What are you listening to?

[Tim D]

What music is in your CD player / iPod / car at the moment?

Rufus Wainrights' Release The Stars is in my PC
Mika is in my car (love singing along)
and an old Hed Kandi is on my home stereo so I can dance around the room before I go out.

[timmeyboy]

All I have is my ipod, and that changes every few minutes depends on the mood I'm in.
This morning it was The Avalanches, right now it's Zero Seven, nice and chilled out, might put something a bit bubbly on later

[Christian Taylor]

my flatmate tracked down this mp3 of chaka khan and rufus thomas singing "tell me something good" - it's so addictive. it's totally black, and 70s with all this warbling, porno guitar and heavy breathing.

love it.

[Camo]

Being a bit of a 'Amateur DJ' new tracks pass through my Laptop/IPod almost daily, I listen to more tracks on their own rather than albums.
At the moment tracks that 'cuttin up my rugs' and guaranteed to get any dance floor pumping (in my opinion) are ;

Black Sugar - Bobby Blanco & Miki Moto http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/179537-01.htm&highlight=Black%20Sugar

NYC Beat - Armand Van Helden
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/269757-01.htm&highlight=NYC%20Beat

Somewhere Beyond (Axwell mix) - Michael Gray http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/272543-01.htm&highlight=Somewhere%20Beyond

Bad Girl(At Night) - Dave Spoon

Ultimate Funk (Tocadisco mix) - Bob Sinclar http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/274250-01.htm&highlight=Ultimate%20Funk%20

:) :)

[timmeyboy]

WHERE ARE THE MEN!!!!!

[robbie]

Currently, um, I'm listening to um, Jamelia's album - it's kind of funky but camp at the same time... *blushes*

[timmeyboy]

which one robbie??? Thank You or the newer one??

[robbie]

must be the new one, "Walk With Me" - it's good!

[robbie]

Camo, you look like you know a bit about music.. I need YOUR HELP.. I'm trying to hunt down the artist and name of a wicked track.. It's located on the Market Hotel's streaming mixes.. www.markethotel.com.au - Carmine's Set - 28 minute mark - goes something along the lines of "I don't want to spend my whole without you baby" - it rocks and the Market have been of no help! the vocalist sounds very familiar too! It's driving me crazy! Googling has not helped!

[timmeyboy]

not heard that one, thank u was good, loved see it in the boys eyes
mite listen to that on the tram home!!!

[Aries Fairy]

I'm listening to the Spice Girls, gearing up for their concert. My faves are "Two Become One" and "Stop".

[alison87]

Right now i'm listening to the Wipeout 2097 compliation, so i think it's The Chems. Earlier today was some Inner City remixes and Armando's One World One Future album.

[burgjo]

Dolores O'Riordan's solo album "Are You Listening" is in CD Player in car, PC runs the home system so very mixed playlist their and Mika is still bouncing around too.

[starrrboy]

I am listening to 'Wires' by Art of Fighting, a beautiful Melbourne band whose music is perfect for this wintery weather.

[Cheetah77]

I'm bouncing between Hed Kandi's newie, various Tori albums (naturally), and PSB "Beside" album...

[hotstuff]

Operator Please and Bang Gang's new one.

[taylor-dayne]

Tori Amos all the way baby. And having a brief dalliance with Pink.

[Camo]

[Cheetah77]

I've spent the morning re-discovering Rhianna's Good Girl Gone Bad and Sophie Ellis-Bextor's trip The Light Fantastic... now onto Beyonce Remixed...

[Tim D]

Cheers Camo.

Timmey - you're so gay!

[timmeyboy]

I know!!!
I like cheesy pop, perks me up when i'm at work!!!!!

[Tim D]

Nice excuse..

[GenesisInVain]

Cheesy pop...Kelly Clarkson's new one

[taylor-dayne]

i know it's terribly pop-tastic, but i just can't stop listening to 'push the button' - sugababes... have had so many good times to that song... :)

[Cheetah77]

Last week I downloaded a Best of... Toni Braxton cd and have been listening to it and a couple of others of hers ever since... We don't see or hear that much of her over here and I'd actually forgotten how good she is!

[timmeyboy]

she's cool, loved secrets, but really like More Than A Woman

[Aries Fairy]

Am over the Spice Girls now, into Mutya ex Sugababaes. Her new single is the best.

"got such a pretty kitty boy, you know you want to pet it" hehehehe

then at the chorus it goes into happy hard trance!

[jackie87]

[taylor-dayne]

i cannot stop listening to 'i'm not leaving without you' - paris hilton. i know, i know - but it's such a good song!

[Tim D]

Some nice choices there Jackie. Goldfrapp only ever seem to get about a month or two off from my stereo before I learn to fall back in love with them again.

At the moment, my car CD player is all about Bloc Party, probably the best band to ever walk the earth.

[taylor-dayne]

oh am a huge goldfrapp fan. yep - they always deliver.

