Haven't listened to this in a while - an obscure band called Baka Beyond.

An interesting mix of African and Celtic music. Saw them at Epcot a few years ago and really enjoyed the mini-concert they put on.

The Static Age - Amphibian

Awesome music.. hard to explain but its a group that has influences from the 80's and 90's (The Cure, The Police, etc.) but puts a contemporary twist.

Heres a comment about them from AMP magazine:

"Holy Sh!t, everyone who likes anything, ranging from THE CURE to THE POLICE to COMMUNIQUE to AFI needs to get this CD. I mean it."-- AMP MAGAZINE

Hard hitting rock song. Just found out about them and this first song hooked me. lol.. I can't get over the fact the female lead sounds like a very angry Avril Levine :lol: :roll:

Everytime I pop on this board I end up flicking over to the LiT soundtrack.

Lately I've been religiously listening to the new Tool CD Ten Thousand Days. This release is the event of the last 5 years for me. Strongly recommended. Spinning in the player right now is Wings For Marie

Right now, a little Clash.

Recently, though, I've been listening to Scott Walker's "The Drift", the Futureheads, and the new Thom Yorke "solo" album.

Oh, I love it. It's one of the most affirming movies I've ever seen. Even when I disagree with the philosophical content (or just plain don't understand it), it feels so overwhelmingly alive.

That said, I can understand why certain people don't like. I'm assuming you're a fan?

Well, I finally see the big deal about the shuffle option on the iPod. I put together a playlsit of about 150 songs (over 10 hours) for a party we're having this Saturday. And while I put the songs in a predetermined order (which was rather time consuming) I've been listening to the list in "shuffle" mode - which is essentailly like a radio station with no commercials that only plays the songs you like.

Now I have some complaints about the limitations of the iTunes/iPod playlist feature - I'd like it to be able to make a playlist of playlists - and then shuffle within those. For example - the first 3 hours of the party (starts at 1) I have jazz and a few new age songs for background. Then I go into a mix of 60s, and light rock, and classic rock - but I don[t want that totally random either. I'd like it to do 2 of each list, then keep cycling.

Oh well - maybe a future version of the OS will do that.

Or maybe in the future you will have the stick surgically removed from your backside and let random be random. :wink:

Statisticians... :roll: :P :lol:

Hope you got some Norah Jones in there, she has some great background, jazzy, stuff on her debut album.

Lately I've been listening most of the time to two online radio stations.

One is http://sky.fm, especially the smooth jazz channel - love the music there.

Another one is a Hungarian station named Tilos radio - located at http://www.tilos.hu. I do not understand them at all - Hungarian is a pretty strange language, even for me - but the music tends to be excellent at times, especially mornings, evenings, and Sundays - like today, they played I think two hours of folksy-sounding obscure string music non-stop. They play a lot of experimental tracks and music that is definitely not mainstream - a good listen.
