Aug '08: What are you listening too?

[Knightfall]

What albums are you currently listening too? What's on your iPod? Any good "books on CD"?

A friend found this interesting CD while visiting Japan. It's called "The Black Mages" and features rock/metal versions of various Final Fantasy themes. Been listening to it for a couple days now. Other than that, my MP3 player is filled with "Rhapsody", or "Rhapsody of Fire" as it's now known.

I'm patiently awaiting my copy of the Star Wars Original Radio Drama.

I just learned of the Russian Singer/Group called Linda and have been putting her into heavy rotation. Kind of reminds me of Siouxsie Sioux. Now I just have to figure out where to buy the albums.

I recently came across this cool viking/pagan/folk/metal band Tyr. All their songs are related to Norse Mythology, some are in English, some in their native language.

Here's one of their songs where they filmed the video at a Viking (re-fair type) festival.

Lenard Cohen. No, really.
Rodriguez. 'Silver magic ships are sailing. Jumpers, coke, sweet mary jane.'

The Crucible of Man, part 2 of the Something Wicked saga - and boy-Iced Earth does it again!
Matt Barlow is back on vocals and his performance on this record is nothing but astonishing. It was quite a while since Mastermind Jon Schaffer wrote music this good ; Crucible of Man is a perfect mix of The Dark Saga and Something Wicked This Way Comes.
If you want a good, honest heavy metal record - get this jewel.

I listened to a reading of Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen recently, but once again was struck by how much I prefer to read a book rather than simply listen to it (barring books of poetry).

Other than that, I am listening to an eclectic mix of Kate Bush, PDQ Bach, Cocteau Twins, and the Ditty Bops.

Some Weezer rarities, Fountains of Wayne's first album, and my usual assortment or random crap I like.

Been listening to my iPod on the way to work and back. My Black Sabbath playlist (100% Dio/Ozzy), my Anthrax playlist, my GnR playlist, and my Dream Theater playlist have been in heavy rotation lately.
