So what are you playing on your iPod a lot these days?

[ATL Muskie]

The off season is upon us. Obviously.

On heavy rotation these days:

The Black Crowes' new record "Warpaint" (Love it)
Springsteen's "The River"
"Freewheelin' Bob Dylan"
Otis Redding

[Xman95]

Sadly, I don't own an iPod. Just haven't had the need to get one yet, I guess. However, on the old fashioned cd player in my Jeep, I have been listening to AC/DC Live (the 2-disc version) lately. I guess I was just in the mood for some of those songs that just get you jacked up - Hells Bells, Thunderstruck, TNT, Highway to Hell, Back in Black, etc. Now that I think about it, I may have purchased that when I was at X! I'll have to check the year on it.

By the way, ATL, enjoy the rep points!

Right back at ya. I have two AC/DC discs in the car player right now- Highway to Hell and Razor's Edge. Good stuff. My wife hates it, saying, "All the songs sound the same." To which I reply, "Hell yeah they do, and they all kick much ass."

[Xman95]

My wife hates it, saying, "All the songs sound the same." To which I reply, "Hell yeah they do, and they all kick much ass."

Funny, my wife was complaining about the musical choice the other day too. I simply said, "Quit your b----ing and shut the f--- up"...on the inside. On the outside it came out as, "Ok, we can change it, but can I just listen to a song or two first?" Things have become so much easier now that I understand my role as a servant, um, husband.

[spongebob]

No ipod, but these CD's have been playing recently in my car:

Tom Petty-Greatest Hits
U2-How to dismantle an Atomic Bomb/All that you cant leave behind/Best of 1980-1990
Skynyrd-Street Survivor
Aerosmith-Greatest Hits
Hootie and the Blowfish-Fairweather Johnson

Skynyrd-Street Survivor
Aerosmith-Greatest Hits
Hootie and the Blowfish-Fairweather Johnson

I'm on board with anything from U2 and I'm man enough to admit that I enjoy a little Hootie, as well. The other selections are quality too, but must take a backseat to U2/Hootie.

[spongebob]

Agree. For some reason, I usually get in the Hootie mood when down south. Was in TN last week.

[Muskie]

Can someone explain the fascination with U2? They just don't do it for me...

I just got done listening to Bulls on Parade.

[Smails]

Cake's Fasion Nugget is getting a lot of play right now
Steely Dan's Aja, Zepplin 3, and Van Halen 1 as well...

I've been on Steely Dan for a good 2 years now

[Xman95]

Cake's Fasion Nugget

I love what she does to that Italian leather sofa!!!!

[Xman95]

Can someone explain the fascination with U2? They just don't do it for me...

I just got done listening to Bulls on Parade.

First, U2 is ridiculously good. Good music, good lyrics, lots o' variety. Seriously, listen to their early stuff, some middle stuff, now...they have had so many phases and have been successful in all. The pop/techno U2 almost went too far, but they caught themselves and got in touch with their roots again. Hopefully that grows another 20 years of great sh!t to listen to!!!!!!!!! (FYI - you're not alone...I know quite a few people that hate U2. For the life of me I don't understand why or how, but they do.)

Bulls on Parade...kick arse music. The majority of Rage is pretty good and can rattle your bones.

For a similar, yet Celtic, effect, I love listening to Flogging Molly. (And I'm a greezy EYE-talian!!)

[XU05and07]

Things I have been loading on the iPod the past month or so:

The Fray
Tom Petty (getting ready for the concert this summer)
Andrew Bird
Dropkick Murphys/Flogging Molly/Gaelic Storm (Long live St. Paddy's Day)
Foo Fighters (new CD is pretty good)
Pearl Jam
Muse
Linkin Park

Joins music already on the iPod:
Dave Matthews Band
Guster
Outkast
Jack Johnson
Johnny Cash
Led Zeppelin
Nickel Creek
Nirvana
Oasis
311

Gotta love the iPod or anything similar...so much music, so many options

[Xman95]

Apparently we all listen to some kick ass music here!! As long as nobody lists that orange on a toothpick Celine Dion. That woman makes me want to rip my ears off and shove 'em in the remaining hole!

