NP #2: Music to Conference By
| 
Jul 30 20:02 UTC 1997 |
Here's the late-1997 installment of the tedious, yet eternally popular,
item for reporting on the music you are listening to *now*.
Feel free to add a comment or three about this music.

Since I can't resist being #1 (unless someone sneaks a response in..)
I'm listening to Mad Professor vs. Massive Attack's "No Protection"
It's a dub master's (Mad Professor) remix of a trip-hop bands album
and mixes the better parts of both genres pretty well (or so I think..)
A good introduction to the dub sound for someone who's not familiar
with it..

Right now, Carmen, by Paula Cole, I think. Off of another one of my friend's
mix tapes, just like all the rest of my music.

Old, by Bush. It's the best song they've made since, well, since Sixteen
Stone came out. Pity it wasn't on the album.

"space time contiuum," by 2 pro1, from the ambient collection _From Here to
Tranquility_. I had been listening to Jeff Danna's soundtrack to _Kung Fu:
The Legend Continues_, but got tired of listening after the second time.

Breathe, Prodigy--selected as a single, I suspect, because it actually has
lyrics for radio people to listen to. Not many, but they're there.

The Sailor Mars single, I've forgotten what it's called. Wacky stuff, but
cool.

Since I now work for Border's, I had to take a field trip to
the store the other night. Employee discount is great. Got Christine
Lavin's _Shinning My Flashlight On The Moon_, the Capitol Steps latest,
a few others and the one I am listening to now, because it was
prominatly displayed and had some interesting titles: _Let's Face It_
by BossTones, "Another Drinking Song".

Really? Leaves me cold..
Elvis Costello and the Costello Show -- "King of America"
1986 was an excellent year for my favorite musical misanthrope --
he produced two exceptional albums, the country-sounding "King of
America" and the more rock-oriented "Blood and Chocolate." Although
in the long run I think I enjoy "Blood and Chocolate" more, "King of
America" is a great disc..

"Take My Breath Away," by Berlin. I'm listening to an 80's hit sampler tape
I made from listening to a retro 80's radio show here in Kennewick.
Hrm, speaking of Costello, I should really get some of his recordings-- from
what I've heard of him, I like his work.

Others will have different opinions but I recommend the two albums
above as my favorite later "Elvis" albums and the very powerful
"Armed Forces" as my favorite from among his early stuff.
If you decide to go with a greatest hits package of some sort don't
skimp, go straight for "Girls, Girls, Girls" -- 2 discs full of
great songs and a much better set of selections than either of the
one-disc greatest hits packages..

I am listening to nothing but the hum of my computer. I guess you might call
that music. Of course, silence and ambience are both very important in music.

Lumen, I consider the hum of my computer to be wonderful music. :)

Yeah. My dad likes leaving the computer on all the time, (our monitor goes
flaky when you shut it off), and it's in my room. The power went out a while
ago, and the sudden silence woke me up. Couldn't get back to sleep untill it
came back on.
"Kodachrome" Paul Simon

"Emotion In Motion," from the Best of Naked Eyes.
(They did a cover of "Always Something There To Remind Me" and wrote
"Promises, Promises," both big hits in 1983 and 1984.)

The Beginning is the End is the Beginning, the Smashing Pumpkins (this song
is great--too bad nobody's ever heard it. Billy at his best.)

Television, THE BLOW-UP. Found a copy at Encore today.
Bootleg quality, unsurprisingly, and the first CD is hardly essential;
we'll hope that the three long jams on the second disc make it worthwhile.
