What are you listening to

[jayse]

Ok ok ok, I'll ask. How many ?

How many wolfmothers does it take to change a light bulb?


None Black Sabbath already changed it!

Apocalyptica - made a CD of all of their Metallica covers.

Makes you realise just how well constructed the songs on the Puppets and Justice albums were when they sound that good being played by 4 cellos.

I'm listening to Televisions "Marquee Moon" right now. Great songs, good vibe and excellent guitar . Vintage era of late 70's New York.

Hey Bowie, what age group / generation are you? When you move back to QLD next year we'll have to get into drinking some ale and listening to Daimond Dogs, Ziggy Stardust etc and have a good nostalgia trip I'm currently doing up my brewhouse for sound although nothing too raucous as it's right out next to the street :icon_cheers:

'Soundtrack to the Proposition' by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.

 

[WarmBeer]

Silence.

Nothing but pure, beautiful, silence.

Have offloaded the kids for the night, and the wife is having a kip. It's not often I get to relish the quiet hum of the refrigerator. Might have to pop a beer and 'enjoy the serenity'

korpiklaani - let's drink

Um, Ross WIlson is programming Rage and has selected The Veronicas.

Thanks, bloke.

 

[redbeard]

new AiC is awesome
old Living Colour still good

 

[boingk]

'Spin City' album from Ajax. Couple of years old and pretty upbeat/dancy stuff, but there are a few tracks in there that I don't mind listening to to relax.

If I had the album, I'd be listening to the Blue Danube waltz or Thus Spoke Zarathustra (2001: Space Odessey soundtrack).

If I had a replacement stylus, I'd be listening to Dark Side of the Moon by Floyd.

By the by, bribie; bit of a fan of Bowie myself...and if you're after a stand-alone speaker unit its hard to go past Logitec's X-530 5.1 surround package if they still make it. Awesome quality and bass and not very expensive. Not affiliated with them, they just do good speakers.

Cheers - boingk

Logitec...[snip]...they just do good speakers.

NO COMMENT!

 

[boingk]

NO COMMENT!

:blink: Have I stumbled onto some sort of taboo topic here?

 

[bum]

Nah.

I just dunno how happy I'd be to recommend a $150 5.1 system as being the duck's nuts.

 

[boingk]

Fair call I suppose. Its certainly not the be all and end all, but if you're after a speaker setup thats not going to blast the roof off, and still give you high quality treble and bass then I'd recommend it.

Its an interesting area, I mean I've heard Sony systems that sound better some of the top-end European brands. Go figure.

Curse Ov Dialect - Crisis Tales

Man, Paso Bionic is getting really ******* slick. I've always been quite partial to his work but he is getting pretty insane. Getting to the point where I'm happy to put him forward as my favourite DJ of all time. OF ALL TIME. He's just ridiculous. The only problem with his non-stop (and exponential) improvement with each release is that he is pants-ing the rest of the band. He is further exposing the weaknesses of (at least) 3 of the MCs. Raceless has always been kinda ordinary on record - he has always been needed to seen live to understand what he does but his limitations on record are laid very bare at times here. August 2nd is generally superfluous on this record (even though he was massively improved on the last record). Atarungi is, well, still Atarungi - sometimes awesomely bizarre and others just kinda weak and trying too hard. Volk is still doing his thing, probably not pushing himself as hard as the others though.

But, Christ, it just sounds awesome. Can't wait to give it a bash on headphones.

 

[MarkBastard]

Albums I've been listening to lately...

Billy Bragg - Talking to the tax man about poetry
Flogging Molly - drunken lullaby's
Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman
Steve Earle - Copperhead Road
Beatles - Sgt Peppers
Beatles - White Album

 

[manticle]

Raceless has always ........ been needed to be seen live

(slight edit and snip of quote)

Best when he keeps his pants on.

Sounds like a plan Bribie. Gonna be about 8-9 months before we move back. I'm Gen X (born in QLD, 1978) and I've been in Melbourne for seven years now. Can't wait to get back to the QLD lifestyle. I've caught many a flathead on Bribie and visited the pub too often. Would love to get amongst the HB ales!! Aaahhh, QLD! Can't wait. Your brewhouse sounds great! Street party on Bribie! :beerbang:

Flicking through my CDs I found a classic from 2001 - Airheads: The Droppin' Science Experience.
The Kilawattz track is still so so very dope.

Ahhh. It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.
