Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted October 7, 2002 Posted October 7, 2002 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 and bored, and quickly lost interest in the intense controversy threads. Quote
Greg_W Posted October 7, 2002 Posted October 7, 2002 Must have some Pearl Jam, Social Distortion, Red Hot Chili Peppers. I must be bored too, to respond to this lame ass thread. Isn't this what Dwayner was bitching about? Quote

fern Posted October 7, 2002 Posted October 7, 2002 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. Bellingham used to have a good college station too. Quote

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. [ 10-07-2002, 03:58 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ] Quote

mattp Posted October 7, 2002 Posted October 7, 2002 I'm with you, AA. It was kind of the precursor for rock and roll elevator music. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted October 7, 2002 Author Posted October 7, 2002 quote: Originally posted by Crackbolter: How about Bill Frizell? 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. Quote

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.
