<p>Over the past couple of months, my listening has been dominated by Rachid Taha’s Divan 2, TV On The Radio, Return To Cookie Mountain, and Juana Molina, Son. Also, going to sleep it’s been some Okkervil River EPs and a German bootleg of a concert from Ryan Adams’ 2002 acoustic tour. I guess I should also mention the Neko Case record, which I sort of wore out last summer and fall.</p>
<p>I’ve also been listening to Die Zauberflote a fair amount. The whole family (except D) saw the Julie Taymor Met simulcast a few weeks ago, and it set off a round of listening to it and discussing it. My wife and I are going to NYC in a few weeks to see the full-length version.</p>

<p>Wow Iderochi, had forgotten about Southside Johnny – always a fun live show. Robert Gordon, too–
Loved Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello, Eddie Cochran, early Police, the short-lived Rockpile, EW & F, 5th Dimension (great for car sing-alongs), Brothers Johnson…
Even though I’m too old for them, I really do like Green Day, which is a little more acceptable now that a lot of kids consider them passe’
Last concert: The Brian Setzer Orchestra Christmas Extravaganza – highly recommended if they come around your way next year.<br>
I agree about ipods’ terrific-ness, though must admit that most of my listening comes from my iTunes playlist here on the computer in our kitchen while cooking or blowing time on CC!</p>
<p>Never too old for Green Day! American Idiot is a masterpiece! It reminds me of something the Beatles might have done. That’s it! It’s the Beatles’ lost album, channeled by Green Day.</p>
<p>I saw the Shins have a new Cd- its rumoured that this will be SubPop biggest ever!</p>
<p>I forgot my Ipod for the gym today * oh noes!*
but usually I listen to [and</a> then I listen to the Who version- which of course is fantastic- but I am looking forward to hearing it in concert](<a href=“Napster: Music From Every Angle”>Napster: Music From Every Angle)* Ive already heard Rogers- with Keith Moon even*</p>
<p>Ive been looking for Physical Graffiti, to get in the mood for their tour- probably is too * acid* for the gym though ;)</p>
<p>I mostly listen to NPR while driving, just to get some rest from all the music at work( I play and teach piano for a living) . When I feel like music of a non-classical kind…Tom Waits( I own almost all of his albums) , The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, Coldplay, lately Bright Eyes, Elliott Smith, Thee Shallows, and some other S’s favorites. Last thing- soundtrack to “Everything is Illuminated” ( love the ridiculous gypsy-punk Gogol Bordello) .</p>
<p>Parabella,
Do you have Tom Waits’ new “Orphans” set? Discs 1 &2 have some real gems, Disc 3 is a bit of a challenge.</p>
<p>Prince’s great half time show actually made me pull out the Foo Fighters “In Your Honor” today. “Skin & Bones” is also a great disc (not quite as good as Dave’s other group’s “Unplugged in New York”, but pretty darn good). I’ve also been on a jazz fusion kick lately, listening to Miles Davis complete Cellar Door sessions and Weather Report: Forecast Tomorrow. </p>
<p>On order is Cat Power “The Greatest” LP (not CD!) & Van Morrison new comp: “At the Movies” ($9.99 on Amazon). Lderochi, thanks for the heads up on “Jukebox”. Had to do a google search to find that one.</p>
