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

So I played Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, Rabbit Fur Coat, at our dinner party last night. It got a lukewarm reception. "Too much like bluegrass," my wife said.

Then I played Rilo Kiley's Take Offs and Landings. It got much more positive reviews from everyone. "I like her better in her group," said mrs medic8r.

well, it's a good thing she ain't coming to the concert!

Mitch Hedberg - Do You Believe In Gosh?

I didn't even know this CD was coming out, and then I saw it on Amazon.com and wondered why I was so out of the loop.

Charles-

I (and I'll speak for JP too) are Hedberg fans.

How's the the new CD?

Entertaining, as you'd expect. My first impression is that it's "looser" than his previous CDs. Of course, it's been a while since I've listened to his others, and I was semi-distracted during parts of this one. There's some pretty funny material, though, and I like some of his reactions to crowd feedback. I'll have to give the disc more concentration sometime. Do you have the other two CDs?

Yeah... I bought them the day he died. Considering I had liked him for a few years before that, I probably should have bought them when he was alive, huh? I like the other two....

Here's a good Hedberg quote for our forum, since we're mostly a blend of Americans and Canadians:
---
I like the American-Canadian border, 'cause if you're walking on the border with a friend, and you push your friend into Canada, he can't push you back right away, 'cause first he has to go through customs:

"What brings you to Canada?"
:[Points to the side] "That @sshole."
"When are you leaving?"
:"As soon as I regain my equilibrium!"

I really want to do that to someone now.

I suggest any one of our elected officials.

Tonight I'm rocking out with Rachmaninov The Symphonies, thanks JohnK....!....followed by Holst the Planets Zubin Mehta....pretty cool listening to this with all the lights out and the windows starfield screensaver going on my 137" screen.......oh yeah and a few Leinenkugel Sunset Wheats to boot.
