Yow! Thanks for mentioning this one - I've haven't listened in years, but I'll root it out this evening. What a great band Gong were, and when Steve Hillage arrived, they got a great big dose of guitar - wonderful...:D
It's incredible how you forget stuff - this thread's a great memory-jogger. :)

[thamiam]

Driving In this morning....


Count Basie Band - Count Basie Swings, Joe Williams Sings

[HOOPLE]

My brand new remastered version of "Get Your Ya Ya's Out"!!

"Think I lost a button on my trousers. Hope they don't fall down. You don't want my trousers to fall down now, do ya?"

[Doc Wilson]

Dig it, Hoop, YaYas was the soundtrack to a good portion of my youth, had no idea it had been remastered. In my mind, its always been one of the better sounding stones records. Can't wait to hear it.

I used to love Midnight Rambler. So much better than the studio version.

[r0g3r]

Currently:

Mozart - Requiem Mass performed by the Vienna Boys Choir

Howard Roberts - Various stuff

Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

They just released all the early Stones stuff up to "Sticky Fingers" remastered. So far, I have repurchased "Ya Ya's", "Beggars Banquet", & "Let It Bleed". They are much improved.

This morning (and every morning I can con a vehicle with a CD player away from my wife) was Bob Mould , in some configuration, as well as other selections. This morning in particular was Sugar's "Beaster". A clarion wake up call was needed. Yesterday was Son Volt's "Trace".

I highly recommend. Doc called it the most exciting CD to come out in 10 years and I think he may be right.

[us2bslim]

Trace is some good stuff. I've been listening to Wilco's A.M. which you also might like. Its the first of theirs after Uncle Tupelo split. I've also been listening to a double CD of Gram Parsons (Grievous Angel, and somethin' else). That is nice too.

the montrose debut is a good one to drive by , but you really have to watch your speed.:D

[LPC2001]

I was just about to say Old 97s my choice today was the Old 97s album "wreck your life"---------------------------------------dorene doreen i thought i saw u in the arms of a man id never seen, wll come clean, doreen

[us2bslim]

Ya know, I've got "old 97s - fight songs" and it just didn't do it for me. I really like the genre, and I sorta like the band, but the singer has clearly listened to an excessive amount of britpop. They just don't seem to go together.

One of the most INTENSE performances of ANY music I've ever heard! Excellent choice! I just got a 150 year old cello restored (my grandfather's) and I figured that it would be something I could "pick up". Ha .... that's one difficult puppy to play. So far I've mastered the opening riff to Smoke On The Water on the cello :eek:

:D

:D

I'm a classically trained violinist and teacher(as well as a guitar hack) and have also studied cello.

It IS very different from playing guitar, although the first 4 frets roughly correspond to the first 4 semi-tones on the cello.

If you have any questions about it give me a holler.

.... and my 6 year old actually asked me to play Comfortably Numb (from the Roger Waters DVD) ... he didn't know the name of the song so I had to flip through the DVD chapters until he heard which song it was he wanted .... it was a cool experience for me .... he likes the way Doyle Bramhall plays guitar (upsidedown)

:D

[Saint Frank]

Last week was mostly Sugar "Beaster" and "File Under Easy Listening" with the occasional Son Volt "Trace" (when I can pry it out of my wife's mitts) and Uncle Tupelo's "Anodyne". My 6 year old daughter keeps bugging me to bring King's X "Faith Hope Love". I swear to god she was in her room the other day singing "It's Love" and she's only heard the CD a coupla times!!! It must really speak to her.

[deeperquest]

I've hit about 10 cd stores looking for "Trace" .... with no luck so far :(

[Six String Stuntman Steve]

This morning was

Rush - Different Stages - YYZ

Last night before going to sleep I turned off all the lights and started listening to Cygnus X-1 by Rush through my headphones. Everything was dark, and the prologue actually spooked me pretty bad. :eek:

[Saint Frank]

Today's selection:

[NervePoet]

"Benefit", by Jethro Tull.

[Six String Stuntman Steve]

I listened to Dream Theater's "Metropolis Pt 2: Scenes From A Memory" the other day.

Hooo man!!! I would LOVE to play that kinda stuff in a band....like "Strange Deja Vu" for instance......some of that stuff teeters on the edge of being orgasmic! :eek:

I was thinking of chopping the intro and outro of "Finally Free" and singing it for the vocal solo division of our upcoming school music festival.

Another one I thought of was "Another Day" by DT.....but I doubt I can pitch that (let alone simultaneously play a guitar). Any thoughts?

Today,

Lone Justice - Lone Justice Is that the band that sings "Warrior" ?

