What's playing on the stereo? - Page 21

elSicomoro · 07-18-2002, 07:17 PM

Hmmm...haven't really listened to anything different lately, other than:

Earth, Wind, and Fire--Greatest Hits

Depeche Mode--101

Depending on finances, I may fork out for the new Dave Matthews Band CD this weekend. I hear it's much better than the last one.

Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA Still the Boss. "I'm Going Down" is one of my favorite Springsteen songs ever.

What I've heard of "The Rising" is pretty interesting. I may hafta buy it.

perth · 08-28-2002, 07:44 AM

i love that song. lyrics follow.

if you havent heard it, i urge you to find it and give it a listen. both songs mentioned, as well as other great ones are on this cd.

fairytale of new york

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

Lets not forget their version of And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda.

last track on the disc i linked to. my wife cant stand the guys voice, but i find it strangely compelling. i should note that the lyrics i posted above are for a duet, so thats why some of the lines seem odd.

Notably: the woman singer on "Fairytale of New York" is Kirsty MacColl. A remarkable talent, a wonderful voice. Unfortunately she died in 2000 in a SCUBA diving accident.

elSicomoro · 08-30-2002, 03:38 PM

I'm listening to some standard fare, but you can't say I'm not keeping it diverse:

Earth, Wind, & Fire--Greatest Hits

Depeche Mode--Exciter: This CD is so underrated...man, it's great.

Jamiroquai--Synkronized

System of a Down--Toxicity: I was listening to this on the El this morning. I felt a strong temptation to sing out loud...and loudly...but resisted the urge.

Avril Lavigine - Lets go (I feel really, really dirty but there is a couple of good tracks)

Third Eye Blind - anything (truely love them)

Trainspotting soundtrack 1 & 2

Track: Ain't Goin' to Goa

Avril Lavigne - Let Go - Jag fucked up the title but his heart's in the right place. There are actually more than a couple good tracks - really the only one that's intolerable is "Sk8er Boi". Top cuts are "Too Much To Ask", "Naked", "Things I'll Never Say"... best song on the album is easily "Unwanted" and it really should be the one to end the CD, but oh well. Damn fine song.

Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusion I - "Coma" is a great long song to help the day go by a bit quicker. "Double Talkin' Jive" is always fun to listen to. "Don't Damn Me" fuckin' rules. The whole album is good.

Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction - What can I say? Great album. Easily one of the best albums from the 80's. "Welcome to the Jungle" is a great track to open the album, "Rocket Queen" is a great one to close it and everything in between fits perfectly. Su-fucking-perb.

Metallica - Load - Man did I hate this when it came out, but it grew on me over the years. There are some genuinely good tracks such as "Bleeding Me", "Mama Said" and "Cure". "2x4" is a great song to listen to when testing your speakers' volume.

Metallica - Master of Puppets - I probably consider this to be Metallica's strongest effort. Good metal that doesn't waver in strength. The only song that sorta doesn't fit is "Leper Messiah", but the rest makes up for it by far.

Twista - Adrenaline Rush - Twista is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest rapper. Listen to this CD and you'll understand why. The title track is one of the best raps I have ever heard. Do yourself a favor and buy this (but it is hard to find).

lanmaniac · 09-05-2002, 09:43 AM

Stuff on the Minidiscs at the moment...
Chemical Brothers - Come With Us
Less Than Jake stuff
The Hives
The Flaming Lips
Telefon Tel Aviv
blah blah blah blah
oh and some Rancid (damn that stuff is fun to sing along to )

My minidisc player is better than any mp3 player I've seen. Cheaper, lighter, better battery life (at least better than anything that can hold 3hrs of good quality or more), and it looks nice and fits in pockets easily.

perth · 09-05-2002, 10:48 AM

i got the bbcs dramatization of the lord of the rings for my birthday. not technically music, but i guarantee there wont be anything else in my car stereo until ive heard all 13 hours of this. its done really well. ian holm, who plays bilbo in the movies, provides the voice of frodo on this set, and i especially like the portrayal of gollum.
