first music you heard today

i.d. the first music you heard after waking up (or while waking up, if you wake up with a clock radio)

I slept through the alarm but am now playing "one night in space" by tangerine dream, it is an ace first-track-of-the-day

guess I'll just sing dream on again (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Tuesday, 26 October 2010 13:22 (fifteen years ago)

Neil Young's "Sample and Hold" from Lucky Thirteen. Not the best track in the world, but actually matched the weird weather here in Chicago and the slightly "off" feeling with all the doom-and-gloom in the air.

i nearly always put on an electronic album or mix to start the day - today the new bjørn torske album, which is really excellent balearic stuff that should be of interest to lindstrøm etc fans.

lex lex lex lex lex on the track BOW (lex pretend), Tuesday, 26 October 2010 13:26 (fifteen years ago)

I don't actually know. It was some random tune that was the ringtone of the dude at the cornershop where I charged my Oyster this morning. When I got on the bus, I put on a Lindstrom album, which was the first music I consciously chose.

It was Scooter's cover of "Rebel Yell".

mike t-diva, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 14:45 (fifteen years ago)

Actually, no it wasn't (xpost to self). It was Franz Schubert off Trans-Europe Express, in the car, driving through suburban drizzle, as far away from Europe as you can get while still being in Europe.

calumerio, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 14:46 (fifteen years ago)

I've been listening to lots of Gregory Isaacs since I heard he died yesterday, and I think this was the first song I heard this morning:

John Coltrane - My Favorite Things

sarahel, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 19:07 (fifteen years ago)

Ah, today's first music is the same first music I've heard almost every day since I moved here, Em & Rihanna's "Love the Way You Lie," c/o my early-waking next door neighbor. It's not loud enough to wake me up, but I do hear it when I go to the kitchen to make oatmeal and tea. The exception was one day a few weeks ago when he played "Three Little Birds" all day.

17th Century Catholic Spain (Abbbottt), Tuesday, 26 October 2010 19:09 (fifteen years ago)

I haven't heard any music today.

K3 or Mega Mindy. Do not listen on youtube. I hate music for three year olds. lol

Nathalie (stevienixed), Thursday, 28 October 2010 13:11 (fifteen years ago)

Listening to Dinosaur Jr's Without A Sound this morning, for the first time in probably fifteen years and I skipped over the first track ("Feel the Pain") so the first song I heard was "I Don't Think So".

I can understand why this isn't regarded as one of the band's higher points, but I don't really see why anyone should dislike it either. Murph's drums are missed, but this is far from an awful album.

tylerw, Friday, 29 October 2010 16:11 (fifteen years ago)

I haven't listened to Dan Bejar in years, but I think his voice might sound like children's folk strummer Barry Louis Polisar. I could be way off base here, but it's worth a shot.
