WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

The original Chapman Sticks were  made using this wood (Iron Wood).

I did not know that , very interesting !  
 Thanks ___

I think Iron Wood is also referred to as Pau Ferro.  I had not ever been involved in a hijacking of a thread until now.  Sorry to all the family here, but good information is valuable.

No worries, back on track.
Listened to Dream Theater's Dark Side; found that very enjoyable. Great album covered very well.
 
Also dusted off Chris Rea's Tennis, for being an 80's album, I rather enjoy the material, especially the understated yet pivotal bass playing.

Genesis Wind and Wuthering, 1976. I get back to this from time to time, and then it?s Trick of the Tail and And Then There were Three... loving it since I was 10 years old, and still going strong.

Today I've been listening to some howling wolf from a recently bought cd and also rhinoceros album better times are coming.

I haven't had a song hit me like this in awhile.  The last time it happened, it was Snarky Puppy.  They did it again?..  
 
Hot damn, this is a good one.

That IS so cool! Snarky Puppy are awesome! I don't listen to much Zappa and larger bands these days so it's nice to be reminded of what they can do...wow...

[slawie]

That's the first time I've heard them. Hot damn is right.  
That's not swearing is it?
Thanks for the post. I played it LOUD!

[pauldo]

That was the greatest way to start my Sunday.
I donned the headphones and cranked it on the ipad; rocking in the rocking chair swinging my head!.
 
That gave my goosebumps a workout. Snarky Puppy has  such cool grooves that sneak in and out of the song, seamless juxtapositions- truly powerful music.

[speicky]

Listening to some Extreme tunes right now... waiting for the punchline. Raw, bluesy, somewhat sad...
Just to exhaust a little from celebrating Dream Theater  Watched a Show in Offenbach in February, and still hypnotized...
 
cheers, Christian

Just received the new DVD, Dream Theater Live At Luna Park. Outstanding!!!

Steven Wilson's latest, Riverside S.O.N.G.S., the Police box set & Zappa's  Keep It Greasyfrom Joes Garage 2...what a mix!

Pete Special passed away May 11, so I've been going back to his Mozart Street and Big Twist & the Mellow Fellows' Playing For Keeps (the latter came out in '84, while I was their stage manager).  Despite Twist's name on the logo, it was Pete's band.
Also Pure Prairie League's first & second albums, and Roomfull of Blues Hot Little Mama (my copy has the black-teddy-and-fan cover, not the cowgirl-blowing-smoke-away version).

Inspired by a different thread - I listened to Marcus Miller - Silver Rain.
 
On this disc he does a version of Frankenstein that is killer - and oddly enough associated with another thread . . .  he plays it a little slower than the original but it grooves like the Grand Canyon!
