Here's a thread where we can show off just how ultra-cool we are by spouting off names of bands that nobody's heard of.
Currently playing: Skerik's Syncopated Taint Septet- s/t
Previously playing : Minutmen- Double Nickles on the Dime
Up next: Jello Biafra & the Melvins- Never Breathe What You Can't See
I'm so non-trendy.
M@
I haven't thought about Jello Biafra in years. Now if I could only find my old CDs...
Trendy by talking about a CD player? That's ancient technology, man! Nevertheless, in my little CD case in my truck the following CD's are in heavy rotation:
Floodland (Sisters of Mercy)
Feedback (Rush)
Rush in Rio Live (Rush)
Brave New World (Iron Maiden)
American Recordings (Johnny Cash)
Security of Illusion (Saga)
Metalworks (Judas Priest)
The Mix (Kraftwerk)
I'm almost ashamed to admit that I have an "Ultimate Dance Party" compilation album in my CD player at the moment.
The one in my car is a bit of an eccentric mix of what used to be called "Alternative" and "Easy Listening"

Ummm...errr...I have an iPod, which I usually set on "Shuffle". With 3000+ songs, I get a really weird shuffle list. So what's been recently played is:
Marc Broussard - Home
KT Tunstall - Black Horse & Cherry Tree
Dr Demento - Dungeons & Dragons ("Where are the cheetos?!?!")
Stevie Wonder - Superstitious
Alicia Keys - Karma
Dimmu Borgir - Puritania

George Carlin - Seven Dirty Words
AC-DC - Who made Who
The Body Rockers - (I Like) The Way You Move (from the Diet Coke commercial, with the guy dancing in his apartment)
Orff - Carmina Burana - O Fortuna (played in so many fantasy movies I can't count them all, but I associate it with Excalibur)
Halo 2 soundtrack - Halo theme (Mjolnir mix)
Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata
So yes - I have an eclectic taste in music. :-D
|
In my truck my heavy rotation at the moment is

Monte Montgomery- Mirror
They Might Be Giants - Then (collected early works)
Warren Zevon - The Wind (his last album)
Reverand Horton Heat - Space Heater

XTC - Mayor of Simpleton
and the five coming up:
The Gourds - Gin and Juice (a bluegrass remix of the Snoop Dogg song)
Reverand Horton Heat - Folsom Prison Blues (cover of the Johnny Cash classic)
Gidon Kremer - Oblivion
Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta (I'm not sick, but I'm not well!)
Shriekback - Everything that Rises Must Converge
um, I have varied musical tastes as well...
Listening to my own playlist on windows media player...gotta make a new one soon it's getting old. It's ecclectic, but not nearly as ecclectic as Lilith. Btw, I envy you Lilith; I'd be a much happier man if I could stand to listen to half your tracks.
Does anyone use music to set the mood during a game session?

Does anyone use music to set the mood during a game session?
Yes. I have been doing that since the 1980s. Generally heavy metal with some Wagner and movie sound tracks thrown in for good measue.
Don't you know it's just like a rainbow in the dark? :-D
Oh yeah, Forgot one of my favorites..
All music by DIO. Holy Diver baby!
Ummm...errr...I have an iPod, which I usually set on "Shuffle". With 3000+ songs, I get a really weird shuffle list. So what's been recently played is:
Marc Broussard - Home
Marc Broussard? Cher, whatchoo doin' w/ my cousin in your Ipod? *G*
*EDIT* Well, cousin's cousin's cousin. (Lest I mislead anyone with my vague post. Laissez les bon temps roulez!)

For what it's worth, I adore Cajun food and anybody who talks with a Cajun accent. My mom used to work at the Acadiana in San Antonio and I had a huge crush on Gambit from the X-Men when I was a kid. :-P
Oh, and I make a mean pot of gumbo and a side of cornbread.
We've got the fire!
Stand up and shout!
:-D
Don't you know it's just like a rainbow in the dark?And we are the last in line.

