What are you listening to right now?

Yeah, it's not a bad pic of Simon.

As far as I know, it was taken around the time of the reunion / Astronaut tour. 2003/2004.

I've got a few of their cds, and I've got Astronaut on constant rotation in the car.

Interestingly enough, just as I began typing this "Shadows On Your Side" came on, so I'm listening to that right now.

...Fizzy.

Man Of Colours, Icehouse
loooove this album almost as much as my enz collection, apart from conflicting emotions

Aaah, now that's a good'un!!!

The song and the album!

...Fizzy, who is now listening to Thunder - "The Devil Made Me Do It" on YouTube.

Greatfox,love "Man of colours",my tape is a little worn right now as i have played it so much!!!
Fizzy,you have excellent taste,I love Durans new cd,although my alltime Duran cd is "Seven and the ragged tiger", i play it so much.
Were you able to see them in concert?
I missed them!!.same as first time around in the 80's!!!
Hoping to see them next year if they tour.
Listening to "Kick" right now,i never tire of that album.

Everyone Is Here

You are One Step Ahead of me - !

A cassette with One Nil on the A-side, Escapade on the B-side.
I made this cassette up because my fav CD player is tempremental in the Aussie Summer. If the room is hot, it refuses to play the CDs. The tracks jump and theres nothing more annoying during a great song.

If that means what I think it means, all that the cassette consists of is:
Songs from One Nil on one side & songs from Escapade on the other. Both of which follow the album orders of the tracks... give or take a few songs. Right now, one side runs longer than the other.

The Clash

I read about this, and wanted to get it...but holy cow - the price! Wasn't it $50 or so? That's steep. Is it worth the price?

edit: $50 seemed too low for me to have been outraged - so I went back to check - it's more like $100 isn't it (or more, if the US/NZ exchange rate is low that day)? That's really steep.

random stuff by The Whitlams...finally got a hold of some of their stuff after hearing about the band here on this post. I figure I out to check them out, since I have met Gough Whitlam! it's good stuff and funny! I love musicians with a sense of humor

Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar

Johnny Cash - American III Solitary Man

Split Enz - Frenzy (2006) and Time and Tide

Agreed Tracy. Best "holiday" album in years in my opinion. It emphasizes the two best things about Ms. M: the natural beauty of her voice and the ambient quality of her music (thanks largely to her producer, and fellow Canadian, Pierre Marchand).

"River" is a real stand-out for me. I was a little wary when I first saw it on the list of tracks as that song has been covered to death... by, for example, Allison Crowe, Aimee Mann, Travis, Linda Ronstadt, Robert Downey Jr, Michelle Branch, James Taylor (I read Joni Mitchell played it for him in her living room the day she wrote it), Holly Cole, The Rheostatics, etc. etc. I'm sure there's a complete list out there somewhere. Anyway, other than the original, Sarah's cover could just be the ultimate version of this song. It is simply beautiful.

I was looking on in amusement at my "travelling music" that I've got in my car. I'm in it 2 hours every work day. I've got these 9 titles on rotation:

1. The Beastie Boys: Solid Gold Hits
2. The Beatles: Rubber Soul
3. The Beatles: LOVE
4. Black Eyed Peas: Elephunk
5. Black Eyed Peas: Monkey Business
6. Eminem: Curtain Call
7. Guns N Roses: Greatest Hits
8. John Mellencamp: Words & Music: John Mellencamp's Greatest Hits
9. Octopus: Restless Night

A friend told me I was eclectic. This probably counts.

Family - Fearless

The Kinks - Arthur

You Am I - Hourly Daily

The Sharp - This Is The Sharp

The Storys' debut CD.

Sarah Blasko - both of her albums are good.

Tom Waits - Rain Dogs

McDonald and Giles - McDonald and Giles

David Bowie - Hunky Dory

Bread - Bread

Beck - Mutations

KT Tunstall

Finally got it! WOW! Lovin' it!

M. Ward -- Post-War

Chris Knox - Songs of You and Me

Murder By Death - Who Will Survive, And What Will Become of Them?

The Ride, by Joan As Police Woman. No really. It's amazing the career options available in todays modern police force.

& Love Is A Losing Game, by Amy Winehouse. Perhapse she has retired from the police force. I didn't like her when i first heard her, but it's amazing what a bit of radio airplay can do for a song.

Today's train commute was brought to you by Steve Albini (as a recording artist, not a producer)- specifically Shellac's 1000 Hurts and Big Black's Songs about F******.

The thing I love most about that Shellac CD is how it comes in a replica TDK tape reel box. I mean, who under the age of 35 even GETS that joke?

Phantom Limb, by The Shins. Yet another Pop gem unearthed by SubPop Records.

That & the sound of lawnmowers. It's a fine line between art & life. For a second there, those lawnmowers were sounding like Part Chimp! Mon dieu, eeeh eeeh eeeh. Just off to have a banana.

Ted Hawkins, bloody brilliant, so happy when I hopped in the car and the husband put it in the cd player, so when I backed out Green Eyed Girl came on, ahhhhhhh. Beautiful raspy voice, soft, feeling, love the man's work. Also downloaded a freebie of his with Billy Bragg live.
