What's in Your CD Changer Right Now?

[Analogeezer]

I finally joined the new era earlier this year and wound up with a car
with a CD player in it...a changer even.

What has been a suprise is that having the changer kind of made me
listen to more and different CD's, instead of grabbing the same 10 or
20 from my collection.

I don't drive this car every day, so I usually keep the same rotation
for two weeks or so, sometimes longer even.

Could be kinda fun, list what you've got in your car changer this
week...

Mine:

(I usually put them in chronological order, Disc 1 is the oldest, Disc
6 the newest)

YES/Relayer

UK/UK (Eddie Jobson, Allan Holdswoth, Bill Bruford, John Wetton)

RUSH/Hold Your Fire

PETER GABRIEL/PETER GABRIEL (1980 album with the "melted face"
polaroid cover)

DREAM THEATER/Falling Into Infinity

BOZZIO/LEVIN/STEVENS/Black Light Syndrome

Same CD I put in it to test it after I installed it. Forget what.

No changer in the car; even if there was one I ususally prefer one
"album" at a time. Yesterday it was Buddy Miller's _Your Love and Other
Lies_.

I used to have a changer, but my current car just has a single disc
player. Nonetheless, I have a stack of discs handy at any given time.

Currently in the stack:

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Ten from Little Worlds
The Roches - Another World
Gillian Welch - Soul Journey
3 Pickers - Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs, and Ricky Skaggs
Tim O'Brien - Traveler (my favorite of the year, so far)
Laura Love - Welcome to Pagan Place
Merle Travis - Live in Boston 1959
Tish Hinojosa - Best Of, Live
a collection of country songs that I made from many CDs in my own
collection (Merle Haggard, Asleep at the Wheel, Iris DeMent, many more)
a 2 CD set bootleg of Nickel Creek live at the Freight and Salvage in
San Francisco from November 2000.

It's all great stuff.

Well the obvious answer is, the latest project you've been working on.
That's what's usually in mine (if I can stand to listen to it one more
time.)

But the CD that's keeps ending up in my player (I don't have a
changer) is "Hide Away: The Best of Freddy King" .... This is one of
the best records of all time. The entire history of modern blues/rock
and roll guitar is in this album. Very, very hip, with tasty rock
rhythms.........If you want to know where Clapton, Beck and the other
British Blues Masters got their sound check this record out........
Very different than some of the other old American blues masters, with
classic Originals like "Hide Away" and "I'm Tore Down".

My "Changer" isn't in my car, and it only "changes" one disc at a time.
Currently that disc is a sound collage project done entirely with
cassette decks by a couple of grade-school brothers. I mastered it for
a friend of mine, and was surprised how well Spark's built-in denoiser
plug-in worked. Idunno if I would have used it on music, but for a
bunch of Sesame Street samples it was great.

In my car, the "changer only flips between the front and back of the
cassette. I think stacked up below that machine right now I've got
Rust Never Sleeps, Hard Day's Night, and an old demo by a local band
called the Owls. Husband-wife duo of really cute songs. I think they
have an album out by now.

I'm rolling cassette only in my '84 accord, and right now it's mostly
been rough mixes of my stuff that hopefully I'll actually mix this
year and send off to rollmusic for the fairy dust.. Other than that,
it's White Light White Heat and mix tapes with the likes of Jack
Nizsche's Lonely Surfer, the Third Bardo, Mancini, Jackie DeShannon,
The Orlons, The Dixie Cups, etc.. plus some ****ed up "psych-out" mix
tape my friend gave me of lost acid oddballs.

There's a cd player in my wife's new car, and I think that has the
mono boot of Satanic Majesties Request, VU greatest "hits", Verve jazz
sampler, Wild Colonials, Licensed To Ill, The Doors, Everly Brothers
on Warner bros comp, Mazzy Star, Trinity Sessions, VU live (the Texas
one), etc.

Hit a deer last week. The deer won / the deer lost :-(. Defaced SUV in
the shop. So, from memory:

Thin Lizzy (remember them?)
EWF, "Best of Vol I"
Peter Frampton, "I'm In You"
A fairly good Flamenco CD from a bargain bin
Current Project (did not leave this one in the changer!)

Me neither - I use a Sony Walkman style CD player plugged into the tape
deck socket.

Last CD I had in it hasn't made it to the replicators yet, I just finished
it last night!

Sure do! and I've been doing my best to re-invigorate the Lizzzz revolution
(well atleast in my four seater!)

In my six cd changer (and I'll add my next vehicle will have a single-in
dash...can't stand the changer):

1. Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
2. Martin Sexton - The American
3. Burt Bacharach - The Collection Disc 2
4. Bad Brains - I against I
5. Bruce Springsteen - Wild, Innocent & The E St. Shuffle
6. Rick James - Ultimate Collection (how is Anthology by the way - I need
more of this guys stuff!)

