Whats playing on your system today?

Deadmau5...but my listening is all over the board...Laurie Anderson...Dire Straits...Nine Inch Nails...Martyn Bennett...Aphex Twin...Roxy Music....Nilsson...Little Feat...The Art of Noise....Randy Newman...Fred Neil...Blue Rodeo....Stabbing Westward...The Tubes...things you'd recognize...things you won't....

One hit wonders...remixes of a single selection, just for 'comparison's sake' (Sneaker Pimps' "6 Underground" is a good example)...LOUD...soft...complex...simple...

Sorry, not much in the way of 'dead white Europeans', although it's appreciated that all stands upon their shoulders.  But I/we do go to the symphony when something of interest is on the bill.  That's always better 'live', as was always intended for the form....

I like variety in my diet. ;)

asvjerry,

I have great respect for variety.  We have the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.

Thanks for mentioning The Tubes. I saw them years ago at Bogarts in Cincinnati. Fee Wabill came into the audience during the performance and took my friends Fosters Lager from him and chugged it, autographed it and went back on stage.  

Also a big NIN fan, Little feat. Dire Straits too. I'll explore some of your other selections as well. 
 
Today I listened to Toto, "Hydra ", entire albumn. 
Also Candlebox  S/T. I particularly like the song "Rain".

Buddy Guy - Heavy Love

re: peter holsapple--i forgot about the continental drifters (his project with the girl from the cowsills!). "vermillion" was the one i remember as being noteworty. as for chris stamey, i useta wear the hell out of "wonderful life", "it's alright ( a slicker major label lp) and the "instant excitement" ep--none of these are on spotify, but very well worth tracking down on ebay or wherever--in contrast to his later, wispier stuff, i still remember these songs 30+ years later.

speaking of great songwriters with bad voices, i've been listening to steve earle's latest, terraplane. the guy's obviously made a pact with the devil--all that heroin and hard living and he still hasn't lost the knack. "go go boots are back" may be the best song he's written.
likewise, game theory's "lolita nation" (just reissued). the late scott miller's reedy voice is an acquired taste (i dig it), but he was a great, smart pop writer and anyone into  big star/dbs/posies will worship this.

The good Rats, "Tasty" and "Cherry River".