She was straight from Hell
But you never could tellCause you were blinded by her light
She could crack your brain
With magic pain
And turn a paler shade of white
tell me that isn't a D&D player's lyrics (from gypsy on Holy Diver)
And find the Sacred Heart
Somewhere bleeding in the night
Oh look to the light
You fight to kill the dragon
And bargain with the beast
And sail into a sight
It warms the cockles to hear lyrics like that
Hey it's magic
Said the mother to the child
It's stronger than a smile
Let it go
When a woman cries
and one more:
My eyes could see the body shakin'
My eyes were clear and bright
Goodbyes are easy to remember
You can see the hurt still there in my eyes
Love Dio!
5'3" and a voice like that is something to see live!

When there's lightning - it always bring me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
I cry for magic - I feel it dancing in the light
But it was cold - I lost my hold
To the shadows of the night
I tend to use alot of Dio's lyrics as the verbal components for spells.
FH
Dio rocks!! (hold lighter up in the air)
Gods Yes! Ronnie James Dio is the man on the silver mountain ! Don't get me started...I've quoted from the patron saint of awesomeness in several threads on this site. Oh, it's too late...
"I've fallen off the edge of the world,
I've fallen from the top of the mountain
Just to rise again.
I've seen it from heaven and hell
I've seen it from the eyes of a staaaaaargazer.
I want to be invisible
Just get me out of here
Could the dreamer be turning to stone."
"There's perfect harmony
In the rising and the falling of the sea
And as we sail along
I never fail to be astounded by
The things we'll do for promises
and a song..."
and to rock a little from the re-formed sabbath...
"I am anger
Under pressure
Left in cages
A prisoner
The first to escape
I am wicked
I am legion
Strength in numbers
A lie
The number is one
I - I - I
Everything that I see is for me
Yes, I am giant
I'm a monster
Breaking windows
In houses
Buildings of glass
Rebel rebel
Holy outlaw
Ride together
Don't try it
The power's in one
I - I - I
I am standing alone
But I can rock you
I - I - I
On the edge of the blade
But the knife can't cut the hero down
I am virgin
I'm a whore
Giving nothing
The taker
The maker of war
I'll smash your face in
But with a smile
All together
You'll never
Be stronger than me
I - I - I
Right here on my own
But I still rock you
I - I - I
Don't follow behind
Just leave me on the outside
I - I - I
I am standing alone
But I can shock you
I - I - I
On the edge of the blade
But no one makes the hero bleed (No no no)
(No no no)
Ah, music...one of my favorite subjects.
The cds I have in my car today are:
Tenacious D: s/t
Thin Lizzy: Dedication (best of)
Mindless Self Indulgence: Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy
Led Zep: How the West was Won disc 2 and 3
Metallica: bootleg- The Heaviest Nights of Their Life
Gorillaz: s/t
Nick Drake: Bryter Layter and Pink Moon
Anthrax : Sound of White Noise
Iron Maiden: Dance of Death
and one that is in the car almost every day
King's X: Gretchen Goes to Nebraska
and some burned cds with a few songs by different artists