[Muskie]

Celine Dion....



No not really.

[Kahns Krazy]

I picked up the Eddie Vedder soundtrack from Into the Wild, and I really enjoy it. I just, ahem, acquired REM's new release yesterday and haven't even synced it up yet. I'm looking forward to that. Hopefully it's a return to the pre-Green REM. It's gotten some pretty good reviews.

I need to get that new Black Crowes.

[xu95]

There is not a single AC/DC album that you can go wrong with. I have all of them on my Ipod. I currently just loaded the Flo Rida CD as well. I've got a little bit of everything on my IPOD that is what happens when you have 80GB to fill.

[DC Muskie]

My girlfriend has my ipod.

[XU05and07]

My girlfriend has my ipod.

shouldn't leave that in the trunk

Of course not. That's where the dead hookers go!

[XU05and07]

Of course not. That's where the dead hookers go!

he did say that his girlfriend had his ipod

[Xman95]

he did say that his girlfriend had his ipod

Well played. (I literally laughed out loud!)

So, I assume one of the things on his iPod is the soundtrack to "Death Becomes Her"...

[Smails]

I love what she does to that Italian leather sofa!!!!

Well played

[The Artist]

Lots of black crowes, lots of beastie boys, lots of talking heads, lots of tom petty, and other random things in between.

[Xman95]

Well played

Could it have been played any other way?

[Swifty]

Thrice
The Mars Volta
The Arctic Monkeys

And Hendrix, always lots of Hendrix

[pizza delivery]

Spoon "GaGaGaGa"
Ryan Adams "Easy Tiger"

back and forth, back and forth

[xuirish]

For those that are fans of David Gray/Jack Johnson, I recently found an Irish version of these two guys, his name is Paddy Casey. His new album dropped yesterday on Itunes, $7. can't go wrong.

New R.E.M is awesome, Rage, Van Halen, Motley Crue, Dropkick, Flogging Molly, AC/DC, David Gray, July for Kings,...seriously I could go on forever

[BiggieXU]

My "Current Mood" playlist on my iPod
Cold War Kids
the Juno Soundtrack

Springsteen
REO Speedwagon
Michael Jackson
Skid Row
Rush
Guns n Roses
Air Supply
Coheed and Cambria
Dropkick Murphys (really just one song of theirs, but I can't get enough of it!)

and more...

[xubball93]

There's nothing wussy about Rush - Subdivisions, I think, is their best song. Roll the Bones is a helluva album.

[Husketeer]

[wkrq59]

Don't own an iPod, but have lot of nice classical music playing on the computer right now. Very decent mix.
In the car CD's include early Mozart piano concertos, #6 is a favorite and if you listen to the third movement you'll understand why Notre Dame and I aren't on speaking terms.
Also got in that car-disc collection the five Mozart violin concertos, his piano trios, and the Stones 40 Licks concert, and Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and another whose name escapes me singing Lukenbock Texas,
Oh, and a Gershwin Piano Concerto in F, the Gershwin-Kaufman "Of thee I sing." love those lyrics--"She's the illegitimate daughter of the illegitimate son of the illegitimate nephew of Napoleon, (which means she's of royal birth." and a medley of Cole Porter stuff and more Stones.

Irish... I'd highly recommend Damien Rice... it's brooding and slower... but it's good stuff. He's great in concert live. Saw him here at the Murat. If he comes to Taft, it's worth the small ticket price to see him live... hell of a show.

[Raoul Duke]

All nice choices, Biggie, including the impressive Vampire Weekend debut.

My recent choices:
Bon Iver, Goldfrapp, Headlights, Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, Josh Ritter

Vampire Weekend - you guys beat me to it. Just downloaded the album and it's weird but good. Kind of reminds me of the Police.

[sylvester]

Definitely rep the Vampire Weekend album. They are awesome. I was down in Austin for the SXSW music conference a couple weeks ago and the line for there show easily one of the largest of the whole weekend. Give it a couple listens and you should be hooked.

[sylvester]

The new Raconteurs album is also real good.

[GuyFawkes38]

I also like the new Raconteurs album.

