What are you listening to?

[Harp]

The Fleischmann's Yeast Hour with Rudy Vallee, 12/13/1934. Tonight's guests -- Cole Porter, Buck and Bubbles, Beatrice Lillie, Henry Fonda, and William S. Hart.

Cole Porter.... Was in a Starbucks this morn featuring Ella Fitzgerald
singing a Cole Porter track; two class acts together over hot java.
Even the laptop-earplug-headset crowd were listening....

[Zach R.]

I've got David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust on at the moment.

[Nathan Flowers]

Madeleine Peyroux's new album.

[Curt Chiarelli]

I've a few favourites in the CD changer now, a satisfying blend of soundtrack scores and classical:

- Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky;

- Divertimento, Four Roumanian Folk Songs and Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste by Bela Bartok;

- El Cid by Miklos Rozsa;

- Breakheart Pass by Jerry Goldsmith;

- Vertigo by Bernard Herrmann; and

- Das Wunder der Heliane by Erich Wolfgang Korngold

[Hemingway Jones]

Madeleine Peyroux's new album.

How is it? I loved her cover of the Leonard Cohen song, "Dance Me to the End of Love" on her last album.

[Mojave Jack]

If you have 'music of your choice' on as your reading this, what are you listening to?
Stating random radio or background music is no good.

I've got Grateful Dead / The Grateful Dead CD on.
Waiting in the wings is:
Disraeli Gears / Cream
Then & Now / The Who

The Jam right now. The Gift just finished, and In the City is just coming on.

You're making me want to throw in The Who, though. I have Thirty Years of Maximum R&B right here, and I haven't given that a listen in a while...

[Jay]

Blue Monk by Thelonius Monk.

[Samsa]

At the moment it is Weezer's "Blue Album."

[CharlieH.]

Right now it's Waring's Pennsylvanians. (More specifically, How About Me? by Irving Berlin)

- Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky;

- Divertimento, Four Roumanian Folk Songs and Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste by Bela Bartok;

- Breakheart Pass by Jerry Goldsmith;

- Vertigo by Bernard Herrmann; and

- Das Wunder der Heliane by Erich Wolfgang Korngold

Now THAT is an eclectic bunch. I'm not familiar with that particular Goldsmith score but I'm a big fan of his film work. He may not have had the power and majesty of your next on the list, Bernard Herrmann, but he was probably the most versatile of ALL the film composers. I don't think there was anything he couldn't do.