with Outkast "Bombs over Baghdad"/"Fish n Grits and all that Pimp S*!+" and Alkoholiks "Aww S*%#"
and Bad Religion "I want to Conquer the World"/"American Jesus"
and the songs from Team America "Montage"/"Everybody has AIDS"
some solo John Frusciante stuff and Triumph "Magic Power" and Alcatrazz "Wire and Wood" and the Darkness "Black Shuck".
Of course, this changes almost daily. Some days, I have Johnny Cash "Love", "God", and especially "Murder" in rotation.
Sometimes its KMFDM, Rammstein, and Turbonegro "Hobbit M-F'ers"
and some days it's Flogging Molly and Me First and the Gimme Gimmees. Or early AFI and early Thrice tunes (before they 'sold out') with some Bad Brains.
Somedays its all Queensryche, Tesla, Kix, Kiss...all night and party every day!
or japanese metal day with Loudness/Japan X/EZO/Luna Sea
or the 'weird' Alice Cooper (Be My Lover/Generation Landslide/Alma Mater/I Love the Dead) and Cake tunes for the day. Or a band that there is no way will print out here..."The Farking Champs" (not the real middle word, but you get the idea.
Sometimes, it will be just crazy covertune stuff like Skinny Puppy (heard their cover of Tainted Love?), Devo (cover of NIN's Head Like a Hole), Ozzy and Dweezil Zappa covering "Staying Alive"...All aboard the Disco train. whoohoo!
Some days its 'guitar god' day with Eddie Van Halen/Jake E Lee/Lynch/Malmsteen/Satriani/Vai/Rhodes/etcetcetc
Just got off a Misfits/Ramones kick last couple of weeks. Let's Go! I wanna be sedated.
I also love Tori Amos (Little Earthquakes/Under the Pink), and Aimee Mann (Whatever/Magnolia sndtrk)...sometimes those tunes are what I need while stuck in a traffic jam or when I am running late and need some yang (or is it yin?)
The one song that always picks me up, no matter how f'd up the day is...is Corrosion of Conformity's "Clean My Wounds".
I've fussed over this entry long enough, I know that I will think of a thousand bands or songs later and kick myself for looking 'cool' by mentioning them. grrrrrrrr.
\m/- Dio rocks -\m/ (givin out the 'devil fingers'...kind of)
Just got off a Misfits/Ramones kick last...
Ahh...the Ramones. I've been on a Ramones kick for a few weeks since I just got that End of the Century DVD. Good flick.
M@, Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment!
For what it's worth, I adore Cajun food and anybody who talks with a Cajun accent. My mom used to work at the Acadiana in San Antonio and I had a huge crush on Gambit from the X-Men when I was a kid. :-POh, and I make a mean pot of gumbo and a side of cornbread.
*laughs* Who /didn't/ have a crush on Gambit, mes ami? =)
I love it when people come over to my house and hear zydeco and smell the boudin - I don't have an accent, so oftentimes no one knows I'm Cajun (unless they see me talking with my hands *G*).
Back on topic, though...What's in my CD player?
Right now, it's _Conan the Barbarian_ and the 25th anniversary version of _Star Wars: A New Hope_. And _Braveheart_. =)
I've had The Pogues on repeat for a couple of days in the car cd player. The ipod has recently played such gems as the decemberists(picaresque), the police (message in a box), frank zappa (apostrophe), and alice cooper (welcome to my nightmare)

