The infamous "what are you listening to" thread!

Did you see Loeki?

It's been a few years, they didn't have the Loeki exhibition yet. I should go again, one of these days.

Ah yes.. music:



Tom Waits - Alice

I've stopped liking Loeki... they put him in every section.

Am now listening to some vinyl from Rick van der Linden (from Ekseption).

Todd Rundgren - A Wizard, A True Star

This is a neat proggy pop album.

Todd looks like he needs a bill...

I've grabbed a Die Anarchistische Abendunterhaltung tape, their self-titled album.

I think he was doing tons of mind-altering chemicals when this album was recorded, certainly sounds that way... Cool record, though.

I'm forced to listen to 3FM (National Dutch pop radio) right now.

I'm not really paying attention to the DJs talking, but I don't think Claudia's very funny at all.

Kaiser Chiefs' "I Predict a riot" is the Megahit this week, Not a bad song, but that means I'm gonna hear it several times a day until Friday. Kill Ugly Radio

Having finally escaped commercial radio hell, I'm now gonna play some skronking cozmik jazz shit at earsplitting volumes



Steve Reid - Rhythmatism

This thread is doing wonders for my post count, eh?

On todays menu so far -



JUDAS PRIEST - Unleashed In The East

and

Judas Priest.. Victim of Changes ..

...on random too.....Breaks the flow of the album up, but is fun nonetheless.....

CHARLES MINGUS - Oh Yeah




...( except my copy has a different cover? )

Raymond Scott - Reckless Nights and Turkish Twilights

I like cartoon music :biggrin:

Yeah, I have both volumes of the Carl Stalling Project.. lots of fun.

NP:



Grachan Moncur III - New Africa, avant-jazz on the French BYG Actuel label. There's some great music on this label, but unfortunately, they are also notorious for ripping of all the musicians who recorded for them.

Disc One, on random.....

still like the early Gong....and Pierre Moerlin's Gong, too

Did you know Pierre died recently?

My brother's a Hawkwind nut, but most of it bogs me up the wall backwards

I don't mind 'Astounding Sounds' and a bit of 'Hawklords', but most of their stuff is jammy rubbish

I wouldn't put Gong in the same class, though
Some of their stuff is a bit more structured...with some half-decent solos and a bit of humour

Listening to;

Grant Green - Solid.

Actually, I'm transcribing some of his solos on this record. He's one of the easier jazz guitarists to copy and steal licks from.

Quark, Strangeness And Charm has its moments too, but I wouldnt actively seek out a copy...

Cannonball Adderley - Fiddler on the Roof

I really don't like musicals at all, but this album is great.

VIO-LENCE - Eternal Nightmare

....An absolutely classic Thrash album. Just bee re-released with an extra disc of live stuff.....AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!

From radical Jewish culture to neo fascist post industrial in the sapce of two albums....pretty fucking good going....


Bar Kokhba Sextet : 50th Birthday Celebration Volume Eleven




Bar Kokhba brings together six core members of the Masada family in a dynamic and versatile ensemble of strings and percussion. All the players were at their best on these nights. At times lush and lyrical, at times driving and powerful, but always filled with the intoxicating joy of music making, this long awaited release is a real treasure. Featuring one set from each of their three nights, the band begins relaxed and laid back and slowly builds to an intense unstoppable powerhouse. This is a rare chance to hear how the band grows over the course of an engagement—a special 3CD package containing some of Zorn's most beautiful and exhilarating music. Sephardic exotica for young moderns.

...followed by....

Von Thronstahl - Bellum, Sacrum Bellum

:drool:

Disc Two.....

It's fun yeah, really dig Lejo who displays some of his amazing puppetry in the Dutch Sesame Street:


found at http://www.lejo.nu

An absolute classic....

I'm listening to some free mp3s on http://www.cryptogramophone.com .

Tons of interesting stuff on this label, better get my credit card handy. My music collecting habits are gonna send me to the poor house, one day..

DARK FUKKIN ANGEL!!!!

DARKNESS DESCENDS!!!

I'm tuned in to Ipswitch Community Radio already. I don't know what they're playing right now, sounds like something by the Cinematic Orchestra I think. Pretty cool anyway.

That's really too bad, mate. Stuff like your radio program deserves wider exposure, me thinks. Would be cool if you still could get the archiving thing, though...

Friends of mine had a hiphop program on a local station nearby, but they got booted off for cursing on the air too much.. heheh.

I thought your show would start already, forgot you guys in the UK are one hour behind our local time. Well, I don't mind listening to Pink Floyd either.
