iggy and the stooges
the dead kennedys too drunk to #$%*
black flag loose nut
green jello little pig
husker du these important years
husker du the girl who lives on heaven hill

[mrbreeze]

Sounds good Fuzzy.....I like your bands but don't have anything by them.I have no excuse for having 400 or so CDs and 300 or so albums and not having any Ramones!!! I like them but I just don't have anything by them. Black Flag is Zack Wylde...right?? I have the Green Jelly......Cereal Killer and 333.
Its a geographical thing.......people in different zones listen to the same type of music but just get into different artists.
My favorite Ramones tune.....I wanna be sedated.
(Must go buy Ramones tunes!!!!)...........

[fuzzybutt]

black flag was henry rollins back in the 80's. i got to see the ramones about 20 times through the 80's, they used to play at the west hartford agoura ballroom a few times a year. that was a great place for a show

[mrbreeze]

Right you are!!!!.......I was thinking of the Black Label Society.I got a few CDs of The Rollins Band....great stuff.

[ev0lve]

I see you like it HEAVY MrBreeze and I know where you're coming from Fuzzy

Can I jump in? This is the 4 CD set I made for myself when I'm trapped up in the woods working on the bike. Tried listening to the radio but there's only so many times I could hear Hotel California you know? 

Been trying to program a set that hangs together in the running order as well as this but no luck so far.

6 Months and hasn't bored me yet!

[tramp]

got tired of the radio years ago
got about 14 cd in my truck
i try not to burn the same band twice on a cd
i burn styles
one cd blues next cd folk next cd rock and so on

[333]

CDs are so 90s.  Two Christmas' ago I got me a unit in my car that has a USB jack on the face.  It takes a flash drive.  I put almost 300 songs on a 1 GB drive, and didn't even fill it up half way.

In terms of content, I've been in an acoustic mood lately, with a little blues mixed in.  John Mayer, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Neil Young.  My problem is that one of my subs is blown, and buzzes like a MF'er.  My birthday is coming, and I have a new pair picked out.

[eldar]

yeah you gotta go the usb way or at least a deck that handles mp3s on cd. Most do from the last 5 years. That way you can cram on a lot of songs. You do not burn the disk as an audio disk, you do it as a data disk and then it goes by the amount not by time. Just PLEASE use songs done with AT LEAST a 192k bitrate. PLEASE I BEG YOU. The amount of loss on a 128 rate is horrendous and should be against the law. If I can help it in ANY way, I refuse to go below 320k.

If you have a halfways decent system, you WILL hear the difference.

+1 on that I got 14gigs of goodies on my work comp.
Mrbreeze.......I like your taste. I would buy that mix if you wanted then I can load it up and have another jam to just let play like you said.
Mine starts with some live NIN blends into some Alice in Chains, then onto zombie-american music made to strip by....

[jreich]

Looks like some Def Tones would be a perfect addition to this list!

[KARamsay]

CDs???

Hell... I still have tons of old mixed tapes with punk rock 7"s and every Ramones Album!  Yep... the Vinyl stuff!

All kidding aside... no matter how you transfer it, music and mixing it up is a ton of fun.  I really dig internet radio:

My students say that to me all the time.  They are 14 to 16 and I am about to hit 37.

Lots of good burns out there.I got an Apple Ipod thing last year and haven't really messed with it yet.I'm not into all the techy stuff yet!!!
I'm probably the last guy on the planet to get into CDs in the 90's.Next time I get a car stereo,it will have the mp3 jacks.

[Retro Rocket]

I think you have great taste in music Mr Breeze, add some Sevendust, Black Label Society and Disturbed and it would be nearly perfect....

Finally a music thread that is not the same old lists.  I also like/have the majority of the first three lists.

I was kinda surprised at a few of them and kinda feeling good about apparently not being the only fan of X-Ray Spex.

And since it is 1/20/09 I think it is worth visiting the DK's.  I love this youtube version!

...and the list goes on.

I'd happily listen to your list, as I like smooth Jazz.  But, I do like the rock n' roll, too.  Not so much on the thrash music, though.  A little of that goes a long way for me.  Forget rap or hip hop. (please)

Oh, none of my cars has a cd player.    But, the Camaro (which has been running surprisingly well recently) takes a cassette adapter for an aux input that I use with the Ipod nano.  I have several playlists in the Mac.  When I want a change, I just have to resynch the Ipod to a different playlist.  4 gigs of MP3 holds about 26 cds worth of music.