It's Jack White with much more freedom than when with the White Stripes. really interesting stuff.

[xuirish]

If you like those guys try ray lamontange.

If you like those guys try ray lamontange.

I've got some Ray LaMontagne also. Very good. Empty is a good one - not even sure how I came across it though I know he's played on 89.7.

[xuirish]

If you like those guys try ray lamontange.

definitely have 2 or more of his albums. Very good.

Paola "Above the Candy store" "Stockcity girl"
Klint "Diamond"
Dropkick Murphy's - anything
Chris Burke "Eating is fun"
and before every X game - 2pac "Hit em up"

I'm all over "Warpaint" , ATL. Can't get away from those Crowes.

Also, like I said on another thread. The Raconteurs new one is bitchin'. I'm a big Jack White fan.

Rick Astley?.....dude

[Fred Garvin]

Little off topic, but have any of you been watching VH1Classic's Classic Albums series? I have DVR'd the entire series. The best so far are The Band's The Band, Steeley Dan's Aja and Elton's Goodbye Yellowbrick Rd. I'm gonna watch Who's Next, well, next.

Also, the other night I caught Jonathan Demme's concert film Neil Young: Heart of Gold on Showtime. Pretty good.

There was a concert/doc on Leonard Cohen a couple of years ago. Anyone see it?

[Fred Garvin]

I'm a huge Wilco fan and have seen them several times. Prior to that I was obsessed with Uncle Tupelo. You Chicagoans have it pretty good for that genre. I believe Wilco is based there as well as my favorite label, Bloodshot Records. Love those Waco Brothers.

If you haven't seen it, I'm Trying to Break Your Heart is one of the great rockumentaries. It chronicles the making of the sublime Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

I've also been enjoying Clem Snide.

[ATL Muskie]

Only one I have seen is the Who's Next one, and I DVR'ed it. It's really good, and spends a good deal of time on each song. Some of the best scenes are when the engineer dissects each song, isolating Moon's drumming, Entwistle's bass, etc. Good stuff. Who's Next is in my top 5 of all time, if not #1 so I was really interested in that one.

[Smails]

I thought Aja was great, but I'm a Steely Dan freak. Went to Widespread Panic here on Wednesday night..good show

[Fred Garvin]

I picked up the Eddie Vedder soundtrack from Into the Wild, and I really enjoy it. I just, ahem, acquired REM's new release yesterday and haven't even synced it up yet. I'm looking forward to that. Hopefully it's a return to the pre-Green REM. It's gotten some pretty good reviews.

I need to get that new Black Crowes.

I've been thinking of getting Into the Wild on HD in Demand. I remember reading Krakauer's piece years ago in Outside magazine.

[Fred Garvin]

That Krauss and Plant album is fantastic. I didn't think the combination of such different musical backgrounds could complement each other so well.


I love it. They play it all the time on WNKU.

[Kahns Krazy]

I've been thinking of getting Into the Wild on HD in Demand. I remember reading Krakauer's piece years ago in Outside magazine.


My only advice is to be prepared to get into the movie. There are times where it moves a little slowly because it has to. I really enjoyed it, but I'm pretty sure there would be some days where I would not have. Hirsch really looks like the kid. The pictures at the end are startling. Penn's commitment to the authentic story is unlike anything I have ever seen in a movie.

[Muskie]

Bump... of course I use a Zune not an ipod.

[wkrq59]

Jerry Reed's best--downloaded it the day after he died... And the music from Best Little Whorehouse...Oh, and a lil bit of Mozart piano and Beethoven same instrument--on my computer of course.:D:D:D

[Stonebreaker]

Slowly adding a select few country tunes. Sure sign of age.

[Raoul Duke]

Slowly adding a select few country tunes. Sure sign of age.

You need to look into alt-country. It's like country except not crappy. As others have mentioned, Wilco is a good start.

[Raoul Duke]

I have been listening to some Rise Against, old AFI, and loads of Widespread Panic. I will also put in another thumbs up for the Into the Wild soundtrack.

[Masterofreality]

I've gone back retro and re-playing a lot of Pink Floyd- Especially the Animals
album.

