Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now?

So a small review of [glow=red,2,300]Red Hot Chili
Peppers[/glow] was on Sunday Morning
HTML http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/sunday/main3445.shtml?tag=hdr;cnav<br
/>this past sunday and it sparked my interest. I'm blown away ho
w
long they have been around and how old these guys are. So I
thought I'd give them a listen. Besides the one or two songs
that have been played I know nothing.
Well, the library had 5 of their releases including the greatest
hits.
Oh my, I did not think I could dismiss them so fast. Their style
is hard to pinpoint, but there was nothing there remotely
interesting me. I don't think Anthony Kiedis voice is anything
to right home about, in fact, I think it's pretty bad. Sorry, I
gave it shot, but dayum, RHCP are not for me.

The Peppers are definitely an acquired taste. It's a cross
between funk and alt rock with a whole lot of other ingredients
mixed in. If you were to just go with one album, it would have
to be Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Mother's Milk. Okay, that's two.
But since you have already given them a listen and found it's
not to your liking, you could definitely get off on this

[glow=red,2,300]Blue Man Group - How To Be A Megastar [/glow]
[IMG]

Watching Blue Man Group should be on everyone's bucket list. I
think they are very entertaining. Listening to the CD is whole
other issue. It's generic Rock with an emphasis on percussion.
They even admit that they are striving for the primal emotion.
So I don't think people are going to just listen to this CD and
get much out of it, but experience the whole show with audio,
vision, and feeling.

[glow=red,2,300]BTO - Anthology[/glow]
[IMG]

I've loved BTO from the day they began. For the most part it's
simple 3 chord rock with gutsy vocals. A far cry from the Guess
Who sound. This double CD pretty much covers any good stuff they
have... which is a lot. Some songs surprisingly teeter on lounge
music. But if you listen closer and closer, you will start to
notice the excellent guitar work. These guys knew how to bend
the strings. Some great solo work throughout.

[glow=red,2,300]Kill Bill Vol 1 (Soundtrack)[/glow]

There are some pure jems on this disc and not good. But hey,
they worked for the movie(s). I can't believe how crystal clear
these are considering some of them are quite old.
It starts off with just a now iconic classic track Bang Bang (My
Baby Shot Me Down) - Nancy Sinatra
HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaVNfZWBVhQ
and then I absolutely love this extended version of Don't Let Me
Be Misunderstood - Santa Esmeralda

I'm waiting for Vol 2 :)

[CENTER]Kill Bill Theme Song
HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmHh5WNMCHU
I use to love this one for like...ever. But the song began to
sour on me when every TV show out there started using it in
their slow-walk montage scenes. They took a great song and then
they beat it into the ground. I lost count of how many times I
have seen this song pillage in some way, shape or form.
:::sigh:::

Up to a month ago, I had never heard of these guys. I am
pleasantly surprised to really enjoy this whole album. It's pop
music at it's best. Kind of a mash of Jason Mraz and Maroon 5. I
especially like For The First Time and the hit Nothing.
While they've got a formula for good music, I can see it
sounding the same. Hope they push their creativity.
