The play list

[rogatny]

The wife and kids are out of town...

That means it's time to drink enough to get a little buzzed, turn up the radio way too loud, and stay up way too late doing something completely geeky like play Civ III or work on one of my many D&D projects...

I've got the mp3 player on random shuffle...

The first ten songs...

S.A.T.O. - Ozzy
Rub 'til It Bleeds - PJ Harvey
Valerie Loves Me - Material Issue
Ah! Leah! - Donnie Iris
Suzy Don't Leave - The Go
Losing All - Down
Help You Ann - The Lyres
Final Solution - Pere Ubu
Human Fly - The Cramps
I Live for Buzz - The Swingin' Neakbreakers

10 year cask strength Laphroiag in my belly! Therion's odd Wagner-Metal on the headphones. Everything seems better now...

And after a bit o' work, I'll play with my new Wacom tablet.

MAterial Issue! Wow, there is an obscure one. I saw them at my Freshman Homecoming Dance when I first started college in 1990. Great show. I haven't thought of them in years.

Except for Ozzy and The Cramps, I haven't heard of single one of them.

Anyone seen my walker? I know I left it here somewhere.

Then, I bet you were from the Chicago-land area.

I think The Go is the only song less than 10 years old on the list.

Down is a Pantera/Corrossion of Conformity/Crowbar side project. (I suppose, it's not a Pantera side project anymore... .) Their first album was called NOLA, which is where all the members of the band are from. So I'm kind of surprised you haven't heard of them. Their third album, the first post-Katrina, should be out early next year. Unfortunately, as a side project that I like better than any of the members' full-time gigs (although I really do like some C.O.C.), they only put out an album about once every five years.

I'm at 50%: I know Ozzy, PJ Harvey, Material Issue, Pere Ubu, and The Cramps. All the others I had to look up on All Music Guide.

I don't have an mp3 player, so I rely on old-fashioned plastic disks (both analog and digital), supplemented by the radio, for my music. Every day I bring about a half dozen CDs with me to work (though I usually only listen to at most 1 or 2 of them). Today's batch:

Marie Antoinette - Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack
Zero 7 - The Garden
Goldfrapp - Supernature (very ambivalent about the heavy use of "Fly Me Away" in Target ads )
The Sounds - Dying to Say This To You
The Very Best of Nancy Sinatra (Australian import -- 19 great songs from the 60s, plus 2 terrible ones from the 00s, including a cover of Kasey Chambers' "Barricades & Brickwalls" that's an obvious pander to the Aussie audience)

Why would one listen to rock noise when one could be listening to Gregorian chant?

Pantera, I'd heard of them, but Down? No.

I kinda started losing track of music around the mid-80's. I really didn't like what started happening to heavy metal since about 1980, but there have been bits of other pop/rock/underground sounds I've enjoyed over the years. Back In Black ('81) was probably the last hard rock/heavy metal album I purchased, and likely the last. I view it as the period at the end of the sentence. Everything after that, while occassionally entertaining, is merely a shadow. Don't even ask my opinion of any music of the past 5 years.

I am become my parents.

Or Ludwig Van, goodly droog.

LOL. I'm much worse than my parents. They're still stuck in the 1960s and -70s.

Oh yeah.. stuck in the 70s. Yeah, that is lame. Ha ha .. ha. <whistles innocently>

Ha, no, what I mean is that my musical tastes, in general, go back much further.
