Might as well go for what's important....

Music is lifeblood for me (read various rants on the site for more on that one). I've had t'be musicless & soundless for FOUR DAYS while my fucking cunt housemate did her 99 taxes (DON'T ask...). I'm making up for it now.

I'm on a huge Bj�rk kick--all her solo albums & her Sugarcubes days, especially now that I've seen "Dancer In The Dark" & can listen to the "Selmasongs" CD & understand it. Also been testplaying a 2-CD anime & J-pop sampler I made for the other housemate's sister. Throw in Bond music, Tanya Donelly, the Breeders, Belly, Paula Cole, the "Silent Mobius" CD I picked up...& always the everpresent "Cowboy Bebop," "Gladiator," Fantastic Plastic Machine, Vanessa Daou, Nina Gordon, & Dido..

My favorite band is, of course, the Moody Blues. Most people here don't know who they are(even though they were very popular).

Lately, however, I've been listening to a lot of Industrial/techno/ambient... and I'm enjoying it a lot. I like a few Rammstien, but mostly Individual Totem and Apoptygma Berzerk, relatively unheardof bands from Germany.

I own mostly musicals and movie/tv soundtracks. Current favorites include Ragtime, Les Miserables, Tarzan, Titanic (the musical), Notre Dame de Paris (French musical), The Scarlet Pimpernel, 1776, and Side Show. My roommate's totally into classical, which I also like. So I've been listening to more classical lately on the radio.

I haven't got much yet, just 6 or 7 of them, but it's growing.

I have tons of cd's I'm too lazy to go get too.

Right now, nothing. Earlier in the day, U2. I've been getting a few mp3s (none have been U2) to burn a new disc soon. And I listen to them. Which reminds me, I'm waiting for disc 1 of the Beautiful Day single from Canada, U2's new album, a used copy of Midnight Oil's best of disc, a copy of a bootleg of U2's PopMart Santiago concert, a copy of another U2 bootleg, this time of old demos and stuff, and I still need to pay for a copy of Creed's current disc. All just to add to my cd collection which stands at around 120 discs. And I still need to get a copy of Collective Soul's new cd. And of course, I do burn some discs for myself.

Yeah, I know. More than you needed to know.

Groundskeeper Willy: Aye. I also 'ate the mess he left on me rug. [Bart stares.] Ya heard me!

Posted by Vacuum robot lady from Spaceballs (Member # 239) on :

Ugh. Collective Soul. Ugh.

I got into them heavily after hearing 'She Said' on the radio, about 2 years back, I still like their Self-Titled and their First CD, but 'Dosage' & now 'Blender' are just dumb. Who do they think they are with all that faux-techno shit? I mean, if it was done properly, it'd kick ass, but it's all so...formulaic. Ugh.

I'm listening to a Dave Brubeck / Miles Davis / Diana Krall jazz mp3 fest at present.

Good stuff.

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

Interestingly enough, I've been going through all of my CD's recently, forcing myself to listen to some, uh, unfortunate selections I made long ago, along with albums I just haven't played in awhile. At the moment, I've just finished Weezer's debut album.

In the car sit State Songs by John Linnell, The Very Best of Elvis Costello and The Attractions, and the third volume of 69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields.

The MP3 player has been heavily into the Stephin Merritt as well, along with The Dismemberment Plan, Olivia Tremor Control, and the incomparible Shooby Taylor.

If this is gonna turn into a thread about how many CDs we have, then I have 123. I'm expecting 5 more. Double sets, though they may be in one case, I count as two discs. Triple sets are three discs and so on.

Well ladies and gents, I think I stand out as the proud owner of...

I'm not a burner. Well, I AM--I make mixes & pull hard-to-get songs from MP3s--but I like collecting the artwork in CDs. It's a funny thing that goes back to the vinyl days when I'd sit for hours on the floor poring through my parents' records & all the artwork in & on them.
