From the Phila. Daily News:

Love it.

I'm planning on picking up the new Franz Ferdinand and Depeche Mode CDs shortly. Right now, the songs I have stuck in my head are the two new tracks on the greatest-hits CD from Eurythmics, "The Ultimate Collection," due out next month.

2 songs I just downloaded

Audioslave- Doesnt Remind Me
Foo Fighters- Best Of You

Grohl and Cornell are still doing great work
Both Great Songs

Definately. I picked up both of the CDs over the summer and I suggest you do the same if you like those songs. Especially Foo Fighters, In You Honor is dual disk (one acoustic, one electric) and both are awesome.

Broken Social Scene- s/t

John Vanderslice- Pixel Revolt

Devendra Banhart- Cripple Crow

Sufjan Stevens- Illinois

Trouble in Shangri La by Stevie Nicks. I just love her. I saw her in concert this summer and she was phenomenal (sp?).

I particularly like Trouble in Shangri La, Too Far From Texas, Fall From Grace, and Love Is. Give them a listen if you get a chance.

I need to look for that video to "Doesnt Remind Me" someone said the video was great. I dont know where you watch videos anymore though, I think MTV just shows reality shows now, but Im going to look online. I heard its about a kid who's dad is in Iraq, not what I would have thought the song was about at first, but it makes sense I guess. This song is so catchy though its driving me crazy.

I found it
Here it is.

Two CDs that came out today that I can heartily recommend: the new Depeche Mode, and the new RevRun (without DMC). I've only heard parts of the new Stevie Wonder - it sounded pleasant, but I'll have to hear more before I decide if I should get it or not.

Hey, no one's mentioned the new Ashlee Simpson album...?

Thanks to you, Bobby, we went and bought it last week. What a great album. Almost as good as "Twentysomething." BTW, did you catch his profile on CBS Sunday Morning yesterday? Very interesting.

OH MY GOSH! No, I didn't see it. Crap. What did I miss?

I think what makes this a better cd than TWENTYSOMETHING is that Jamie did much fewer covers and more original music...all of which he has a writing credit.

Stella Star / Harmonies for the Haunted

Bobby, the CBS piece explored his very early years, how he taught himself to play piano and also there was a small bit about his brother, Ben. Rather lengthy considering how short most things of this type usually are. I was surprised to learn he's 26; somehow I had figured him to be much younger. Sorry you missed it.

There's a CD out tomorrow by a band called (so help me) Goblin Cock. Either it's a big joke, ur the world finally got a gay heavy metal band.

The, um, polite version of the CD cover.



LXN

What, you've never heard of Pink Stëël?

Well, yes, there's them. There's also Maris the Great and the Faggots of Death as well. But I can't even say "Goblin Cock" without giggling.

LXN

Been listening to alot of acoustic lately-Neil Young's latest "Prarie Wind" (which has prompted me to pull out "harvest Moon" one of my all-time favs) and Jackson Browne's new acoustic album. Both are terrific.

Right now in my CD player, After Forever's last album called Remagine. I didn't like it very much at the beginning, but it's grown on me. It's not better than their last album (Invisible Circles), but it's still a very good metal album.

I wish people here would get into those european bands, because there's some damn good music being played there. It kicks the crap out of all the rap/nu metal we get here.

Speaking of mash-ups

"Flashing for money" - Deep Dish's "Flashdance" vs. Dire Straits "Money for Nothing"

the new CD by Paul Van Dkye great cd really enjoy it and the new Alicia Keys is good too!

Isn't the new Alicia Keys the old Alicia Keys, just unplugged?

I've really been enjoying the new Franz Ferdinand, but I keep switching back and forth to the classic: Disintegration from The Cure.

yes it is Keith with a couple of new songs

[ November 05, 2005, 12:23 PM: Message edited by: sonicmangododgecharger ]

I'm not all THAT old (42) but I have some vintage tastes. In last night's rotation:

Al Green: "Call Me"
Muddy Waters: "Hard Again"
David Bowie "Hunky Dory"
Van Morrison: "Magic Time"
Steve Earle: "Jerusalem"

Whew, maybe I AM old (especially considering those first three)...

Thanks for this review. I got it Saturday, and I like it. Number seven and 12 (the Spanish version of number 7) rock. I also like the pictures of Ricky. He looks really good with the stubble.

MDG sent me two awesome CDs he made for me. One of dance music and the other of mashed up songs. I really like the mash up of Britney Spears' "Hit Me Baby One More Time." The Salsa version of it is wonderful!!!

Thank you MDG!! I LOVE IT!!

I listen to a lot of Rock, Hard Rock, Metal. CDs I'm really digging right now.

Breaking Benjamin (anything by them, my fav. band)
Throwdown - Vendetta
10 Years - The Autumn Effect
Cold - A Different Kind of Pain
All That Remains - This Darkened Heart
30 Seconds to Mars - A Beautiful Lie
Five.Bolt.Main - Venting
Sevendust - Next
Ra - Duality
Trapt - Someone In Control
Taproot - Blue Sky Research

I listen to a lot of music..what can I say? haha.

He's sent me a couple of mash-up compilations, so I also have to thank him! I am fascinated by some of these mash-ups. It's amazing that someone thinks to put these songs together.

You're welcome and You're welcome.

I had to send them off to both of you at the same time otherwise if one of you received the cd and the other didn't, there would have been name calling, hair pulling ...uh check that, scratching each other's eyes out and just plain nastiness

Although, I should have waited another week because after I mailed the cd's off to you, I found some pretty good "Hung Up" mash-ups. Oh well, maybe I'll include it on MDG v3.

