What am I listening to?

The Stone Roses, "I Want to be Adored."

Their self-titled debut album is awesome. The second one isn't bad either.

One of those bands that most people have never heard of. I had two of their CDS, lost them in a move and then picked up their greatest hits about a year ago. Great stuff. "I have a dream, I’ve seen the light Don’t put it out, say she’s alright, yeah,
she’s my sister."

Some things that have been in and out of my CD player the past week:

System of a Down - The screaming vocals and driving music mixed with some of the best pop hooks around make for something very cool. And tough to describe to anyone.

Springsteen: Devils and Dust

Foo Fighters - In Your Honor - this one hasn't caught on with me yet, but it will.

Coldplay: X & Y. Shouldn't like them but I do. Hopefully another generation's U2 - I don't mind being too old for great music.

I agree.

I've been listening to 30 Seconds to Mars a LOT lately (new album comes out Aug. 16!!), and I throw in the new Better than Ezra when I need a break from 30STM.

And for those folks in Clermont and Brown counties, Better than Ezra is the same band you know as "Gooder than Ezra."

Oh relax. I lived there myself.

Re: What am I listening to?

Bob Marley's "Natty Dread" is playing now, off the "Songs of Freedom" box set.

If you do not own the "Songs of Freedom" box set, go get it now. I'll wait here.


EDIT: And in a strange coincidence, as I was typing the above, another Stone Roses song cycled on. Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo.

Re: What am I listening to?

I've been listening to the new The National album, Alligator. It's pretty good.

You can hear it in it's entirety here:

http://www.beggars.com/features/thenational

Also if you feel in the mood for something really "out there", check out Antony and the Johnsons. Basically, Antony is a tranvestite caberet singer with a pretty good sized cult following. He even got Rufus Wainwright, Lou Reed, Devendra Banhart to help out on his new album. Here is an mp3:

14 tracks worth of Celtic/Punk/Folk rock.

Hells yeah.

And, like you said 'Second COming" is highly underrated. Wonder what this band woul dhave done had they stayed together. 'Course now John Squire and Ian brown hate each other, so fat chance of that. And mani's been working with primal Scream.

Ah well. They were good though.

Love 'em. And easy to play on the guitar! First time listen will turn most people off. You just have to "get it" with SOAD. All 3 CDs (the original ones) are kickin' stuff IMO.
