Mood Music For Grexers
| 
Mar 25 05:37 UTC 1996 |
Welcome to the Grex Music Item. Here, Grexers can discuss what music that
makes their ear hairs dance, or what puts them into a coma. Please do not put
anyone down for their taste in music (I hate it when people do that to me!).
Rock on...

... And I'll start off. I have been going to concerts since I was 6 years old
(John Denver...ack!). I will lsiten to most anything except country (though
I kinda like the fiesty Reba McEntire). I like old Fleetwood Mac, CSN,
Beatles, Led, some modern/dance music, and some Harry Connick Jr.
Am I the only one who has discovered the acoustic goddess Ani DiFranco? I hope
not. She is incredible and her lyrics are so honest and real and funny.
Get her "Not A Pretty Girl" CD, you will love it.

CD's I listen to over and over:
Michelle Shocked - "Arkansas Traveller"
Balanescu Quartet - "Possessed"
The Horseflies - "Human Fly"
Rosalie Sorrels - "Report from Grimes Creek"
The Morells - "Shake and Push"
Sheila Chandra - "The Zen Kiss"
Carl Orff - "Carmina Burana"
Outback - "Dance the Devil Away"
Paul Simon - "Graceland"
Laurie Anderson - "Big Science"
I guess that would be my ten favorite disks of all time, though I have some
doubt of which Laurie Anderson and which Sheila Chandra disk belong on the
list.

My sort of top list:
Rose chronicles= shiver
Moon seven times (any cd, actually by them)
Lisa Germano - Geek the girl
Tori Amos - Little Earth quakes
R.E.M. - Automatic for the people (and, to be honest any other REM-cd)
Swans - Children of God
Cure - Faith
and so on.
Ofcourse this is the state of the art, so in a year this list
may have changed.

I couldn't even begin to rate them. So I'll just tell you what I listen
to as it occurs to me.
Right now in my car (which is where I do the most listening these days)
I have two CD's - "Candles in the Rain" by Melanie (that's from about
1970, and is much tied into my [and Katie's] youth) and the new one with
the West Side Story covers done by current popular artists. I've always
loved the Melanie, and only recently was able to find it on CD. So if
you see me driving around A2 with the windows mostly rolled up and look
like I'm singing, I'm probly singing along to that. The other one is a
little uneven. There are some real dull numbers, and a couple pretty
cool ones. I mostly bought it for the Little Richard version of "I Feel
Pretty." The best track is actually (in my opinion) the rap version of
"Gee Officer Krupke" with Salt N Pepa, among others.

I vaguely recall Melanie from our "Sounds of teh Seventies" records. I was
more in the era of 8-tracks. I for one happen to love the Roches, and it seems
no one my age has heard of them. I could listen to their "Nurds" CD for days.
I don't think I know anyone who doesn't like at least some of REM. There is
a Swedish band called The Cardigans that has a freaky, somewhat goofy CD
out... the best song there is "Carnival". It's one of those CDs that you
wonder why you bought it at first, then it grows on you.

I've got a lot of early Roches - "The Roches", "Keep On Doing" and
"Nurds" are my three favorites.

My Moody Blues CD "Days of Future Passed" I can't seem to get enough of.
Yanni, Dare to Dream and Reflections of Passion are both very great as is
John Tesh live at Red Rocks.
I last saw The Roches on SNL about 15 yrs ago. I loved them, but never could
find any of their albums.

Soundtracks tend to dominate my collection, but I also love classical, big
band/swing, 80's music (oh my god...it's a category now!!!), classic rock,
new age, musicals, weird stuff like techno/industrial, and soft stuff like
Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan...oh yeah...I like some disco and funk too.

One CD that I listen to a lot and have since it came out is the
Cowboy Junkies "The Trinity Sessions"...it was their first album
and recorded entirely in a church up in Canada somewhere. There are
one or two original songs on it, but mostly its the Junkies doing
classic songs like "misguided angel"

My CD collection ranges from Ravi Shankar to The Moody Blues. Eclectic is
probably the best way to describe it.

Is there anyone out there who is in the know about the classical
electronic music in the area? (or "New Music"?) Mostly dissonant
stuff 'built' on those lovely bohemoth computers hidden somewhere
in the music department of U of M... Drop 1 name Mike Angell
(known as The Angel of Death) ??? .

I love the songs "Hunted" and "Anniversary Song" by the Cowboy Junkies, both
on the Pale Sun Cresecent Moon CD. And I just plain love the name Cowboy
Junkies!
...high-fiving Meg... I'm so glad I am one!

My favorite song of all time is by La Tour. It is called "Blue."
My favorite composer of all time is Curly MC. He authored and produced
the Enigma and Enigma 2 projects.
I tried coming up with a favorite CD but couldn't. I love so many different
CDs so much that I couldn't make a comparison.

Re: #1 Beeswing, you are not the only one to have discovered Ani Defranco,
my roomie is from New York and a huge fan of hers, Ani came to my school and
I went to see her, she is a great performer, in total our group has five of
her CD's.
Otherwise, my faviorite music right now, well what is in my CD player
at this very moment it the soundtrack from Braveheart, but I listen to
Erasure, Everything but the Girl, alot of classical and show tunes, well lets
just say a wide variety of things...

Vanessa, I'd like to know more about "classical electronic music".
I'm not sure I've ever heard that.

Never seen Ani live. But she sounds sooo nice and real. Not sure about that
haircut tho. I love the very end of the "Not A Pretty Girl" CD, where she's
rehearsing her "Tiptoing thought the used condomns" poem and messes up 3
times, knocking whatever it was she knocked over.

Dead Can Dance-Into the Labyrinth is in the Computer now. But when things
go bad I need Hunger on the Sahara Blue CD by Hector Zazou.
