Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo So what are ya listening to tonight?

The Wife just came back from shopping and got me a couple new CDs!(Whoopie!!)

A Jim Croce and a Creedence Clearwater Revival pair of fond memories!!

The CCR was fun; a couple of selections had a number of distorted instruments recorded in the hazy past, but it was a worthwile listen nontheless!

you know what Sean, i haven't even gotten around to listnening to the new Flaming Lips cd yet. I popped in the Tegan & Sara cd and it hasn't really left the deck yet...except to catch some old Stones - Exile and some Iron & Wine.

As far as the YYYs new cd i'd have to agree...i've listened to it twice now and really haven't gotten much out of it. I'm not impressed with the Somethin Like a Phenomenon cover, kind of hokey. It almost seems like a thin album, hard to say with the YYYs but devoid of any passion. At least from what was their last album. Going to definitely give it a few more spins though before a final judgement.

Was listening to some tv/movie child stars tonight - Juliette Lewis & Jenny Lewis. Really impressed with Jenny Lewis' solo effort.

I think I remember hearing Juliette Lewis on the radio once. Can't really remember what her stuff sounded like. It was a while back.

Listened to the Flaming Lips album a couple of nights ago. A pretty good extension of Yoshimi. I like it.

Also picked up Broken Social Scene's "You Forgot it in People." Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.

Juliette Lewis is sort of a punk rock type of sound, lots of energy, screaming and running around on stage. Sounds much like a Joan Jett thing. Also draws lots of comparison to Iggy Pop - though i must say she is considerably better looking!

You'll love the BSS cd i'm sure.

Doug and Ken, I always like listening to yo yo's music. What cd's are ya'll listening to tonight?

Mike, I wasn't actually listening to it tonight(while I work through tax returns), but since you asked, I'd suggest his excellent CD with the Dvorak and Herbert concertos , along with two shorter pieces.Tower has a sale on EMI classical CDs this month, if you're interested.
