Heavy rotation (things getting a lot of listening lately)
| 
Dec 20 02:18 UTC 1999 |
I have the problem lately that I've been listening to something a lot, but
not when I'm online (hence no entry in the "Music to conference by" item).
So what's been getting a lot of spins in your stereo lately?

Mostly while programming at work:
NIN, "The Fragile".
Danny Elfman, original Batman movie score.
In the car:
David Bowie, "Ziggy Stardust".

I had been thinking of gluing shut the drawer of my CD changer once
the Magnetic Fields set was inside but lately I've been listening to
more instrumental music while studying for finals.. Michael Hedges'
"Oracle" has been getting a lot of spins..
Also, while digging through a part of my collection I don't frequently
visit, I brought out Carole King's "Tapestry". In addition to being
one of the classic 70s albums, it's also one of the albums I associate
most closely with childhood (along with the red and blue Beatles'
collection albums and Cat Stevens' "Teaser and the Firecat" and
"Tea For the Tillerman", "Tapestry" is one of the albums I heard over
and over as a small child, when my five sisters used to listen to it.)
Probably because of that association I've been finding it evokes
pleasant and soothing memories so it's been getting a lot of play
during this past hyper-stressful week..

The CD player that once was in my room is now in my dorm room in Chicago, so
now that I'm back home for winter break, I have no way of playing CDs without
inflicting them on the rest of the house. There's been a lot of Joshua
Kadison and Sonia Dada playing lately, them being the most user-friendly ones
in my diskwallet at the moment.

(the Handsome Boy Modeling School CD has been in my disc changer
nearly non-stop since its release a couple of months ago.)

I finally managed to pry "69 Love Songs" and the Minders' two albums out
of the CD player. Robyn Hitchcock's "Eye" is getting a lot of play at
work, and the car cassette du jour is "The Gay Parade" by Of Montreal.

"Eye" was always one of the Robyn Hitchcock albums I liked best..
(apart from "Eye" I find it better to take him in smaller doses..)

That's probably a good idea. Otherwise you might end up like me...

(which is even odder than it might seem, since I have no idea what
a Cynthia mask might look like..)

hmm.. lately.. Jaci Velasquez 'Llegar a Ti' and Plumb 'Candycoatedwaterdrops'
have been in my cd players more than anything else.. just got two new Grey
Eye Glances CDs, so they'll probably take over that distinction for a while..

The newish Kristen Hersh CD Sky Motel has been getting a lot of play on
my cd, that and Beck Mellow Gold (from the early 90s), Aisha Kandisha's
Jarring Effect Shabeestation which is Morrocan music from the early 90s
produced by Billaswell though his prduction here is less heavy handed than
in say his Materiasl projects.

The Magnetic Fields and the Minders have both crept back into the CD
player, alas. I hope they don't get into a fight. I wonder who would
win?
re. #9, I assume a Cynthia Mask would look like Robyn Hitchcock's ex-
girlfriend, Cynthia. Except I don't know what she looks like.

re #11: hmmm.. and here I thought I'd bought or listened to nearly
all of the ton and a half of world-music records Laswell had produced
during that period.. (it must just have seemed that way -- some of
the material he was associated with at that time remains among my
favorite music from that time but there were a number of Laswell
projects that *I* wound up regretting whether or not he did..)

Heavy rotation right now: Dead Can Dance's "Toward the Within". I've
always loved this album, but now that I've seen the video of the live
performance, I can't bear to take it out of the cd player. It's also
nice at work since it isn't hyper, and not "new agey" enough to put me
to sleep.

Random radio and often whatever Julie picks up at the library. We had
Kenny Loggin's _Return to Pooh Corner_ and _A Sesame Street Christmas_
in for a while.

with my wife, Weird Al Yankovic's _Running With Scissors_ CD
with me, Eiffel 65's _Europop_, particularly "Blue Da Ba Dee," "Too
Much of Heaven," and "Hyperlink (Deep Down)." It's dance music, but I
can dance inside even if I'm not physically doing so =)

Woops, this is the "heavy rotation" item, not the "now playing" item.
Lately, "Remain in Light" or Janis Joplin's "Pearl" have been in my CD player
almost full time.

These days almost all of my real listening happens in the car, even though
I don't drive that much. Right now I'm working on Rage Against the Machine's
"Evil Empire".

Probably the three items getting lots of play time in the car right now are:
1) The Cock and Bull Band, "Pumped Up and Loaded," French/English folk dance
band, slightly rocked up
2) Lais, "Lais," trio of Belgian women who sing either acapella or with
the folk-rock band Kadril
3) an album by the above-named Kadril whose title I cannot remember,
it's in Flemish.
