Hey, I highly doubt I will find anyone with similar tastes, but right now I aam really into a few groups. 311, Tribe Called Quest, and the Beastie Boys rank right up there with Dave Mattews rounding out the group. I would really like to hear what other people are listening to, I would also like to know if any one has even heard of these groups (with the exception of DM) especially 311. ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!? {:

~stacey Tue, Nov 4, 1997 (12:10) #2

311 played in Austin a few times, yes I've heard of them. And the Beastie Boys put me through H.S. of course... What am I listening to RIGHT NOW? The hum of my "slower-than-molasses-in-the-wintertime" Macintosh! Last night was "the Silencers" old Sinead O'Conner and Mary Black. Had some Sisters of Mercy going there for awhile but had to tone down with my mellow mood.

~terry Tue, Nov 4, 1997 (13:20) #3

Nice of those beastie boys to buy your textbooks and cover your tuition, did they spring for your cheerleader outfit also?

~stacey Wed, Nov 5, 1997 (10:51) #4

Now, now! I was NOT a cheerleader! Never ever! Ever!

~terry Wed, Nov 5, 1997 (11:09) #5

But it was still nice of those beastie boys to put you through school. We'll forgive you for not beinga cheerleader. You would have been a great one though.

~stacey Wed, Nov 5, 1997 (11:23) #6

I was a better jockette. My voice wasn't quite high enough for the rah rah bunch! Besides, what the heck does that mean, "You would've been a great one...?"

~terry Wed, Nov 5, 1997 (14:23) #7

Your athleticism would have made you outstanding as a cheerleader, not to mention your great looks.

~stacey Mon, Nov 10, 1997 (12:22) #8

But my neck would've never withstood the headwhipping around action. Yesterday was a Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young kinda morning.

~terry Mon, Nov 10, 1997 (13:26) #9

Good point about the neck.

~stacey Fri, Nov 14, 1997 (10:08) #10

Last night it was an Indigo Girls night -- with the snow coming down. To whoever is a big 311 fan, they played in Denver last night! Sorry for the post-concert notice.

~terry Fri, Nov 14, 1997 (10:28) #11

Did you go. Speaking of girls (not grrrls), when are the Spice Girls playing?

~stacey Fri, Nov 14, 1997 (12:07) #12

Nope. Didn't go. Concerts I am anticipating: Indigo Girls in Denver 12/13 GusGus (ambient jazz/funk) 11/29 Twisted Sister 12/10 -just teasing on that last one, they're not even touring!

~terry Fri, Nov 14, 1997 (13:12) #13

Such a tease!

~stacey Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (10:28) #14

*smile*

~stacey Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (11:23) #15

RED HOT BLUE -- a collection of Cole Porter songs (performed by... Bono, the Pogues, Nenah Cherry and various other, seemingly non-compatible artists. A benefit CD and worth a listen!

~terry Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (12:18) #16

Still Breathing.

~stacey Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (13:22) #17

I'm glad you are, a necessary part of our existence, that breathing thing.

~pmnh Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (15:02) #18

Cole Porter thing sounds interesting...Neat the way music was crafted then, in his era...really like a lot of that stuff... Listening to Dylan's Blood on the Tracks..."If You See Her, Say Hello"- really dark, pretty, quirky song (sort of gets, in deference to Cole Porter, "under my skin", you know?)...

~stacey Mon, Nov 24, 1997 (11:05) #19

I listened to "Red Hot Blue" for most of the weekend. Broken up only with Cat Stevens and the Indigo Girls. Oh, and the Sunday morning jazz program on the radio.

~pmnh Mon, Nov 24, 1997 (11:41) #20

Couldn't of made it through tenth grade without Cat...kind of sad, thinking about him now...illogical, maybe, because he's being/doing what he wants...feels like he's dead, though- the man that wrote "Wild World", "Oh Very Young", and "Peace Train" could never endorse the murder of Salmon Rushdie, you know? Think I'll listen to Cat today...

~stacey Mon, Nov 24, 1997 (12:10) #21

I tend to prefer to believe that he is dead. He certainly is not the same singer/songwriter of days gone by. I try not to meld the two images of him together... it ruins the warm, safe happy sensation I get when listening to his music.

~terry Mon, Nov 24, 1997 (12:19) #22

My friend in NYC used to be married to Cat Stevens wife, Susan. I know because I married John and Susan.

