What are you listening to right now?

[minionofmidas]

A tape with recordings of Brecht songs (including Brecht himself singing "Mackie Messer") and some Jacques Brel.

[minionofmidas]

local hero, Reverend Schulzz. First Division Town is the title of the record, and as I only just put it on, I'm currently listening to track one, Bob Dylan's Nose

[minionofmidas]

Beck.

[minionofmidas]

The last thing I've listened to seemed to be a Polish or maybe Czech version of Sittin at the Dock of the Bay, sung and played on the guitar by a busker on Hauptwache.

[minionofmidas]

Uncle Tupelo, the "March" album.

[minionofmidas]

Prollchor (click enter, then "multimedia")

[minionofmidas]

Nothing right now, but all day yesterday I've been playing John Lee Hooker and Pete Tosh records up and down.

[minionofmidas]

Lol, at first I read "onions" instead of "unions".

[minionofmidas]

Ice-T's O.G.Original Gangster album. Those were the days... quality hardcore rap... I miss those days...

Robert Johnson - Hellhound on My Trail

Now that's a coincidence. I'm listening to Johnson myself right now. Come on in my Kitchen playing at the moment.

Ballad of Curtis Low

[minionofmidas]

Roughest Neck Around, by the Corb Lund Band

He got a real long reach in the derrick when he leans
He's been all around the world on the big oil rigs
With the welders and the trucks on the black gold rush
And the diesel burnin' Cat motors growlin' and the mud

You'd better hire him on, he's the roughest neck around
He got the power in his hands to pull the dragons from the ground
Yeah.

It's 35 below or its 98 above
And he's workin' thru it all, cuz baby this is what he loves
Drives a hundred-fifty miles make sure his kids are doin' fine
And he sees 'em when he can but he's married to his iron

You'd better hire him on, he's the roughest neck around
He got the power in his hands to pull the dragons from the ground
Yeah.

He's a good hand to have on, and he's throwin' on the tongs
Spinnin' chain and slidin' high side all night long
And he's tripping in his pipe, and he torques it good and tight
And ya gotta figure Eddy's got his mud weight right

You'd better hire him on cuz he's better than the rest
He got the power in his hands and the dragons in his chest
Yeah.

Well, his mind's a little tired but his back is plenty strong
Got his green kings and filthy frozen coveralls on
And he's drilling by the inch and he's hauling on the winch
Takin' fuel from the tanks on his short change shift

You'd better hire him on, he's the roughest neck around
He got the power in his hands to pull the dragons from the ground
Yeah, you'd better hire him on cuz he's better than the rest
He got the power in his heart and the dragons in his chest
Yeah.

He brings power to the people
Power to the people
Cuz he's the roughest neck around
He's pullin' dragons from the ground
Power to the people [last line repeated at nauseam, and guess what song it reminds you of]

[minionofmidas]

Sonic Youth, Sister

[minionofmidas]

"I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me" - Fall Out Boy

Lol.

[minionofmidas]

Queen/David Bowie - Under Pressure

better song than any that either of these artists ever did on their own...

The latter is wrong, because uhhhh....Bohemian Rhapsody.

But this song HAS been cycling through my head all weekend.

It IS better than Ice, Ice, Baby.

Ah, but Ice Ice Baby is like a poisonous mushroom - deadly!

[minionofmidas]

Shy Guy Douglas.

[minionofmidas]

Reverend Schulzz - Bob Dylan's Nose (which is actually a sad love song, and nothing whatsoever to do with Bob Dylan)

[minionofmidas]

Hobo Humping Slobo Babe

I forget who that's by, but I remember the video. Back in the day, the only word in the song title I understood was "babe". I still don't understand "slobo" (except as short for Slobodan)

[minionofmidas]

Iggy & the Stooges, "Search and Destroy", from whence comes part of my current username.

[minionofmidas]

David Bowie - "Life On Mars?"
The Killers - "Mr. Brightside"
Coldplay - "Fix You"
Pearl Jam - "Alive"
U2 - "Where the Streets Have No Name"

I haven't downloaded much new music lately.  (Anyone wanna give me suggestions?  Which album by The Clash should I get first?)

London Calling, followed by The Clash. These are the only ones you need.

[minionofmidas]

Iggy & the Stooges, "Search and Destroy", from whence comes part of my current username.

Ah, Raw Power. Great album.

Hüsker Du - She Floated Away (Live)

Nah, an Iggy greatest hits compilation it was actually.
