What Are You Listening To?

[Opsa]

Ooh, me loiks Maddy Prior.

That pipe organ CD turned out to be calliope music, and almost hilariously ham-handed. Some of it might work for comedy. It even had "In a Persian Market", which is running through my head right now.

Some Nirvana although I should be getting used to listening something a bit heavier as I'm going with my son to a Megadeth/Slayer/Anthrax concert.

Not quite metal, but I'd recommend the Choking Victim album "No Gods, No Managers" to warm you up with a bit of screaming.  Provided you fancy a bit of (self-described) satano-political ska-punk.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

That's easy listening! (and cool BTW). 

[Aggie]

Used to be my favourite album - not best, but most frequently listened to.  Being approximately 30 minutes long helped it.

More of the ancient* fairy tale recordings

*1950ies; and the female storyteller learned the stuff pre-WW1

Tinnitus. Yesterday I went with my son to a concert of Heavy Metal, VERY LOUD concert of heavy metal and today my hearing is restricted somewhat, although getting better little by little...

Hope your ears have quieted down, Zone!

I'm listening to a CD of Smoky Mountain banjo and fiddle music a friend gave me. She had found it in a dollar store and thought it might be good overture for our projected production of Tom Sawyer in the spring. It is surprisingly good.

Enya and some TomDispatch audio podcasts

I've been listening to a group called "The XX" quite a lot lately. My latest trainee introduced me to them, and I must say that I really do like their sort of moody melancholy. Very good for freight train driving through the night, at least. I wonder how they music sound if I listen to it at home, instead of in the cab of a loco, which has it's own peculiar soundscape?

Oh, and a Factory Records oldie: The Wake. Sounds alot like very early New Order, around the time of Movement / Everything's Gone Green. Not surprising, really, but still nice.

An audio edition of The Princess Bride (German but with readers that are simply perfect)

Fortunately they have, and next time we'll use earplugs.

May not translate - I have several field favorites that work well alone at night in a truck but don't work at home.  Ween's Pure Guava comes to mind, especially.

Beethoven's Missa Solemnis

When I was just a wee lad and my Latin not yet very good I thought that meant that this was a soporific mess.
No, not because it was boring but because I took Solemnis as derived from somnus (sleep) or somnium (dream) and thus meaning sleep inducing.
