Music! What are you listening to now?

[L'arriviste]

Waits is the greatest for me too and probably the most quotable person around today to boot.

You can hear all kinds of influences and heritage in there rattling around, but what actually comes out is utterly unique.

Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear Step Right Up (laughter) or Innocent When You Dream (sentimentality).

10 tracks of super groovy brasileira made possible by your friend syncretism.
The best money I ever spent was the tuition for Gerard Behague's under graduate class at the Universtity of Texas on the Music of Brazil and Argentina. Pivotal moment in my musical journey.

That's one of my favorite songs of 2009. Quite good album too.

Right now I'm listening to Dustin O'Halloran - Piano Solos. Very pretty and very sparse, well...piano solos. Peaceful late night music.

Yeah, I'm hearing you on this one! I got interested in Calypso after listening to WFMU one afternoon. They played it back to back and then I started to collect it. Terrific, fun music as well as being a mirror of the times.

If you like watching tricks using dominoes you gotta watch through the end of the Honest Mistake video (not sure it's all real but it's cool anyway)...

Back again to topical favorites:

Seems like the appropriate soundtrack to current cycling politics.

Most of us every day cycle to work Dutch folk tend to have music on when we pedal. I'm guessing that a fair number of you more serious cyclists (or joggers) here listen to music while you're training or just riding. So why not have a music topic where we post what we like, what we're listening to (doesn't exclusively have to be music for on the bike), and maybe turn someone else on to something cool or get turned on to something new?

Sounded like a good idea to me anyway. I'll start off with my main man (there's a really cool story behind this but I'll save it for when/if this topic takes off), Joe Bonamassa

I expect that most, if not all, of you will say, 'who'? He's a 31 year old blues rock guitarist who I think has the potential to become the 'Clapton' of his age, at least as far as reputation is concerned. Joe is awesomely talented, even if you're not a fan of the genre known as 'blues rock'. Joe inhabits the same world as people like Walter Trout, Sonny Landreth, the Allman Brothers, Warren Haynes (Govt. Mule), the late Stevie Ray Vaughan and many others. I urge you to check him out if you're at all a fan of this kind of music.

His website - http://www.jbonamassa.com/ has loads of samples and free music and there is tons of his stuff on youtube. I'll happily recommend songs to start with if anyone is interested.

I listen to Joe practically every day. I absolutely love his stuff! Discovering Joe's music changed my life. No ****. I also listen to Michael Burks, Bonnie Raitt, Dana Fuchs and many others whom none of you will have heard of!

But hey, whatever your taste, whatever you're listening to that you'd like to share because it's just so good, post it here and let's see where it takes us.

Amsterhammer, you da man with that Joe Bonamassa pick. I never considered myself a blues rock fan, but your tip has just snapped my head around. Props to you. Non-believers check out this one:
