What are you listening to now?

....yeah -- i agree, people are basically getting sick of the same old rock/hip-hop/r&b bullsh*t..... and there is just this big upsurge from a new style coming out of Europe -- best place i've found it so far is a compilation series called 'euro club hits' on itunes.

:cool: :p :D :)

I'm going to see Leonard Cohen tonight, so I'm listening to A LOT of him.

I'm very excited, he was one of my early heroes, and this is the first time he's been to town in about 40 years. needless to say, being 39, I missed him the first time. although I saw Johnny Cash in concert when I was 10.

whatever, I'm very psyched, having a few drinks now. not too many, just enough.

cool hooch!! I'd love to see leonard too. I've been listening to him since the late sixty's. I think that I liked his earlier stuff better than his present work, but that might have just been the LSD that i indulged in in those days.:rolleyes: still great tho and he really has passed the test of time, but have you ever heard anyone else's voice that has changed as much as his? probably too late to lay off the cig's now. enjoy! and let us know how it was...

Nothing in particular has caught my attention lately. But I have been making it a habit to fall asleep with the FM radio tuned to our local classical music station. Last night I dreamed of a bumblebee swirling around me, and I could not shake him, no matter what. I woke up kinda freaked out, and realized the "bumblebee" was this menacing tuba solo from god-knows-what symphonic piece playing at the time. Aint the subconscious cool ?

Appreciate your friends
Yes and I think you should eat some honey.
I too like to listen to the classical music. Bukowski listened enough to know the names of the composers and the symphonies. It is good to listen to classical music. It will get the bees out of your bonnet and the bats out of your belfry. ;)
I listen to Mozart and Bach.

Yeah - I keep telling myself someday I'm going to listen to all of Beethoven's symphonies in order, and then Mozart's, also in order. Now is a good time to take this on - I'm bored to death with every other genre right now.

I'm working my way through Mahler,
Gustav Mahler - Symphonies Nos. 1-10,
and Andy Griffith for comic relief when slimedog hasn't posted

The band Cathedral. I'm listening to their album Caravan Beyond Redemption and in particular the song satanikus robotikus a really groovy tune. I saw them live in Brisbane and they rocked!

In Australia "groovy" means "rad," but interpreted with a backhanded, ironic post-pomo semi-serious gravity. That language is really hard to figure out.

Gravity?

In America "gravity" translates out to "weight",
meaning "force" or "seriousness".

So, "semi-serious gravity" has a respectable
connotation about it. Just add irony.

I still don't know what the fuck pomo means, but I
think that I'm not one.

Hope that helps.

The Doors - 'Morrison Hotel' while eating french bread (dipped in Cholula hot sauce) and sipping a Dos Equis XX (green bottle).


Love that track 'Peace Frog'.

Father Luke you always help. Glad we got gravity clarified. Groovy means grooves, deep grooves. Cathedral they help me deal with mickey mouse, and a few others like him in disguise.

Hello Chicagoburgers. Haven't had a chance to say that to ya yet and apparently I missed your New Blood thread, if you made one. Gotta tell ya this, anyone that uses Cholula is a fine cat in my book. That's the tastiest sauce in existence. AND the fact that you were listening to Morrison Hotel while consuming something with Cholula on it is ever cooler.

buzzcat. you got it! i was hoping someone would be in the know about cholula. i have it on just about everything...eggs, hotdogs, pizza...you name it.
i see you're from wisconsin. i try to get up there as much as i can. i live in Northern Illinois and do a Northwoods camping trip every year up in Boulder Junction, WI. damn fine land up there. cheeseheads are always good in my book. Go Bears!! haha.

Yes, I bow my head for those who are not in the know about Cholula. Come ON people, get with the program of good taste.

I have a couple friends that live up north. Great place to visit but I hear there ain't jobs for shit up there.

As for the cheeseheads thing, I don't connect with that being it's a sports reference. Not a sports guy at all. I'm more the cheesegut. The closest cheese gets to me head is it's trip through my mouth on it's way to my stomach. I LOVE CHEESE! It'll be the death of me.

Although I never watch football, I would watch the Bears if I did. Go Bears!

Let's see, what the shit's the subject of this thread? Um, ah, What are you listening to?
I can say last night on the show we spun Alice's Restaurant. New Steve Winwood, Boz Scaggs, The Tubes & Fat Mattress. That's some good listenin'.
