Podcasts.

Mainly the geek news sorts of things, but right now Italian Language podcasts are getting the most play since I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I go to Italy next week.

In the music category, Shiny Metal Rods, by Aphex Twin is the top most played.

amyc / May 8, 2006 9:49 AM

I've been feeling nostalgic lately. I woke up with Elvis Costello's "Brilliant Mistake" in my head this morning, so I listened to the whole King of America on the way to work. Reminds me of a particularly good time in college.

Last week it was all about the Beatles. Every couple years I go through a phase where that's all I want to listen to. It usually corresponds with a need to reduce a marked increase in my stress level. Rubber Soul is a potent anti-depressant.

It's like 91/93 all over. And since I'm feeling nostalgic (like amyc), there's been a lot of stuff from the early teens. I'm tiring of the wimpy, sensitive, indie girls and boy who can't really belt out a tune.

Gimme a Vedder or a Maynard, please.

Incidentally, both of those bands are here this/next week.

Leah W / May 8, 2006 10:52 AM

Paulette-I hear you. Os Mutantes best-of and a Tropicalia comp that came out this year. I have a crush on Caetano Veloso.

Also, just a ton of Belle and Sebastian. And Johnny Cash Live at Fulsom Prison.

Also, I'm running a little indie rock songs contest, so every time I update the website, I remember 16 more songs I haven't heard recently enough. Sound and Vision! Bowie and Sea & Cake versions!

And Tom Waits a-plenty.

Leah W, that's a great contest you're running. I'm doing something similar but less in depth - just an artist v. artist sort of thing.

spence / May 8, 2006 11:45 AM

How's the Gnarls Barkely album? Does it live up to the hype? I've only heard "Crazy," but thought it was a great song.

DebO / May 8, 2006 11:47 AM

I am listening to my music alphabetically by artist right now, so lately I have been listening to Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Afro-Cuban All Stars, Aimee Mann, American Music Club, and Ani DiFranco. What I like about managing my music via iTunes is being surprised by what comes next, even without shuffling.

"Mushaboom" by Feist.

Dutch101 / May 8, 2006 12:51 PM

I am vacillating wildly between some very mellow Studio One reggae tracks like "First Cut is the Deepest" by Norma Frazer and grindy heavy metal like Nebula and High on Fire.

I love the pod because I can jump from one thing to the other instantly. Porter Wagoner to Lyrics Born to Black Sabbath to the Dead in four simple steps. Really sort of renewed my interest in music altogether.

Erica / May 8, 2006 1:08 PM

I guess I played "Cut Your Hair" by Pavement 56 times -- more than any of the other 6,756 tracks on my iTunes. I'm not even a Pavement fan, but that song is catchy, so I guess I can see why I've played it so much.

PatrickWR / May 8, 2006 1:09 PM

"Hello Control" the new Brandtson album. I hated them when they were uber-emo, I like 'em now that they're experimenting with infectious dance rock.

I am completely incapable of comprehending two inputs which involve words at the same time. Meaning I can't hear anything with words/lyrics and read/write at the same time. One of the two gets filtered out/shut down completely. So, at work, I listen to instrumental or world music. Gaelic or Hindi apparently sound sufficiently different from English that I don't try to understand them.

So, in my current work rotation:
Afro Celt Sound System
Viento De Los Andes
Kumba Mela Experiment
[I found up the last one while listening to the Asian Vibrations webcast, which absolutely rocks.]

For the train (where words won't distract me from what I'm working on):
NPR Podcasts
'80's New Wave/Dance
Robert Earl Keen & Don Walser (Texas Singer-Songwriters)

I can listen to NPR while I work in Quicken and Excel, it seems.
