I listen to anything, but I do prefer big band/swing, marching band music, anything doen by brass (i.e. the Canadian Brass). In my car I mainly listen to mixes that I've burned.

 

[Pilgrim]

Dick Dale's "Spacial Disorientation" CD!

The master of surf guitar still live and plays like he's on fire!

A review of Dick Dale live - I've seen him every year for the past three years.

 

[Tafty]

Smithsonian and Ken Burns' Jazz collections; my newest love Seu Jorge.

 

[PADDY]

Ella Fitzgerald...black coffeeeee!!

25 Original recordings, under the title of LADY ELLA. I just love her, she's hot, black and gorgeous, sensual, gets right under your skin to your soul and pricks you just in all the right places. I just adore her. Ella, I so wish I could have seen you live in concert

She's singing...BLACK COFFEE, as I type...:eusa_clap

[LizzieMaine]

A guilty pleasure from my childhood -- 1970's-era airchecks of Larry Glick's all-night radio talk show over WBZ, Boston: gathering place for loonies, screwballs and wackos of every sort....

 

[Hemingway Jones]

My favorite songs at the moment and those that are in rotation on my iPod (no more CDs for me) are:

"Mondo Bongo" By Joe Strummer. I love that song, but for the life of me, I don't believe I could tell you why.

"The Future" by Leonard Cohen. - a glorious profane opus.

"Hallelujah" by Jess Buckley. -very personal and very moving.

"Duncan" by Paul Simon. I pretty much love everything by Paul Simon.

Also, I am a huge surf guitar fan and love Dick Dale, but my favorite is Link Wray and the Raymen. That guy was ten years ahead of his time; doing things that only Hendrix would do.

The Honeydrippers were good fun too. I remember that back in my high school days.

The Honeydrippers were good fun too. I remember that back in my high school days.

Ironically,today I just recieved two Honeydrippers concert CD's in the mail! Unofficial releases of course. fftopic:A great memory for those of us old enough to remember is when they played "Santa Claus is Back in Town" on an Eddie Murphy hosted SNL!

 

[J. M. Stovall]

Today it's Bessie Smith and Mance Lipscomb at work.
Usually NPR in the car.

 

[Nick Charles]

Giddy Up here's whats in my car

 

[J. M. Stovall]

I haven't seen that one! I love Bing and Western. A couple of roots western cds I really like are:
Cattle Call-Early Cowboy Music and it's Roots
Don't Fence Me In-Western Music's Golden Era

 

[Haversack]

George Formby singing _My Ukelele_ from the cd collection of his work entitled _Turned Out Nice Again_.

Haversack.

 

[Steve]

Lately I've been listening to a medley of Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby, and David Crowder*Band.

 

[Samsa]

At the moment my car has:

The Beatles - Revolver
Leonard Cohen - Songs of Love and Hate

In my discman:

David Gray - White Ladder

 

[Michaelson]

[Daisy Buchanan]

I usually just put my iPod on random, but if I do choose:
Paul Simon
"Duncan" nothing beats when he says "headed down the road towards New England"
"Late in The Evenin'"
"Still Crazy after all these Years"
Simon and Garfunkle
"The Boxer"
"America"
"59th Street Bridge Song or Feelin Groovy"
Sting: songs depend on mood
"Fields of Gold"
"All this Time"
"Fragile"
"Brand New Day"
"Fill Her Up"
Any of his earlier stuff
Joe Strummer "Mondo Bongo" very strange lyrics, great scene with it in Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Shakira when I'm in a rock out mood, really like the Spanish versions of her songs.
Noel Coward or Bobby Short's version of "Nina"

 

[Mojave Jack]

Hmmm, not sure that it's representative, but I had in Donnie Iris, Back on the Streets.

Otherwise in my truck I have a big band compilation CD (The Very Best of Big Band Singing), two Glenn Miller CDs, Chris Isaac (Speak of the Devil), Supertramp (Breakfast in America), The Jam (The Gift), Siouxsie & The Banshees (Twice Upon a Time), and a few others I can't think of.

My CD changer at home is currently filled up with Snuff, which is good for listening to whilst cleaning the house. I think the five Snuff CDs in the changer are Tweet, Tweet, my Lovely; Flibbiddydibbiddydob; Potatoes & Melons Wholesale Prices Straight from the Lock Up; Demmamussabebonk; and Snuff Said.

Boston: gathering place for loonies, screwballs and wackos of every sort....
