Mellow Sonic Wall
I have been using Kung-tunes (and Kung-Log) for a while now. Great little applications made by Adriaan of Kung-foo.tv (I still owe you some $ Adriaan).
On my homepage you can look over to the right and see what song I am currently listening to, and if you click the link below that you can see the last 10 songs I have listened to. Let’s be honest, you love this.
During work hours you are likely to see a very mellow assortment. I put on my headphones and listen to some of my playlists like “Mellow Sonic Wall” or “Dinner” (Lots of stuff like Yo La Tengo and the Sea and Cake, yes Josh, maybe even Coastal…) unless I am pissed at someone at work. Then I might listen to mixes like “Themes for an Ultimate and Inevitable Confrontation”, or “Eve of Destruction” (The Clash, Fugazi, Rancid…).
I just looked out the window at the street below and watched an old lady slow to 1mph about half a mile from the right-hand turn she was preparing to make. I was so infuriated that I had to switch from Pedro the Lion to Guitar Wolf. Almost as dangerous of a move as her driving.
So then, what are you listening to?
P.S. If you ever need mix-making help, Bill Keaggy is there for you.
I’ve been listening to the new Cat Power and some old Billy Bragg
When I’m sane then: Kathy Fisher “Anyway”, Rufus Wainwright “One Man Guy”, Lyle Lovett “God Will” and of cource Bob Dylan – “Not Dark Yet”. When I am feeling spiritual I listen to BYU choral “The Promised Land”. When I feel angry I listen to Dar Williams – Iowa, and when I feel like a poser I listen to any Dashboard Confessional song.
Whenever I look at your “Currently Listening To” list (which has been empty for a while — what’s up with that?), I feel good if I recognize even one of the bands. My recent obsessions: The Old 97s, Sarah Harmer, and “Hurt” by Johnny Cash. There’s just something about the Man in Black singing a Nine Inch Nails song.
