Not me...
I am listening to a mixed CD of old David Lee Roth-era Van Halen. I guess you can call it a tip of the glass towards their induction to the Rock and Rolll Hall of Fame, which admittedly is a silly sort of place (although the concept is inherently good)

Far from my favorite, but hadn't listened to it in a long time:

I like pulling the things I had not heard in a long time out for a spin.
Done with the VH, right now I am playing Dimmu Borgir. I did not like this at all when I first got my hands on it (it was burned for me) - but right now I am totally into it. Its loud and raucous, and sounds really good.

Maybe it's because I've never been a die-hard fan, but am I the only person on earth who feels that "Women And Children First" is BY FAR Van Halen's best work?
Anyway, that's what I'm listening to.

The Stranglers Greatest Hits 1977-1990.
Note: If you listen to the Soggy Bottom Boys you might want to try listening to the real deal by picking up a Stanley Brothers cd.

I take the Stanley Brothers are who The Soggy Bottom boys are lip-synching to in the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
"Walking Down The Beaches, Lookin' At The Peaches" - Brandy, you should rent the movie Sexy Beast - good movie with a good opening to "Peaches" by The Stranglers.

The latest offering from Slayer, which is a nice way to start the day at work. This stuff cranks, especially at 7:49AM.

I am listening to different bits from the Frosty, Heidi, and Frank show on Free-FM Los Angeles, for no particular reason at all. 971freefm.com/pages/1249.php?

Ohhh JESUS, Tom!!!! Frosty Heidi and Frank are BRUTAL!!!!!!!
I wish that Johnny B were still on. Johnny B (Jonathan Brandmeier) used to be on after Howard here in LA some 8, 9 years ago. He was really funny...and then for some reason he was dropped and replaced with Frosty, Heidi, and Frank.

Heidi is a lesbian.
I stumbled on there when checking out the guys who do 11PM-3AM over there. They are syndicated live in the overnights on the FREE-FM station here. I was just pointing and clicking last week, I dont really think I will be back very often to the stylings of Frosty, Heidi, and Frank.

So yesterday I was bouncing around podcastalley.com, looking for some podcasts to poke through, and I found some vintage radio stuff. Sherlock Holmes serials from the Rathbone/Nigel Bruce days. I burned one into my MP3 player to listen to on the rail ride in this morning.
Originally broadcast in April, 1946, it was the "Sherlock Holmes and the Waltz.....of Death!" Turns out every time this particular waltz is played at a ball, someone is shot and killed. Quite the plot twist in this lurid tale, all wrapped up in a cool 33 minutes, and sprinkled with some vintage advertisments for Petry Wines in San Fran, California. The guy reading the ads even had some byplay with Watson (Nigel Bruce), telling him he had "a case of his own" and when Watson asked its particulars, he confessed it was simply "a case of Petry wines."

Back in the day I was a noted Loverboy fan. Owned the first 3 platters, and enjoyed them to the fullest. Time went by, and they simply became something I heard on the radio here and there. Last year I bought a Best of Loverboy CD from Amazon used for like 3 bucks. Got a good amount of use on it, especially on the kitchen radio while washing a dish or two, before it fell behind the fridge. I am in no mood to pull out the fridge to save this thing. Rather than get another "Best of" offering, I figured I would just get used CDs of the first couple of Loverboy offerings, the ones that I rocked out to. So I started with the debut disc, got it for a total of $5 including shipping, and I will move on to "Get Lucky" next. So, right now, proudly in the kitchen radio, is the debut from this seminal rock legend.

Loverboy - cool band, rock legends yes, but seminal? In what way? I wouldn't really consider that band as having paved the way for any other bands.
I think Trouser Press tends to hand out the term "seminal" quite liberally, when in fact the number of really seminal bands is much lower.
But in regards to your listening choice - I like it! Cool band.

Cho, you're probably right, regarding the seminal thing. I just threw that word in there, to be blunt I was never sure of its meaning. It was simply a cool prefix to me. But enough of that. Oh, and good pick there, JimmyBig. I actually have that bad boy on vinyl, and will end up sizzling that up on my album-to-disc/mp3 burner. I am listening to GIANT SQUID. They are called a combination of System of a Down (vocalist) to Tool, with some Neurosis mixed in. Its a slow burn at time, a long trippy journey at others. On Amazon some people compare them to Floyd and Zep as well. Amazing band, cant stop spinning this disc since I got it for under 3 bucks on Amazon used.

Funny you should mention not knowing the meaning of the word "seminal" Tom. Some years ago someone gave me a copy of the Trouser Press' Alternative Edition. Reading through it, looking up random bands I kept seeing the word pop up. Every fucking band was seminal to the Trouser Press. I had no idea what seminal meant, I looked it up, and quickly called malarky on the Trouser Press' claims to bands being seminal, to anyone who would listen. Now I examine the use of that word with a fine tooth comb and most often it turns out not to be the case. I distinctly remember reading an online review from a Florida newspaper of Mos Def way back, and for some odd reason the author decided to compare and contrast Mos Def to Elvis Presley, ultimately making the claim that Mos Def was more seminal than Elvis. Being a huge Elvis fan this angered me to no end...so I wrote in angry F-You letter to the reviewer, telling him he was clueless and had no business reviewing music...and to the guys credit he published it and actually engaged with somewhat of a retraction in his response.

Good stuff. Right now I am prepping for tonights Ludichrist/Scatterbrain reunion show by scarfing through my cassette collection. Scatterbrain's "Beer Muscles" is one of the greatest songs ever penned.

Scatterbrain! The only CD of theirs I have is the one with Don't Call Me Dude and Down with the Ship. I think it's called I'm with Stupid?

Wrong! Try again!
Actually, its called "Here Comes Trouble." Some of their best work. And their most critically acclaimed. The video for Don't Call Me Tude, which can be found easily enough on MySpace or YouTube, is the funniest video ever shot, methinks.
9, why aren't you at this show? Shame.