Current album playlist in the Ipod:
Arena - Immortal
Arena - Pepper's Ghost
Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle
Caravan - Traveling Ways
Daryl Stuermer - Go
Doobie Brothers - Cycles
Frost* - Milliontown
GPS - Window to Your Soul
GTR - GTR
Hiroshima - Go
Jefferson Airplane - Crown of Creation
Kino - Picture
Nektar - Book Of Days
Nektar - Evolution
Pallas - The Blinding Darkness (DVD rip)
Pendragon - The Masquerade Overture
Povert'ys No Crime - Save My Soul
The Best of the Rippintons
Saga - 10,000 days
Sieges Even - The Art of Navigating By The Stars
Special EFX - Butterfly
Spock's Beard - Spock's Beard
Symphony X - V: The New Mythology Suite
Threshold - Dead Reckoning


I have well over 1000 albums to choose from.
I tunes says there are 7753 songs, which would take 26.7 days of continuous play to go through.  I have 10 new albums to input and about 300 vinyl discs to rip, and about 200 cassettes to rip, as well.  I do about 5 per week.

Cheers,

[ev0lve]

+1 on the jazz.  I'm just pissed that the local smooth jazz station switched to oldies.  It was the only one here in D.C., and now there's 3 oldies stations.  If it weren't for HD radio, I wouldn't have any smooth jazz.

A friend gives me a hard time, saying smooth jazz is all cover tunes and elevator music.  He shut up when I pointed out that Carlos Santana covered  "Oya Como Va", written by Tito Puente.

Way to go 333!

[Really?]

Lotta stuff there I have not heard in a long time but my music choice has changed a bit too.  I use a 2nd gen shuffle (wore out the memory on the 1st gen) on the bike (goes through a small amp and out a pair of Boston Acoustics or my headsets) and an iPhone in the car and around.

Here is some of the groups I listen to now.  I wonder how many of you listen to these groups.

    Evanescence
    VNV Nation
    Assemblage 23
    Ian Van Dahl
    Blutengel
    Tiesto
    Apoptygma Bezerk
    Imperative Reaction
    Above & Beyond
    Oceanlab
    Laava
    Markus Schulz
    Perpetuous Dreamer
    Kyau Vs. Albert
    TGAF
    Rostersand

I've got a question, recently I flooded and most of the vynl got wet so maybe this will spur me to finally burn the stuff on to cd's what kind of scratch and pop filter do I need, other question anyone had experience with wet reel to reel tapes I've got a large tape with classic Spanish guitar things on it, also some old jazz that I'd like to try and save, a fairly large collection actually, Montoya ,Fats Waller ,Father Hines etc.
Thanks.

I have an AS in recording arts (which doesn't mean much). I dont think you should use any pop filters or anything to record the vinyl just a good record player with nice needles through a decent board. I was a DJ for years and like the pops and such but if they are really loud you can try to find the spot on the record and just run the needle through it back and forth and sometimes this helps. As for the reels I would try to lay them all out and dry them as much as possible. They might be ok once dried good and not sticking or anything. Id run em and see what happened. Hope this helps.

i recently bought a Sony Explod car stereo...it has an ipod plug in,an auxilary and an usb port..i picked up an 8 gig flash and went to town with the downloads.
before that i was into mixing cds without having the same band twice.
to list all the music i have would take days. it took me 8 hours to fill the 8 gigger.
i listen to everything from Blues to punk.
lately i have been downloading a lot of James brown,BB KING,Run DMC,Iggy pop,Albert King,Black Sabbath the Ozzie years,Grand Funk (love it) and so on.
Pirate bay is my main source of downloads...you can fin almost any bands Discographies (every album they have recorded including obscure bootleg stuff) just finished Zeppelins discography including the BBC recordings (great find)
my nephew who is 17 is getting into the oldies,so he is constantly over here loading up his Ipod...good to see the punks are still listening to good old rock and roll.as a matter of fact a while back someone here asked about tunes for a party he was having and my nephew went nuts reading the bands people were listing.
happy listening.
