Nothing is in my CD player.

Earlier I played

Dirt and Stone - by Mad Pudding
Jars of Clay - by Jars of Clay
Crimson and Blue - by Phil Keaggy
Acoustic Works 1981-86 - by Mike Peters

There are a lot of choices here. A couple of weeks ago I bought some CD shelves that take 760 CDs in jewel cases. We have quite a few box sets that take up less space per CD. And the shelves are full. And there are more CDs elsewhere. And when my parents visit this week they are bringing about 150 CDs that I bought when I visited them (they have good car boot sales to go to).

We have pop, rock, folk, country, jazz of most sorts, classical - in large quantities including the complete Bach, complete Mozart, 40 CDs of both Haydn and Handel, Chopin’s complete piano music, 25 CDs of Beethoven and so on (and some of the beautiful music of Arvo Part), enough gregorian chant to keep us happy, various world music and anything else that looks interesting at the time.

We also have over 500 cassettes - it was over 1000 but I’ve been slowly clearing them out - and a couple of hundred vinyl LPs - that used to be over 500. Over the years I’ve got rid of probably over 3000 albums. And there’s only a few I regret clearing out - so if you have any albums by The Incredible String Band you want to give me, please do!

I’ve also been listening to a few online radio stations. spiritandsong, rootsworld, theacousticstage, and hober are all good.

The last album I bought was yesterday, for 25 pence, a CD of music by Charles Ives and Aaron Copland.
 
I don’t have a CD Player, but here’s my MP3 Player…

Mozart - Various selections (those are the albums I study to)

Gary Fjellgaard’s “Greatest Hits” & "Grande Olde Ride " (albums I relax to)

Blue Rodeo (songs I sing along with)

Tom Northcott (songs that make me smile)

Beethoven’s “Spring” Sonata for Piano & Violin no. 5 in F major by David Garrett & Alexander Markovich (a piece that moved me to tears the first time I ever heard it and which I have never tired of hearing in the 36 years since)

Les Grands Succès de la musique acadienne 1994 (Music that is my heritage)

Organ Music & Gregorian Chant from the Cathedral of Saint Patrick in New York City with Dr. Jennifer Pascual on Organ & Men of the Cathedral Choir (Stuff I play at work to show the pastor what we could be hearing at Mass if he really cared.)
 
oooh, I remember CDs-- shiney little frisbee things, right? Held about 10 minutes of music?

I may be old, but I love my Ipod, use it almost every day. Over 4000 songs so far.

If you like authentic Celtic, you have to hear Altan.

Neo Celtic, Glengarry Bhoys, Gaelic Storm, Saw Doctors.

Of the new acts, Brani Carlile and Cloud Cult have real talent and staying power.

Spent the best night of my summer listening to R&B wailer EC Scott, who does the best versions of ‘People get ready’ and ‘Stand by Me’ I’ve ever heard.

If you like Jazz, check out Eden Atwood: wonderful supple voice.

I only recently became acquainted with Austrailan country/rocker Kasey Chambers.

Her song ‘I still Pray’ isn’t theologically profound, but I garuntee it will hit you where you live.

On youtube:
youtube.com/watch?v=I4QBTot7ObM

It can load slow, so hit pause, let it get a good head start.
 
Right now I’m listening to Gregorian chants from the 12th century Monastary of the Franciscian order in Barcelona.

SIKE

I wont tell you directly who I listen to you can experience it for yourselves (THANK THE LORD FOR YOUTUBE); the first is a rock song. If you like strings in your music you’ll love this it has a very etheral feel to it.

youtube.com/watch?v=rOoCixFA8OI

The second song is by a guy named Sage Francis and the song is called narcissist. Its a rant against fashion and how we let fashion and commercialism identify who we are. He starts off describing his love of designer clothes and how these styles can manipulate are sense of self worth.

P.S. if your not familar with youtube just press the pause button let it load first then press play. This way you can hear the songs in their entirety.

Today was a good record day, so I listened to what I got in the mail today:

Cheikh El Afrit and Raoul Journo (two Tunisian Judeo-Arabic singers from the 1930s, on two 45s pressed in Israel in the 1960s)

4 “Nonesuch Explorer” series LPs from the 1960s/1970s: music from India (street music of Bengal, and classical instrumental music from northern India), Bali (music for Balinese shadow plays), and Iran (from master santur player Nasser Rastegar-Nejad)

And the Grayson Warren Brown “Music for a soulfull people” LP I found yesterday at the Salvation Army…1970s black Catholic gospel music? You betcha! I loooove it. 👍

Plus the usual music I listen to almost every day: Tilahun Gessesse, Vladimir Vysotsky, Rita Abadzi, etc.
