What music are you listening to right now?

A group called the Generationals - really good stuff.

Titanium f/Sia by David Guerra. Was a hit in 2011, but seems to be coming back for another run.

Feeling a little tense right now. Especially with the though of anyone listening to David Guetta.

Severed, by Slam

My niece is practicing the piano.

OP David Byrne's American Utopia is also available on CD, vinyl and download.

R5 I plan on getting it. It's too bad Talking Heads will never reunite. I'd love to see them altogether. Despite David 'writing' all the martial Tina had a huge part in the sound of the music. Her bass playing is inimitable.

Do y'all listen with earbuds or headphones or what?

Edward Sharp

Debussy Images for piano

Just a couple of minutes ago ..

Zaz - Je cruz

There are so many things I might hate about this, but no need to give, even. I love her voice

*Je veux

Africa by Toto is on my iTunes

R12 I’ve been listening to Africa by Toto, and about 10 covers on You Tube this week. Can’t get it out of my head.

For Sure by Future Islands, Temple by Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, Seventeen by Sharon Van Etten, Long in the Tooth by The Judos Band.

I just listened to Claudio Abbado's 1977 recording of Mahler's Second Symphony. He, Lenny B, and Michael Tilson-Thomas are my favorite Mahler conductors.

Was Abbado a gay?

Computer speakers, r7.

Sturgill Simpson’s Sound and Fury. Very angry, apocalyptic and rocking!!

I have eclectic musical tastes. I'm listening to two stations form the Coachella Valley (Southern California). The stations are: KGAY, and KWXY, online. They've helped to keep my sanity, in these times.

I'm listening to a lot of music coming out of Francophone countries at the moment. It's much better than what passes for pop music coming out of the US.

Also listening to a lot of stuff on KEXP. They showcase some excellent musicians who would otherwise not get a look in. Highly recommended.

Soul Mining by The The

1967 was a FAR better year for music than 1977.

Exile on Main Street

Dire Straits’ excellent 2nd LP on vinyl, “Communique”. Blasting thru my new Kanto speakers.

Post-punk (darkwave) Turkish band, She Past Away.

I was listening to the B-52 a crazy amount in the earlier Covid times. I guess I just wanted to play things in general that were cheerful. Now I have switched over to listening to classic rock radio. It reminds me of childhood, and makes me feel warm and happy. I will put on the radio when I'm cooking and it makes it more fun. I like not knowing what's going to play next.

Other than that, a shit ton of jazz.

New Roisin Murphy ("Roisin Machine") and Annie ("Dark Hearts"),

For some reason had the urge to hear The Clash’s Combat Rock, not even my favorite Clash album.

Depeche Mode

OP - there's a whole threat on Talking Heads as well. I thought American Utopia was beautiful. I saw it in concert as well. I can't stop thinking that this could have been a Talking Heads reunion if David Byrne and Chris & Tina were to bury the hatchet. They could have played arenas. As an aside, Remain In Light turned 40 years old two weeks ago.

R27, yes, that's a good one too!

Now: Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill

Next: Carpenters- Trying to Get That Feeling Again

"Sticky Fingers"

I've been listening to Van Morrison lately. This one's perfection, I've had it on repeat.

I'm listening to the sublime Kathleen Battle and Jessye Norman sing Vangelis's "Mythodea."

I have my Bose earphones on and it's magnificent.

Andy Bell's new solo album "The View From Halfway Down".

^ R36 here, I should have clarified, not Andy Bell from Erasure. Andy Bell from shoegaze group Ride.

rem Chronic Town Fables of the reconstruction Reckoning

R20 Soul Mining by The The is one of the best lesser known album from the 1980s.

"Thanks For Saving My Life" by Billy Paul

"Windmills of Your Mind" by Dusty Springfield

"Burn Down The Mission" by Elton John

"This Masquerade" by the Carpenters

Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain

Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville

A Tribe Called Red.

R35 I agree, great headphones are the way to go.

Great thread.

Carry on and list the music you’ve been listening to.

Probably not a DL fav, but I've been dancing in my apartment to The Sex Pistols. Candy-O by The Cars is also a banger of an album.

Demarco Flamenco - Una pequeña historia

Florist Vacation

This. Its got a beat and you can dance to it.

Tom Misch.

"How the West Was Won" Led Zeppelin

Bruce Springsteen's "Growing Up"

...which led to "Thunder Road" and "Jungleland." Next, BTR...all the best this morning.

"I Just Called to Say I Love You"

John Fullbright

R13

I hope you've heard this version of 'Africa'.

I'm listening to Jane Monheit.

What are they doing with their hands, r54? The song starts at 2:13.

From Africa r54 to Del Mar, Pacific Palisades, Redondo Beach LA...

R55

Creating the sound of rain.

WWOZ. The Sound of New Orleans.

After listening to r56, the Beach Boys on shuffle on iTunes.

Reincarnated by Rein. Sounds like she stumbled on her dad's Nitzer Ebb record collection.

"Michigan", a song by The Milk Carton Kids.