[Cheetah77]

I strated out having a Musical morning - listening to soundtracks for Chess and then Wicked (LOVE that musical) and then felt like a bit of rock chick so listened to some Garbage and now flashing back with Republica - damn they were good!

[Tim D]

Ha Ha Cheetah you're sometimes too gay to function (well, just the musical parts)

LOL.

[jackie87]

Listening to old Sugarcubes records and the best of Babs - a bit of variety

[Cheetah77]

Yes Tim, I know i know! But I like to think I balance it out with other butch/fully streetwise stuff like umm... butch/streetwise music! :)

or maybe i'm just too gay to function?
*checks gayometer*
yep, pretty gay!

Meanwhile, I've moved from Republica onto Cher... see, totally balanced! :)

[pinkyboisyd]

What counts as butch/streetwise music? i mean can u give an example of a track?

Or am i just showing how gay i am by asking that question?

[drmoreau]

Just had a Tori Amos marathon.

Listening to now: Fujiya & Miyagi - Ankle Injuries.
Such an awesome song.

Those interested in song playing statistics and such, check out Last.fm (http://www.last.fm)! It monitors your songs played and sends you recommendations for new artists based on your history. It's so addictive!

[Cheetah77]

I was just trying to be butch and streetwise pinky... the fact that I couldn't come up with anything shows how very un-butch and streetwise I really am! :)

[robbie]

I'm on a Madge flashback... I still love her American Life album..

[jackie87]

Bang Gang DJs - even though I hate bangers personally the album is so addictive

[Camo]

I recently purchased "BAR SUSU- Deep"

http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/255392-01.htm&highlight=bar%20susu

Very cool deep house album perfect for a Sunday arvo sunset drinks, or to start a soulful party in the right direction.

Fav tracks are;
Leela James - "Good Time"
Afro Angel - "Join Me Brother" (Problem Kid vocal mix)
M Swift - "Morning Light" (feat Vanessa Haynes - Noteshun remix)
Central Avenue - "Need Your Lovin"

:cool:

[timmeyboy]

Hed Kandi 50 Mix.
Classic hed kandi

[jackie87]

"Sharpen my body like a peeeeeen!
Come on I need to show it"

Can't get The Knife out of my system

[GenesisInVain]

Nostalgia.. some Seal.. Kiss from The Rose, just watched that Batman film...haha.. thought it would be nice

[Mr J]

well recently I have been obsessed about three days grace ... but i am currently listening to bad touch by blood hound gang

[GenesisInVain]

three days grace, great for those 'pms' moods and when on hyper bitch mode!

[Mr J]

yeah they are really good when your angry or annoyed at a person ... or situation ... or really anything in particular.

[GenesisInVain]

definitely. i have to agree!!!!! i really like their first album, i'm not that keen on their second one

[Mr J]

I will admit ... I don't actually own any albums ... :o I just go from youtube video to video ;) ... I really like Pain, Just like you, I hate everything about you, never too late, and gone forever.

[jackie87]

Alanis - Jagged Little Pill

another relationship of mine has gone sour!

[robbie]

Picked up an album by DJ Chris Fortier - he's the guy who did the classic remix of Delerium - Silence.. new album is "As long as the moment exists." Jury is still out- I'll come back after the second or third listen.

[jackie87]

you live
you learn
you love
you learn
you cry
you learn
you lose
you learn
you scream
you learn
you choke
you learn

[Tim D]

I'm all about Rufus Wainwright's new album "Release The Stars" still. More than anything else, I adore the feeling that comes when an album really grows on you.

You listen to it once, blah. Then a second time in the car, and one or two songs start growing on you, then you bring it into work and listen to it on the computer, and before you know it, you've fallen head over heels for the album and can't imagine a time when you weren't desperately in love with it. That's my relationship with Rufus.

[peeter]

you live to party every weekend
you learn you lose vital brain cells each time you do :o
you love that Sleaze ball has a circus theme
you learn that a plane ticket to Sydney and a leather outfit are very expensive to coordinate :mad:
you cry because you missed out on Spice Girls reunion tickets
you learn that the DVD will probably provide a better experience :rolleyes:
you lose your boyfriend to another
you learn that 3some's didn't bring us closer together
you scream at some Same Same members that treat this site like a pick up site
you learn that some people only have cock on the brain
you choke.......
you learn that your eyes are certainly bigger than your throat! :eek:

[GenesisInVain]

jackie got me listening to ABBA. 'Money, Money, Money"

[GenesisInVain]

you live to die
you learn all about heartbreak
you love his manflesh
you learn that those jeans are so 1999
you cry over Kylie canceling her concert (not that I do)
you learn to never ever fall in love with a straight boy ever again
you lose the chance to satisfy his curiousity
you learn to tango with your two left feet
you scream out 'I'm not happy Jan'
you learn the hard way
you choke on his manflesh
you learn that one day your Prince Charming will come along, its just not the guy you're choking on.

