What music are you listening to right now?

[Pendaric]

Me, my i-tunes is on shuffle and I've currently got a blues artist called Adrian Byron Burns on. I doubt anyone will ever have heard of him - he does the blues circuit around the UK selling his own CDs, but he's not famous outside that area.

[Christina]

It's only 6am so I have to be quiet. I've got "The David Grisman Quartet" on quietly in the background. If you've never heard of him, he's an amazing bluegrass mandolin player.

I was just thinking about signing up for one of those music services this morning. I have hundreds of old albums and tapes and I've had some converted but there are so many that I'll never get them all done. Archive.org (http://www.archive.org/details/audio) has most of the Dead and other live tapes that I have but there are lots of things I want to hear that I can't play anymore unless I maintain a lot of outdated technology. I was looking at Rhapsody but I'm not sure which ones are the best.

Rhapsody is good if you have anything other than an Ipod. Itunes is good if you have an Ipod, or you just want to be able to buy music. Walmart sucks because you cannot share it easily, not even between your own computers.

Jango is more of a custom radio station in which you select artists and it plays only those artists that you like.

I don't have an Ipod so all I want to be able to do is listen to them on my computer. I remember a friend wanting me to work on his webstream show that was attached to a chat room and he countered my "this is too much work" with telling me about Rhapsody. Part of it also depends on how focused they are on current music compared to the older stuff that I usually like more.

[Goldie]

My son bought my husband a touch Ipod for Father's Day. He loves it and I reallly want one. I've got all sorts of gadgets and a sirius system both in my car and on my sat. TV, but I've never owned an Ipod.

Oh, I would definitely go with Jango then. I listen to Jango at work. It is the only stream that does not jack up the system here. Technically, I am not supposed to be streaming at all, but...:D

I like it a lot because I get to choose the music I want to hear, and only the music I like.

I'm listening to a CD* by Gravy right now. They were a touring band ten or 15 years ago: doubt they are still going. Don't think they ever made it big.

"How Sweet It Is" by Joan Osbourne. It's covers of mostly some older R&B stuff.I've heard some of her stuff that sounds R&B I liked. She has nice voice for that kind of music.

I listened to Blood on the Tracks yesterday and then Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush" and they brought back all sorts of teenage memories. I still have so many things that I love on tape that I'll never be able to afford to have converted. I still have an old tape deck but I don't know how to convert them myself. I can't even figure out why I can't get any real volume out of it when I use the deck. Several people have tried to tell me ways to fix it but I'm hopeless with this kind of thing.

I don't care about the piles and piles of Dead tapes because there are loads of shows on archive.org. I have boxes and boxes of old tapes.

Last verse, for flavour of the tune:

Lay still little dogies since you have laid down
And stretch away out on the big open ground
Snore loud little dogies and drown the wild sound
That'll all go away when the day rolls around
Lay still little dogies lay still
Wahee, wahee, wahoo

I wonder. listening to it whether my great love of Mozart will help me to adjust to the quietness, the stillness of that soft and 'reconciled' music?

Because I'm listening to "La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin just now and I truly love Rock?

I say adjust because I don't want to give yp my dream of going back to Ireland next year.

I see from the comments there

Sandy still only 19 then
very pure, very magical
The song appears in "The Scottish Gael" by James Logan, first published 1876. But was composed in late 18th Century by Jane Finlayson of Tong, Lewis for a young Uig fisherman, Donald MacRae. They were married sometime after she wrote the song.

Maybe a happy ending:)

Apparently. :)

This well-known song was written by Jane Finlayson (1775-1840) of Tong about her suitor, fisherman Donald Macrae of Uig. She laments Donald’s continuing absence and wonders, in the face of her friends’ advice to give up on him, whether he will ever return. In fact he did return to marry her and some of their descendents still live in Uig.

It was fairly recently that i heard some of their stuff, made the connection, and latched onto the harmonica playing of that Hook fella. Unreal.

tone reminded me of this somewhat. and i KNOW you know this one. :)

It's always hard to be sure about these things, but Bill Flagg is thought to be the singer who invented the term "Rockabilly" in 1954.

That makes me recall a cover of The Logical Song which was very popular when I was working in a school Behaviour Support unit.

One youngster couldn't play an instrument but was very keen to play it on the keyboard, so I helped him pick it up.

The music teacher played it at the end of a lesson one time - lovely to watch a difficult and troubled class get a bit of fun from dancing to it.

I've been listening to Fresh as a Sweet Sunday Morning by Bert Jansch on Spotify.

It comes about two and a half minutes along on this youtube link.

A compilation CD of 60s and 70s songs such as "American Pie". "Hey, St Peter", "Eagle Rock", "Bad to the Bone" ,"The Wild One", "Come Up and See Me, Make Me Smile"... old but good rock. (On repeat) I put these type of CDs on repeat as I like to actually get the lyrics right for when I maybe will play them on air.

Steve Reich is awesome but that's quite an unusual piece for him but very beautiful
