In my cd player right now is a compilation CD of Superman-related songs.

[rusko]

mine is playing nsk sound system - live at czechtek 1998 (250bpm hardcore tekkno for those who dont know =)

[nameslave]

I'm playing a custom-made CD made up of MP3 LEGALLY downloaded from http://mp3.washingtonpost.com. This is the largest QUALITY MP3 collection I've come across which keeps updating on a daily basis, although it's kind of LOCAL to the Washington D.C. area.

[interactive]

That mp3 site at the washington post is pretty kewl. Right now I'm listening to Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal

[Chicken]

Is that the heavy metal-ish version re-do of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" ? I've always wondered who did that 2nd version, but I'm not sure that's what you're listening to.

Right now I'm listening to Ultra-Lounge (compilations of various artisits). I went searchign for it on the net to find a link and just found out there's a site: http://www.ultralounge.com/ It's mostly just funky old lounge music from back in the day. :D

This is the one I have (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/music/B000002U5V/holly-ultraloungecd/002-5529213-0050447), they have a bunch.

[Living Media]

Sarah McLaughlin's "Solace". She's got a nice voice, writes lovely music, but it's best when I'm doing something else and not thinking to myself, "This woman had some serious issues when she wrote these lyrics". Kind of puts a damper on my enjoyment in the music.

A few days ago, it was Arrogant Worms.

No one can say my musical tastes aren't eclectic. :)

I've never really listened to Michael Jackson, he just kind of wigged me out. But here's the lyrics:


As he came into the window
Was a sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She was sitting at the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down
It was her doom

Annie, are you OK
Are you OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
You OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie

Annie, are you OK
Will you tell us that you're OK
There's a sign at the window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
You've been hit by
You've been struck by
A smooth criminal

So they came into the outway
It was Sunday
What a black day
I could feel your salutation
Sounding heartbeats
Intimidations

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie

Annie, are you OK
Will you tell us that you're OK
There's a sign at the window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
You've been hit by
You've been struck by
A smooth criminal

Annie, are you OK
Will you tell us that you're OK
There's a sign at the window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie


Kind of long, my bad.

[Chicken]

Yep, that be Michael Jackson. If you've never heard the original, you can fid a sample of it on http://www.michaeljackson.com/ though I can't link you directly to it as it is flash, and a bit hard to find. It's off the "Bad" album.

[interactive]

Listened to it. First decent MJ song I've heard..

I'm not exactly a Michael Jackson fan, but this song, along with the MTV is MJ at his BEST. Sadly, he has since fallen from grace. Poor child.

[interactive]

Ya him and little kids need to stay far apart.

I am not going to comment on his p* charges, but I think he is the kind of person that refuses to grow up and face the reality. That's what I meant by "poor child". Actually, many pedophiles have similar mentality. Oops! ;)

Pure Disco 2 :D

My 14 year old hates it. :cool:

By the way, does anyone know of any GOOD source of free and copyright-free mp3 files. I have been to echovibes.com, not bad; but I need more to choose from, esp. with loop dance music/beat. Any idea of such websites of that capacity (not those on GeoCities)? Thanks.

[Chicken]

Someone posted this somewhere and I've slowly been checking out some of the bands and songs. Some good, some not so good: http://mp3.washingtonpost.com/

LOL!

[nameslave]

I am actually looking for clips that are copyright-free and can be used for website design (as in Flash or simple embed HTML tags). Songs on the Washington Post are copyrighted. By the way, go for the Editor's Picks for better ones; of course, not many people listen to music from Midori, Talking Heads to Eminem ... like me!

[Chicken]

Well, I have these bookmarked:
http://www.flashkit.com/loops/ - royalty free music loop archive

Unfortunately, were-here doesn't resolve on my end. This may be temporary, or the URL might literally suit them :(

[DarktidesNET]

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life

Love this song. :)

[Chicken]

Is that a free one? Where, how, who, why?

Thanks, Chicken. Flash Kit's loops page is very helpful. I am now working on a model agency site for my client and the owner (probably a model herself, looks like one at least) wants some up-beat music on her site.

[ZummiBear]

I also have Evanescence playing......you can get the full CD as well as other full cds off of www.music369.com or www.musiclines.com Its a major pop up hell....but it makes for easy downloading. They both usually have a decent selection of CDs....updating every day or every other day :) I do recommend the Evanescence: Fallen CD :) Amy Lee is just that awesome :)

[interactive]

Those legal? Anyways listening to Puddle Of Mudd right now :D.

[ZummiBear]

Hmm...not really sure. I just know they are both run out of the UK....and they are legal over there....however not sure if they are legal here in the states. Doesn't stop me from dling it though :)

[suppleSupport]

Can't stop the rock - apollo four forty

[ZummiBear]

lately I've been playin this one song.....its a really really lame song....yet I can't get enough of it....the video is super lame =/


Power Lunch - Har Mar Superstar

if you haven't heard it.....get it....you are in for a real treat

[rockergrrl]

Right now I'm playing the HairSpray SoundTrack (Musical - http://www.hairsprayonbroadway.com/).

I'm big on musicals (I've performed in them, active goer to musicals, and avid listener to musical soundtracks).

[Chicken]

Sadly, I get most of my 'new music news' from commericals lately. Saw a JCPenny ad and it had SUPERCHIC[K]'s One Girl Revolution playing. Seemed a bit different, not bad.

