The official "What are you listening to right now?" thread

Where I heard this today, I don’t remember. I think it was MUZAK in Target.

Love David Byrne…and Celia Cruz!

We’re celebrating Thanksgiving a day early and as such I’m listening to and posting this a day early (also means I’m beating @Greginslc to the post).

He posted it last year and it was the first time I’d heard it in a generation. I always liked the tune when I was young, and particularly the finger picking guitar part, but could never play it. Since I had recently started playing a lot last year when I heard it I tried again to learn the piece and found I could now play it without much trouble. It’s become my go to warm up tune. Thanks @Greginslc for the timely reminder.

The Greatest Thanksgiving song of all time:

Will probably get a visit from the police on Friday…for coffee and pie. :grin:

The commercial that it’s in has been on a lot. Same thing happened to me with Twisted Sister’s We’re Not Gonna Take It.

Fun to watch.
Loved watching her come in after the synth solo absolutely on time with complete insouciance.

I’d seen a couple really good reviews of that album but hadn’t gotten around to it yet.

Will definitely give it a listen, that song is great,

A colleague mentioned the Swedish band Katatonia today. Not familiar with death metal per se. What do you think?

Meh. I’ve always found them to be pretty bland. Much better melodeath (melodic death metal) out there.

Wilderun (by far the best American metal band working today, imo), Satyricon, Amorphis, Septicflesh, November’s Doom, (old) Opeth, Paradise Lost, Ruins of Beverast, Swallow the Sun, etc.

Thanks so much!
You know your metal

Heh, thanks. Seriously though…go listen to Wilderun. “Sleep at the Edge of the Earth” is one of the top 10 metal albums ever recorded, imo.

I’ve been on a Black Tongue kick this week. They’re one of the most nasty, brutal, gnarly bands in my library. Perfect to liven up any holiday party!
