Queen, I want to break free. Freddy had one of the best voices ever. Not autotune shit, like these days.

Re: What are you listening to right now ?
This is frighteningly catchy:
It's a collaboration between Mary Elizabeth Winstead (who played Ramona in Scott Pilgrim) and Dan the Automator (the mastermind behind Deltron 3030 and Gorillaz).

Fell in love with a Texan singer called Johnette Napolitano:

Ahhhhh! Pink Floyd's The Endless River. I thought it was probably going to be kinda lame, but, holy shit, this is universal, beautiful music... my favorite new release in quite some time.

Re: What are you listening to right now ?
My first listen I thought it was kinda meh, but since then it's really grown on me. I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, but I always listened to their early and middle stuff, never really listened to The Final Cut, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, or The Division Bell. In the past two weeks I've been listening to those three as well as The Endless River a hell of a lot. They're all fantastic.S. Thompson wrote:Ahhhhh! Pink Floyd's The Endless River.

Re: What are you listening to right now ?
I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. I knew going in that it was leftover material from the Division Bell sessions, but I thought they were going to rework it into distinct songs... or at least, a mixture of songs and instrumental bits.|darc| wrote:My first listen I thought it was kinda meh, but since then it's really grown on me.

Instead, the album is a collection of atmospheric music, extended instrumentals that seem to hint at their past hits at various points. Each of the track titles seems to be a direct or indirect reference to human communication and the fact that there aren't any words. Communication was also the theme of The Division Bell, though this feels a bit more... personal, somehow.
It's an unusual choice, and it'll probably take me a while to even decide whether or not I like it.
|Darc|, you might find it worthwhile to pick up a copy of the Pulse DVD. I generally avoid concert DVDs like the plague, but it's (a) well recorded, (b) a good balance of their "classic" and late-period material, and (c) a stunning audiovisual production. I wish I'd been old enough to attend the show when it happened.

Re: What are you listening to right now ?
This place is still around; unreal. Brings back memories.
Anyway, listening to Lost in the Dream by The War on Drugs. Awesome album; laid back and almost Pink Floyd-esque. Thought I'd mention it since some of you have been listening to the new album.

This is a friend of mine from college. He's apparently quite active in the New York steampunk community:

Re: What are you listening to right now ?
Taking the topic literally again.
I listen to a lot of music at work.
The headphones I had were cheap and getting kind of ratty, so now I have a lovely new toy for the office.
These may very well be my last pair of headphones. The cord is detachable, the construction is metal, the padding is memory foam, the sound quality is superb, they have a built-in amp (though they also work in passive mode), and if the build quality lives up to the brand's reputation, I don't see ever needing to replace these.

Re: What are you listening to right now ?
Uh-oh... have you fallen victim to the vacuum tube siren song?
The rabbit hole goes so much deeper. Just wait until you look for a new amp and and start seeing endless debates about push-pull vs. single-ended amplifier designs. That's the jumping-off point, where people are obsessive but there's still some validity to the arguments. From there, it gets really stupid.
I spent part of my Christmas bonus on a Telefunken Opus (a high-end, late 50s German hi-fi set) last winter, and listening to music really has not been the same since then.
One pleasant side effect is that when I'm using it with MP3s, the higher distortion inherent to a tube system seems to help mask the compression artifacts.

Re: What are you listening to right now ?
I've been wanting the Sennheiser HD 650 for a long time now. After the Audio Technica ATH-M50.. then Sennheiser HD 380... Then Audio Technica AD700x... all powered by a FiiO E10. When that died, I prepared for pulling the trigger on the dreamteam. I decided that the O2 ODAC from Mayflower seemed like the most solid entry point. After seeing the hype for the Aune T1 always mentioned in the same discussions, I chose to save a hundred bucks and go the tube route first, hoping that a (slightly--since the tube governs the DAC and the amp is solid-state) warmer signature would complement the already reportedly warm signature of the HD 650. I'm in heaven now and my next upgrade won't be for many years to come... Like when the HD 800 is a little older... and after I've inevitably experimented with more tubes.

Had this stuck in my head all last week.
Now it can be stuck in yours, too.