What is a CD player? ::sardonic grin::
Wow, Ronnie James...I had a poster of him up on the wall along with Twisted Sister, Accept and Iron Maiden circa 1985. Actually, Dio and Maiden are part of the "Gaming Tunes" mix on the iPod.
Actually, I do have some burned CDs in the car CD player when the iPod is left in the dock:
Sparks -- Hello Young Lovers
Bloodhound Gang -- Hefty Fine
Green Day -- American Idiot
Yuppie Pricks -- Broker's Banquet
The Aquabats -- Charge!!
The Toy Dolls -- Our Last Album?!
Jello Biafra has a fun cameo on "Broker's Banquet" mimicking George W. on the "Damn It Feels Good to Be a Yuppie", a sardonic remake of N.W.A.'s "classic" of similar naming convention though more "ethnic".
As for the iPod "Squishy" whose two-year warranty expired two days ago and thus will go up in flames any day now, it's last few tracks played on random out of the 10,000+ songs:
Cake's "Walk On By"
Toy Dolls' "My Baby Is a Battleaxe"
Buzzcocks' "You Say You Don't Love Me"
Tangerine Dream's "Sequent C'"
Presidents of the United States of America's "Twig"
Nirvana's "Dumb"
Rammstein's "Stripped"
Sparks' "Change"
The Cars' "Maybe Baby"
Just goes to show that gamers have as an ecclectic taste in music as most "intelligent" music lovers.
I currently listen to
Joachim Witt - Bayreuth 1
Skunk Anansie - Stoosh
Rammstein - assorted Tracks
Nightwish - all of it!
Subway to Sally - Hochzeit
Iommi - Iommi
Dio - Rare Diamonds
Therion - Vovin and Deggial
Metallica - S&M
(Yes, I´m several years behind recent trends, and I love symphonic metal. Witt and Subway are a german thing, so most of you probably don´t know these)
For gaming, I use Midnight Syndicate, currently the Battleship Galactica Soundtrack, the Carnivale Soundtrack ( I think it was Erik who pointed to this somewhere on this board - thank you).
I used the Sleepy Hollow Soundtrack and a Horror Soundtrack Compilation for my Hunter: the Gathering game last weekend.
Stefan
Music... Yay!
I've been on a big big BIG Fishbone kick lately. If you've never listend to Fishbone, you really need to fix that. Why they aren't bigger than the Beatles is beyond me...
But lately I've been into the following:
Hellogoodbye
Clutch
The Mopes
Hem
Lamb Of God
Pulp
Those have been my "go to" bands theis month. My wife is just happy to have me off my Sweet Baby kick. A little too saccarine for her tastes.
Neat answers!
One of my "Guitar God" mixes includes Hendrix (I have some of his acoustic stuff), Satriani (duh), Van Halen, Vai, Santana and Stevie Ray Vaughn. I actually have a tune called "Traffic Jam" that's a duet between Santana & Stevie Ray - it's just really damn awesome!
Love Santana, always always a good thing. Also have been really into Depeche Mode ("Personal Jesus", "It's No Good" and "Policy of Truth" are among my favorites) and some Sarah McLachlan remixes done by Delirium ("Silence" is among them).
ROCK ON EVERYBODY!
*spins iPod wheel to "Dio"*
Today is a Frank Zappa day. Lather, Lost Episodes, One Size Fits All, The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life, Waka Jawaka, and You Can't do That on Stage Anymore volumes 5 and 6 are in rotation on Windows Media Player.

