What are you listening to now?

Sorry about the mis understanding, but I tend to read this site with a cocktail or three. I have learned -from your tales of drunken sailors -that your are the man.
Frank Zappa is a bit over most people's head- especially mine. I just keep looking up.
Bak to the subject matter---Classical Music

Por Natha man, I also partake whilst sitting at the keyboard. Hell, the Vodka's damn near finished as I peck away!

I write and respond (and drink) to emails just to "Keep The Angels Away", you know?

da capo by Love. Was saddened last summer when I learned that Arthur Lee had passed away. Second psychedelic pioneer to go that season. First was Syd Barrett. Boom bip bip, boom bip bip, yeah!
 
Black ghost blues - by Lightning Hopkins.
soon to be reached on the playlist are Johnny Cash, Keren Ann and Itamar Zeigler.

every second spent not listening to them is a second wasted.
 
Bill Callaghan's (formerly smog) new album, which I'm not too sure about at the mo, though 'Diamond Dancer' is a groovy little number.

Also an excellent collabaration between Nina Nastasia and Jim White.

Oh and I'm also listening to me learning to play the ukulele :D
 
Listening to a song by Del Amitri from circa 1990 called Nothing Ever Happens

Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
Janitors padlock the gates
For security guards to patrol
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
While the married ones turn on a chat show

And theyll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Gentlemen time please, you know we cant serve anymore
Now the traffic lights change to stop, when theres nothing to go
And by five oclock everythings dead
And every third car is a cab
And ignorant people sleep in their beds
Like the doped white mice in the college lab

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before

And well all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Telephone exchanges click while theres nobody there
The martians could land in the carpark and no one would care
Close-circuit cameras in department stores shoot the same video every day
And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed
Just survive constant action replay

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before

And well all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
While angry from manchester writes to complain about
All the repeats on t.v.
And computer terminals report some gains
On the values of copper and tin
While american businessmen snap up van goghs
For the price of a hospital wing

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
Theyll burn down the synagogues at six oclock
And well all go along like before

And well all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
 
No idea what happened to them, they weren't a hugely successful band. Not a huge fan of all their stuff but a couple of their songs were good

Been reading Greil Marcus' book on Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone. So I listened to Highway 61 Revisited. Now have a collection from Mojo magazine playing, "the roots of Bob Dylan". The Country Gentlemen doing House of the Rising Son, Hank Williams doing Lost Highway. Stuff like that.

Having found the blogosphere I've now downloaded, "unpacked" and am listening to a live recording of The Replacements, Inconcerated ep. Answering Machine on now. I'm so out of touch I didn't even know it existed until ten minutes ago. And I occasionally visit the Men Without Ties site.

old and in the way
Listening to a bootleg of Led Zeppelin at the Whiskey-a-Go-Go recorded Jan 5, 1969... 7 days before their first LP came out. The set includes Train Kept A-Rollin', For Your Love (a Yardbirds standard), Killin' Floor (a pre-plagiarized-proto-version The Lemon Song) and a song I've never heard of before titled As Long As I Have You.

Sound quality is pretty good for a bootleg, but the performance (even though it's a little rough at times) really brings home what a great fucking live band they were in their early days.

I'm listening to Miles Davis now. I discovered his music a long time ago and i can say that he was a truly genius. Amazing music.
