I've listened to these albums:

Sovereign - Neurosis
Black One - SunnO)))
Frogstomp - Silverchair
Nevermind - Nirvana
Pack Up the Cats - Local H
Smash - Offspring
The Clash - The Clash (UK version...listening to it right now)

That's more than I usually get time for (and they're all albums I haven't played in a while). So, what about you? Anything interesting?

A mix of "Better Living Through Chemistry" and "You've Come A Long Way, Baby" by Fatboy Slim. Felt like a bit of childhood nostalgia. :p

Lomax's Southern Journey Volumes 12 (Georgia Sea Islands) and 08 (Velvet Voices). Mainly Christian spirituals and unaccompanied massed voice gospel performances made about 1960.

The other day the newsreader said "Badgers and drivers alike were at risk" in a suitably ominous tone. That was worth hearing.

I listened to a song called "Track 03", followed by another one called "Track 01" and yet another known as "Track 04". However, my favourite so far is the following "Track 05", which is on right now.

I seriously need to start downloading my music instead of ripping it from library CDs....

No problem. If you'd asked me a week ago which album to get I'd have said Everyone Into Position (their second), but having listened to Effloresce many many many times in the last few days, I'd have to say go for that instead.

Apparently, mine doesn't. What I do is I go to the library, find a CD I like, copy its tracks to the computer, then return it. I don't have the money to buy real CDs and would only use them about once anyway; and I don't download music from the internet most of the time, due to laziness, so iTunes doesn't automatically get the track info for me.

Awesome. I just found my copy of the Pixies' Doolittle, which has been missing for about a year. Listening to that one now. :)

Your CD-Ripper might be able to automagically get the info from the internets. I use one called CDex that does that very nicely, and you can set it to automagically catalogue the mp3s (or whatever) in the directories of your choice.

I use one called CDex that does that very nicely, and you can set it to automagically catalogue the mp3s (or whatever) in the directories of your choice.Alternatively, use a proper audio player. Foobar2000, for example, can auto-tag your ass off. And it's a hell of a lot better than anything MS throws at people (and free too).

Anyway, according to my player, I've been listening to the following shit. Mind, the links don't reflect my playlist. They're just there for your pleasure.
Kaos Urbano (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r1WjqW61nE)

I've got so used to WinAmp it's hard to move. Think I tried Foobar2000 once, but its Search (compared to WinAmp's Jump) immediately turned me off.
Media Player Classic is good for video files.

is there a such thing?

believe it or not I don't push any of this, I would be fine with them zoning out and reading all day, in fact, it would be a little bit quieter.

My girls seem to have taken me as a role model, and being that I am interested in like 10,000,000 different things and I like to learn.......I guess they picked it up. The difference being that I am finicky and they tend to stick to things (like their father does) so they will probably be more successful. I succeed at something and try something new, he tries something until he is successful, then he perfects it.

Anyway, today I haven't listened to much except the sound of my new (well, it's actually pretty old, but new to me) GIANT TV thanks to 'free' listings on Craigslist. I have become a master scavenger.

But as of late I have been listening to Sex Mob's Solid Sender and a collection of random songs a very cool friend sent me.

a diverse selection chosen by the shuffle function on my mp3 player. Cake was one of them, i like Cake, it was The Distance, my favourite song of theirs. also i think there was some chemical brothers although i don't remember the track, and a track off the FabricLive session that High Contrast did, and Queen, and Chase the devil by Max Romeo, there was a track by Basement Jaxx off Rooty too. something by John Lennon, some Happy Mondays, Klaxons, forgettable indy tracks, Roots Manuva, Captain, Shy FX, something off the Ram Trilogy CD i have i think it was Skirmish, there was bound to have been some Bob Marley playing at some point, there was a Sinatra track playing in the pub i was in at lunch time but i wasn't paying attention cuz i bashed my head on the bar. those are the ones i can remember, i spent about 5 hours in the library cafe today with music playing the whole time so there was a lot to remember, plus i wasn't paying much attention to the music with all the reading i had to do.

well if you go to a site called the writings of serge koslovski, which i doubt if i even spelled his name right, but if you know what i'm talking about, and fallow the links there to all the musicians and groups his page links to and listen to all of their free samples and fallow each of their links ... you'll get a general idea of what i listen to, when i'm listening to anything, other then when i'm listening to something on kvmr (kvmr.org). those and anime themes and other even more wonderful straingeness. music i've found from links from places linked to from odd instuments musium website and also the synth musium website. i really don't well keep track of everyplace i get to everyplace else from. but if i find something interesting i wan't to go back to and check out more of course i bookmark it and so i've got a bunch of NONcommercial webites bookmarked.

occasionaly i'll listen to npr's local jazz station too.

mostly i'm into ambient electronica, but with quite an ecclectic mix of other things thrown in, including japanese stuff, and not just j-pop, and other world beat straingeness. including celtic and pipe bands. and of course the folk music of the immaginary folk of fantasy and science fiction. and, and, and, ...

or in otherwords, just about everything you WON'T usualy hear on clearchannel.