Today is a Frank Zappa day.
Matt_the_dm, I could kiss you right on your wriggly-jiggly wormy covered lip remains!! I was just watching the old Crossfire from 1986 where Zappa was on discussing cencorship and morality. The man was a visionary both musically and socially.
The address: http://movies.crooksandliars.com/zappa_crossfire_1986.wmv (or .mov if you want it in quicktime)
Many happy Weasles Ripping your Flesh!
(sidenote: Crooks and Liars is a politically themed blog, but the address above should take you straght to the file.)
Floodland (Sisters of Mercy)
An excellent album (though I'm a little more partial to First and Last and Always.) They're playing here in Seattle the end of this month, gotta get me a ticket to the show.
As for my tunes:
Fields of the Nephilim - Dawnrazor
Severed Heads - Come Visit the Big Bigot (with Dead Eyes Open)
British Sea Power - The Decline Of...
- Chris Shadowens
Today is a Frank Zappa day. Lather, Lost Episodes, One Size Fits All, The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life, Waka Jawaka, and You Can't do That on Stage Anymore volumes 5 and 6 are in rotation on Windows Media Player.
I just want to say that 'Camarillo Brillo' may be the best song ever written.
No fooling.

Guitar Gods and no Gary Moore? Thats a shame.
Military Man
Papa take a look at your boy
He's a military man
Papa take a look at your boy
He's crying
Papa take a look at your boy
He's a soldier
Papa take a look in his eyes
They're colder
Papa take a look at your boy
He's a military man
Mama take a look at your boy
He's dying
Mama take a look at your boy
He's fighting
Mama take a look at your boy
He's frightened
They have trained your boy to kill
And kill someday he will
They have trained your boy to die
And ask no questions why
Papa take a look at your boy
Take a look at your boy
Take a look at your boy
He's a killer, yeah
Mama take a look at your boy
Take a look at him now
Take a look at your boy
He's a soldier, he's colder, he's older, mama
Mama take a look at your boy
Obey the order
Mama take a look at your boy
Like a lamb to the slaughter
They have trained your boy to kill
And kill someday he will
They have trained your boy to die
And ask no questions why
One day, I will write for you a lovesong mother
As the children say, I love you, please hold me
And you and I, we will live our life together
Until that day when we die, I will love you mother
I will always love you
I'am writing from this war
Oh mama, I don't know what I'm fighting for
And have you seen my children?
God bless them, kiss them
And tell them that I miss them
See I'm frightened in the dark
Mama, mama
The blood is ankle-deep
They have trained your boy to kill
And kill someday he will
They have trained your boy to die
Mama take a look at your boy
Take a look at him now
Take a look at your boy
He's marching
He's a soldier
Oh brother, oh mama
He's on the street
He's marching to the backbeat
Gary Moore was a diehard favorite for me for years and years. Very Steve Vai vibe but with great lyrics.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for obscure New Wave. And I'm looking to add to my collection. I need to get a hold of Prefab Sprout, Feargal Sharkey, The Undertones, Suicide, Au Pairs, Fad Gadget, and The Normal (amongst others).
While I'm tempted to spend the rest of the workday on this post, I'll settle for a quick rundown on what I'm listening to at this exact moment:
Killswitch Engage - End of Heartache and Alive or Just Breathing
Thrice - The Artist in the Ambulance
Coheed and Cambria - all three albums
Boysetsfire - Tomorrow Come Today
Alexisonfire - Watch Out!
36 Crazyfists - Bitterness the Star and Snow-Capped Romance
Atreyu - The Curse
Unearth - The Oncoming Storm
Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends and Where You Want To Be
Edguy - Hellfire Club
Funeral For A Friend - mix of the last three discs
Lostprophets - both discs
Saosin -Translating the Name
Thursday - War All The Time
ISIS - Panopticon
And just to mix things up:
Counting Crows - everything
Third Eye Blind - everything
Logh - Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings
Barenaked Ladies - Rock Spectacle
Of course, then there are the all-time favorites like AFI, Strung Out, The Offspring, K Through 6, Blue Sky Mile... the list goes on. On the few occasions when I've used music in a game, I enjoyed the Boondock Saints and Matrix soundtracks.
-James
(P.S: Bonus points to anyone who knows 50% or more of the bands on that first list. Metalcore = teh r0x0r.)
Hooray! Another Alexisonfire fan!
Actually, yay for your list. I think I'll snatch up those bonus points...

Well I shall date myself here but in the ipod in the car we are presently listening to on the CD changer
John Denvers Wildlife concert
Def Lepards greatest hits
Some Itialian chanting monks
Some Black Eyed Peas that my daughter left in the car
I know kind of lame but I have a 50 min drive to work and need calming music on the drive home.
Pay to Flay-
Party at Ground Zero. A 'B' movie starring you...And the world will turn to flowing Pink vapor stew!
You always win at Sorry
I always win at chess
Go get some percosets
Ha ha, ha ha
Careful with that mic,
**********************************************
Fake Healer-
Gary Moore, I put in with Lizzy / Grand Slam / Phil Lynott. "Little Darling" and "Sitamoia" and "Out in the Streets" and all the stuff he did on the "Black Rose" album...wow!
*********************************************
Hey Spyder...where did you get yer avatar name?
Who- greatist hits(behind blue eyes)- Boris the Spider! Yes!
Queen- a night at the opera- Find me Somebody to Love!
Enya- the celts- is this the one with the song 'lifted' by the Fugees, 'Boadicea', love that one!

"Love Missile F1-11" by Sigue Sigue Sputnik

BigBubba-
John Denver...fuhgeddabowdit! 'Annie's Song" is just friggin awesome! And that man was one of the warriors on the forefront of anti-censorship. Him, Zappa, and the SMF Dee Snider stood up to those crazy b$$*!es who put their senatorial husbands up to those shennanigans called the PMRC.

The instrumental music that plays in the background of the museum scene while they hold hands with the school children, Ferris and Sloane kiss beneath the stained glass, and Cameron stares into the painting is a cover of The Smiths "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want." The instrumental cover was done by The Dream Academy who had more fame with their one hit, "Life in a Northern Town."
The original Smiths' version was heard in another John Hughes flick, "Pretty in Pink," when Duckie was moping alone in his room.
Needless to say I have all versions of Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want: The Smiths original, Dream Academy Instrumental, and Dream Academy Vocal.

