The new Outkast album has not left my CD player for 2 weeks. The Andre3000 LP is incredible. Big Boi sucks, lol. She Lives In My Lap, featuring Rosario Dawson, is my absolute favorite song right now. What about you guys?

Well if you really must know: Lunachicks: "Luxury Problem" (I've been obsessed with this lately); The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black: "Black Date"; and Soundgarden: "SupernNkNomN" (This one has phenomenal staying power with me). Sorry. I only have a three CD carosel at this time.
Also been listening to "Earth vs. the Wildhearts"; "Duke Ellington Centenial edition"; The Clash:"London Calling"; Jorma Kaukonen "Blue CountryHeart"; Dandelion :I Think I'm Gonna Be SIck"; The Stooges "Fun House" (Whoa YEah!); and The Rolling Stones "Let It Bleed" ("I got nasty habits. I take tea at three...").
Now how do you like that?

stacy, those lyrics are from Live With Me! one of my all time fave Stones song from Let It Bleed (Moonlight Mile being my other favorite from Sticky Fingers)...I wore that vinyl out as a teen, so I am going to pull that out and listen to it again (I have it on CD now!).
And since I posted, I'll play too....I have the soundtrack to Taboo (London Cast), Boy George's U Can Never b2 Straight, Rick Springfield's Greatest Hits, The Who Who are You, and Dusty Springfield's Something Special.
Ohmygoddess the Stones were so good back then! I also love Moonlight Mile a lot too. I love how in the song "Let it Bleed" Mick sang "Well we all need someone we can cream on, and if you want it, well you can cream on me. All Ov-ah!!!" Whoa yeah they were good!
("I was dreaming of a steel guitar engagement, when you drunk my health in scented jasmine tea. You knifed me in my dirty filthy basement, with that jaded spaded junkie nurse. Oh What blessed Company!")
Those songs were so rich in lyric and music. I like "Begger's Banquet" a lot too, also "Exile on Main Street" (Which Liz Phair parellelled with her "Exile in Guyville" song for song).

I should have added that on my turntable is The Church's Starfish (thank you Kiki & Herb)...
any other's still with turntables?
And Stacy, when I was a teen, I used to come home tipsy mcwasted (my curfew was 1am) and then plug in my headphones (which were HUGE then) and listen to Moonlight Mile twice in a row...
Oh my yes! I used to do the same thing Randella. For a long time Moonlight Mile was one of my favorites to listen before sleep, when coming home late and quite intoxicated. Isn't that funny? I bet that song served that purpose for quite a few people("I got silence on my radio let the airwaves flow. Let the airwaves flow."). Also that "Live with me" from Let it Bleed, was quite a composition. I used to love every instrument on it, and that Leon Russell dixie rag style piano was a great touch; and the Bobby Keyes sax solo wailed! (Oh the servents they're so helpless there. The Cook she is a whore. The Butler has a place for her behind the pantry door. The Maid she's French, she's got no sense. She's gone with Crazy Horse; and when she strips, the Chauffer flips, the Pullman's eyes get crossed!)
BTW I have a turn table and I still use it now and then. There is still a Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour album on it at this moment from the morning of December 8, when I listened to it while putting on my make-up for work that day, as I wanted to get into the spirit of the New Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse and allignment of the 6 inner planets into a perfect hexagram that day. I turned to the Beatles, and I also listened to side 1 of the Yellow Submarine Album as well as Donovan's Greatest Hits before work. My initial inspiration was wanting to hear "Baby You're a Rich Man" and listen to Brian Jones of the Stones playing that Arabian snake charming horn on it. I've had some retro tastes lately. I still haven't gotten any Beatles on CD, so I have to listen to them on the vinyl (many of them with the green "Apple" label). Strangely enough the first Stones album I bought was "Let it Bleed" and the first Stones CD I bought was also "Let it Bleed."

I've gone total retro as well. Eric Clapton, The Guess Who and David Bowie. Got a chance to listen to Bowies newer stuff but he was much better in Drag.

Wow, Stacy our musical tastes are almost mirror images. The Magical Mystery Tour was one of my fave albums when I was experimenting (like many other late 70s suburban children) with acid in my early teens (goo goo ga joob)! I so wanted to be part of the 60s then, as those were far more freewheeling times. However, the 80s came right round, and I found my own era and my adolescent yearnings & coming out morphed into new wave (we're not gay, we're new wave!), but I still have my rock&roll roots.
The only Beatles I have on CD is Abbey Road (the rest are all vinyl)...Polythene Pam is my favorite song on that one, and no wonder and rather prescient at my young age that this song would hook me... (you should see Polythene Pam, she's so good-looking but she looks like a man, well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag), but You Never Give Me Your Money was another (though I loved the version from the BeeGees/Frampton horrid movie).

Hey Stacy Kudos for the mention of Superunkown. That album has a lot of staying power with me too. The song 4th of july is one of my all time favorite songs and limo wreck and like suicide,etc..hmm I gotta go put this on.
