to try to explain my really wide and eclectic musical interest. )

I just got switched on to those guys. They really broke some ground before anybody got that kind of chill on. Remember Cocteau Twins?

I'd call the music I like most alternative pop, noise pop and alternative rock, but I listen to other things as well. I've been listening to pandora.com fairly often over the last year and have found a bunch of new groups that I love. I also have a bunch of older stuff I still love.

I don't have a lot of free funds for music, so a lot of my acquisitions are from trading cds on lala.com. I've been picking up releases by:

Agent Sparks
Citizens Here And Abroad
The High Violets
The Grates
Letters To Cleo
The Sounds
Giant Drag

Older stuff I still love listening to include the works of:

The Pixies and spin offs (The Breeders, Frank Black, The Martinis)
Liz Phair
k.d. lang
Devo
Suzanne Vega
Throwing Muses and post Muses work by Tanya Donnelly and Kristin Hersch

Delightful album called '13&God' , from the subliminal geniuses at Anticon, original experimental hip-hop with strings........

[DVD Burner]

Killer fucking music in this cafe on Mount Royal I'm at right now.


And they do this every night with free wireless access.

Go figure.

I can live in this place.

I'm waiting for a new genre to steal my heart. I call it Steam Trance.

i am so all about pandora.com right now. i have two stations, the one with music that goes along with the Cocteau Twins, and the one with Reggatone and all things Latin and Brazilian...it's the music genome project, and it's the best streaming no commercial thing i have found, ok, i didn't found it, paperboy did, but seriously, it makes work doable lately...

The Decemberists - 16 Military Wives

"Sixteen military wives
Thirty-two softly focused brightly colored eyes
Staring at the natural tan
of thirty-two gently clenching wrinkled little hands
Seventeen company men
Out of which only twelve will make it back again
Sergeant sends a letter to five
Military wives, whose tears drip down through ten little eyes

Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause America can, and America can't say no
And America does, if America says it's so
It's so!

And the anchorperson on TV goes...
La de da de da de da de da de da de da

Fifteen celebrity mimes
Leading their fifteen sordid wretched checkered lives
Will they find the solution in time
Using their fifteen pristine moderate liberal minds?"

I love Pandora! A friend showed it to me about a week ago and i've been listening to it non-stop. I've discovered so much new music b/c of it.

and Pax, i love disturbed...but shout isn't my favorite song, still good though.

Now that you mention it, it does seem to have a little bit of a Zappa feel in some places. I don't think there is a connection, but Some of Jim Morrisons poetry would have fit well into Zappa's music. However there is no telling what their producer was listening to at the time.

[barnz]

Berlin Philharmonic
Mahler Symphony No. 5

[mereth]

Rage Against the Machine's "Sleep Now In the Fire".
How's that for idiotic irony?

But I've secretly got Pater Gabriel's "Grieve" stuck in my head...
