What are you listening to right now?

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

It's this
http://www.ris.net/~tony/stones/alt3.htm , a fab boot collection of b-sides, one disc in a 5 disc collection. You're right about Johnny Cash, btw.

I've been listening to a lot of Baroque music, particularly peices by J.S. Bach. I have an exam on Monday in a course entitled 'The Age of Bach and Handel' and need to know a lot of information about these peices inside out. Great music, but memorizing all sorts of details about them is a bit tedious.

Snakebite

Post by Uncomplicated »

I am currently entranced in the new album released last week by former Wall of Voodoo lead singer Stan Ridgway, called Snakebite: blacktop ballads & fugitive songs

I think all you guys would love this! Check it out.

I don't really know a lot of his stuff, but I've always liked what I've heard, and I picked this album up on the cheap somewhere - Ride On

Any recommendations?

I just got the Eels' BLINKING LIGHTS, and it's a rare love-it-from-the-first-play record. Nobody who likes Wilco or The Replacements (for instance) should miss this.

It's also a beautiful package, and I can't help but think that royalties from that song on the SHREK soundtrack have given them some nice artistic flexibility in lots of ways.

Arcade Fire is the other thing haunting me most right now. Also a gorgeous package, come to think. SUCH a beautiful record.

I've just downloaded some songs off of iTunes from Susan Tedeschi's new "Live From Austin" album. "Don't Think Twice" and "It Hurt So Bad" are my favorites at the moment. She's got an awesome voice!

Agree completely smm. I listened to the entire album this afternoon, while driving back home from New Haven. I've read a few reviews where crtitics have been bitching about the instrumental interludes, but I don't have a problem with them. Quite the contrary - they're like little breaks between servings of a great seven-course meal.

This album's been growing on me more each day. If you're interested in seeing e live smm, he's playing the Somerville Theater (just up the road from my aunt's house) at the end of June. I'll be attending the NY Town Hall show.

Thanks for the tip! Especially cause the Somerville Theater tends to be off my radar-- a lot of apparently important folk stuff goes on there, but I kinda hate folk, so there you go. Though I did see Aimee Mann there a year or two back, and Billy Bragg once even more years back. It's a lovely venue that I guess I have a prejudice against because it's a magnet for events that draw hard-core lefty types who (it might surprise some board members to learn) tend to turn my stomach somewhat.

The new White Stripes album. Not bad so far, probably another good one.

Want Two. Nearly all the songs are growers, and there are so many interesting aspects to his songwriting. I'm in love with Rufus.

There's a track from sis Martha's debut on the current Word of Mouth CD sampler called Factory. Fantastic stuff too. Critics have been pretty much drooling here, seems like with good reason. Anyone know it? How much talent is there in that family?

I think so too-- immediately affecting, and so well done.

Matador at Fifteen

a 2 disc and one dvd compilation of matadors's greatests hits and rarities between 1999 and 2004. It ranges from interpol to mission of burma, cat power and guided by voices. as well as some stephen Malkmus and the jicks and belle and sebastian. I think its indie heaven.

right right now its Yo la Tengo with Don't have to be so sad.

Er, a bit of a departure...

Saxophonist Charles Lloyd's two most recent ECM albums, both excellent. One - "Which Way Is East" - is a collaboration with the legendary jazz drummer/percussionist Billy Higgins - it was Higgins last recording before he passed away from liver failure.
