What Are You Listening to Right Now?
the flaming lips - when you smile/psychiatric exploratons of the fetus with needles (live 1996)vashti bunyan - girl's song in winter
most unpleasant men - platform
mc honky - a good day to be you
fiona apple - get him back

belle & sebastian - the boy done wrong again
the last shadow puppets - the time has gone again
After Bon Scott checked into the Wooden Waldorf, a friend of mine swore off AC/DC before even hearing "Back in Black," fully convinced Brian Johnson hadn't a prayer in heaven or hell of filling his shoes.
That's up for debate - let's face it, the band has been basically releasing the same album over and over again for the past 30 years - but there's something to be said for foisting Scott and Angus “Schoolboy” Young on a largely unsuspecting world, inspiring a serial killer (Richard “Hail, Satan” Ramirez), and, with “You Shook Me All Night Long,” providing a backdrop for an army of silicone-enhanced, cosmetically-altered strippers leaving a shopping list of bodily fluids on brass poles across the planet. I say that’s a beautiful thing. Unless the strippers are tattooed or body pierced, of course. That shit does nothing for me.

Wow. Janine is not just listening to eels, she's listening to very old, rare pre-eels "E" music and MC Honkey, one of E's alter egos. You rock, Janine!
i decided it was time to listen to the entire album again.
i don't have a copy of broken toy shop, but i do have a few (illegal) songs. i love my old raincoat.
Janine, I have Broken Toy Shop, so if you want a copy, message me...I can put one in the mail or send it electronically...(It's out of print, so no fretting, file sharing haters...)
:)
are you sure you want to send a copy all the way to 'mauritius'?
Sure! I don't mind. Message me, and I'm on it...
maybe i should wait until tomorrow before deciding to share my secret identity.
I understand. For all I know, you could be a serial killer:)
eh, i eh... i... i don't think i should...
Hey, I don't take it personally, no sweat:)
phew, no one noticed i was replying to the serial killer bit, my secret is save
emanuel and the fear - listen[image error]
angus & julia stone - down the way
Here's what my Ipod has queued for this morning:The Weight (Last Waltz version) - The Band
Coal Black Horses - 16horsepower
I'm on Fire (Springsteen cover) - some band called the Stalking Horses
The Saddest Day of My Life - Shudder to Think
A Love Supreme - The Twilight Singers
Not bad, other than having to skip my own song. This is my smaller iPod, only a thousand songs on it, so less choice but also less chance of something I'm not keen on coming up, since I chose the songs on this one carefully.
Sarah, can I find that version of I'm on Fire online somewhere, i.e., iTunes or some other music download site? I'm very keen on hearing your...uh...their version.
Lots and lots of albums I've been listening to this past week. Either stuff I've bought or been lucky enough to find them at the library:
She and Him - Volume Two
Broken Bells
Jimi Hendrix - Valleys of Neptune
Charlotte Gainsbourg - IRM
Bat for Lashes - Two Suns
M. Ward - Hold Time
The Magnetic Fields - Distortion
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Bob Dylan - Love and Theft
Rachel Yamagata - Elephants...Teeth Sinking into Hearts

Did you sing along to the Roxette, Barb?I've been listening to the new Drive-by Truckers pretty much non-stop.

That's one of the songs I don't cringe over too much when I hear myself, though I do tend to skip anything of me when it pops up on the iPod. I'm pretty proud of my oohs at the end.
next up in itunes:iron & wine and calexico - he lays in the reins
the flaming lips - strychnine/peace love and understanding
eels - fresh feeling (from the live manchester 2005 ep)
the flaming lips - 1000 foot hands (early mix, from the soft bulletin companion)
elbow - mexican standoff (finally learned what that is from watching inglorious basterds)
panda bear - search for delicious
the flaming lips - christmas at the zoo (some christmas songs are always good)
eels - ant farm
herman düne - not on top
dead man's bones - flowers grow out of my grave
the flaming lips - okay i'll admit that i really don't understand (from the soft bulletin companion, not zaireeka, i don't have four cd players)
beirut - the bunker
the unicorns - ghost mountain
that will be a lot of flaming lips, but not unexpected considering they make up over 10% of my itunes library.
In honor of Billy Idol’s cameo in “The Wedding Singer,” now on constant rotation at Chez Clark:
Generation X's "Dancing with Myself" - Last-gasp single from a band which took a lot of guff from their old-school Brit punk contemporaries for their thinly-veiled aspirations for stardom, particularly evident in their front man who would later fly solo under the auspices of Kiss guru Bill Aucoin. Ex-Sex Pistol Steve Jones is on hand to provide the chugging, wall-of-noise guitar riffs.

i discovered her music because someone (clark?) mentioned her on this thread.
Clark, Generation X's first record was possibly the first punk record I bought. Wasn't Tony James in Generation X, too? I saw him in Lords of the New Church a couple times.Never in Sigue Sigue Sputnik, though.;)

sarah pi says hooray, trust her.
"Funnel of Love" by Wanda Jackson was on one of either Sarah or Gus' shebangs, and it became one of my favorites instantly.

RA, it was BRIAN James - ex-Damned guitarist - who was in Lords of the New Church. Tony James was in Generation X and Sigue Sigue Sputnik. Saw the Lords once at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit, a gig gone horribly awry after Stiv Bators tried to insert a microphone up his butt.
But I digress... That first Generation X album is friggin' GREAT!!!

I can't believe it's been a whole year already since then. Everyone's lovely mixes are putting me very much OUT of the mood to study for exams in and very much in the mood to air-guitar around my apartment in a state of undress.