It is really lame... but in a good funky lame way. I've heard much worse. OK, TURN ME ON to something else funky fresh Zummi! Something like that will do. I'll try to find something for you in return, hmmm....

Pretty much anything by Superchic[k] falls into the lame yet someone interesting. Barlowe Girls, One Girl Revolution, Big Star Machine, Super Trooper, etc.

Reminds me of waitresses - xmas_wrapping (http://www.hardcafe.co.uk/waitresses/xmas_wrapping.htm), for some reason. Not at all alike, just something about the two.

EDIT:
I just found out that One Girl Revolution is on the "Legally Blonde" movie soundtrack (a movie I never saw), which means a couple of things. One, this song isn't new (not that that matters I suppose), and two it is probably lame and everyone already is sick of it.

[Chicken]

OK, one last one. Yet another old one that everyone has probably already heard, but it just happens to be in the rotation and I just realized that I like ti more and more every time I listen to it:

Matchbox Twenty - Disease

I feel it is quite possibly one of the better songs I've ever heard. just well done overall, and if you give it a bit of volume and have a subwoofer, mmmmmmm, yummy. There are two versions...

[OKIHost]

AC/DC - rock and roll ain't noise pollution :)

[interactive]

Nelly - Where da party at :D

My daily dose of hip hop

[Rewdog]

Bowling for soup - The girl all the bad guys want

[CompCity]

Tenacious D right now :). I have a pretty wide taste in music actually, next could be Reel Big Fish or Pennywise. Just as long as it's not country I can handle it :).

[shaunewing]

Currently in my CD player (3 disc)
- Norah Jones; Come Away With Me (Album)
- Andrea Bocelli; Cieli Di Toscana (Album)
- Carl Orff; Carmina Burana.

My music taste is very diverse so you'll hear a lot of different styles (with the exception of rap/hip hop) around me during the day :)

--Shaun

[net-trend]

Groove Armada - Lovebox
St. Germain - although it's an old album (1-2yrs old?), it still sounds so good till today....:)

Sorry about quoting kind of out of context, but this line of yours is really thought-provoking. ;)

Personally, I'm not that into rap music. But I honestly think that rap IS already becoming the mainstream of pop music and more importantly attributing (along with e-mail) to the revival of the written word among the younger generation.

Part of the reason is that rap music is mostly stemmed from the black sub-culture and inevitably contains the socio-economic context that even the so-called talented Miss Avril "he-was-a-punk-she-did-ballet-what-more-can-i-say" Lavigne lacks. And although their lyrics are very often too "explicit" (forget the "clean" version), it brings the power of words back to the pop music scene which has long been occupied by songs with lyrics that are optional, to say the least.

I'll be sure to look that up :) Another one that is really funny....but almost impossible to find (Kazaa can't even find it =/) is Dick & Jaynes song Spanky Spanky. Again the video is enough to make you bust out laughing.....however Dicks accent in it is kinda sexy =/ To find the video, go to mp4.com and sign up....it has a few videos on there that you can check out (how I found out about Har Mar Superstar) :) Hope you all enjoy :)

[NetXL]

I've been listening to Radiohead's new CD that slipped out. I'll be buying this one when it's on the shelves, it's nice.
Also been listening to lots of Powderfinger and Tomahawk.

[suppleSupport]

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow

:love:

[shaunewing]

*starts a sing-a-long*

...

We've got tonight babe.
Why don't you stay?

Deep in my soul
I've been so lonely
All of my hopes
faded away

...

:D

I'd better be off to bed... it's 2am here and when I have been up for > 19 hours (as I have) I start to feel a bit strange :o: (and considering I have to get up in 5 hours and do it all again).

I'm a little late to this one, but I've been listening to the new Linkin Park album almost non-stop

Right now is Linkin Park - Nobody's Listening

I never was a LP fan, but for some reason this album sounds really good to me :) I usually listen to a lot more mellow stuff, blues, jazz, acoustic...

[interactive]

Their New Album is good. But the local radio station here like blasts it 24/7 so it's already getting old.

[JeremyV]

ahh.. I don't listen to normal radio, so that's probably why I like it :D I listen to NPR (national public radio - talk/news) or sometimes the college funded station which plays a lot of blues, jazz, and world music you don't hear otherwise. Mainstream radio and MTV... wow, that is a whole different thread :mad:

[interactive]

I'm not a big fan of TV and such, feel its rather a waste of time. I listen to NPR, Michael Savage (no comparision), and Rush Limba (SP) quite a bit when I'm driving around. But turn on the radio quiet a bit to get some new tunes in my head, because afterall listening to the same stuff gets boring after a while (I mean same genres).

[BH-Michael]

Pretty much every song by Dire Straits / Mark Knopfler is playing on my iPod Mini, one after the other. When I get to the end, I start it all over again.

I've been told on multiple occasions that i'm a little obsessed- can't think what gave them that crazy idea ;)

[Adam]

Marques Houston - Pop That Booty

[Chicken]

:uhh: Pop... that... booty, eh? :splat:

[Adam]

I listen to all types of music heh, but my favourite is R&B/Hip-hop. Now I'm listening to Dead Prez - When Mama Cries next song is Cassidy - Get No Better.
