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

Bonnie Raitt.............Road tested.

Kacy Crowley- kind of perfect, on pandora. Would it kill them to play this once a day on the stinkin' FM station at work? I'd be a lot less P.O.ed at the end of the week

Now it's Annie Hayden- Hip Hurray. Still on Pandora. What a yummy voice, like vocal vallium.

this morning started with a Johnny Cash American V followed up with Sly and the family Stone, Stand

Heading up to the surf ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa tonight to see the Doobie Brothers. June 22nd will be Peter Frampton. Do YOU feel like I do....

Randy you getting up around my home town Emmetsburg, going to have to listen to some Doobie Brothers choice cuts in honor of them playing at the surf.

Pat, that is cool...I grew up in Ankeny and attended college at UNI in Cedar Falls. Currently live just south of Des Moines near Norwalk, IA.

I'm familiar with Emmetsburg as I used to sell industrial products to manufacturing companies in NW Iowa. I believe Skyjack Equipment was one of them.

How the heck did you get down in TX.

For any sci-fi fans here.....I'm listening to "The day the earth stood still" soundtrack. It's the new one...on Vare'se Sarabande, recorded DDD at the Abbey Road Studios, 2002.
I have the original 1951 mono soundtrack as well, but this stereo version is fantastic. The Bernard Herrmann score is followed very well, and the "theremin" never sounded so good.
I think even JohnK might like this music score.

Tonight I'm watching the Green Day - Bullet in a Bible DVD since I've only watched it once all of the way through since buying it. I do like the performance, even if Billie Joe Armstrong yells "yeah" and "all right" too much. I also don't care for the talking in between songs. I like their music, but Armstrong comes across as pretentious in the interview stuff.

I'm also listening to Catatonia's International Velvet album. It's been forever since I've put it on. I still love it.

Listening to Wilco's new album, Sky Blue Sky. It's a bit of a departure from the past two albums - this one is much more straightforward, even a little alt-countryish, and pared down - in fact I don't think there's a single synth sound on it. Good sound quality though - very much the sound of the guys playing together in a room.

I recommend it.
