Author Topic: What are you listening to... Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-23-2010 04:07 PM                     I dug out some old Beatles cd's and have been listening to them for the past two weeks in my car. Usually I listen to AOL Radio on my computer at my desk. My favorite station right now is the 90's Alternative.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-23-2010 04:59 PM                        I'm a Jack Benny fan, so I just got a newly released collection of his shows from RadioSpirits.com, so I've been listening to those in my vehicle since Monday.  |  IP: Logged Chad Souder Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 962 From: Waterloo, IA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 09-23-2010 07:08 PM                     Pravin - on the Weezer/Barielles I am an XM listener and currently love Mumford and Sons "Little Lion Man" and Metric "Black Sheep" (from Scott Pilgrim) The 4 CD's I have in my truck are by: Pixies Dropkick Murphys Weezer Talking Heads Slightly off topic, I have to give credit to Usher or whomever it was that came up with the great marketing idea to get people to buy CDs again. In the Justin Bieber CD, you can find a gold ticket that will win you a private concert at your house. I guarantee teenage girls are buying those CDs instead of just downloading his crap.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 09-23-2010 11:51 PM                     Massive Attack. I've also been listening to my Edith Piaf station on Pandora a lot lately.

Sure, its Artificial Intelligence that can pick out cuts that have the same feel as the songs and artists that I tell it I like, but I am now convinced in my cynical old age that there must be some corporate conspiracy going on with the record companies and the owners of the Pandora site because every so often they stick in cuts that couldn't possibly have any relationship to the music types I've input. I've input Edith Piaf as well as you Aaron, and with that kind of music style, how they can they possibly come up with hip-hop tunes added to my list is just weird? And if you have used up all your "thumbs down" regection of songs they add -- they give you about 5 or so rejects -- and after that you can't stop what's playing. You have to leave the site completely to get some crapy song that you never picked to stop playing. Pain in the arse In fact, all of a sudden, in the middle of the summer for some reason they started injecting Christmas music cuts. Now that is not a corporate conspiracy but just Artificial Stupidity. Plus, I don't like the idea that I can't replay a song I really like.  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-24-2010 02:47 AM                     For any of you drummers out there, check out this set. It is Chet Hargers from Chet and the Molesters. When these guys get onstage, they come to rock  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 09-25-2010 02:05 AM                     Luckily, my Piaf station has not been corrupted. I get a solid diet of her, Ella, Billie Holiday, and some other great vocalists. The only weirdness I tend to get on it is Ray Charles. Although I like him, I don't really want his stuff on my Piaf station.

Even rap "music" would be better than this.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 09-26-2010 03:49 PM                     I've been in a Rush mood ever since watching the great new documentary, "Beyond The Lighted Stage." I'm going through each album one by one in original release order. Currently listening to "Hemispheres."  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-26-2010 08:49 PM                        Brad, how do you get so lucky that every plane you're on is populated with screaming babies? Well, a screaming baby on a plane = one less in a theatre somewhere.  |  IP: Logged Joe Tommassello Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 547 From: Coatesville, PA, USA Registered: Jan 2008 posted 09-27-2010 01:19 PM                  "F*** You" by Cee Lo Green. Video of the year material.

Nice to see Cee Lo still doing Gnarls Barkley type videos.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-29-2010 02:13 PM                     That Cee Lo Green tune is both vulgar and catchy. "I'll buy that for a dollar." And I just did. Guess I'll fire up Ringdroid and make a ringtone out of it.  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-30-2010 02:08 PM                     Found an old online artical from the local Evansville newspaper. DejaVu , it's got a few original songs on there. Rick  |  IP: Logged
