Occasionally. I was a music major. I don't make a habit of it though.

alright ill check him out. some others i like are Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Bill Evans, Monk, and Dave Brubeck. i have a Mingus record but i dont listen to him as much as the others. always trying to expand my collection though.

what instrument do you play?

Bump, but right now, Radiohead!!!!

Fuck yea!!!

I rule.

Sounds like you are a fan of the Kind of Blue, and probably Birth of the Cool albums. Check out Cannonball Adderley....he was also on the Kind of Blue session.

Oh...and I play trombone...hence the name. I'm more of a classical guy than a jazz guy....but living in a jazz/commercial music town....I have no other choice.

The Hold Steady- Almost Killed Me

(always great, because while I'm a typical "indie fan" I always laugh at "indie kids" who wear yellow leather armbands, even though I'm pretty much one of them)

The Hold Steady- Separation Sunday

(I'm feeling opinionated today)

Guided By Voices- Bee Thousand and/or Alien Lanes

Sigur Ros- Agaetis Byrjun

I love this album soooo so much.

ive been known to get down to olsen olsen

Album of the Day: Chicago - Transit Authority This is a great album and I don't care if you hate it or not.

This is not the same Chicago led by Peter Cetera that brought you sappy crap like "You're the Inspiration" . When the band first came out, they were very innovative with some excellent musicians (and Peter Cetera was in the band , but he wasn't a complete pansy yet). Terry Kath is a great guitar player (if you have ever heard "25 Or 6 To 4", that's him). Listen to the song "Free Form Guitar" and you can hear Kath, who can't even read music, wail on guitar. Robert Lamm was also a good lead singer and of course Chicago rocks the horns. If you have never given this album a chance due to Chicago's sins of the `80s, then you are missing out.

Metallica
Audioslave
Green day
Sabbath, for some nostalgia...never gets old

Slayer, when I'm pokering, keeps me in the zone!!

I got in 3 fights because people heard me humming "Watch out Now", made fun of me for being a J-Lo fan, and then I punched them in the face and called them stupid (or vice versa)

Beatnuts - great beats, terrible rapping. Still better than most rap on the radio/MTV though

Haha, so true. But they're fun, so I forgive them their shortcomings. Ja Rule is not fun, and is stupid, so he gets no love or forgiveness.

Right now I'm listening to LCD Soundsystem, and just finished listening to some random Deerhoof stuff

Daft punk is playing at my house, my house
I’ll show you the ropes, kid, show you the ropes
Got a bus and a trailer at my house, my house
I’ll show you the ropes kid, show you the ropes
I bought fifteen cases for my house, my house
All the furniture is in the garage
Well Daft Punk is playing at my house, my house
You got to set them up kid, set them up

I was talking to my mom on the phone the today, and while she was doing something else, I kinda singing that song, and when she came back she asks,

"Hey, is that that song by David Bowie."

Wang: "Uhh... Young Americans?"

Wang's Mom: "Yeah, that's it."

Wang: (sigh) "Uh... yeah, mom."


My mom is the coolest

Wang

broken social scene- you forgot it in people
belle and sebastian- if youre feeling sinister
???????

Excellent choice

I'd consider:

Modest Mouse- The Lonesome Crowded West

Stereolab- Emperor Tomato Ketchup

TalkTalk- Laughingstock

(shrug) But whatever

loudness - thunder in the east/lightning strikes

as you know MM is one of my favorites. and thats my favorite album of theirs.

i do not have any stereolab or talk talk. tell me about them.

you guys should man up and listen to young jeezy. none of this wussy music fools!!! CHYEA!!!

Here's what I've been into lately:

Relatively Recent Stuff:

The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois (I'm from Michigan, but I think the Illinois album is better than the Michigan album)
LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem
Art Brut - Bang Bang Rock and Roll

Older Stuff:

Any 80s New Order
Any Joy Division
The Pixies - Doolittle
Any Talking Heads

I've had the song "Isolation" by Joy Division stuck in my head all day...Doolittle is a great album. And Talking Heads are one of my favorite bands. Your stock is rising.

Yeah, it's surprising how catchy "Isolation" is, considering the lyrics, but I've definitely had those days where I catch myself humming it.

The last two days I have had it stuck in my head while on the treadmill at the gym. Probably my favorite song by Joy Division, though it was good to see their mini-revival with the release of Donnie Darko.

DJ Shadow- Endtroducing...

Believe it or not, the first time I heard this CD was like 2 weeks ago, and I'm hooked.

Really? I have had this album for a long time. This was one of my favorites back in the day...check out The Private Press by DJ Shadow also if you don't have it....

Yea, I just downloaded that yesterday, haven't listened to it yet.

Do you listen to Massive Attack or Portishead?

I have never listened to Massive Attack, and I have only heard a little Portishead, and I like. What albums should I download?

Check out Blue Lines by Massive Attack first.....then Dummy by Portishead. Those two albums and Entroducing are considered the 3 legendary trip-hop type albums (at least in my book). Mezzanine by Massive Attack is also a great album.

Will do, thanks man.

On my playlist right now:
Panic! at the Disco
Idiot Pilot
Matasyahu
Motion City Soundtrack
Avenged Sevenfold

Hey, are you good friends with my 13 year old sister?

I'm sure you have heard some of Massive Attack's stuff before and just might not have known it was them. I remember hearing Unfinished Sympathy a lot back in the day....Teardrop off of Mezzanine has a sweet video if you can find it.

Yea, I have heard of them, I just can't put a song to them.

Listening to The Roots - Illadelph Halflife

Outstanding album.

doubtful

The Roots are pretty good.

Album of the Day: Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake is the `70s version of Elliott Smith. Kind of a depressing album, but still a good listen. Very catchy songs here, like Cello Song and River Man. This and Pink Moon are both excellent albums, but I give this one the nod.

King Crimson... Court of the Crimson King. Red. Lot's of hidden poker magic in this bands catalog

A Louie Devito mix

they put on a really good live show

lol. Blue Lines sounds pretty outdated now, but it was the shit in 1990!

also, Moby essentially did a covers version of that album eight years later and sold a few million copies (Play).

Bryter Layter is my fav by far. I still celebrate his entire catalog.

The Portishead Live from NYC album is the best, imo, though I love it all.

Massive Attack's output is spotty, and everything pre-Mezzanine sounds pretty outdated.

Sneaker Pimps are rad. Splinter is my fav album.

Weird...

I just hopped on here to mention that I was listening to

The Roots- Roots Come Alive

and

Nick Drake- Pink Moon

and

The Who- BBC Sessions

and

Led Zeppelin- BBC Sessions


Turns out somebody's all over my Roots/Nick Drake fetish.


Wang

AC/DC

Yipes

Great CD....I mentioned this one a couple of days ago. It is my favorite King Crimson CD. Fripp is a genius.