Here is a great live cover by Joshua Lee Turner and Chase Eagleson.

The Flaming Piano on YT has caught my eye recently (& I don't care much for instrumentals).

It's nice to see the visuals while the song is being played (it reminds me of Space Invaders).

They also have a Bryan Adams "Heaven:" piano remix as 1 of their more modern tunes.

The Debbie Gibson Super Remix (62+ minutes long).

Mavis Staples - We Get By (among others on this album)

Christopher Hopkins (a.k.a. The Makeoverguy on YT) posted an entire album of standards recently.

Can A deeply underappreciated rock group. So called 'Krautrock' bands like Can, Neu, and Faust were huge influences on Anglophone musicians. You can hear a lot of their influence especially in rock music from the '90s onwards.

Sugar Lime Blue sings "El Chubacabra".

Chase Eagleson sings "Hey Ya" by Outkast

Club Zero - The Go-Go's

New music from Woodkid released yesterday ...

Linda Ronstadt and Nelson Riddle.

So the usual mixed bag. All the reviews said On Fire was better than Galaxy 500's debut, which before I bought it and on first listen I didnt believe, but it's got under my skin and now I hear the nuances I would agree. It's a record that will always be with me and I will return to it again and again.

Thanks for sharing your selections. I hadn’t heard of some of these performers.

Miles Kane: Rearrange.

I'm checking out Garbage's Strange Little Birds. I totally forgot about them, and this album came out 4 years ago, but I'm sorta digging it.

This should've been the lead single off of their poor selling 1989 album.

Rock This Boat = Thompson Twins

One Love

Dedicated

"Bailando" - Enrique Iglesias (featuring Descemer Bueno & Gente De Zona)

Late 90s atmospheric jungle mixtapes on the youtube channel ‘Ambiance’

LCD Soundsystem and I just realized this album is ten years old. I really should make more of an effort to listen to new music. Or at least new to me. I'll have to check out some of the stuff in this thread.

Kevin Abstract's Empty has been playing on a continuous loop in my head for like a week now. The tune is surprisingly catchy and the video is obviously awesome.

Stunning cover

The amazing Baby Driver Soundtrack - This is the Debra track by Beck.

I'm listening to (and loving) Old Crow Medicine Show.

OCMS is great, R130

Old Crow Medicine Show are fantastic. Their live album, 50 Years of Blonde on Blonde, is a live version of the Bob Dylan album. Very much worth owning.

Thank you R131 and R132! They are new to me, so I'm enjoying learning about them. I will check that album out!

Why is the truth so hard to say? An overlooked gem.

Bonnie Raitt - One Belief Away

A new Pete Burns/Dead or Alive cover

Some Halloween tunes....

Classic from Ozzie Kevin Johnson

Monster Mash - Reina del Cid

This 3 act 80s mashup

I'll be listening to this for the rest of the night

The new Bruce Springsteen album, Letter To You. It's remarkable.

Here & Now...

went to some classical yesterday. Schumann 3rd symphony, that incredible 4th movement, so Wagnerian with the trombones and such. Gives me chills. Open intervals--almost sounds like Sibelius at one point!

I've been listening to more trance music lately =

This:

Ronan Keating

I just came across this today...

Body & Soul by openly gay Michael Feinstein

The Bangle's Ride The Ride...

The Bangle's Ball N Chain....

Song For A Good Son

I'll Never Be Through With You

I've been weirdly soothed by an advertising jingle "Bigger Than Xmas" it just kinda sums up this crappy year with some much needed humour.

"Heaven Is A Place On Earth"

the metal guitar cover

We Got The Beat at the '16 Billboard Awards...

Club Zero from August of this year =

This =

Lots of old electronic music by Tangerine Dream and Wendy Carlos.

You Are Not Alone

We're Gonna Make It

Eastern European gypsy dirges, in addition to Björk.

Lola Beltran

I've been listening to Spotify mixes like "Late Night Vibes" "indie Chill out"

Lots of good bands discovered from these mixes. Like High Highs, OK Kaya, Future Islands, Beach House, Small Black, Wild Nothing, Deerhunter, Big Thief, Sharon Van Etten.

Off topic: I REALLY hate that I'm no longer into finding new music as much as I used to be because it's so fucking accessible now. I mean...it's literally at my fingertips, and I ALMOST don't care. Thank God for Shazam pop-up.

R182, I followed new music religiously in my teens. At some point in my early 20s I started losing interest and then after a couple of years noticed how new everything was when I got back into it. That has happened a few times over the years. I'm now in my late 40s and still get excited over new stuff every now and then. I'm actually happy how old and boring all my earlier pop/rock favorites many times sound now since it makes me realize how things have moved on. It's also always nice to notice how some songs still sound fresh decades later.

Francis Poulenc's Clarinet Sonata

The Runner sounds like they could give ABBA a run for their money...

This one also came out around 2009....

Hard to believe she performed on the original back in 1984 =

Amoraboy has some neat mashups =

I'll take George's voice over anyone on the radio today =

The flip side of R189 =

One of his greatest mashups =
