Usually noisy stuff I can't listen to at home. Yesterday, it was the Stooges' Raw Power.

Mix CDs of whatever I'm into. So recently a 90s one and a Europop one.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 13:32 (twenty-one years ago)

This morning it was the Kanye West album. Yesterday it was Neil Young. I usually take anything upbeat or rocking. I need any sort of pick me up (dont even have time to make coffee)

― Michael B, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 13:33 (twenty-one years ago)

This morning it was Clinic's 3 EP's.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 13:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Whichever CD I had a hankering for before I went to bed last night, and thus put on overnight to record to minidisc. Today it was Rest Proof Clockwork. I have some Bark Psychosis and Disco Inferno for the train home.

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 13:44 (twenty-one years ago)

where are my iPod/similar doogs at?

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

This morning it was Celebrity Skin, gloryglory sunkissed brisk joy journey home tonight will probably be Statues by Moloko (except I am travelling to! and from! college so possibly do not count).

We're not rich enough yet, stevem. The ~~revolution~~ £65 iPod is not yet upon us.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 13:51 (twenty-one years ago)

yesterday was mostly 'Gonzales Uber Alles' which i think is a very cool piece of work but shame there's NO actual rapping on it at all.

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 14:01 (twenty-one years ago)

You can pretend to listen to real CDs like actual commoners, but we all know you're a posh techno-fetishist.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

last two days 't was Talkie Walkie and Liar's They were wrong so we drowned. having just installed broadband (being rockist, i download the above mentioned full albums :-)), things are very very likely to become much much more random in the near future. which is what i'm looking forward too.

― willem (willem), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 14:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Today, going in to university to hand an essay in, I plan to listen to whichever of my compilations has Jewel "Intuition" and Mandy Moore "Senses Working Overtime" on it... if I can find it. Failing that maybe Rufus Wainwright's new one.

this morning it was the first 5 or so tracks from MF Doom's Operation Doomsday

― Felcher (Felcher), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

radio hauraki

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

The drive to worked this morning was cold and long until some blessed college DJ started playing a whole set of Iron Maiden C/D

Usually it's brass band music, rock if I happen to be listening to anyone at the time, basically the high-energy music that I don't listen to as much at home (home listening tends to be the hip-hop, jazz, and electronic stuff I don't listen to in the car).

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

To the omnipresent & everchanging streetscapes, exclusively.
But then my way(s) to workplace(s) are probably really short compared to everyone else's here, I suppose.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

i have a 3 hour commute so this morning :

- woebot's "brick door mix" to sleep to : that's not to say it's an uninteresting mix just that it's so even tempered and cyclical that it makes sleeping on a train very easy

- dexy's best of "precious" : the only ever had 3 good songs. this proves it.

- beatles "let it be... naked" : still quite boring or possibly even more boring.

― phil turnbull (philT), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 20:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Choice: Too $hort "Oakland" haha
Randomness:
Vitalic "Poney"

― mullygrubber (gaz), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Almost always listen to only radio in the morning. And usually talk radio.

― dleone (dleone), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:50 (twenty-one years ago)

This is only partially related, but back in high school, I fell into the routine of walking to school listening to either Reach the Beach or Phantoms by the Fixx (who I was rather inexplicably into for a little while). I was living way the hell over on E.86th street between York and East End Avenues at the time. Most of my walk consisted of trekking West on 86th street until I got to Park Avenue. Since those days, I've always mentally equated E.86th Street with the sound of the Fixx. What's striking about that is sometime in the late 80's (I was still living there), Cy Curnin -- LEAD SINGER OF THE FIXX -- moved to the apartment building across the street. I used to see him at the corner ATM and in the local grocery store. I shit you not. I felll into the habit of accosting him irritatingly. "Hey, Cy! Stand or Fall, man!" "Hey Cy, Are we Ourselves?"

He was always a gent about it.

Matthew Dear "Leave Luck to heaven

The more I listen to it the more I like it.

― hector (hector), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 22:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Although I installed a CD player in my car, I decided to keep the 6 watt AM tuner as well, so recently I've been enjoying the 'No New York' compilation while listening to right-wing old men take calls from pensioners and other right-wing idiots about whatever they currently are pissed off at or where they're going on holiday. (1278 3AW in Melbourne)

― Sasha (sgh), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 23:58 (twenty-one years ago)

for whatever reason, I am cringing as I write this: Howard Stern.

― Ben Boyer (Ben Boyer), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:46 (twenty-one years ago)

three cassettes that have not left my car in 2003:

les rita mitsouko 'bestov'/'debut'
autechre 'draft 7.30'/'grantz graf'/'coachella'
charles ives 'concord' (john kirkpatrick) / 'music for chorus' (gregg smith chorus)

― (Jon L), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm a 20th century man, all I listen to is tapes on my walkman. Some young asian punk kid actually told me I was "cool" for "keeping it old school". (More like "poor" for "being lazy").

― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Usually, Stern ... occasionally, KXLU (LA) ... I save the iPod until I get to work since my commute is often < 10 minutes, so I don't feel like hooking up the POD

― dean gulberry (deangulberry), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 01:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Yesterday, I listened to New Order on my way to work. Today, it was TV on the Radio. I'm thinking of buying myself an iPod through. They seem so cool in the commercials, what with the crazy dancing and all.

― Christian Rawk (Christian Rawk), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 01:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Our lives are very similar in at least this way, Gulberry. Back and forth from 97.1 to 88.9, too lazy to hook up the pod. Up Highland and over the Cahuenga pass, right into Burbank. The Repetition brutal and numbing.

Pull out of the garage. Trim-spa ad vs. slightly static-y Beat Happening 7"? Sit and Sleep will beat anyone's advertised price or your mattress is FREEEEE! Fuck it, What do Kevin and Bean have? Some punk from The O.C.? Oh, shit, I'm at work already.

― Ben Boyer (Ben Boyer), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 01:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Nothing - I bring the Discman & listen AT work, in the afternoon. Nothing too complex or unfamiliar (i.e. nothing NEW) 'cause it's too hard to perform data entry and operate a brain at the same time. Best music for punching computer keys is Donna Summer's "Dance Collection", Chemical Brothers, and AC/DC. (Slayer's too fast.)

― Scott Bloomfield, Wednesday, 7 January 2004 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Today: a radio 4 discussion on genetics, nature Vs nurture etc. a Pantera "Far Beyond Driven"

― mei (mei), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 20:21 (twenty-one years ago)

N.P.R. -- or, the occasional mixtape.

― christoff (christoff), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

MP3 car stereos are possibly the best things ever.

1 CD-R + shuffle = commuting bliss.

― may pang (maypang), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:41 (twenty-one years ago)
