: Song/Band of the moment

I thought it'd be cool for all of us to post the song and/or band we've been listening to.  It'll help us learn from each other, and maybe find new tunes!  Normally I'm an Alt/indie/rock chick.  Unfortunately my grandmother was watching Soap operas today and Ashlee Simpson's new song "Boyfriend" was playing and it's been stuck in my head like no one's business.   >:(  Later I'll post when I'm listening to a cool song.  I'm so ashamed! :'(

I don't even know you any more!!   ;)

Ozomatli has a new live CD, Live at the Fillmore, that I have been listening to constantly lately.  I am also kind of listening a lot lately to a song called "Bug Eyes" by Dredg, and some old punk rock by The Damned.  I have eclectic tastes, which is another word for weird.  :)

I recently bought the new Theory of a Deadman CD. At first I didn't like it and now I listen to it all the time. lol

Jacksmom, I LOVE Def Leppard.. The Hysteria album is my favourite. I'm not too fond of their newer stuff though.

Aerosmith is on my computer at work, set low enough so I don't catch any guff from the geritol crowd.

Def Leppard RULES and anyone who says differently should be held in BPO prison with evil mojos!   ;)  I'm listening to a mix of 80s hair bands as we speak!

My music tastes are ALL over the place, it really depends on my mood.  I still love John Mayer's live album.  He makes me feel calm.  I'll just be over here swooning.....

I guess it depends which second you catch me.  lol

Right now I'm listening to The Black Keys, my new addiction.  They are so AWESOME!  ;D  But I listen to such a wide range of stuff from
Meatloaf to Ani Difranco,
Stone Temple Pilots & Velvet Revolver,
to Tori Amos & Indigo Girls,
Squirrel Nut Zippers to Arlo Gutherie,
Primus to 'Goober & the Peas',
Fatboy Slim to Soul Coughing & Cake,
and even Eminem to Edith Piaf 
the list goes on and on... :D 

This is an awesome thread, maybe we should start a couple others like it?  Its fun learning about others likes and whatnots...

I'm like that with Dave Matthews. I don't care if he's talking about firewood ... he still makes me swoon. Sad, huh?

Jenn - I am right there with you!!  John could right a song about a hemorrhoid and I'd think it was the best, most romantic song EVER.  DMB does rock.  Have you heard their new song, "Dreamgirl"?

Moni - You sound like me!  If you look at my CD collection, one would think I had a multiple personality disorder.   :D

Hey, Moni....did you steal my CD's? hahahha! That sounds like my collection! Well....minus the Eminem. For some reason, he just pisses me off. I think that's cuz he reminds me of my little brother who sucks.

Anyway....yeah ....I really like all the stuff Moni listed, AND Def Leppard, AND country music. Woooh, boy. I am really into country music right now! And not just the poppy stuff, I also like alot of alt. country.

I also like alot of world music. My particular fave is Moroccan Gnawa, but I also like soukous from South Africa, reggae, etc. One of my FAVORITE bands is from Scotland and their called Shooglenifty. They ROOOOOOOOOOCK!

OOOOH!  I forgot we had the Official World Music gurus on this board!  There is an Irish band that I LOVE called Flogging Molly. SOOOOO GOOOOD!!!  I'll have to check out that Scottish band you mentioned, Nicole!
: Re: Song/Band of the moment
: Nicole September 20, 2005, 09:25:14 AM
Yeah, they are really good. They don't have any lyrics, just instrumental, but...man. I LOVE it. We have a World Music festival here in Bloomington every year...its called Lotus Fest, and that's where I first heard them. I fell in love, and got online and bought a few of their CD's.

I'll hafta check out Flogging Molly. hahhaha! Molly is my daughter's name. I'll have to tell her about them.

Flogging Molly is great!  I have seen them like 4 times, and every time was terrific...

I like a lot of country too, but my favorite is country that sounds really old and "hillbilly"...  I like Hank Williams III, Two Dollar Pistols, Star Room Boys, etc.... 

I like it all, seriously.  From really mainstream stuff to really obscure stuff.  Anything from The Mars Volta to Grant Lee Buffalo to Femi Kuti to Beau Jocque and the Zydeco Hi-Rollers....   :D

We are definitely going to have to get some BPO mix tapes going...   :D

: Nicole September 20, 2005, 10:44:31 AM
Yeah, the old hillbilly stuff is awesome.

Have you ever heard of Trailer Bride, bunny? They're awesome.

OOH! I forgot to mention my favorite band....Dressy Bessy!!! They're like...ummm... .poppy and sweet and super girly. Its like listening to your 8th grade diary put to music and words. Its awesome stuff.

Yeah, I have TOTALLY heard of Trailer Bride.  Seriously, just about anybody on Bloodshot Records is good.  Neko Case, Kelly Hogan, Paul Burch (love him!)....  Wasn't Robbie Fulks on there for awhile?  I like all the like spooky southern gothic creepy country stuff too.... 

Have you ever heard of a guy named Jim White?  His first album has a beautiful creepy song on it called "Still Waters". 

I like the Dropkick Murpheys too!  Bands like them and Flogging Molly always send me back to listening to old Pogues records....

: Anky September 20, 2005, 11:32:17 AM
I drank with Dropkick Murphys!  One of my best friends/adpoted brother partied with them and I got to go too.  Those bast.... buggers drank me under the table though......  I am wicked eclectic.  Moni and Andi have seen my music selection.  I just got a new Music subscription program and I was all excited about DLing all these songs I've been wanting.  But I couldn't think of anything!  Right now I've got "Photograph" by, Nickleback, the EVIL Ashlee Simpson song, "Move it" you know the song from Madagascar, and that's it.  At the Nashua house though we have 2 computers just dedicated to music storage, plus an external hardrive, PLUS whatever's on the regular computer.  We listen to EVERYTHING!

PS Right now I'm listening to "Wasteland" by 10 years.  Kind of mainstream (Says the girl who listened to a pop star's song on a lop for an hour last night) for my tastes but I still like it.

Great topic! I'm a bit of a music sl&t... I listen to a bit of everything. Right now I'm grooving to Beck (step to you, with a fresh pack of gum...)
But the last couple of days I've been hooked on Cake and I always make time for Tool.... AHHH!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE disco and 80's!!!

I really like the country song "Hillbilly" (i think that is what it is called).  I have no idea who sings it, do you guys know?
: Re: Song/Band of the moment
: SwissysRock September 20, 2005, 02:41:43 PM
Everything but country  :P  - sorry all you hillbillys out there!   ;)

Totally into 70's and 80's.  Just went to a Hall & Oates concert!!!  :)

: GrumpyBunny September 20, 2005, 05:00:47 PM
Love Hall and Oates.  Nothing wrong with a little Hall and Oates.

greek4, I haven't heard that song and I couldn't find it on iTunes, so I dunno...   ???

I'm a serious Jackson Browne fan.
But for fun I like "Me First and the Gimme Gimme's"
They do covers of great 'old' tunes in a "Surf Punk" style.
My tatooed son turned me on to them.
He's the head graphic designer for an 'alternative' record label in Hollyweird,CA.
When he sees his Grandma he has to wear longsleeve turtlenecks or she'll bust a vein and go bye bye.
Only problem with him is, he wants a pug!
Go Figure!
