Believe it or not, the Bloc Party album. It's not my usual cup of tea, but I'm constantly surprising myself at how good it is.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 7 November 2005 23:12 (twenty years ago)

(Helps that the first track, "Like Eating Glass," sounds so urgent and fantastic.)

I listened to all of Smashing Pumpkins' Adore while in between classes, and I had to stop reading and just sit there and take it in. Gets better everytime.

So far today, I've listened to the Band's "Music From Big Pink," which is perfect fall music for me, and the Clientele's "Strange Geometry," which has been my disc of choice for the past three days.

I've been packing all day for a move I'm making later in the week. Had Neil Diamond's Hot August Night on and loved every second of it.

― van igloo (van smack), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 00:08 (twenty years ago)

i've just this second finished listening to "music for airports" for the first time in years, and it was perfect.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 00:11 (twenty years ago)

"A Hollow Daze" by Anna Waronker. A great song buried near the end of a very so-so album.

Beenie Man - Y2K

Picked this up cheap in a dollar CD bin a few months ago and somehow it ended up on the bottom of a pile I didn't get to until now. I'm listening to it now, and it is really hitting the spot. I think I owe it to myself to listen to more dancehall.

― o. nate (onate), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 00:44 (twenty years ago)

Anthony Braxton - Five Compositions (Quartet) 1986. Totally swingin. I think I played it six times in a row.

― mcd (mcd), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 00:44 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, that Braxton album is pretty awesome. One of my favorites of his that I've heard.

― o. nate (onate), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 00:51 (twenty years ago)

"Dog-End of a Day Gone By" by Love & Rockets. Kevin Haskins' avalanche of drums of this track makes me oh so happy.

Juan Maclean - Dance With Me

― Jack L., Tuesday, 8 November 2005 02:49 (twenty years ago)

the sound of a shitty co-worker getting fired.

― god body, Tuesday, 8 November 2005 09:51 (twenty years ago)

It's still early but the rock'n'roll box set Loud, Fast and Out Of Control is doing the job for me! Rhino needs to stop releasing so many damn box sets, I dunno how I'm ever going to be able to afford to buy them all.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 10:32 (twenty years ago)

ally C and roxymuzak: i once made a tape (er, CD, actually) for a friend that contained both your songs. i think they were next to each other, in fact.

the full-length "computer love" is one of the most perfect things i will ever hear in my life.

David Shire - Theme from The Conversation
I've been listening to it for about 3 days non-stop. It haunts me like lover's kiss.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 15:05 (twenty years ago)

Nick Cave - "O Children." The fastest-flying 7-minute song ever. It feels like 3.

Yeah, that Braxton album is pretty awesome. One of my favorites of his that I've heard.

It really is great. I've heard a handful of these quartet albums. The playing is supple and carefree and totally focused. I just love Mark Dresser. Sometimes listening to Braxton feels like taking a pill but not on this one.

― mcd (mcd), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 21:49 (twenty years ago)
