OT: what's on your stereo and bookshelf?

[joker-fish]

people still "buy" music...weird

 

within my large library of music,all i do is play my media player on shuffle.most recent tunes were "soul crusher" from white zombie,depeche mode "enjoy the silence","imagine" from john lennon,and "loser" from beck

 

shuffle is odd sometimes

 

as for the bookshelf,a few well read trades.my sandman statue,a lot of papers,hopefully nothing important,and my tattoo ink

 

and now for something completely different!....

Here is my current ecclectic fave mix-

 

Stereo:

 

Queen: Flash Gordon (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture) -Classic! "Vultan's Theme" made me rewatch the movie last weekend.

 

Southern Culture On the Skids: Dirt Track Date- Check out "Camel Walk", my wife says this song is making her crazy!

 

Anthrax: The Threat Is Real!- Still rocking with this 2003 release. Good songs to check out on ITunes-"Catharsis, Harm's Way, Toast to the Extras, Stealing from a Thief". This CD has helped me start the day all this week.

 

Fireflight: The Healing of Harms- the song "Myself" is just darn catchy.

 

Die Trying : Die Trying- I bought this CD at a PX in Iraq in 2003 and rock it on my IPod at the gym pretty regularly. Rock band out of L.A. that has reformed as "VanityKills". This whole CD rocks!

 

A Static Lullaby: .....and Don't Forget to Breathe- Modern emo-rock at it's finest. Try out "The Shooting Star That Destroyed Us".

 

LL Cool J: All World: Greatest Hits- Classic Hip-hop! Play "Rock the Bells" at work and freak out the boss! Good times!

 

Q Lazzarus: "Goodbye Horses". Seen Silence of the Lambs? Remember that song Buffalo BIll danced to? Reenact this scene at work and not only will you freak out the boss- you most likely will be sued by someone! (Something about sexual harrasment or something )

 

Iron Maiden: The Essential Iron Maiden-Required listening after Q Lazzarus! (Cleanses the palate!)

 

Bookshelf:

 

The Gift of Valor: Michael Phillips- The story of US Marine Corporal Jason Dunham whose family will receive his Medal of Honor at the White House tomorrow. He gave his life to save his fellow Marines.

 

Superhero: The Secret Origin of a Genre: Peter Coogan- Just started. Looks fun but reads like a college textbook.

 

Comic Book Guy's Book of Pop Culture: Bongo Entertainment- Hilarious!!!

 

 

The Forgotten Soldier: Guy Sajer- Just about finished with this one. Unique look at the final days of WW2 from a German Army Soldier's perspective.

 

Good times!

you need to read Levon Helm's book about The Band. then watch TLW again. En-Lightening.

 

Prydain books by Lloyd Alexander

 

 

 

right now all i listen to is bassdrive.com, although a buddy burned Led Zep's "How the West Was Won" onto CDs for me. pretty sweet.

 

books, books, let's see. I'm reading three right now, and can't really get into any of them, but that's likely more my ADD than anything else. "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" by some dude, "A Changed Man" by Maxine "can you believe it" Prose, and a book about the West Virginia miner uprising in the early 1900s by an author whose name escapes me.

 

please note i use "reading" in the most liberal sense of the word, as that mining book has been glaring at me since early fall

[october]

- Ann Coulter's - Godless....there's one in every crowd, live with it!!

 

The title of that book always makes me laugh. She uses the word "Godless" like it's some huge indictment. What year is this? 1542? I didn't realize that people were still deathly afraid of non-Christians and atheists.

Widespread Panic - Light Fuse, Get Away

 

Great album. I saw them in Ohio once, in the middle of summer. The theater got so hot you could see you breath if you had ice in your mouth. My friend passed out in the middle of the crowd and we had to drag him onto one of the balconys. It has to be at least 110 degrees....
