What's in your CD player?

[jazzytrav]

This isn't the album I'm listening to right now... the Astrud Gilberto album I'm listening to is "The Girl from Ipanema". I can't post that album cover cos it's a little racy.

 

Basically, it's 2 a.m. and I can't fall asleep. Astrud Gilberto is what happens when that happens.

I can't think of anything in this world that I would rather fall asleep to than Astrud Gilberto's voice.

I just picked up these 6 the other day. I had some time to kill and was near the used CD store.

Sorry, they were all out of Polyphonic Arcade Furnace's latest.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

I've probably said it before, but it's getting another spin, so I'll say it again. (Expect Love Is Hell next, guys.)

Pearl Jam - "Riot Act"

I still think it is a very, very, very underrated PJ album.

[burniebrewer]

Not that it will interest anyone here, but I want to play too...I've been looking for this CD for quite some time and found it used today:

Some good ol' late 80s metal.

[gypcasino]

Since it's inevitable anyway I'll cancel out Burnie's stale ole metal with something hipsterish even though it's nowhere near my CD player.

Bon Iver- For Emma, Forever Ago An absolutely brilliant album for the songwriter from Eau Claire. Although I have a ton of new stuff to listen to, I can't seem to stop playing it.

[brettac1]

For Emma honestly may be my most played album ever. Today I was listening to the recording of his show last night in DC that I burned. Awesome. Some of the songs sound even better live than on the album. The tour kick-off show in EC was fantastic, especially.

[jloos19]

Yeah, I was really excited that he signed with Jagjaguwar as his record label. They are gradually becoming my favorite record label, with the likes of Okkervil River, Black Mountain, and The Besnard Lakes also on it.

[burniebrewer]

Thanks for burning my vibe, Gyp.

 

I figured 264 posts of stuff I don't know in this thread...I may as well throw something out there no one else knows, right?

[brettac1]

I was really glad they released it on vinyl since I already had the self-released CD - the artwork and stuff is just so much cooler on that one than the one Jagjag did.

 

Secretly Canadian is my favorite label, but they and Jagjaguwar are under the same roof, so it's cool.

Stuff White People Like #41

"If you want to understand white people, you need to understand indie music. As mentioned before, white people hate anything that's "mainstream" and are desperate to find things that are more genuine, unique, and reflective of their experiences.

Fortunately, they have independent music.

A white person's iPod (formerly CD collection) is not merely an assemblage of music that they enjoy. It is what defines them as a person. They are always on the look out for the latest hot band that no one has heard of so that one day, they can hit it just right and be into a band BEFORE they are featured in an Apple commercial. To a white person, being a fan of a band before they get popular is one of the most important things they can do with their life. They can hold it over their friends forever!

Indie music also produces a lot of concerts, for which white people can attend and meet other white people. It's especially useful, since they are attending the same concert, they both like the artist and can easily strike up a conversation that will flow from band at the show->other bands they like->where they went to/go to school->where to get the best vegan food in town->agreement to meet at said restaurant for awkward date.

It is worth noting that white people are expected to stay current with music and go to concerts well into their 40s. Unlike at dance or hip hop clubs, there are few stigmas attached to being the "old guy at the club."

But BE WARNED, talking about Indie Music with white people is perhaps the most dangerous subject you touch upon. One false move and you will lose their respect and admiration forever. Here are some general rules

Bands that have had their songs in an Apple ad are still marginally acceptable
Bands that have had their songs in ads for other companies are not acceptable
If you mention a band you like and the other person has heard of them, you lose. They own you. It is essential that you like the most obscure music possible.
Remember, popular artists can turn unpopular in a heartbeat (Ryan Adams, Bright Eyes, The Strokes), so you would be best to stick to the following statements: "I love the Arcade Fire," "I still think the Montreal scene is the best in the world," "I would die without Stereogum or Fluxblog"* and "Joanna Newsom is maybe the most original artist today."

*-do not substitute Stereogum for Pitchfork, as this is one of those things that used to be cool, but is now not cool."
