U2 WAR

My daughter playing the piano.

Dire Straits / Mark Knopfler -- no one can make the guitar sound as sweet and simultaneously ominous as Mark Knopfler.

FRIDAY Night in San Francisco, Di Meola, McLaughlin & de Lucia.

Moody Blues live.

Ella Fitzgerald live. Shoot, I might just run down the entire comcast on demand's concert tv lineup tonite.

Screaming Kids. My favorite Saturday night soundtrack.

Mikey Dread - Roots & Culture

Unfortunately, Mr. Campbell aka Dread at the Controls just passed away this evening.

Blondie by a group called Ada. Nothing like the Blondie that wanted to get Physical in the 70s. Still, its good, kind of an electronica, whispering vocals with a good beat and a lively ambient feel. I love it.

Big Country - In a Big Country

Beethoven's 9th, D Minor.

Davis, Kind of Blue.

Whose? I've not found a 9th that I think is notably superior to all others. (Not true of, say, the 7th, where I think Kleiber's is by so far and away the best stereo recording that it is silly. And then if you including mono recordings there is Toscanini...)

I will need to check with my daughter as she handles my iPod. (no comments please)

I would text her now, but confident she has yet to see daylight in Austin.

The one I have is superior to most imo.

winetarelli,

Just heard from my daughter. She must have been up late with her studies. What else is there to do in Austin on a Saturday night.

1986 Georg Solti's with the Chicago Symphony.

Right now I am listening to
Todd Terry Allstars-Get Down

"Salton" -Triclops

I have Abbado conducting the Vienna Philharmonic and like it.

Right now, Mozart Violin Concertos #2 & 4, Levine and Perlman.

George Thorogood-Bad to the Bone

John Coltrane....

Every time we say goodbye....

PH

If only

msg - save yourself

On the way to work I dusted off The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest. Classic hip hop from my high school days.

Doesn't get any better than this. Perfection.

"Travels" the live album by the Pat Metheny Group. My favorite guitarist and keyboard player in the same band... phenomenal musicians. The live version of "Are You Going With Me?" is hauntingly beautiful with its Bolero-like building of intensity... leaves me breathless every time.

If I had a couple wishes granted to me one of them would be to play the piano like Lyle Mays does.

Kind of ashamed to admit it but I only have one Coltrane CD - "My Favorite Things," which I love.

I'd like to expand my collection... what would you suggest as the first Coltrane CD's to get, PH?

Reckoning - REM

Twins vs Angels.

NPR this morning (as usual). Switched it up to some Jazz, then Manu Chao, then Pink Floyd to end my work day...

Good transition to coming home to unwind!

Lots of college students work for me, and some of their music is infectious:

Arcade Fire (great stuff)
Spoon
Dropkick Murphys

Stravinsky - Scherzo a la Russe

Murray Head - One Night in Bangkok

and, due to the other thread on the song of the day, just finished "Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove" by Dead Can Dance

Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Possess Your Heart

Here's one I like called Don't You Evah

Right this moment I am listening to Mojo Rib. Great stuff Tbird. I am channeling Aerosmith.

The sound of a creaking door, and Turkish television.
