I am just curious what people are listening to in their car or on their ipod. I have very eclectic musical tastes ranging from old school DC punk to Dave Bruebeck but I find myself listening to a lot of the same stuff these days: Wilco, Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo, and Jay Farrar. I just listened thru for my first time the new Annie Lennox cd and really enjoyed it and I am always looking for some new music so I would like to know what are you listening to these days?

Dug (Doug) Pinnick-Strum Sum Up. The bass player and lead singer for King's X releases his third/fourth solo album. He subcontracts the bass and grabs lead guitar and vocals for himself. If you're a fan of King's X with their topical lyrics, and a fan of Doug's crunching bass-rock sound, this is it.

Led Zeppelin-Live at the 02 Arena, London England, December 2007.

The middle portion of the concert was played over my local non-commercial radio station and I stored it on my hard-drive recorder. It includes

In My Time Of Dying
For Your Life
Trampled Underfoot
Nobody's Fault But Mine
Kashmir

I recently saw the U2 concert movie, U2-3D. Yes, a U2 concert in 3D in an IMAX format. Devastating; left me in tears. I wasn't a U2 fan before; I am now. The question is, which discs do I buy?

I don't know why it caught my ear but a few years ago I bought a disc by a guy named Cheikh Lo, the disc is Bambay Gueej. I've been grabbing stacks of discs to drown out the office because I'm plowing through a giant database conversion and we're in the stuff that you have to do by hand. Once you have the method it's just puzzle solving and a lot of recoding.

Anyway, I grabbed this disc, I hadn't listened to it in years. Whoa. Unbelievable. I'm now on an African music quest. I know of Lagbaja, but that's about it. Anybody know who else like that I should check out?

Tom,

I don't know much at all about African music, but I was recently turned on to a musician named Andy Palacio. Unfortunately he passed away this past January, but he was from Belize, Garifuna to be specific, and his music is amazing in sort of an Afro-caribbean style. Highly recommended.

Also, I've been listening to a lot of Groundation (a roots reggae band from CA) and plenty of Ryan Adams.