[Mr J]

you live to go on
you learn to never go down without a fight
you love the wrong guy
you learn not to love so easily
you cry when your alone
you learn to be strong by yourself
you lose a bet
you learn not to bet on things with high odds
you scream about society
you learn that in order to change society you must start with one person at a time
you choke when you relise your ex is engaged
you learn your ex is an idiot

I am also loving the new Smashing Pumpkins album. I think I've had two days perhaps, where I haven't listened to it at least once. :)

[jackie87]

I just got the Midnight Juggernauts album "Dystopia" - I like it so far but like all dance non-compilation albums it will be quickly underrated.

[pdunni]

I am into local band here on the Gold Coast, Operator Please.. Their latest 'Just a song about ping pong!' is so catchy.

And from all reports here they are very nice people.

[Tim D]

Yeah Operateor Please rock. They came into the Same Same/Sound Alliance offices a few weeks back and we played a game of ping pong with them on our table. (PS. They were not very good at ping pong but such lovely young kids!)

[timmeyboy]

Check out the samesame gang, mixing with the stars!!! hahahaha

[taylor-dayne]

i am loving the alanis wisdom.

http://amysrobot.com/files/alanis.jpg

it reminded me of this:

The Alanis Lyrics Generator (http://www.brunching.com/alanislyrics.html)

It's a website that creates your own Alanis song based on a few words that you put in. Here's one I prepared earlier, using the words procrastination, cheeses, fingers, lies, buttons, cars, chickens, keats (my fave poet), trevor (a supposed former ex boyfriend) and black (my fave colour.)

here's an example of what you get:

"I Think"

I Think cheeses are really a huge problem
I Think lies are too much on my mind
I Think chickens have got a lot to do with why the world sucks
But what can you do?

Like a black rain, beating down on me
Like a Keats line, which won't let go of my brain
Like Trevor's ass, it is in my head
Blame it on procrastination
Blame it on procrastination
Blame it on procrastination

I Think cars are gonna drive us all crazy
And buttons make me feel like a child
I Think fingers will eventually be the downfall of civilization
But what can you do? I said what can you do?

Like a black rain, beating down on me
Like a Keats line, which won't let go of my brain
Like Trevor's ass, it is in my head
Blame it on procrastination
Blame it on procrastination
Blame it on procrastination

Like a black rain, beating down on me
Like Trevor's smile, cruel and cold
Like Keats's ass, it is in my head
Blame it on procrastination
Blame it on procrastination
Blame it on procrastination

[jackie87]

Check out what she does with the muff!

[jackie87]

Konichiwa bitches from New York to Saigon

got Robyn's new album on import!!

and Simian Mobile Disco - I Believe

[meezon04]

LOL!! That Alanis Clip is hilarious!! Bravo!

I'm into Operator Please and Kylie's new album lately - so dancey!!
Oh and Vanessa Amorosi's new one too

Oh and the High School Musical 2 Soundtrack :P

Did I just admit that? Oh God

[DanM82]

Oh and the High School Musical 2 Soundtrack :P

Did I just admit that? Oh God

Yes... yes you did!

Stereo at work - 4Play vol 6
iPod - Nickelback - All the Right Reasons
Stereo at Home - Garbage - Absolute Garbage

[Tim D]

High School Musical is totally my guilty secret.

[jackie87]

With Every Heartbeat - Kleerup (feat. Robyn)

and old Avalanches album "Since I Left You"

its been playing in the clubs quite a bit but now I'm so obsessed with Robyn even with the Britney "Show Me Love" stage

[Cheetah77]

I'm really looking forward to getting Darren Hayes' new one... saw him on Rove last night and he was so likeable... not sure about those dance moves he was pulling out tho - i got a little frightened.

[meezon04]

oh my God, how often is he on Rove?? Hahaha. Damn I missed it. I love Darren's new stuff too.

[ambience77]

Katie Melua - Call off the Search / Piece by Piece CDs

[Tim D]

Regina Spektor is getting the run of my car CD player at the moment, she is amazing. Such a shame I missed her when she was out here recently.

[Cheetah77]

I'm listening to Darren's last couple of solo albums in preparation for the new one but also listening to a bit of Everything But The Girl... I just love Tracey Thorns voice!

[jackie87]

I love this video, so cute and nerdy!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADm41Aw3LXo
and I would love to see her live, and also would've liked to know how she delivered that baby piano :eek:

[Blinking With Fists]

LOL. That song is great (Planet New Year) and the clip is classic.

I'm hoping she delivered the piano by c-section. Cause that would have hurt otherwise.

And live? Absolutely amazing! I saw her when she had the ensemble with her, and she just had the crowd eating out of her hand all night. Everyone was hooked. She was even better live with the new arrangements than on her cds. A must see.

[pdunni]

I just bought Timbaland's new album on the weekend and I love it.. I think the CD is fused to the player in my car..

Also have you seen the new Virgin Blue ad using another operator please song, 'get what you want?' They are coming along very fast!