On new stuff, some Dead Weather-especially Are Friends Electric- but the album has some holes in it.

[AdamtheFlyer]

I've been music-ed out of late, so I've been playing a lot of stand up comedy. Gaffigan's new album is really good (Bacon!). John Caparulo is hilarious. Josh Sneed (friend of Mo Egger) is pretty funny. Ron White has a new album out that's pretty good. The latest (and last) Mitch Hedberg album recroded only a few weeks before he died is outstanding.

Mostly Vengaboys, Cascada, and Baha Men. A little Lou Bega now and again.

Do you entitle this the "The St. X mixer 2000 mix?"

[MuskieCinci]

Haha, no. I went to McNick actually. It is on the Summer Jams playlist along with Big Willie Style and some others. I checked out some Slaughterhouse actually and they aren't too bad. I'll have to listen to them some more.

I don't know if you caught this Juice but Slaughterhouse's song "The One" is a free download right now on iTunes if you're interested in checking them out.

[surfxu]

The Cult..Fire Woman, She Sells Sanctuary, The Rain... etc plus a half dozen more. Great stuff from the late 80's to early 90's. A new band (to me) Hollywood Undead. They are somewhere between Eminem and Limp Bizcut. I would call it rock/rap.

[chico]

[sylvester]

Them Crooked Vultures self-titled studio album leaked this morning. It sounds quite good so far. The band is made up of Dave Grohl (drums), John Paul Jones (bass), Josh Homme (vocals, guitar) and Alain Johannes (guitar). I would recommend checking them out if you are a fan of any of these guys respective bands (Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age, Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters, Probot, Eagles of Death Metal, Eleven, Kyuss).



Sufjan Stevens - The BQE (Brooklyn-Queens Expressway)

Very intricate project by Sufjan. More of an arrangement than an album. If you liked any of his past work, check it out.



The Flaming Lips - Embryonic

This band is a trip. Crazy music, crazy live show. I am going to see them, Phoenix and Pete Yorn in December...super pumped for that show.



Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

Stellar 4th album by the group. Listen to "Lisztomania" and "1901" and you will get the general sound of the group.

[BBC 08]

Phrazes for the Young by Julian Casablancas

If the Strokes were an 80s new wave band then they would sound like what Julian did with Phrazes. Great album and makes me wish the Strokes 4th album was coming out sooner.

I saw The Features, The Whigs and The Dead Trees at a concert last week and have been listening to them 3 on the reg. All 3 are great up and coming bands. Each of them have their own sound with The Whigs sounding like Kings of Leon should (the irony of that statement is that all 4 from KoL were at the show and are big fans of both The Whigs and The Features), The Features are more of a southern Spoon and The Dead Trees are a fuller sounding Ben Kweller.

[Pluto]

The Avett Brothers - new album out produced by Rick Rubin
Wilco - just saw them in concert again a couple of weeks ago
Pixies - get to see them again in 2 weeks...always a good show

[pizza delivery]

Don't like ipods, but I've been listening to:

I bought their album "Feels" which after 3 listens really grabbed me. Highly recommended.

Wooden Wand is another band I've found recently. I think their done now, but pretty awesome folk:

A couple of new cd's. A group that opened up for Taking Back Sunday at the Cintas called "F.U.N." Interesting group, very ecclectic style. And lets just say that their name is no false advertisement. Honestly, I think that a lot of folks would just enjoy it. Their single is "At Least I'm Not As Sad As I Used To Be". Another one I like is called "Be Calm". Their cd is titled Aim and Ignite.

The big mainstay on my iPod right now is Say Anything's new cd that just came out. Got a chance to meet the group and they are freaking cool fellas. Laid back, polite, and just interested to meet all their fans. Their last album was a disappointment in that it was quite a change of pace as to their first major release, titled "...Is a Real Boy". This new one is self-titled. It's upbeat, kind of punk/rock/alternative with probably some of the better lyrics out there.

Hopefully some of you have a chance to check out these groups. I know some of you liked Muse, and I still feel that's a solid solid album. Sportscenter has been playing their single during their Ultimate Highlites.
