What have you been listening to lately?

[tjnkoo]

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti is a current favorite. ARK and Periphery are also up there. Pretty good variety there, haha. Digging the new Rush album this much later, as well as discovering a Norwegian prog band called Ritual which sounds like Yes+Rush+Jethro Tull. Interesting stuff.

Madlib : Beat Konducta vol 5-6, tribute to J Dilla
Slave, any of there records

[NightTripper]

The Beatles, as always. A lot of Tegan & Sara as well.

A few days ago I discovered Gary Clark, Jr. and he is awesome. And for the past few minutes I've been listening to Dead Meadow because someone posted about them in this very thread and it sounded interesting. I like it.

[Catanova]

Diggin the Funk and Blues, trying to gain a better style...

Repeatedly listening to:

Galactic "Coolin Off" and "Live After Midnight"
Govt Mule "The Deep End Vol 2"
Homebrew "Fourth and Long" and "Last One Standing"

Must admit that I have been learning Homebrew songs for the last year in order to play bass in the band's CD release party. The band's founding bassist, Alan Hodde, passed away prior to finishing the latest CD. He was an excellent musician and his parts have been really instructive for my bass vocabulary...

[lizardwizard28]

The sounds of animals fighting, deathgrips, baroness, queens of the stoneage, suftjan stevens, toto, John Frusciante

[burnunit]

I love threads like this.

Thom Yorke, Steve Reich, Steve Khan and Eyewitness.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite = great bass work

One of the best things I've heard in a long time. Taste is paramount, then a boat-load of chops, and finally the best pedal board on TB Effects put to good use in the service of the compositions. Even my wife digs this disc, and she's a tough critic.

Thank you (and your wife) for listening! Glad you are digging it.

I'm getting up to speed listening to quite a bit of classic and contemporary country, along with some '50s and '60s Rock & Roll. Quite a departure from the Contemporary Christian music I've been focusing on for the past almost 20 years (I'm still doing my worship team stuff, too).

But RIGHT NOW I'm getting into some Grand Funk Railroad, the band that first sparked my interest in the bass back in the early '70s.
