Yeah, I know this has been done to death on other sites, so hear me out. I could care less about the Hoffman forum diatribes of musical greatness and shit like that. I frequently read the "What Are You Listening To" thread here and many other threads to see what's out there and get a feel for what many of you truly love in music. If nothing else, we get a good sense of where you are coming from musically. I figure a top five list would underscore that, and, hopefully, people find some new music to listen to. What do my favorite albums have in common? Melody, energy, dynamics, and catchy as hell riffs/choruses/solos. I have to have something to hum in my hea…

Was just looking at the Late Night TV listings on interbridge.com and would have never caught this otherwise. Had no idea Tricky had a new album coming out next week. Could be cool I guess. For the unitiated, this is the Tricky that was with Massive Attack on Blue Lines and Protection.

Not sure if this has discussed elsewhere, but Jack White's on sale tomorrow. iUsers: Jack White's triple-decker LP | The Audiophiliac - CNET News

Digital Music Streaming Startup tunesBag Releases Desktop Application It looks interesting and I signed up for an account but haven't loaded anything on yet. Gotta wonder about the legality of this though. I suppose if you really want to have a streaming music server of your files it's safer to DIY it and stay off the radar.

Oh don't freak out, I'm talking about music. As many seem to do as they get a bit older, I seem to be getting a bit stale as to new artists. I thought a thread where people could toss out some recommendations might be handy. As for my musical taste... as far as genres, nothing's really off the table. I'm not a big fan of Rap, but there are exceptions of coarse. I think the Bluegrass-Rap that opens up the series Justified is brilliant. I love, love, love great female vocalist. Alison Krauss, Nora Jones, Alison Moyet, Billie Holiday etc... I also love great male vocalist. Buble, Brian Ferry, Tony Hadley, Freddie Mercury, Ray Price etc... I like Jazz, …

Wow, for one reason or another I never ripped this album to my ipod .. so I haven't listened to it for at least 5-6 years... just popped it in and am grooving to it. I remember when I bought it when it first came out and was at a friend's house. I put it in the cd player to just "preview it" before we went out and was immediately floored enough to just lay on his apartment floor and listen to the whole thing through. They all left without me, but I didn't care, I was immersed in the music. </random pointless story>

This may be old news for some of you, but I just listened to this guy for the first time, Jeebus! He sounds like an orchestra. Enjoy http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=829401773913198414

Meet Viktoriya Yermolyeva: Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktoriya_Yermolyeva Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/vkgoeswild Webpage: http://www.vkgoeswild.com/ I have been playing this nonstop: If you like piano and rock/metal, you will LOVE her.

So what new releases are you excited about? Me: I really, really dug their last two releases, Polarity and Vertical Theory, though I doubt this will be anything like that, based on the description. But I'll love 'em whatever they do.

I thought this article was pretty interesting, where US artists want to receive royalties for their songs being played on the radio. Here is the beginning of the article: Not sure how to feel about this one. What do you guys think? Should artists be getting royalties for their song being played on the radio? Artists want royalties for song being played on the radio

Do you guys still find bargains on used music? After spending a while in NYC and Boston it seems most places priced the good stuff at Ebay or higher prices. And the local stores in my area now basically stock crap that has a nice fine line of dust on it. I think I'm going to all the wrong places

I'm a huge fan. Own every one old and new, vinyl and CD. But the more I listen to "Back on Top" can't stop thinking to me its the the best record hes made. That's among 5-6 killers. If your out and about and see the CD used, grab it! The slow ballads are freaking killer. Listening now, track 5, when the leaves come falling down. GREAT MUSIC!!

So a few days ago I was leafing through Guitar Player at the local library when I came across a short article on Wolfgang's Vault. It's a site which has a ton of cool memorabilia, but that's besides the point, it's the home of Vault Radio which has turned out to be the best internet radio station I've ever come across. The playlist has tons of songs from live concerts by Albert King, Hendrix, Jeff Beck, The Band, and many other rock artists from the 60's & 70's. Been listening to it ever since I found it.

I've read that teaching is very important to her and that she didn't want to tour to finish school, but this is crazy coming weeks after the release of Illumination. The album has the band poised for some success considering it's their most accessible album IMO. I'll be curious to see what becomes of the band without her and Morten, and if she'll go on to do something on her own or with others. I figured it was worth mentioning here with how many spins Illumination has gotten recently. [edit] News from here [/edit]

Vic Chesnutt in a coma - Americana and roots music - No Depression word is that it doesn't look good. a real fucking shame if he doesn't pull through. I saw him play with Widespread Panic NYE in Atlanta, 2001. I had no idea who he was and it was amazing. I have been a fan ever since.

Please post any interesting music or performance videos. I'll start with... [url=http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/astonishing_performance_by_a_venezuelan_youth_orchestra_1.html]Gustavo Dudamel leads El Sistema's Teresa Carre

I'm in Baltimore at the moment and tomorrow (this, actually) morning, I may have a couple hours free. Anybody know of a good record store in the Inner Harbor area?

In case anyone's interested, I've posted a recording of myself performing on violin... Lovers' Waltz by Jay Ungar.

So I'm buying some stuff on amazon and this little gem catches my attention: Because hey, isn't that my main man, my favorite post-punker, the living representation of everything that makes music GOOD, mr Mark E. Smith of The Fall? And who are those other two cats with him? According to the blurb: "This is the debut by a trio formed by Mark E. Smith of The Fall along with Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner of Mouse On Mars. It combines the genre-smashing attack of early millennia club music with Smith's free-associating visionary wordplay. The riffs and rhythms come together from many different places, with synths, samplers, and sequencers all firing off. It's not a b…
