[Nov] What are you listening to?

[Barendd Nobeard]

OK, I'm not planning on doing this every month, but to follow the form for the reading/watching threads, I added the month.

What are you listening to this month?

The reason I ask is that I have found myself listening to one CD a lot this month: Avenue Q. It's a new show on Broadway and a friend told me to get the disc. It's done with puppets (imagine the writers of South Park using Sesame Street puppets for a big old-fashioned musical and you get the idea). My friend says there are problems with it as a play (e.g., the plot is clumsy), but he really liked the songs. With titles like It Sucks to Be Me and The Internet is for Porn, they really are fun.

To keep it on topic for EN World, some of the characters are monsters. And one is named Trekkie Monster.

I'm finding the songs very catchy and I am listening to them over and over. The last album I did this with was probably the Alien soundtrack in 1979 or Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street in the same year. And when I say album, I mean vinyl.

So, I'm just wondering if some music has gotten into your head recently and won't leave. When that happens to me, I just listen to it for a few weeks (or months), and eventually something else takes its place.

I've got Pink's new CD on the way to me from Amazon. Should have it this weekend to listen to. My whole household loved her last CD so this was an easy buy.

Right now at this very moment, the Signs soundtrack. I'm always on the lookout for more good game music, and this is one of my favorite, 'coz I like spooky campaigns, doncha know (speaking of which, Nobeard, you aren't in my Duchess Tea Party game this weekend, are you?)

However, more generically, I've been pulling out my older stuff after seeing the "I Love the 80s Strikes Back" week on VH1 not long ago. A lot of Billy Idol and Def Leppard, and other cheezy stuff like that, mostly.

Blue Man Group record Audio

Ever since I saw their show in Vegas, I can't stop listening to this album. I also keep dreaming of making my own PVC drums.

No. It looks great, but I signed up for CoC.

Hey, it's always a nice day for a white wedding!

Oh, that's right -- my next-door neighbor is also signed up for that game. Looks like it might fall through though, unless some walkins show up. Too bad, it looks really fascinating. I'd play it myself if I hadn't opened my big mouth and signed up to run something.

Mostly Elvis: 2nd To None or the songs at http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/ . "Where Go The Maids" & "A Valkyrie Song" are really great songs.

 

[Elf Witch]

I have been listening to Bat out of Hell and Bat out of hell 2 a lot this month. As well as several filk tapes like Minus Ten and Counting (space filk) Finity's End (music from CJ Cherryh's worlds) and Ode to the Dorsai (Gordon Dickson world).

As well as the Buffy musical and the soundtrack to Rob Roy.

That's every week since it first aired. What's with their obsession with showing the whole thing every day?

I've been listening to some cd's I made of some stuff I have, mostly of Rancid and Ash songs.
