Listening While Reading

[subterranean]

I always turn in to "MY STATION" on Yahoo Launch everytime I'm browsing the internet..

At the moment, I'm listening to The Cure's Splintered in Her Head (from the Join the Dots...)


And you all always welcome to check out my station at Launch for great numbers of awesome songs, featuring The Smiths, Dire Straits, Elvis Costello, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Cure, Zwan, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Doors, Stone Temple Pilots, REM, Rage Against the Machine, and lots of more..

So what music you're listening to now when you're reading this post? :)

[Jester]

oooh i love dire straits, what about three dog night, you play them?

im listening to Train on a cd fifteen minutes ago i was listening to Nine Days

[subterranean]

another member who loves prog rock ..cool..:D

i'm listening to Me First and The Gimme Gimmes' Heart of Glass at the moment

[mono]

At the moment, I only listen to the dull hum of my hard drive, but earlier I listened to piano works by Claude Debussy (classical).

[Scheherazade]

I listen to whatever happens to be on my play list for the day while chatting but if I am reading the news or forums, prefer not to listen to anything as it can distract me at times;or I end up not hearing what has been playing at all.

[den]

I've heard of the yahoo channels Scheherazade but never tried, one more distraction I don't think would be a good idea!

If I'm working on the comp I don't listen to anything, but if I'm just chatting I'll listen to tunes I have on my harddrive with winamp. Been listening to new Tom Waits stuff lately :D

[Scheherazade]

I use LimeWire mostly but lately it is causing me lag... Maybe I should consider other options...

[papayahed]

I'm listening to the Beastie Boys (Pauls Boutique). I'm going to the concert tonight so i thought I'd bone up.

[den]

Oooh lucky! <jealous>

I'm going to see the Pixies later this month! been listening a lot to them too.

[Stanislaw]

I uasually am listening to some form of ramstein or stan rogers. Rather odd combination but it works for me.

Right now I am listening to mein herz brent.

[Isagel]

Another one that likes Rammstein!
Right now I´m almost addicted to Los, from their new album Reise reise. It´s on repeat, especially when I´m alone at the office. There is a piece in Los that sounds like Smoke on the water and the combination is fantastic. Do you like Laibach as well? Tanz mit Laibach is a new favorite of mine.

I would never have believed that Laibach would make dance music.

I usually put something familiar one while I'm reading. I've found that I associate parts of a novel with whatever song I was listening to at the time, so later on thinking about/hearing/reading one will make me think of the other. Quite helpful for studying, actually.

Oh, and to actually answer the question, I like to think of my tastes as fairly eclectic, with I Mother Earth, Opeth, The Mars Volta, Nick Drake, Kyuss, The Mingus Big Band, and Rachmaninoff leading the way.

[crisaor]

I'm still hearing Morrisey from the show I went to see just a few hours ago. It was very nice. :cool:

At home, nothing new. Miles Davis's Lift to the Scaffold and U2's Pop, to warm up until their next album comes out (which BTW, has the crappiest name I've heard in years, and it's easily their worst).

[Jester]

right now on my play list sheryl crow is playing, everyday is a winding road... and the next song is simon and garfunkle with cecilia and later i can expects three dog night "jeremiah was a bullfrog" among others and Bob Marley "i can see clearly now the rain is gone..."

oops cecilia just started

i pretty much listen to whatevers in the comp and if nothign is then the playlist i only cahnge the cd every coupld of days or so and jsut play the cd on repeat

[subterranean]

I'm listening to the White Stripe's We're going to be Friends at the moment..So far this lauch thing is been great, gives me good company at work :D...i love it alot..
I used to bring my CDs to work, but not anymore..

[Monica]

at the moment i'm listening to bono+the corrs 'summer wine'. i always listen to u2 while being on this forum. i generally listen to u2 :)

[Basil]

at the moment i'm listening to bono+the corrs 'summer wine'.

Have you heard the song, "Time Enough for Tears?" I think it was written by Bono and performed by the Corrs. It's in the Jim Sheridan movie, In America:

Let's read the trees
And their Autumn leaves
As they fall
Like a dress undone . . .

Beautiful.

[subterranean]

anyone listen to U2's Vertigo?

[Stanislaw]

Right now I am listening to Amerika by Rammstein, pretty cool music video too.

[Jester]

i didn't like that one much, subt

[subterranean]

yeah me too Lizzy Poo..

Darn how come i miss your post Cris

I'm still hearing Morrisey from the show I went to see just a few hours ago. It was very nice.

u went to see morrisey live....?????? How was it...?? tell me...!!!!

