What are you listening to in your car?

[Harry]

Or on the bus or subway?

Yeah, we have a couple of threads about this but they've all become video threads. Yeah, I'm the worst offender, but... I'd like to see lists, current ones. Who you are listening to when you're heading to work or recreation, walking, biking, driving, what all. In my case, this is a pretty different list of albums and artists that what I listen to at home, reading or making models or surfing. Not necessarily radically different, but different all the same.

Another thing about my car list is that these are records that I went and bought, albums I might have acquired in a naughty way the first time around, but thought enough of the work to go out and pay for it. Again, something that gives another twist to the list. I'm not sure how that will translate for those of you who pick up tunes off I-Tunes, but give it a shot.

Lists, not vids this time around. As much as I love the Youtube revolution, it sometimes gets in the way. I've shared most of these folks here already myself. It's my current "hot list", even if some titles are old. I want to see what everyone else's is, and the travel version, not home. You may listen to the Carpenters, classical or heavy dance music at home, but that doesn't always play well in the car or subway.

I went out a little bit ago and made a list of all the cds I've got handy to pop into the deck in the car. Yeah, I'm old-fashioned. I'm sure everyone else has their little ear-pod things. But here's my current list:

John Wesley Harding's New Deal
Fistful of Mercy - s/t
Liam Finn - I'll Be Lightning
Peter Holsapple/Chris Stamey - hERE aND nOW
Joe Jackson - Look Sharp!
The Beatles - Revolver
Big Star - #1 Record/Radio City combo
Crowded House - Time on Earth
Crowded House - Intriguer
Ruthie Foster - The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Mojo

You remind me that I've got too much in the car, so I've dragged them out and am weeding stuff out. Some of it I put in to audition, decided I didn't like it that much, or it's too wiggy for driving, so it's being retired.

I have alot of electronic music and jazz with the occasional classical cd thrown in.

Here's a truncated list:
Fabric 18 Baby Mammoth, Beige & Solid Doctor
Fabriclive 33 Spank Rock
Fabriclive 34 Krafty Kuts
Tito Puente Best of the Concord Years
Art Pepper, The Artistry of Pepper
Aimee Mann @#%&x! Smilers
Daft Punk, Discovery
Thelonious Monk Quartet w/John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall
Bud Powell, Complete Blue Note & Roost Recordings
Dexter Gordon, Go
Beatles: Revolver/Magical Mystery Tour
Hybrid: Wide Angle, Morning SciFi, I choose noise
Mylo: Destroy Rock n Roll
Goo Goo Dolls, Gutterflower
Fila Brazillia, The Life and Times of Phoebus Brumal

If that list doesn't make your eyes glaze over, I don't know what will.

[Harry]

There are some very good ones there. I can certainly dig those particular jazz artists as driving music. There are some I can't picture, but those I can. Couple of artists I don't know, but I'll look them up.

And I don't think I've mentioned this lately, but Aimee Mann is a goddess. I bumped into her once, right after "Whatever" came out. :swoon:

[shiningbrow]

I have you to thank for that Aimee Mann album, Harry. I'd never heard of her before one of your posts, maybe in your Hootenany thread? I sent a copy of that album to a friend of mine for Christmas and she also fell in love with her.

I tend to put my Ipod to shuffle, but to list all what's on there seems a bit meaningless. I took a look on last.fm what albums I've listened most to the last three months in order to get any kind of tendencies, not just what randomly came on the last week:

Devin Townsend - Ziltoid the Omiscient
Mogwai - Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will
Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
Pascal - Galgberget
Gorillaz - D-Sides
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
Ali Project - Aristocracy
Mogwai - Come On Die Young
John Parish & Polly Jean Harvey - Dance Hall at Louse Point
Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain
Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Kyuss - ...And the Circus Leaves Town
God Is an Astronaut - All Is Violent, All Is Bright
Wanda Jackson - Wanda Jackson
The Apple Miner Colony - The Heat Haunted Fever

[Kastil]

Whatever Octane plays. Though I have been listening to the new Dropkick Murphys album too.

[Mr SmokeTooMuch]

My Ipod is on Manassas - Pieces.

Today at work I listened to Bob (at Budokan) and with The Band (Before the Flood), followed by some Nick Cave.

Currently ripping & listening to Bruce Springsteen & The E-Streetband (live 75-85).

As I will see Cake on Sunday, I'll make my colleagues jealous by taking a couple of their albums to work to play, probably together with some Low Anthem to start the day with, while the colleagues won't be in yet.

[Xavier Lang]

I have this program on my phone called Pandora. I listen to whatever it manages to play. As I drive through the city I usually lose parts of 1 or 2 songs, have the player stop for an unknown reason, etc....

My Ipod is on Manassas - Pieces.

You - rock. That group is the shiznit. There was a period of time there in the 80s, 90s, when I thought I was the only person on the planet who still listened to Manassas. Then I met a hive of hippies the world had passed by and I knew I was no longer alone.

Got recommend by my FLRS when I asked about the Buffalo Springfield, somewhere in the 80s or early 90s. Same guy thought that I was into reggea all of a sudden; I've been coming there for 20 years, but it seems I've got a double in town (or he's Mr DrinkTooMuch) ... one of these days I'll get me a yellow-green-red hat and walk into the store ...