~stacey Mon, Nov 24, 1997 (12:24) #23

You married them? As a JP or as a harem type thing?

~terry Mon, Nov 24, 1997 (13:27) #24

As a Universal Life Minister type of thing. It was Johns idea, I went along with it somewhat reluctantly. My first and last marriage ceremony.

~pmnh Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (22:50) #25

listening to CS&N presently... "helplessly hoping", like 7 times in a row...that kind of night...

~Wolf Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (23:08) #26

Am lost.....

~Wolf Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (23:12) #27

Anyone here?

~pmnh Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (23:16) #28

it's a bbs kinda thing... (sheesh...can't take you anywhere)...

~Wolf Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (23:17) #29

Glad I'm not talking to myself! Good to hear from you.....

~pmnh Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (23:23) #30

so...what are you listening to? I'm up to, like, 14 "helplessly hoping"s... (and that's a heapin' helpin'- huh?)

~Wolf Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (23:24) #31

old biker shows (you gotta put somethin' else on)

~pmnh Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (23:33) #32

what in the hell are "old biker shows"? the wild ones? ez rider? some kind of demented brandon tartikoff kind of thing? what? and I require my self-pity in large doses, thank you...

~Wolf Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (23:41) #33

just somethin' I flipped too. been trying to figure out what it is. and it's b/w.

~Wolf Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (23:42) #34

14 times??

~pmnh Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (23:48) #35

sinking rapidly to van morrison "tupelo honey"- "crazy love" terrain... then a shot of floyd ("wish you were here")... next stop, oblivion...

~Wolf Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (23:52) #36

you're silly ;) not sure if I'm familiar with those...........

~Wolf Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (23:54) #37

Hum a few bars ................

~Wolf Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (23:56) #38

do it again.....didn't quite get it..................hmmmmm

~pmnh Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (23:57) #39

probably because they're irish... the whole damn world discriminates against us... and where would the world be, without us? who'd populate it?

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:01) #40

hey, sorry. floyd is irish? van morrison?

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:02) #41

did you get my post?

~pmnh Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:06) #42

checking (so often oblivious to these things)... yeah, morrison's irish... and roger waters must be (he's so damned profound, you know?)...

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:08) #43

forgive me, but the doors and pink floyd?

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:12) #44

speaking of pink floyd, have the division bell and my fav track is take it back. but don't think that's the same floyd you were talking about........

~pmnh Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:20) #45

sigh... "oh, very young"... Van Morrison, not jim (we don't claim jim, though he claims us)... Division Bell, I take it, is waters-less floyd...which really isn't floyd at all, but an oldies act (they have to hire song writers now)... Wish You Were Here was released mid-70's...

~KitchenManager Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:20) #46

Hate to tell ya nick, but there's a whole lot of Catholics who'd love to finish populate the world...

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:24) #47

thanks for clearing that up......

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:35) #48

did roger waters do the wall?

~pmnh Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:40) #49

no, that was jeroboam, I think... (yes, he did)...

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:43) #50

never heard of jeroboam(??) you like the scorpions?

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:47) #51

saw a bit on croce (sp?). didn't know he went in a plane crash. thought that was a bit eerie considering how many others have gone that way too.

~pmnh Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:55) #52

got the spelling right... really liked him... where did you see it?

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:57) #53

vh1. funny, cuz I had leroy brown going through my head a few days ago.....

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (01:02) #54

did he do the one about spitting into the wind and pulling the mask off the lone ranger? you know, you don't mess around with Jim? or am i really confused?

~pmnh Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (01:05) #55

yeah, that was him... he did much better stuff than that, though... are you finally listening to music now?

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (01:06) #56

only the ones in my head.....

~pmnh Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (01:13) #57

well, an irishman probably wrote those, too...

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (01:21) #58

heehee (although that's probably close to the truth, as there's irish in the bloodline somewhere)

~pmnh Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (01:27) #59

hey, if it's in there, believe me, it's dominant... hmmmm....

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (01:36) #60

amazing that a drop can be so potent

~pmnh Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (01:41) #61

boy, are those famous last words...

~pmnh Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (01:42) #62

and trust me...being irish, i know about such things...

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (01:46) #63

aren't you scottish too?

~pmnh Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (01:51) #64

sigh...jeroboam was the guy in the Bible (second kings, I believe) that "pissethed against the wall" (and truly pissethed off God, in the process... how many midianites do you know? see what I mean?)

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (01:56) #65

walked into that one....

