The bi-tri-semi-annual-and-a-half tunes post.

What's your playlist, bub? Or song of the moment?

How about telling us a new discovery you've made? Found a kickarse new artist lately? Revived a golden oldie?

What about your musical taste, has that shifted, or stayed the same? Found something that you would have happily betted money on hating slapping you pleasantly in the face?

In short, do tell...

Looking at the songs, I'd like to talk about a few of them.

Babylon Zoo: Spaceman.
Never really remembered much about this except the signature starting line. Never knew it was number one for aeons, so I was surprised at how well it had stood the test of time. Quite fun to listen to.

Hot hot heat: Get in or get out.
So... my cousin comes down and recommends this to me. On hearing the opening bar or two it sounds less than impressive, but it's a real grower. Worth it.

Lovin' Spoonful: Summer in the City.
Always meant to get this. Finally, when I did, I wasn't disappointed. Bloody good song.

Scissor Sisters: Laura.
Funkadelic.

Franz Ferdinand: MatineÃ©.
Good band, actually. A pleasant change to the generic R+B flooding the market at the moment. If you haven't heard it, try to.

Reactor: Feeling the Love.
The music from the Lynx Touch advert, and pretty catchy. Good song.

The Eagles: Hotel California.
Found a brilliant, brilliant live version of it, absolutely superb. Listened to it relentlessly.

PPK: Resurrection.
Damn near forgotten this, too. Recent-ish, very popular tune, but faded away somewhat. I located a shortened version and am enjoying it immensely.

The Thrills: Big Sur.
Best album of last year for me. Stunning, stunning sound.

So, those are what I've found/rediscovered/enjoyed. How about you?

Kids song but, it's fun

I actually saw this musical, Avenue Q, on Broadway and most of those songs are hilarious, and really well written.

Another good song is "The Piano is Like a Woman" by the Black Liars. It's hard to find, but it's genius.

Dart's Playlist

So, in summary, I basically listen to progressive metal/rock, old nu-metal or video game music.

This is my entire music collection.. Some of the folders contain 50+ random songs that fit into the category it's under.. I have to say, it's probably one of the most organized music collections I've seen.. Thank God for MediaMonkey

TheDude · Tue 25/05/2004 23:53:06

Oh yeah, and LGM - "This is my entire music collection.. Some of the folders contain 50+ random songs that fit into the category it's under.. I have to say, it's probably one of the most organized music collections I've seen.. Thank God for MediaMonkey". Not to brag or anything, but:

Every artist has their own folder, under which each album has its own folder. If I have more than one song by an artist, they have their own 'assorted' folder. If I have only one song by an artist, it goes in the 'Assorted' folder...

This is the properties of my mp3 MUSIC folder.Ã,Â So I can't take a screen cap of all the directory ...

Here is the start of my current playlist:

I know it's soft [wussy] music (for the most part) but it helps me relax while I'm working.Ã,Â Plus it's good music and not the crap that passes for music these days.