[crisaor]

It was very cool, it was the first time I got to see him live. He was part of a festival which included Primal Scream, Blondie (which I got to see also), Death in Vegas, Goran Bregovic, and Pet Shop Boys, among others. The sound was somewhat bad according to the artists and journalists, but being so near the stage I didn't noticed. I think excluding a heavy metal concert I went to see when I was younger, this was the most violent event in the field I attended to (more than when I went to see Oasis, to name an example). That surprised me. I guess Morrisey/Smiths fans are very passionate. ;)
The show itself, although short (it lasted a bit more than an hour and a half, not surprisingly, considering how festivals are), was mindblowing. It consisted in a few songs from You are the Quarry, others from his solo repertoire, and some Smiths classics. To name a few: How Soon Is Now?; First Of The Gang To Die; November Spawned a Monster; I Like You; Bigmouth Strikes Again; Everyday Is Like Sunday; Let Me Kiss You (which he accepted, was "a bad idea" :D), Shoplifters Of The World Unite; Irish Blood, English Heart; The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get; There Is A Light That Never Goes Out (which closed his concert, and after the show, he left playing Sinatra's My Way). Moz himself wore a priest outfit, said some things about Bush (which were widely accepted), made some jokes about his album sells, and gave a very decent performance IMO. Again, it was cool. I was very happy to have attended it. I even got the guitarrist's prong!
Overview: 9 crisaors :)

[subterranean]

You one lukcy bastard :D :D (this is a true compliment ;) )

I havent seen Morrisey live, not even the footage or bootlegs :( :bawling:


That surprised me. I guess Morrisey/Smiths fans are very passionate.

well thats what i read from many of theri concert reviews. Any particular reason why He choose Sinatra's My Way to close the gig?
Last gig i went to was Suede's. Was pretty good as well and i stand at front only a one a half meter away from the stage.. And until now i still remember how smooth Brett Anderson's arms look...And i'm so darn sure that, when the show was over, Alex was lifting up his bottle beers and saying cheers towards me ...

Thanks for the review Cris. I can always count you when it comes to good reviews :wave:

[Monica]

anyone listen to U2's Vertigo?

i'm listening to it right now. can't wait till monday and u2's new album :)

[crisaor]

I havent seen Morrisey live, not even the footage or bootlegs :( :bawling:
That's a shame, but I can relate to that. There's tons of artists I wish I could see live. And this one was my first Morrisey, so maybe you'll get the chance in the near future.

well thats what i read from many of theri concert reviews. Any particular reason why He choose Sinatra's My Way to close the gig?
I think he relates deeply with that song, after all, he's a different artist than the majority, and I'm not referring to music only.

Nice :cool: . You see? Eventually, things even out, like Jerry.
Thanks for your words, Sub. :)

[Shea]

I get to listen to keys tapping and whispers all around me. (I'm usually only online at the library.) But if I could I'd listen to anything classical.

[Jester]

no the hum of the heater seems rather loud, im turning on the radio...

uhoh whiny female rock singer again... (not a sexist comment, am female jsut a fact couls say whiny male rock singer but its a female on)

[subterranean]

Nice :cool: . You see? Eventually, things even out, like Jerry.
Thanks for your words, Sub. :)


ehmm..Jerry ???

No prob about the words..my baddest words are actually my truest compliments :D

[Jessika]

Hm, what do you think if we recommend one song (only one lol) to the others?
we could write a list.

We could also include songs that are not international. For instance, i would recommend you:

"Luna lunera" by Estopa (love that song)

I think we can find them in the kazaa or emule, can't we?
well, tell me what you think :P :angel:

I know there are people who dont like to listen to non-english songs, but i think it's a good idea to know more about other cultures. :rolleyes:

[Taliesin]

Yeah, but you probably do not understand the words. We mean, i.e We are an estonian, but could you understand estonian song lyrics if you were not a finnougrist or if you didn't knew estonian?

But of course We can tell a good estonian song - "Vaadake paremat poolt" by Dagö.

A good song in english - "Wild mountain thyme" - Celtic folk song arr. by John Ross for SATB choir.

We heard it here (http://www.sibeliusmusic.com/cgi-bin/show_score.pl?scoreid=4420&storeid=-1)

[subterranean]

hey as long as the link works..no problem with me..

But please do make sure the link works..

[crisaor]

ehmm..Jerry ???
Jerry Seinfeld. Remember that episode where George does all the oppposite things he'd normally do and hits it off? Elaine on the other hand goes down the hill. Jerry is the only one who always manage to get even. Ok, so maybe it wasn't the best analogy, but it's a fun one. ;)

[subterranean]

yea..each of us has his/her own story indeed ;)

[Niamh]

I sometimes listen to classical music while reading or on the internet. I find it very soothing.

[Lily Adams]

I thought you meant reading a book while listening to music. What? This is a literature forum...I can't do it. My friend can, though, which I think is nuts. She also falls asleep better with the lights on while her boom box is playing music. Crazy lady.

I'm listening to "Total Eclipse" by Klaus Nomi. (My favorite by Klaus) *jams*

I listen other music than DEVO, you know. :p Technically I listen to lots of different music, I just listen to DEVO far more than the others. What can I say?

[Ancasta]

I love listening to classical while I'm reading and Blues/Jazz while in my car.