All items (outside of the Liz, Sexton and Bad Brains are subject to change
without notice - often replaced by the Mats, Prince, Jellyfish or some
Halen pre Hagar)

Before you bark - I'll admit I'm all over the place!!!

All of these artists (and most albums) are on Listen.com. I know I hawk this
every once and a while (and I have no affiliation). It's just such a great
service, unlimited streaming $9.95/month and .79 cent burns that are non
proprietary and to me are indistinguishable from the CD (at least on my
regular listening system). They have an ingenious system for delivering that
high bandwidth stuff but I'm on cable so it's fast anyway. It's just that
every time someone post something like this and I want to try and catch some
new stuff it's usually there which is a big help for me.

[Romeo Rondeau]

I'd go for the Jellyfish and the Van Halen. How 'bout some old Elton John or
maybe Billy Joel? Then there's always the Beatles Abbey Road and Sgt.
Pepper, my two favorite albums of all time, I never get tired of them.

Well that's a nice surprise. FWIW, there's a second CD, a Christmas

enthusiasm. Glad you like it and thanks for the reference.

In my changer:

-Nixon in China (John Adams)
-A Rainbow in Curved Air (Terry Riley)
-the latest Michelle Branch
-Les McCann, "Invitation to Openness" (I swear!!)
-Something with Chinese printing which I think is an "Erhu" master from Bejing.

Yeah, I've got the Christmas (and the brass) CDs.
But I also like the WWWYCF best.

I gotta get that. First heard on a CBS Masterworks
sampler of "new music" released on a 7" flexible
Eva-Tone Soundsheet.

Just went over to Amazon to see if the other favorite
from that sampler was available on CD. It is...
Conlon Nancarrow: Studies for Player Piano
Some truly strange/amazing stuff. Unplayable by humans.

[Pat Janes]

My changer is iTunes. All CDs I own though...

Most played recently:

Firewater - The Man On The Burning Tightrope
Richard Thompson - The Old Kit Bag
Donal Lunny - Coolfin
Genetic Drugs - Karma Pharma
David Francey - Torn Screen Door
Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow
Cornershop - Handcream for a Generation
V/A - Bhangra Beatz
Jurassic 5 - Power in Numbers
John Hiatt & the Goners - Beneath This Gruff Exterior

[Ethan Winogrand]

My wife uses our car more than me with our 3 1/2 son. His favorite
song is Herbie Hancock´s Cantalope Island, though he requests it as
Freddie Hubbard. So I´ve recently added Dave Brubeck´s Take Five and
Kind of Blue with the hopes he´ll go for one of those and give me a
rest on the Hancock. We also have Abbey Road, some Mozart and my own
recently released cd; Made In Brooklyn.

Ciao,

Lets see, my car is my main listening room...Steve Earle and the Del
McCorry band is in there...I hated bluegrass but now I love it..I
think I associated bluegrass with hippies and I always hated
hippies...long hair is cool, etc..just the cooler (mellower)than thou
line bothered me. My 14 year old loves "techno rock" so we listed to
Yes Fragile and Jethro Tull on the way to the soccer fields. I also
have Sarah McLaughlin's Fall in Escasy or something like that. I
liked it when it first came out but it seems to be short of substance
in my current frame of mind. I almost **** when I got into my wife's
car and found she had been listening to my CD! Ahhhh...a fan at last.

A lot of this stuff is doing very little for me. It's great
rediscovering Kid A, tho. The Bley album has a real problem with
overloads on trombone: I think the guy got right up on the mic and they
decided to vote in favor of the performance vs. the audio.

That's funny. When I was a hippy (back in the day), I always associated
bluegrass with rednecks. I'm not much of a hippy these days, nor a
redneck for that matter, but I sure love bluegrass.

The most startling juncture I've ever witnessed was Willie Nelson's
first appearance at AWHQ with Michael Murphy. The wildest collection of
shoeless, braless hippy chicks and their hairy old men standing
alongside a whole lotta shakin' big haired women in those old pointy-tit
bras and their old men who couldn't keep their eyes off the hippy
chick's chests when they weren't lookin' at Willie. Whoo hooo, bubba, if
this is psychedelic, space me _out_!

brilliance of this one, methinks)

Only a five-CD changer here. My iPod has everything else in it and

Maybe an organ that's been dosed ;>

According to the album cover, the title track is "electric organ,
electric harpsichord, rocksichord, dumbec and tambourine."

It's also a stunning use of tape delay.

A bit of recording history from a recent magazine interview:

"Rainbow in Curved Air was a one-man electric circus geared to
recreate the experience of Riley's all-night concerts. "There was a
sensibility that was changing in the late '60s," says Riley. "It would
have been hard to create these records five years earlier. The Curved
Air sessions were the first recording sessions made on an eight track
machine at CBS. They wheeled it in, it was brand new and nobody had
even used it yet."

If you like this sorta thing, hope you get to hear it again. I record
modern synths all the time and this 34 year old recording sounds
particularly wonderful.
