As a rabid music consumer/snob and occasional rock climber, the Doctor has been wondering what y'all are listening to on the way to the crags. 5 or 10 albums you don't leave home without, or always get you psyched and seem to find their way into the CD spinner?

 

Ho-hum; yeah, another boring survey-type thread. Forgive DFA, for he is sleepy [sleep] and bored, and quickly lost interest in the intense controversy threads.

knock, knock, knock yourself out, woo-oo-oo!

 

Too bad all of their albums aren't as rocking as East Bay Grease. Too much of that sappy ballad crap.

For driving anywhere between Squamish and Portland I mostly prefer listening to the radio. I once sang along to 96.5fm for 4 hours straight while stuck on the 405. [geek] Bellingham used to have a good college station too.

While many have hoped, in a vain attempt to get intimate with DFA, that he's of the jelly-finger ilk, alas, it is not so. Better luck next time, old chap.

 

As far as tunes go, the top choices are:

 

Hot Water Music - 'No Division'

Less Than Jake - 'Borders & Boundaries'

Fugazi - 'The Argument'

Tito Puente - 'Dance Mania'

Avail - 'Over the James'

Slow Gherkin - 'Shed Some Skin'

NOFX - pick an album

Rancid - pick an album

Alkaline Trio - 'Maybe I'll Catch Fire'

some reggae, maybe Culture or Bob Marley

 

Otherwise, pretty much anything by the artists listed above, or any other various punk rock, ska, or reggae, and a smattering jazz, funk/soul, blues, hip-hop, acid jazz etc. No fucking techno, though.

 

If the radio should, by some miracle, be on, it's probably tuned to NPR.

DFA was introduced to Bill Frisell while previewing (prelistening?) hi-fi equipment, and liked him OK, so the Doc picked up 'Gone, Just Like A Train'. Not bad, a pretty eclectic collection, but DFA liked the more dissonant sounds, and less of the rest of the disc. At seventeen bucks a pop, the man's CDs aren't cheap. Any recommendations for other material? Rumor has it the Bill Frisell/Elvin Jones disc is a winner.

Off, how many albums would you estimate that you own, out of music-geek curiosity?

It's an aquired taste. [laf][chubit] I used to hate it years ago, but after years of listening to the studio stuff I got hooked. None of the radio hits are that good. No one else sounds like them, guess that's one reason I like it.

Stones - Exile

Leo Kottke - Mudlark

Jon Prine - Sweet Revenge

Peope who ride in the car with me get sick of vinyl on cassettes. CDs are for the masses. Live the low-fi.
