Listening to Dusty Springfield's Son of a Preacher Man. Someone left the TV on American Movie Classic in the breakroom yesterday and Pulp Fiction was on. That caused this song to lodge itself in my head. I did turn the tv to a different channel. Pulp Fiction is not very work friendly, hehe.

Listening to an interesting but slightly weird sci-fi

Gotta say, I finished listening to A Dangerous Thing for the third time the other day. Fantastic audio book. And I love the sweet scenes, where you can tell they care a lot about each other but won't admit to anything. Also the sex scenes (mentioned just for Josh's benefit, here. lol) were very well read. Like, OMG well read by the narrator.

[Jordan]

The narrator for Daughter of Smoke and Bone is superb. She can do all these crazy voices and accents. Just for that alone, I'm enjoying the book. I finally got to the third CD last night. Hopefully I'll get to more of it soon.

Found this new-to-me artist today. Nice song, cool video:

Young Love by Eli Lieb

[Mtsnow13]

Listen to Orson Wells classic radio performance of 10 Shakespeare plays on Open Culture

You're welcome! Here is another one from him that I found yesterday and that I like a lot. It's a cover version of Lana Del Rey's Ride. I, too, find his voice very enjoyable to listen to — somehow really sexy. :-)

I like Lana Del Rey, too, so this should be a pleasure :D

I was rummaging in a rarely opened drawer of cassette tapes - yes, I still have some - and found a couple of old books on tape. Since I'm well into audiobooks right now I'm hoping they still work. Especially the one of The Valley of Fear, which is narrated by Sir Christopher Lee! Awesome. Will give them a try soon. Yes, I still have a tape player. :D

Nice! You're not the only one. I've got a tape player and a lot of cassettes, though I don't listen to it much, except for audio books at night if I can't sleep. Hopefully I'll dig out The Odyssey read by Ian McKellen this summer to read along to as I chose that for one of my summer reading books. Can't wait!

How cool!

I still have my The Velveteen Rabbit cassette narrated by Meryl Streep. I absolutely love it.

[Jordan]

I've got all but one Harry Potter now and a few Redwall books, narrated by the author himself. And The Odyssey. I think that's it for audios on cassette.

I have two on CD, but I can't remember the titles, because I picked them up at random. One, is a telling of a specific battle with George Washington. (I was in a historical mood when I picked it up. otherwise I would have ignored it, since it's plain historical and has no romance or anything else to keep me interested. Still in my historical mood, so I'm thinking I might listen to this one after I finish Daughter of Smoke and Bone.)

And then I have one of the books by Kathy Reichs who's novels inspired the TV show Bones. I didn't like the show too much, as it's too much like every other CSI show out there. Person solves crimes and falls for her coworker at the same time. Blah. But the original books are fantastic. And Kathy knows what she's talking about so it's relatively realistic too. I read the third one awhile ago, not realizing it was part of a series or anything and really enjoyed it. So, a free audio came into my possession, we'll see if it's just as good. I don't plan to read the whole series, but this way totally works. lol.

I'd heard the song, but had no idea about the video. Nice/cool, exactly. Thanks for sharing.

YouTube is a dangerous place. Here's one of the songs/videos pitched on the same page as Young Love. It's coming from a completely different place, although I suppose the YouTube correlation is "gay." I'm embarrassed to find it so funny. Forewarning: The title is "I Like Your Bubble."

[Idamus]

Have gone back ebooks and therefore I've put on my playlist number 3 AKA Various Chess CDs
It works very well with m/m reading for me

I like it. :)
At the very beginning I didn't think it would be good but then it caught me. And I like the video, how they make eyes at each other...

OMG, I can't believe this... can't stop staring... It's just so... hilarious.

Oh yes, Karen, that one was... wild. ;-)

And to continue to play Karen's game "what's pitched on the same page as this video"... ;-) Here is something that I found on the same page that the I Like Your Bubble *grin* song:

All-American Boy by Steve Grand.

[Valerie]

Oh, my. That is hilarious!

