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

After seeing a video on youtube, I got the Rodrigo y Gabriela cd, too. Good stuff.

Toward the end of track 5 "Ixtapa," I think it's called, there is an amazing piece of guitar playing. At least I think it's guitar, even though it sounds like a violin to me.

That's a violin (liner notes). It's the only one with another instrument, I think.

Ya, as good as Zakk Wylde is on guitar, it's still second fiddle to Randy Rhoads

Ken has it right, it is a violinist out of Mexico and the only guest musician on the album I believe.

Tonight it's Spacehog - Resident Alien as well as Tori Amos's concert DVD, Welcome to Sunny Florida.

I'm sure I've mentioned Welcome to Sunny Florida before, but yeah, it still gives me chills. I actually don't have a lot of patience for her albums. I get tired of them quickly when I try to listen to them now. I don't know if it's the way they're produced or what, but I haven't gotten tired of her DVD yet. I think she's one of those acts that's better live. I got to see her when she was touring with Ben Folds, and even though I had a huge headache and had to spend a lot of the time at the restroom trying not to throw up, I was still impressed with her performance. Wouldn't you know it, the sound was really good in the restroom.

Spacehog!! That's what I'm gonna put on right now. Don't know why I dig those guys so much, or dug, I should say. Haven't listened in a coupla years.

Yeah, I really love Spacehog. David Letterman seemed to like them, too. I think that's why my sister decided to listen to them, and then I ended up liking them, too. I haven't kept up with what they're up to these days. I know Royston Langdon had another band, The Tender Trio, but then I think he even had another band after that. I'll have to look it up.

Listening to my favorite of all my solo piano CDs, this terrific Albeniz Iberia by Okada.

Listening to Alice in Chains, Jar of Flies & Unplugged

Say goodbye, don't follow...
