Whatcha listenin' to? (Yet again!)


_Sweet Willie_

Recommended Posts

I remember someone mentioning Tower of Power The Warner Years CD here (or perhaps in another thread.)

 

Haven't heard it for roughly 3 months now and needed my T.O.P. jones fix!

 

So I put it in my CD player, turned the volume up to 11 and am presently groovin'.

 

Good stuff!

Weekdays I'm listening through a Compaq iPod, sometimes through the built-in speakers, sometimes through a pair of Koss headphones, depending on whether or not I need to be able to hear the phone ring. Currently, I'm cycling mostly between 2 albums:

 

- The Police: Every Breath You Take (The Singles)

 

- Snake Pit (a.k.a. Slash's solo effort): Ain't Life Grand

 

There's also a host of singles from Living Color, Kravitz, et. al. that I'm learning for a benefit in two weeks. Also some originals that are "works in progress". More on that when they're available for public consumption.

That was me on the 'what is THE album thread' ;)

My local newspaper wrote about "Ball.." last Sunday. It included lyric changes through the years. Haven't heard it myself yet...

Have also been listening to Deep Purples greatest hits collection called Deepest Purple and i'm currently enjoying 'Child in Time;.

 

Also been listening to Chick Corea - Eye of the Beholder. Amnesia is a cool track :thu:

In the car:

Stone Temple Pilots - Core

Allman Brothers - One Way Out (new live CD)

Joe Satriani - Engines of Creation

 

In the DVD at home:

Primus - Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People

 

At any given time there's a good chance you'll catch me listening to one of Aerosmith's first four albums or Black Sabbath (Ozzie on vocals).

Will play bass for food.

"Pornograffitti" (1990) by Extreme. (a.k.a. "Extreme II") Besides "Get The Funk Out", "More Than Words" and "Hole Hearted" there are a few other hidden gems. My CD still has this sticker "Parental Advisory - Explicit Lyrics" on the jewel case.

 

Too bad the singer jumped ship to join Van Halen. Not the first time a singer demonstrated his lack of business sense (and probably not the last.)

Right now Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

watching the Yankees game (with CC on) waiting for the dough to rise for my meatball and sausage rolls... Having a Tequila or 12...

 

Earlier Bush - 16 Stone.. I usually hit "random" on my 301 cd player and when/if something catches me, I continue the cd. I have to admit, that's one in my collection that I don't play often but for some reason it hit me today. You have to mix it up sometimes. Sabbath is a tried and true friend that I visit often.

If you think my playing is bad, you should hear me sing!

It makes me so happy to see more Zappa fans on the forum. :)

 

Dammit. Just Another Band From LA is one of the albums I don't have on my machine at work. Live At The Fillmore East is going to have to do for now... almost the same band.