Johanna, I think I first came across Eli Lieb while watching that Steve Grand video.

All-American Boy went viral on YouTube last summer. If I remember, the video was funded with gifts and by maxing out his credit cards. Meanwhile he has done some amazing fundraising on Kickstarter. He is currently running a campaign to fund his first album. There are three videos on his website. He has media smarts, a sweet voice, and has struck a chord with fans.

Oh, that's interesting. Thank you for the info and link, Karen. He sure has a sweet voice and he's... mmm... easy to look at. :-)

Thanks for posting all these great music videos! Eli is amazing! And the Bubble song was too funny. :-)

TY--I've actually never seen a Steve Grand video before. He's adorable.

Yup, I did notice. I think I have mild obsession for eyes and smiles... ;)

[Valerie]

I finished listening to Night Broken by Patricia Briggs which was pretty good. I just started Written in Red by Anne Bishop.

As for music I've been listening to an interesting mix of Eva Cassidy, Brandi Carlile, My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Pierce the Veil, & Fall Out Boy.

A few from Brandi Carlile:

Turpentine
Heart's Content
Dreams
Hallelujah

[Feral]

@ Valerie TY for all of those. I liked both of your books too. :)

I finally started Lives Like Loaded Guns but its very long and not a quick read. I may be on it for a while.

I finished my listening of The Stand a couple of days ago - took a month! Now listening to Strange Fortune - and after I finish that I have no more new Josh audio to listen too. Aaargh! When is the next audiobook release?

Do I detect a trace of addiction there?

Be strong! The next audio book will surely come... sooner or later ;-)

Almost certainly. :D

According to Josh's website, there's lots of audiobooks in the works, so you shouldn't be left wanting for too long.

Oh good. I was just thinking about that. Well, there are a few of his I don't own yet. Been debating whether I should get DG 5 or not. I haven't read it, so I'm thinking I should. But I also already own Darkling Thrush in audio which I haven't read or listened to yet.

The big question is, what will I listen to on my train ride this Saturday morning when I'm too sleepy to understand anything?

[Mtsnow13]

Just finished listening to Outcast Mine. Wasn't bad if you like aliens and scifi ;)

I enjoyed the book, I'll have to check out the audio.

[Becky]

I think I'm slightly burned out on Audiobooks. My attention keeps wandering during Strange Fortune, so I've put put aside for now and will restart it sometime later.

I keep falling asleep to that one, I think it's the narrator 'cause I enjoyed the ebook
Try another book before you declared a burn out :p

[Becky]

Well I have also got another listen to Fair Game on the go, while I figure out what to buy next from Audible. :D

I loved it! Especially his Valentine Strange :)

[Valerie]

I own Strange Fortune in audio but haven't listened (or read) it yet. I have been saving that one and The Dark Tide audio.

I'm still listening to Written in Red. I am enjoying the story but the narrator reads too slowly for me. I may just get the ebook.

I guess it varies, like, some people like rock and others pop :-)
I love the book, I read the ebook a while back, but that particular narrator? He's awesome when I have insomnia

LOL I do it during housework or car rides.

[Jordan]

Audio books are great when I can't initially fall asleep. But like last weekend when I woke up at 3am wide awake, I picked up my Kindle and started rereading the last Rifter book. Because sometimes you just need to be a little bit more active for awhile.

And yeah, I wish I was still reading the Rifter. lol. I miss John and Kyle, very, very much.

In fact, I taped a quote to my computer monitor at work which reads:

"So long as you're living, never give up." -Jath'ibaye

Can we get The Rifter in audio? I'd buy it in a second. Seriously. This NEEDS to get done. Like, ASAP.

I'm all for that! Wonder if this would be a good Kickstarter proposition *hints* don't know how we get authors inboard with putting in the investment it takes for an audiobook?

Don't know if there is enough return for them to do it..seems like Josh indicated it takes quite a bit...and the wrong narrator could ruin an exllent story!

But, Ginn does have her own GR group. We could all descend on her over there and beg and plead...