Travis does a great acoustic version of "Hit me Baby One More Time" It actually gives the song some creedence. I don't have a link but I have the CD single if anyone is interested.

Totally unexpected, but I really like a lot of songs on Tatu's new album "Dangerous and Moving"

On the J-pop front, I REALLY like Namie Amuro's "No" track off her "Queen of Hip-Pop" cd. Especially the "Shake your booty, move your body" part of the song.

On the Country front, Dierks Bentley can "Come A Little Closer" to me anytime, anywhere, anyhow!

Wow some of the musical tastes on here????? It's making me feel very OLD!

I agree. I haven't enjoyed an entire CD like theirs in a long time. I also haven't listened to it in weeks b/c I misplaced it. Aaarrrrgh!!!! :mad:

I'm gonna have to resort to limewire...Shhhh

The Smiths--"Singles". I love Morrissey!

"...and if a ten ton truck....kills the both of us....to die by your side, well the pleasure and privlidge is mine."

I love how he sings these morbid lyrics with such a happy peppy tune...

aka "Girlfriend in a Coma."

I remember Sandra Bernhard saying she likes to put on "Girlfriend in a Coma" and go dancing around her apartment. Definitely one of the (unintentionally) funniest songs ever recorded.

Just made a new SpinMix (my term) for my mp3 player to use for indoor cycling:

Warm-Up: Ride of the Valkyries - Wagner (great when on a steep, steep hill, too)
Dancin' With Myself - Billy Idol
Feel Good, Inc. - Gorillaz
Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson
I Touch Myself - Lenny B
These Words (Mix 5) - Natasha Bedingfield
There is a Light... - The Smiths
When Tomorrow Comes - Eurythmics
Mr. Brightside - Killers
Shoulda Been a Cowboy - Toby Keith
Cool-Down: Chariots of Fire - Van Gelis

just for the name itself

Dave McCullen - (I Just Like To Call You My) Bitch

it can be KWG and gamecock's new theme song for their new conquests.

[ November 13, 2005, 12:47 PM: Message edited by: Boltergeist ]

Some random bits n' bobs swirling through my airspace lately:

"What else is there?" (Jacques Lu Cont mix) - Röyksopp
"Let it die" - Feist
"Temptation" (Secret Machines remix) - New Order
"Starts off with a bang" - The Mobius Band
"Hung up" (radio edit) - Madonna
"Cruel" - Prefab Sprout
"Look on the floor (Hypnotic tango)" - Bananarama
"Look back in anger" - David Bowie
"Wedding" - Annie
"Mr. Brightside" (Lindbergh Palace radio edit) - The Killers
"Favorite things" - Negativland
"West of here" - Lotion

For the second and final time, I stood in line at Target downtown Minneapolis to get the Cities 97 Cities Sampler Volume 17. All of the proceeds go to various charities, including Camp Hearland, a camp for children affected by AIDS and HIV.

I think this song is my favorite off the CD.

[ November 15, 2005, 02:16 PM: Message edited by: Allen ]

Ok, I'm officially Hung Up on the new Madonna ... like the original

and then there's the Stewart Price Dub

tense, dark, just the song that when I'm out, it's business time on the dance floor ....

if Hung Up is the tip of the icebrg I look forward to a lot of Confessions on a dance floor

[ November 15, 2005, 09:50 PM: Message edited by: Boltergeist ]

I picked up Confessions on a dance floor on the way home. Two listens in, and...hmm. It's not doing all that much for me yet. Still has potential to be a grower, though, and it's already worlds better than the last one.

That said, it's funny that she sounds like she's taking cues from Kylie this time out. The student has surpassed the master!

I'm still trying to get through my CDs and weed out the one I don't think I'll ever listen to. The last few days have been Bee Gees, Beethoven, Belle & Sebastian, and now Pat Benatar. An odd quickie collection called "Best of Volume Two". Only ten tracks, but it's got most of my favorites: "Looking for a Stranger", "Precious Time", "We Live for Love". Unfortunately, it also has "Invincible".

LXN

Besides Madonna, these just arrived from Amazon: "Electric Blue," Andy Bell; "Playing The Angel," Depeche Mode; "You Could Have It So Much Better," Franz Ferdinand. "Crazy" from Andy Bell's album is in "repeat" mode on my stereo. wink The DM, on first listen, is a little lacking, which isn't to say it won't grow on me, but I liked "Exciter" immediately.

Jim, I love your list. Have you heard the "flipside" of "Look On The Floor" which is "Live In The Sun".

Give TaTu's latest a listen. There's some good Euro pop on that cd.

I love the sound of Anastacia's new track "Pieces of a Dream"

I just bought "Confessions..." so I'll listen to it on the ride home.

And "Climbing the Walls" and "I Still" are well crafted pop songs courtesy of the Backstreet Boys.

MDG Country Stuff playlist: "Coming To Your City": Big & Rich, "Must Be Doin' Something Right" by hunk Billy Currington, "(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden" - Martina McBride's remake of Lynn Anderson's classic hit and a couple of Gretchen Wilson's songs off her latest cd. I don't really fancy Garth's tribute to Chris LeDoux.

And I am also listening to a lot of J-pop princess Namie Amuro's songs. Her music is just mindless, melodic dance stuff reminiscent of Janet Jackson or J-Lo. Plus she's sexy as hell.

I'm loving Andy Bell's "Electric Blue." It's upbeat and danceable and addictive, but with an edge (at least compared to Erasure). It's only when I read the liner notes that I realize many of the songs are about one partner cheating on another. Leave it to Andy to make infidelity danceable.

after seeing them recently in concert, i've been listening alot to old anthrax albums.. u can't beat songs like A.I.R and "in my world".
