Hmm these albums are currently in heavy rotation on my iPod

- Say Anything: In Defense of the Genre

awesome double album, and great songwriting.

-Deftones: B-sides and rarities

some great acoustic versions of a few songs and they also do covers of Lynard Skynard, Duran Duran, The Cure and The Smiths

- Queens of the Stone Age: Era Vulgaris

just a great rock album all around.

Listening to Maze of the Dark

Just about to go to sleep, so I'm putting on a little of Handel's Water Music.

Lately I've been listening to online radio, courtesy of iTunes. I'm currently tuned to BeatBasement and I listen to BassDrive, Bassjunkees, cliqhop, Destroyer.net, DnBRadio and UK Bass Radio. I also have some classical stations on my list, like IranianRadio.com for traditional Persian music. There's a decent selection of folk stations I've been meaning to check out for bluegrass and more contemporary stuff.

Oh, and I've been listening to some ambient Finnish music like Sateenkaarisuudelma. I'm interested in what kind of music gets produced in such a neat country, like Iceland.

Currently listening to I wish I was a lesbian, gonna start up a loop of other songs in a few minutes.

Was that supposed to be serious? With anime, I'm just never sure. :D

[Avalon]

It's more of a tribute to a comic relief character from the anime/manga called Full Metal Alchemist.

The actions in the AMV are really part of the anime.

[Barnum]

"Ants Marching," Dave Matthews. :)

[Folkert]

"The longest day", Paul Anka.

[Veiled Malice]

The new Flobots album. It's all good.

[Barnum]

Eleanor Rigby, by the Beatles.

Such a sad little song. :|

[Heridfel]

Silverchair, Young Modern

You can hear it here. I just found that out.

[Veiled Malice]

Elanor Rigby

- remixed by Godhead

It's still sad, but now it's a more creepy sad. :)

[Geez3r]

:shock:

Weird, I'm listening to Elanor Rigby remixed by Pain. Before that, Master of Puppets by Metallica and before that Pork and Beans by Weezer. Yeah, my tastes in music are a little screwy.

[Affliction]

DMX, B***h Please!

[Veiled Malice]

And the complete the trifecta,

Elanor Rigby,

-remixed by Thrice :)

[Barnum]

DMX, B***h Please!

Yeah . . . and could you turn it down a little. Thanks.

Anybody under 30 here probably hasn't heard Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys and needs to. I consider it the greatest pop album of all-time, sitting next to Sgt. Pepper's, Revolver, What's Going On, and a few others.

Speaking of the Beatles, Paul McCartney got quite a bit of inspiration from Brian Wilson and has called 'God Only Knows' the greatest song ever written, including his own work with the Fab Four.

[Barnum]

I was inspired by your post, so I woke up to the Beach Boys this morning. That kind of pop takes some getting used to, but I like it. :D

Glad you like it. It does take some ears to listen to Brian's more orchestral stuff, just because he uses more than the guitar, bass, drums set-up. He used accordions, celestas, theremins, and even xylophones. He would set up all the musicians in one room, sometimes up to twenty of them, and do about twenty takes to get the sounds right. He used overdubs, but only if it was necessary. Most of the music you hear on Pet Sounds was done 'live'.

Here's a good picture of what I'm talking about

It's definitely different than listening to their early stuff like 'Surfin' USA' or 'Don't Worry, Baby'. Once you get used to the sound though, it's heavenly.

[Folkert]

In the mood for some 'easy listening', so it's:

Manowar's "Kings of Metal" album
