OT - What are you listening to at the moment?
« Reply #15 on: February 02, 2007, 02:55:38 PM »
Depends on the precise moment the question is asked; currently it's Blondie's Heart of Glass, segue-ing into Tony Rice & David Grisman, then the Tubes, the Cardigans, the Beatles, Taj Mahal

My current Mondo Playlist contains more than 650 selections, ranging from Classical to Bluegrass, Rock, Country, Acapella, and many artsts who are difficult to classify in a single genre.

It's about a day and a half's worth of music, set to shuffle and continuously loop. Lots of Beatles, Police, James Taylor, Shawn Colvin, Sheryl Crow, Who, Weird Al, Warren Zevon, Ry Cooder, Dixie Chicks, Don Henley, Diana Krall, Elvis Costello, Dave Brubeck, Chuck Berry, Delbert McClinton, Frank Zappa, James McMurtry, Jimi Hendrix, Bette Midler, Bela Fleck, Prokofiev, Mussorgsky, etc., et.al.

Might not be your cup of tea, but if you have Freeview, the BBC is running a loop of a Norah Jones concert on channel 301 - the "red button" channel - from a Radio 2 show she did recently. Nice gentle late-night listen!


Thanks for the heads up...I've Audio Hijacked this concert & used Amadeus to lift out the selections.  Even though I just bought her new album (is that what we still call them?) through iTunes on Tuesday.

New Grass Revival? [now split up, but John Cowan and Sam Bush have some great tunes out]

Nickel Creek?

Rob Ickes?

Tony Rice?

[my 'little' brother is quite the Bluegrass Maven, and periodically hosts a Bluegrass radio show on KAOS, which is available streamed on the 'net]

Thanks, I'll check them out. smile.gif

A brilliant album by a VERY underrated artist. He is continually being name checked by other musicians over here.  A very tragic story.  In case you were not aware, the John Martyn track Solid Air was written about Nick Drake.

JJ Cale live just to see if I really like it. So far so good. All I really knew about him was that he wrote 'After Midnight' which Clapton covered.

Watched a BBC4 documentary last week called To Tulsa and Back which included clips from the Crossroads Guitar Festival with an obviously nervous Clapton joining Cale on stage for After Midnight and saying afterwards he (Clapton) had 'been playing it all wrong for years'.  oops.gif

Cale's  manager said Cale had once gone eight years between live engagements - "from a manager's point of view he's a nightmare, but he's such a lovely guy".

Thanks for the critique sandyman, I do so so much enjoy it that it has been on my server for months now, Oh, by the way, those changing eyes (i's) are Canadian as well. wink.gif

Higmac, I have some old Cale on a broken cassette tape that I've thought of repairing many times but never got around to it.



Right now I'm listening to willium Eaton the tracks we leave very soothing. wink.gif

For those who like him

YouTube#1,

YouTube#3

His songs almost make me weep.  Knowing the story makes it even sadder.

sandbox,

thanks for "making" me listen to Nick again. It's been at least 6 months since I gave a "serious" listen to him.

You might like to try a bit of Richard Thompson as well

Your not the old. wink.gif

A good friend was very tight with Stevie Nicks and we could get back stage passes when she was doing solos. Her Phoenix shows were the best!!

At this very moment, I'm listening to Barbra Streisand singing Memories (Cats).  Great voice.

I happen to be in the middle of copying old CDs into iTunes on their way to my iPod.  Today I've listened to to Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra (8 CDs), Helen Reddy, Anne Murray, The Judds, Tom Jones and Whitney Houston.  Oh yes, and the Carpenters!  These old ones require manual typing since they are so old they are not in iTunes Store for auto transfer of song title, performer, album title et al.

Yesterday I copied and listened to some newer CDs by George Strait, Jimmy Buffett, Celine Dion, Billy Joel and others.

Hey, when you're 69 y/o and it's freezing outside, what else is there to do?    eusa_dance.gif

Great enjoyment listening to good music for a change.    whistling.gif

Timely thread for me. smile.gif

Yes Dave, Streisand has a beautiful voice! As does Whitney Houston, well all you've mentioned actually, it's usually the Genre that keeps them from being played as frequently as they used to be. I have some of those oldies as well, which I've been copying off albums or cassettes for sometime now. It's wonderful to play them now and again, it does bring you back, revisiting faded memories. wink.gif