[Saint Frank]

Today was the illustrious Saint Frank CD!! I've been listening to it a bit lately to see if I can spruce it up a bit, probably pull a coupla tracks (the sucker's 13 tracks/60 minutes long) and start plugging it at the shows a bit more. I think I'm about ready to start writing some more so we might as well get rid of the old stuff.

[NervePoet]

Bob Dylan's "Bringing It All Back Home".

[Lurid]

Satch "Live at SF"
My latest mix of HC stuff...mainly Doc and Funky stuff

[SKEAMO]

Todd Snider - step right up
Byrds - greatest hits

[deeperquest]

Today's Pick:

1. Rolling Stones: 40 Licks

:D

[SKEAMO]

neil young - "weld"

welfare mothers make better lovers.

[thamiam]

Les Spann - Gemini

He plays guitar on half the tracks, flute on the other half.

Really amazing guitarist, played in a lot of Duke Ellingtons small combos, and with Quincy Jones' early bands.

[Saint Frank]

Today I was back to Buffalo Tom's "Big Red Letter Day". Entirely too cool.

I've got a 5 hour (one way) road trip coming up on Friday. Should get a lot of listening time in.

[thamiam]

Bud Powell - Bud in Paris

[us2bslim]

Sun Volt - Straightways
Da - Kalhoun

[SKEAMO]

put in an oldie today...AC/DC...high voltage.

listening to the title song, i caught myself doing 70 in a 55.

[Sammas]

yesterday - metallica black album
- Kenny Burrell
- Dream Theatre

today - Metallica reload
- Liquid tension experiment
- Van Morrison

[deeperquest]

Today's Pick:

Danko Jones: Born a Lion

... great guitar ... super cheesy AC/DC type crotch lyrics ... they're actually pretty funny .... "If you wanna play the blues... you gotta get yourself a woooooomaaaan ..... " :D

[deeperquest]

Uhhh ..... Uncle Tupelo is back in the player .... :D

[us2bslim]

I got the Uncle Tupelo Anthology on Friday. Been listening to it since I got it. Really....really nice. Those guys come from a very "familiar" place.

[deeperquest]

Today's Pick:

1. Queens of the Stone Age: Songs for the Deaf

.... I'm not sure if I like this CD yet :eek:

:D

[us2bslim]

Yep I haven't decided yet either.

Today: Gillian Welch and Whiskey Town homemade compilations.

[SKEAMO]

BB & Eric.......riding with the king. got to admit..i like BB's stuff better.

[deeperquest]

Tonight's Pick:

Air: 10,000 Mhz Legend

:D

[ericguitar]

This has been my "listen to headphones while I fall asleep" collection recently in regular rotation.

Uncle Kracker "No Stranger To Shame". Other than the 2 rap-rock songs, this is a great collection of tunes that hint at Seger, The Eagles and Nashville.

Guns N' Roses "Appetite For Destruction". "That band" for me. They were everything to me when I was 18 and I'll never find that with another group.

Oasis' "Heathen Chemistry". One of my favorite bands. I love Noel Gallaghers ability to write and play. I'm still trying to get into this album. There are some cuts that stand out to me.

[Saint Frank]

The last coupla days has been the dB's "Like This". Still gotta burn a copy of their "Sound Of Music" that I have on the ol' hard drive.

[ericguitar]

Today's choice was John Fogerty's live album "Premonition". It's nice to hear him happy again and singing the great songs he made famous with CCR. Highlights for me are Old Man Down The Road and Fortunate Son.

[us2bslim]

Men At Work - Cargo

[ericguitar]

This mornings go to bed CD was Buddy Guy's "Sweet Tea". I know there are some blues purists who feel this is Buddy aping Hendrix, but it's a great, spooky album and Buddy is great at taking his time and not having to be flashy, yet sounding so damn good at what he's doing.

[SKEAMO]

Today and yesterday is School Of Fish's only CD. Very good stuff from the guitarist that toured with Paul Westerberg on Paul's first solo tour and if what I've heard is correct, is now backing up Sheryl Crow. Josh Something-or-rather.

That is "IZ" I think his name is Israel Kamakha...(Hawaiian somethin' or other). Anyway, he was a young 500lb Hawaiian singer. Died a few years ago. Achingly beautiful voice.

[SKEAMO]

thanks, slim. does he have cd's out there or is he just a soundtrack guy? that's truely a beautiful song and a beautiful voice, i just can't place that voice in a 500 lb guy.

[us2bslim]

Yep he has a CD...well at least one. I found a copy via mailorder through www.elderly.com. That is Elderly music. They have a great selection of unusual traditional and world music. You should do a search for IZ and see if you can find a picture. He looked like a human mountain. No kidding.

[us2bslim]

Here is a picture of him I just found
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005O4UG.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
