What Are You Listening To?

[Swatopluk]

The Sunday edition of Up! with Chris Hayes
(also more listening than watching)

Again, just listening to the audio... wish there was a way to filter the video to audio-only during the streaming.   (I know how to do that, post-download, but not during the live stream...)

In case you need a translation...

'Member when we argued on the concept of regret?
You were an expert even then but not me, not yet
Now all you gotta do's remind me that we met
And there you got me, that's how you got me, taught me to regret

'Member how I asked you why are you so mean?
You didn't know how to yet to bein' seen
I tried to be your friend, you made me seem so ?
And there you got me, that's how you got me, you taught me to be mean

[Hook x2]
I ran out of white dove feathers
To soak up the hot piss that comes through your mouth
Every time you address me

'Member when I was so sick and you didn't believe me?
Then you got sick too and guess who took care of you?
You hated that, didn't you? Didn't you?
Now when you look at me, you're condemned to see
The monster your mother made you to be
And there you got me, that's how you got free, you got rid of me

[Hook x2]

Alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Alone

I could liken you to a werewolf the way you left me for dead
But I admit that I provided a full moon
And I could liken you to a shark the way you bit off my head
But then again I was waving around a bleeding open wound

And you are such a super guy 'til the second you get a whiff of me
We're like a wishing well and a bolt of electricity
But we can still support each other, all we gotta do is avoid each other
Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key
Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key

The lava of the volcano shot up hot from under the sea
One thing leads to another and you made an island of me

And I could liken you to a chemical the way you made me compound a compound
But i'm a chemical, too, inevitable
You and me would mix
And I could liken you to a lot of things but I always come around
'cause in the end i'm a sensible girl
I know the fiction of the fix

And you are such a super guy 'til the second you get a whiff of me
We are like a wishing well and a bolt of electricity
But we can still support each other, all we gotta do's avoid each other
Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key (x 3)

..not to leave on a down note, this lovely duet betwxt sisters...  to really get this one?  You need to listen about 3 or 4 times ... seriously.  It'll grow on you, or else you'll really-really hate it (_{and me for making you listen--but thats okay too}   ) ...

If I'm butter then
He's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinemascope screen
Showing a dancing bird of paradise

He excites me: must be like the Genesis of Rhythm
I get feisty whenever I'm with him

I'm a hot knife
He's a pat of butter
If I get a chance
I'm gonna show him that
He's never gonna need another
Never need another

[Background vox]
And you can
And you can
And you can relax around me.

Maybe you could teach me something
Maybe I could teach you too

By the way?  This isn't looped, but was done live, with all the repetitions and everything-- it's Ms Apple & her sister.

[Darlica]

Chris Isaak's greatest hits.
I love that voice. His music also makes me remember some of the LP's my mom used to play when I was a kid.

Not that I love Christmas songs very much but I think I could actually stand his Christmas album...

[Swatopluk]

For solstice...eh...Xmas I choose the two albums of the HPLHS.
Otherwise I like what Maddy Prior produced in that field.

At last I found time to work through the Delius CDs.

[Darlica]

Lindorm Playing "civilization" on his computer.

[Swatopluk]

Quadriga Consort - On a cold winter's day

[Lindorm]

I set my media player program to randomly play all the songs in the music folder on my computer. Ye Gods, some of things it discovered...!

[Darlica]

Ye Gods indeed...

One moment song sends you into a sentimental mood... remembrance of teenage sins...

The next is just a bit WT flying F???


I highly recommend this activity for new years eve.

[Swatopluk]

Sigrid Moldestad - Sandkorn
preceded by
Värttina - Oi Dai

a bit or two of Ragnheiður Gröndal during the day

[Aggie]

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

I like the album best played alphabetically, with The Suburbs (Continued) first, and The Suburbs last.

Previous / next is Bjork's Homogenic. I used to listen to this when I was 17. Explains some of my musical tastes now.

[Swatopluk]

As is my usual way, I use the backdoor. Most people think only Björk when asked about Icelandic music. I (at least consciously) listened to that girl for the first time just a few days ago to compare her version of the Xmas cat song with the one of Ragnheiður Gröndal (which imo is the better one). And that's me who occasionally orders stuff directly from Iceland because I cannot get it otherwise.

[Opsa]

I just got a CD of ragtime music called The Red Back Book (scroll down to hear samples) for my next production, "Rabbit Hill". I am listening to it now, and I just can't possibly think of anything bouncier or more rabbit-like. I'm practically crying with joy. It is so damned cute.
