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

Regina Spektor - "All the Rowboats"

This is one of my favorite tracks that was only around as a low-quality live recording. I really loved that goofy live performance. The sense of humor is lost in this new studio version, but I still love it. I begged her in comments to make a studio version on a few occasions, so I'm taking credit for it being the first track she's sharing from the upcoming album.

I'm liking it more and more with subsequent listens.

Morgan Page - Body Work ft. Tegan and Sara

They're so cute.

I do like that song.

Has anyone (else), ever sponsored, presented and produced your own, in-home festival of a sinlge artist?

It's an indulgent luxury of time that's not only fun, but you will think of the music (whatever it may be) differently from that point forward.

So has anyone ever played a single artist's entire catalog (or bulk of same), in order, for a day, weekend, etc.

It's been a few weeks, but I did all 14 (?) Queen albums on a weekend in the shop. The process results in as many new questions as new answers.

Before that was Collective Soul, XTC. This coming workweek, I'm considering The Beachboys.

Is it "produced" if you're just doing the catalog? I should think that a "festival" would need curating.

I choose to think of it as "going on a (bandname) jag". I'm too lazy/inept to really build useful playlists, so I actually do this a lot.

I'm like Tom. I'll most often pick an artist and hit the random butten so I get all albums mixed together. My <feel free to fill in a diagnisis of your choice here> persona would make it a real challenge to stick with it for a whole weekend though. I crave variety too much.

I've done that a few times as a teenager with my Beatles collection. But not since then.

I'd have thought they were too old and leathery for your taste, but who's to critique one man's love of many other men?
