OT: What´s everyone listening to?
Hi all:
<BR>
<BR>I´ve discovered some great new music in the last few years in sports-gaming forums, of all places.
<BR>
<BR>I feel a bit flat with music now, as I haven´t listened to any new, fresh stuff in a while. I´m not into rap, smooth jazz, opera or "hot" country, but all other genres are fair game.
<BR>
<BR>So what is everyone listening to these days? What new or recent releases should I check out?
<BR>
<BR>Thanks,
<BR>PK

Well, I´ve been doing anything possible to hear samples of the new Metallica disc that´s due out on June 10th. After 10 long years of disappointment, it seems as if they are finally putting out an album worthy of the Metallica name.

I really am getting into Linkin Park. Some say they are overrated but I really like them.

Holy Crap!! Another King´s X fan? I haven´t heard Black Like Sunday yet but have all of their other cds. Doug Pinnick has an amazing voice and Ty and Jerry are excellent musicians. I would highly recommend any King´s X for pure listening pleasure.

Wow, 3 people who have heard of King´s X in one thread. Pretty cool. I have not heard their newest, but have seen them live several times. An acquired taste, but definitely something different.
OT: What´s everyone listening to?
Make that four.
<BR>
<BR>I saw King´s X open for Living Colour in the early 90s. I enjoyed their set. Haven´t really heard their new stuff though. Might be worth a listen.
<BR>
<BR>As for me. I´m listening to the old standbys right now. Coldplay´s "A Rush of Blood to the Head," Nickel Creek´s "This Side" and I recently got a copy of Sean Watkins´ "26 Miles" from a friend that I´ve listened to quite a bit.

Well I´m listening to MANY different things lately, but...
<BR>
<BR>Just bought the Iron Maiden ´Eddie´s Archive´ box set and it is excellent. Just a lot of b-sides and live material. Can´t go wrong with Maiden.
<BR>
<BR>Just bought the latest releases from the Live Phish series. Just cannot seem to get enough of their live stuff. Every show is so extremely different.
<BR>
<BR>Been listening to a lot of early Misfits. Great puck rock. They are basically a raunch-ier version of the Ramones.
<BR>
<BR>A little Frank Zappa here and there.
<BR>
<BR>Some Van Halen.
<BR>
<BR>Actually just brought all my Smashing Pumpkin´s CD´s into the car and have been flipping through those. ´Melancholy´ is just so damn genius. Their last CD is pretty amzing too.
<BR>
<BR>Just bought this beautiful Joni Mitchell CD recently. It is titled ´Hijira´. Good stuff. She has such a soothing voice.
<BR>
<BR>Another recent purchase is a CD from this band called ´The Shins´. Great CD. Very 60´s english pop sounding. A lot like early Who or Kinks.
<BR>
<BR>I think that is about it lately.

Lately I´ve been listening to damn near 75% of my collection on my bad-ass new Archos 20gig MP3 player. And I wouldn´t be doing it so effortlessly were it not for pk´s valuable input. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif">
<BR>
<BR>As for CD´s:
<BR>
<BR>Lucinda Williams "World Without Tears"
<BR>Roy Hargrove: "The Rh Factor"
<BR>X-ecutioners: "Scratchology"
<BR>Led Zeppelin: "How the West Was Won"

I have to mention one of, if not the best albums to be released in the 90´s.
<BR>
<BR>Band: the Afghan Whigs
<BR>Album: Gentlemen
<BR>
<BR>This album is absolutely amazing. Greg Dulli is in rare form with his incredible and heartfelt lyrics and his amazing delivery vocally. I consider this album a must own for fans of music.
<BR>
<BR>The rest of the Whigs collection is stellar as well so I would also recommend:
<BR>
<BR>Up In It
<BR>Congregation
<BR>Black Love
<BR>1965
<BR>
<BR>and don´t forget their Motown cover EP: Uptown Avondale
<BR>
<BR>And of course Greg Dulli´s new band the Twilight Singers.
<BR>
<BR>I can´t recommend this all enough.

<BR>Yep, that´s the one. I already had a couple of the tracks, but they´re all damn good. There are also some cool snippets of interviews with various DJ´s about influences, technique etc. Generally lots of fun.
