Whats in your...

What is in your CD player right now? I have gone out and bought several CD's and LP's from reading other's post info on bands and music they like. I would really like to find more music thats new to me.

Right now I'm listening to a CD of Hawaiian acoustic steel guitar and slack key guitar duets by Bob Brozman and Ledward Kaapana. The title of the CD is Kika Kila meets Ki Houalu (Kika Kila is Hawaiian for steel guitar and Ki Houalu means slack key).

Now, where's my Mai Tai!

Common Sense - Live at the Belly Up

The CD is about 10 years old. Music is California Reggae. Good Stuff but might be an acquired taste for some....

The Essential Janis Joplin

:tiki:

Space Age Bachelor Pad Music

Marty Robbins:
Gunfighter Ballads & Trail Songs

Before that it was

Ween:
The Mollusk

The 5-disc changer in The Lounge currently has:

The Complex - new Blue Man Group (their 1st cd is better, but this one is still incredible! If you only know them from their "Intel" commericals, you really should check 'em out!)

Tribal Thunder - Dick Dale (oowww.. SMOKIN"! 'Nuff said!)

The Best of The Outlaws - (shut up! - "Green Grass & High Tides" is awesome air geetar stuff!)

Trader Pup's Exotic Tidbits from the Puu Puu Platter (feat. 'The Size of Your Tiki' by Sven Kirsten) - (Pup, you outdid yourself on this gem!)

Alone In IZ World - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (ever since I signed his version of "Over The Rainbow" for an American Sign Language class in December, this disc has not left my player. Simply beautiful.)

Mind you, this melange is NOT on random/shuffle - I may be eclectic, but I'm not a masochist...

I am listening to Django Reinhart right now rotating with Los Indios Tabajaras, before that was Frank Black's Pistolaro.

I had Ween: the Mollusk just before Esqivel. I need to get me a Marty Robbins CD!

Yeah Bong, that rocks! Brozman, that blueeyed devil, really is the king of Hawaiian acoustic steel. Have you heard the one with Cyril Pahinui, same kinda stuff?

On my CD player, "Bossa Then and Now" (my compilation). Lately: lotsa Martin Denny, Sons Of Hawaii, and (blush) me.

Air - Moon Safari
Senor Coconut - El Baile Aleman
Shreikback - Oil & Gold
Beck - Midnight Vultures
Shirley Bassey - Diamonds Are Forever (Remix Album)

Ahh yes oil & gold. Awesome album.

Two CDs ... 'Sex Without Bodies' and 'Unauthorized' by a group called 'Dave's True Story.'

I saw this band for the first time this past Tuesday - they opened for Cousteau - and have been listening to them since. These songs fit in the retro jazz, smokey lounge, sultry cabaret ambience. The lead singer reminded me of today's version of the 50's Julie London.

These are quiet songs, with thoughtful and intelligent modern lyrics. Although they're not bossa nova, they do have that same sense of spirit to them.

Vern

Victor Wooten - A Show of Hands
Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy

After to listening to this Wooten CD I may never pick up a bass guitar again! I'm not worthy!

Replacements - Pleased to Meet Me
Radiohead - The Bends
Sheryl Crow - C'mon C'mon
Linkin Park - Meteora
Sugar Ray - Sugar Ray
Soul Coughing - Irresistable Bliss

Lots o catchy pop to keep the lyrics from the Does anyone really know thread from upsetting my feeble mind.

Ahh...1)The Velvet Lounge-Late at Night vol. 3 2) Eee-O 11-Best of the Rat Pack 3) Rhino's Surfin" Hits.

Today has been
X - Los Angeles

War of the Surf Guitars

Pixies - Doolittle

X - L.A. is one of those forgotten classics that I need to add to my CD collection (got the vinyl but it's shot to shit from too many drunken punk partys). Must admit the only Pixies CD I have is Surfer Rosa, havn't heard Doolittle (For some reason that title makes me think of Pere Ubu's song "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo"). Speaking of which I've been hunting all over for a VHS video called "URGH, a Music War" that is the bomb, and has both the aforementioned bands on it doing great live perfomances.

Ronnie Magri and his New Orleans Jazz Band
"Shim Sham Revue"

This week I got into some of my 80's cassettes I came across, so my listening has been:

The Smith's "Best of"
New Order - Substance

and my exotica CD of the most recent dubs

Axel Strodahl - The Magic Islands Revisited
George Cates - Polynesian Percussion

Shipwreckjoey are you playin' with me? Pere Ubu had quite an influence on The Pixies, or so I have read. You can here it in their music, at least I can. I haven't heard of Urgh! A Music War before, it sounds like it's worth looking out for. http://www.pncl.co.uk/~skuds/spizz/urgh.html

I found it listed on Ebay, you can pick up the LP pretty cheap but the Video is a bit to pricey for me right now, momma needs new tires. :D

I've seen 'music war' a few times.... remember ON TV? We had a pirate box, and I remember staying up late to watch it! I've seen the movie on cable in the past year or so.

Here's a web group trying to organize a re-release of the movie on DVD:

http://www.urghamusicwar.com

It is a link for a Yahoo Group list.

:tiki:

1. Blue Hawaii - Elvis

2. Survivor Bathroom - I had a friend of mine (who does contract work) remodel one of the bathrooms and it took so long and we had so much fun that it became a joke. I decided to create a soundtrack of some the songs that we listened to the most (from Steely Dan to well, I'll just upload the art)...

There are only 3 of these CD's in existence. He owns one, I own two. He got a t-shirt too. "Dirty Work" pretty much sums up the bathroom remodeling experience.

3. Cocktail Mix - Martini Madness
   I LOVE this CD!! (..."In the House of Bamboo"...)

4. Cocktail Mix - Bachelor's Guide To The Galaxy
   Also good, but Martini Madness is better, IMHO.

5. Doc & Riff a' Go Go - Live at Kiddlepalooza
   Another rare, homemade CD with songs from the 60's that we danced to during our set in the go-go cages.
   

6. Millennium Hip-Hop Party
   "I like big butts and I cannot lie...."
   "...even white boys got 2 shout...baby got back!"

7. Bryan Ferry + Roxy Music
   This CD is loaded just for the song, "Love is the Drug". I put it on repeat and listen to it over and over.

Thanks Trader. I'm hooked up.
