What are you listening to?

[zaika]

Macedonian nuns and a priest chanting and singing the Divine Liturgy. again. hands down my most favorite recording...of anything...ever.

 

[Darhling]

Sting:

Murder by numbers
Englishman in New York
Shape of my heart
Fragile
Roxanne
When we dance
Every breath you take
Russians
Message in a bottle
If I ever lose my faith in you

 

[J. Baxter]

Nimm Dich in Act vor blonden Frauen - Weintraub's Syncopators

Weimar Germany jazz is fascinating.

 

[Redhaired_Dame]

right now I got 3 artists on repeat:

Al Jolson

Bessie Smith

Billie Holiday

 

[sixsexsix]

Tegan & Sara....it's good studying music!

 

[shoelessjoe]

Some Dave Matthews (Band) ~ Under The Table & Dreaming ... to be followed by Chris Botti and his Italia cd.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Ramona and her Gang, with a snappy 1934 recording, "Every Now and Then." Ramona was the six-foot-tall pianist/singer with Paul Whiteman's Orchestra during the thirties, and she's passionately despised by most of the hotter-than-thou jazz purists of my acquaintance. Nertz to them, though -- I like her stuff.

Next up -- Ben Bernie, the Old Maestro, and All the Lads, circa 1931, with "99 Out of a Hundred Want To Be Loved," one of the very few successful pop tunes of the dance-band era to be written in 6/8 time. Yowsah!

 

[Fletch]

I never say no to a 6' woman who can sing and play the piano. Let the purists scoff, and consider that you've as good as shaken the poor twits down for their musical lunch money in every note of pleasure you derive.

(I'm listening to the 6 Brown Bros. right now, transcribing several arrangements for a CD I'm about to be part of. I apologize if I read a little bloody-minded, however; that's for other reasons.)

I have been running around in my car which has a XM satellite radio which is on the 40s channel 90% of the time. I really enjoy that type of music.

 

[Darhling]

Boney James at the moment.

 

[cassylynn]

My boss (of all people) has me hooked on Pink Martini. I've also been listening to the Andrews Sisters and the Puppini Sisters.

 

[Darhling]

I am a big old sap, I know..

Etta James - at last
Doris Day - perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Andy Williams - music to watch the girls go by
Julie London - fly me to the moon

 

[John Boyer]

Tim Hardin, Homecoming Concert with Nanci Griffith, Poet in my Window, to follow.

 

[Fletch]

Lud Gluskin's Ambassador Ork, 1929, playing the Jean Goldkette band's legendary arrangement on Tiger Rag that Goldkette never got to record. (Gluskin liked it so much he recorded it 4 times!)

 

[Darhling]

Pet Shop Boys

Heart
Being Boring
Domino Dancing
It's a sin
Always on my mind

 

[LizzieMaine]

Russ Columbo, in a live NBC radio broadcast from 1934, performing "The House Is Haunted (With The Echo Of Your Last Goodbye.) Not for nothing was he known as "Radio's Valentino."

Next up on the same program -- the latest Hollywood gossip from Jimmie Fidler, reporting on the tumultuous divorce proceedings between Rudy Vallee and Fay Webb. Scandalmonger.

 

[KY Gentleman]

Its not quite "vintage" but I'm wearing out the "Damn The Torpedos" CD by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in my truck...

 

[dhermann1]

Bo Diddley tribute on WKCR, "Who Do You Love?" Great stuff.

 

[dhermann1]

Macedonian nuns and a priest

I have to slow down a little here. When I first saw this I thought it said "Macademia nuts and a priest." lol

 

[John Boyer]

Joe Glazer - "Union Train"
