It was definitely one of the best concerts i've attended. Its a shame Geddy Lee's voice isn't what it used to be, he still managed to hit a few high notes though.

Highlights of the concert were Neal Peart's drum solo (of course), First part of 2112 (was wishing they would have kept going and plowed through the entire song), however they did play Moving Pictures album start to finish, which was cool.

If you've never seen them before you MUST go.

Beck- Pay no mind

Brilliant!

Arcade Fire - the Suburbs: their best yet
The xx - XX: admired them from afar and a late comer but thought that I should indulge after their Mercury award. Fantastically atmospheric, perhaps like a hybrid between Sigur Ros and Arcade Fire.

I liked the first she and him album, might have to get hold of that.



Can't stop listening to the delays- star tiger star ariel, the best album I've heard in about 5 years

 

[King of the Mountain]

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, w

OOOoooopss! Sorry. I'm new to this and I think I just 'trampled' on somebody elses input. As long as I'm here, ...
I listen to LOUD techno-dance mixes while I ride. It gets me movin'!

I'm very uncertain where this will put me taste wise, but lately I have been inspired to a little bit of Johnny Cash. Don't know anything about him, but I kind of liked what I heard.

So what is the generel oppinion out there, Is Johnny Cash Classy? or did I just commit musical suicide?

Hey, music is a personal choice. If you like him, you like him. Don't let anyone tell you different. I didn't know much about him until after watching Walk the Line and now I am a fan. But I like nearly anything, from classical to heavy metal, so I am easy to please.

Cash, in my opinion, is Amazing. (capitol A intentional). And I generally listen to metal, harsh industrial and similar 'extreme' tunes. Depending on the period and the song, his music can make you think (When the Man Comes Around), can help you ride or run (Ghost Riders in the Sky, Rawhide), or simply make a good musical background for a relaxed chat with a friend or two (Crazy,...). With one of the two possibly being Jack Daniels.

And now for my selection. I don't have my mp3 on when I ride outdoors, of course. So, it's birds, wind, and the crunchy sounds the gravel makes under my bike's wheels.

For the indoors trainer and for jogging, I tend to use music with good, steady beats - but the kind that can 'keep me involved'. I'd suggest Infected Mushroom's Vicious Delicious album or their unreleased (but easy enough to acquire) The Doors Remixed. And when I'm doing intervals, something a bit more agressive like Unter Null or even some Dutch hardcore techno - I use the fast beats to focus on the 'dash' part and just tune out the music during the 'chill' part.

Weight training is a tricky one - I suppose this is really down to what motivates you best at the moment. Sometimes I'll put on death metal, sometimes harsh noise, and sometimes Celtic rock or even straightforward bagpipe music - seriously!

And right now, I've got Miles Davis' Kind of Blue playing

I'll think you'll like the second album as well, I did.

Anyway, got the Darkside of the moonshine album from Poor Man's Whiskey, great album, lthough not as much funny as was the case in their previous album. Although musically the new album probably is better, I do not enjoy it as much as their older offerings, probably due to the fact that they are going more regular pop/rock tone with many of their songs

Anyway, here is the start of the dark side part of the album:

Another vote for Johnny Cash. I love his last set of releases. I bought "The Man Comes ARound" yesterday, and it absolutely had me in tears.

I saw Roberta Flack do "The First Time Ever I saw your face" in concert years ago, and it was a young woman singing about falling in love. Last night I heard Cash sing it, an old man looking back. Lots of tears.....

Like hearing him sing, "Death Where is thy sting" -- an old man on the verge of death himself....

It also shows how good these songs are, that they lend themselves to so very many different interpretations and perspectives.

More awesomeness from Johnny Cash - his covers of younger artists. His version of The Mercy Seat is to Nick Cave what Cave's version of Disco 2000 is to Pulp's original. Gives it a whole new life. And Hurt... just wow.

 

[Bike Boy]

So I guees Johnny Cash is popular. Nice to know. His style is far away from what i usually hear, but for some reason I caught my self enjoying it.

Maybe I will purchase some of his music.