~pmnh Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (01:59) #66

Hey, baby... Scotti (from whence Scotland derives) is latin for irish... and James the VI kicked us out of Scotland in the 16th century (he obv. had no sense of humor- that's what happen when they turn into normans)...

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (02:03) #67

Ooooo, and a history lesson to boot! TTFN :)

~pmnh Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (02:17) #68

thats right, make fun of the irish guy... (I can smell norman blood, by the way)

~Wolf Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (18:04) #69

Anyone here?

~pmnh Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (20:27) #70

well, well... out for more blood tonight, are we? what are you listening to? I'm writing and grooving, baby... 10,000 maniacs (unplugged)... "Hey, Jack Kerouac", specifically...

~stacey Mon, Dec 8, 1997 (18:07) #71

...I think of your mother..." Hey, nick! That was a weekend choice for me as well. Along with Brian Eno's Ambient Music for Airports, THE THE (Dusk), Indigo Girls (Swamp Ophelia), Sade (Promise), Laurie Freelove (Heaven on Earth) Tanita Tankirim (for got the title... her new one!), random Indian music, and The Pogues! Oh, and when Brandon wasn't listening... the Eagles, Cat Stevens and Fleetwood Mac!

~pmnh Tue, Dec 9, 1997 (05:42) #72

and what does brandon have against the eagles, cat stevens, and fleetwood mac? currently back in CS&N pattern, and holding...

~stacey Tue, Dec 9, 1997 (10:22) #73

The most open minded man I know has an irrational dislike for anything classic rock related (in era or otherwise!)

~pmnh Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (15:12) #74

listening to sublime..."santaria"... all the way up ("can't define" it... precludes thought)

~eva Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (20:18) #75

I'm stuck in the 60's. I still love Jimi Hendrix and Joni Mitchell just to name a few. I get so irritated when I hear anything new (with the exception of the Counting Crows, who for some reason appeals to my melancholy sensibilities). I want to do to Mariah Carey albums what Gloria Steinham did to bras in the 70's.

~pmnh Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (20:44) #76

think i wanted to marry joni, when i was 16... one of the most gorgeous voices i've ever heard... and jimi sounds as fresh as ever (for the most part)... counting crows are truly excellant, but there's really a decent amount of good stuff out there...

~pmnh Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (22:51) #77

listening to the chili peppers...red hot minute... "my friends" (it's a stone groove)...

~Wolf Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (22:53) #78

hey stranger

~pmnh Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (22:55) #79

stranger than you think (even)...

~Wolf Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (22:57) #80

tell me something i don't know.....

~pmnh Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:01) #81

jeez... where would I start?

~Wolf Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:03) #82

impress me with your knowledge, big boy

~Wolf Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:04) #83

perhaps we should continue this discussion elsewhere? check out the couch.

~pmnh Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:09) #84

wandered in there, few minutes ago... unSPEAKABLE things going on- (that wer is an animal once he gets a head full of steam, I guess)

~Wolf Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:10) #85

then we'd fit right in. meet you there!

~pmnh Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:15) #86

beginning to wonder if mono was all you gave me...

~Wolf Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:17) #87

what are the symptoms?

~pmnh Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:23) #88

creeping paranoia? (that couch scene was truly gruesome, by the way... thanks so much, for including me)

~Wolf Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:26) #89

sorry you felt uncomfortable. perhaps you'd like a place less crowded?

~pmnh Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:33) #90

i'm easy... are you listening to music?

~Wolf Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:35) #91

no. and you're easy? am not going there........

~pmnh Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:38) #92

Hey, I didn't put up that much of a fight...

~Wolf Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:40) #93

yeah, should've kept working on you. what's on your mind tonight, sweetie?

~pmnh Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:45) #94

I dunno... just another pleasant valley thursday... did get miss tammy'd today...

~Wolf Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:47) #95

miss tammy'd???

~pmnh Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:51) #96

listening to sublime again... yeah, miss tammy'd (and you call yourself a southern girl?)

~Wolf Thu, Dec 11, 1997 (23:53) #97

never claimed that

~KitchenManager Fri, Dec 12, 1997 (02:12) #98

One innocent slip and you're casting aspersions on my character, nick?

~pmnh Fri, Dec 12, 1997 (02:19) #99

Aspersions? Hell, you're my hero, wer...

~KitchenManager Fri, Dec 12, 1997 (02:37) #100

And as far as I know, I'm not even Irish...
