Hello Mago,

We have several, there is a main event, a big old affair that I always avoid, then there are departmental celebrations, which I also avoid, and many minor sub-group type hooleys, and yes, I never go to those either.

I see enough of these people all day without having to break bread with them as well.

12550. iiibbb - 12/7/2004 3:50:40 PM

Yes... one of Beck's should be in the top 10... that guy is a genius.

12551. iiibbb - 12/7/2004 3:51:12 PM

My top 10 probably contains more than 10 :)

12552. Ms. No - 12/7/2004 5:58:35 PM

Mac,

As usual I just want to copy your entire music collection.

Lemme see what I've got in the rotation lately:


The Clash - Train in Vain
Earth Wind & Fire - Got to Get You Into My Life
Bowie - Golden Years
The Smiths - How Soon is Now
The Police - Bring on the Night
Zappa - Dirty Love
Crowded House - Don't Dream it's Over
Emmylou Harris - Red Dirt Girls
Joan Osbourne - Poison Apples
Bauhaus - The Passion of Lovers is for Death (techno remix)
The Damned - Alone Again Or
Lowell George - Easy Money
Franz Ferdinand - 40
Fiona Apple - You're All I Need
U2 - New Year's Day


Man, that's kind of a strange list. Generally I do things like put a bunch of 70's horn bands together or make an all 80's goth or new wave list or all chick-singers or all Zappa or folk. This is just bizarre looking.


12553. wabbit - 12/7/2004 6:22:13 PM

Hmmm.

Les Dudek - What A Sacrifice
Tom Waits - Goin' Out West
Cracker - Low
Basement Jaxx - Where's your Head At
Gavin Rossdale - Adrenaline
Muddy Waters - I'm a Man
Booker T and the MG's - Green Onions
Tracy Bonham - Mother Mother
Whistling Elves - We're Having a Dot Com Christmas
Susan Tedeschi - Ain't Nobody's Business
Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody
Jay Z & DJ Danger Mouse - December4th
Gene Krupa w/ Anita O'Day - Opus One
Where is iiibbb's list?

12554. Ms. No - 12/7/2004 7:19:47 PM

Ooh! Good stuff Wabbit!!

12555. iiibbb - 12/7/2004 7:35:53 PM

It's almost overwhelming to try to think up a list. I'd have to give it a lot of thought before I'd commit to my 'favorites'.

12556. wabbit - 12/7/2004 7:41:27 PM

Oh, these aren't my "favorites", just what I've listened to in the last day on this computer. I have many many more tunes on a different machine. My favorites would be a changing-daily list anyway.

12557. iiibbb - 12/7/2004 7:50:36 PM

what I listen to every day is WNCW... you can listen online if you like. It's great station, NPR, no ads, folk bluegrass rootsrock rock blues...

... it's awesome.

12558. Ms. No - 12/7/2004 7:55:43 PM

radioparadise is another good webstation. My list also not my top ten --- just what happens to be in my WinAmp rotation at the moment

12559. alistairConnor - 12/7/2004 8:55:04 PM

I tend to listen to entire albums more, but here's a representative sample of current listening :

XTC - Making plans for Nigel
Tom Tom Club - L'éléphant
White Stripes - There's no home for you here
That Petrol Emotion - Stories of the street
Grace Jones - Walking in the rain
Pergolesi - Stabat Mater
The Pogues - Young Ned of the hill
James Brown - Papa's got a brand new bag
The Smiths - The boy with a thorn in his side
John Lee Hooker - Moanin' blues

12560. Ms. No - 12/7/2004 9:01:40 PM

Okay, when we're all stranded on a deserted island together everybody remember to bring your record collections.

12561. alistairConnor - 12/7/2004 9:07:45 PM

And if we forget. We can sing them to each other. And beat rocks together.

12562. Magoseph - 12/7/2004 9:41:40 PM

I won't beat rocks since I'm tone-deaf, but I'll be your girl Friday, Ali.

12563. Ms. No - 12/7/2004 11:07:39 PM

AC,

We could have our own choir. I can't now remember the name of the acapella group that sings the music as well --- this is different than the Persuasions. I remember seeing them years ago on PBS singing the Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer", it was really incredible.

12564. wabbit - 12/7/2004 11:26:12 PM

The Bobs

12565. alistairConnor - 12/7/2004 11:49:00 PM

I think I'm going to score a couple of songs for the choir, S-A-T-B, just as soon as I get some time... and appropriate software (anyone got any recommendations?)

Current candidates are : "Siffler sur la colline" by Joe Dassin (I'm sure you know it Mago) and "If I fell" by the beatles - I bought a Kings Singers score of that, but thought it was really horrible. I want to do an arrangement that's close to the original.

12566. iiibbb - 12/8/2004 12:39:07 AM

Anyone ever heard of "The Shaggs"?

12567. iiibbb - 12/8/2004 1:40:53 AM

Why women live longer

12568. Absensia - 12/8/2004 1:52:47 AM

Whatever happened to the list of Christmas shopping resources we did last year? There's a place that was in there that I can't find in my bookmarks and I NEED it!
