What Are You Listening To II: Whole Lotta Music

[Nel_Annette]

Devin Townsend - Epicloud

First time listening to any of Devin's stuff. I'm loving this. I love when you can get so many different kinds of songs on an album, and yet they go together so well. Hell, they even segue into each other fantastically here. It's like a musical roller coaster. Regret not getting into this guy's stuff sooner.

Mindless Self Indulgence - "Fuck Machine" (Flock of Jimmy's Remix)
The original of this song when compared to this remix is like a difference between night and day. Quite a change in context!

Todd's newest review was the first time I ever had the notion to check out "The Harlem Shake" and... I think I agree with him. It does kind of suck.

Only, I can't agree with him on "Turn Down for What." Which I guess is my cue to say: I could get behind dubstep... but I think it's time to send trap back to the factory. It's not done cooking.

Status Quo- "Unspoken Words"

The Sonics - Boss Hoss

Alanis Morissette- "Baba"

Damn, this almost has a shoegazey feel to it.

Dick Dale - Surfing Drums

No idea why this album is given so little credit.

Alanis Morissette- "One"

Way better than either U2 or Metallica's songs of the same name.

Love Alanis. But, I've never heard either of these songs.

They're from her follow-up to Jagged. It's a pretty cool album, and that was my first time listening. It won't be my last.

Ahh: Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. I only have a few tracks from the album, but they're all incredible- "Front Row," "That I Would Be Good," "Are You Still Mad," and the singles- "So Pure" and "Thank U."

Some of her better stuff after SFIJ should have been singles- "21 Things I Want in a Lover." I don't know why they weren't.

Brian Setzer - Far Noir East

overkill- "Live Young, Die Free"

Making a Forrest Gump soundtrack mix-CD, because of course the only interesting thing about the movie is the music, and even though there is easily an hour of extra songs (a CD will only fit 80 minutes) my goal is to best boil the movie's chosen songs into 1 disc's worth. 79 minutes. Here's what I have and what I downloaded but have decided to cut:

Making the Cut:
1. "For What It's Worth"
2. "Sweet Home Alabama"
3. "Break On Through (to the Other Side)"
4. "Respect"
5. "Fortunate Son"
6. "Let's Get Together"
7. "Land of 1000 Dances"
8. "Hey Joe"
9. "California Dreamin'"
10. "Hound Dog"
11. "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There is a Season)"
12. "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head"
13. "Mrs. Robinson"
14. "Stoned Love"
15. "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)"
16. "Rebel Rouser"
17. "Go Your Own Way"
18. "Everybody's Talkin'"
19. "Volunteers"
20. "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)"
21. "On the Road Again"
22. "Joy to the World"
23. "Medley: Aquarius / Let the Sunshine In"
24. "Blowin' in the Wind"
25. "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"

Being Cut:
"Against the Wind"
"All Along the Watchtower"

"It Keeps You Runnin'"
"I've Got to Use My Imagination"