Here's a thread where we can show off just how ultra-cool we are by spouting off names of bands that nobody's heard of.
A perfect chance to share something I wrote for my blog, but never posted:
Top Albums of 2005
Serge Gainsbourg (L’Histoire de Melody Nelson)
Andy Votel (Folk is Not a Four Letter Word)
Scissor Sisters (Scissor Sisters)
Os Mutantes (Everything is Possible!)
Dungen (Ta det Lungt)
Birkin & Gainsbourg (Je T’Aime… Moi Non Plus)
Ween (Chocolate and Cheese)
Kings of Convenience (Riot on an Empty Street)
Neil Young (Decade)
Jean Claude Vannier (The Child Assassin of the Flies)
Right now the only stuff I'm still listening to from that list (composed in late December) is the Scissor Sisters (which gets retired next week), Dungen, and Ween. Neil Young is on extremely heavy rotation right now, but it's my first album of his. I listen to Gainsbourg pretty much every day. I feel like I can divide my musical life into two categories: Music I heard before "Melody Nelson" and music I've heard since.
I haven't bought any CDs in a couple of months, but I'm about to delve into a 2-disc compilation of Swedish psychedelic folk rock (a la Dungen) called "Who Will Buy these Wonderful Evils."
Who indeed?

'Shoot it up'
Whoops! Not 'Shoot it up' that IS Love MissileF1-11...I meant 'March of the Swivelheads' as the other soundtrack song I have. Man, why didn't they ever relesae an official soundtrack for this movie?
The original Smiths' version was heard in another John Hughes flick, "Pretty in Pink," when Duckie was moping alone in his room.
I did not know that.

I had to pinch myself and make a Will save to disbelieve all the Sigue Sigue Sputnik references. "Flaunt It" is in my Top 20 albums of my life. I wore that record out before the CD was finally released domestically (gawds, remember those days!?). Great list of songs Love Missile...err, Torpedo! A lot of those tracks are on the iPod already but I'll have to pursue some of the others to see if I remember them.
Great topic folks! I can endlessly talk music, gaming, football, forestry, and remote sensing. Yeah, I'm the life of the party. ::sardonic grin::

Football is a favorite topic of mine as well. I prefer college football over professional football, by a wide margin.
Music wise, I love classic metal, prog rock, bouncy New Wave, a little goth rock, classic country music within reason (Johnny Cash is pretty much it, plus some Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings....I loved the Highwaymen, what can I say) and some techno-industrial-computer generated dance stuff. I really wasn't a Johnny Cash fan until I met my wife-to-be and she dragged me to one of his concerts in 1997, right before he got sick and quit touring. I was hooked after that, that dude had Charisma to spare, and who doesn't like songs about shooting people that doesn't get the Christians or Cops all ridled up? (Just joking of course)
"Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone....
First time I shot her, I got her in the side,
hard to watch her suffer, so with the second shot she died,
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone...."
Remember the cop killer rap dust-up back in the 90's? The current hysteria about the video game 25 to Life teaching kids to kill police officers? If Johnny Cash had recorded a song called "25 to Life" where he lamented how many cops he killed, not a word would have been said.....now that's some power!
"I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die"
.....rest in peace, Johnny Cash....

Me,
'Cause I'm easy come, easy goLittle high, Little low
Anywhere the wind blows,
Doesn't really matter to me...
Love that song, but for some reason I can't get Wayne's World out of my head when I listen to it.
drunken_nomad is on the Fishbone (and Clutch) trolley!
Just want to say that I'm impressed by how diverse everyone's tastes are. There is not a ton of overlap here, but I find that a great thing! Far too often, people want to put all aspects of their life into neat little boxes... like folks here at work...
"No, I just listen to country"
"I just listen to whatever's on K-DUM"
Blecch. Music is a gift in all forms. Don't waste it by limiting yourself.
Today's work selections:
Coheed & Cambria - 'Second Stage Turbine Blade' (pushing it for work, but I'll keep the volume low)
Bach - 'Bradenburg Concerto No 5'
My Morning Jacket - 'It Still Moves'
The Go! Team - 'Thunder, Lightning Strike'
Beethoven - 'The Essential Symphonies' (3,5,7,9)
I have a feeling I'll be needing something heavier later tonight though... maybe some 18 Visions or Mastodon.

Agreed. As the back of my iPod says "Without music, life is a journey through a desert."
