What Are You Listening To?

[sweetcell]

this isn't "what am i listening to", but "what could i be listening to": live shows from many Live Nation venues, bought through iTunes:

iTunes Got Live If You Want It

Looking for live recordings of your favorite concert performers? iTunes? new ?Live? section just might have what you want, especially if the show took place at a Live Nation venue.

Broken down into categories like ?Live In Rock,? ?Live Pop,? ?Live Country,? ?Live Singer/Songwriter? and ?Live Classical,? the section also features more artist-specific selections such as ?Pearl Jam Official 2006 Bootlegs,? ?Jason Mraz Live On Earth? and ?Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden.?

There is also a special Live Nation section debuting today that features exclusive audio and video of shows that took place at the promotion company?s venues. Live Nation has wired many of its venues for the filming and recording of concerts and is now selling the finished products only through iTunes.

?We are thrilled to offer artists a new high-quality platform to share the magic of their live shows with their fans,? said Live Nation president and CEO Michael Rapino.

Some of the titles in the Live Nation section of iTunes' new Live division include ?OK Go Live At the Fillmore New York At Irving Plaza? ($7.99), ?Saving Abel Live At The House Of Blues? ($7.99) and ?Hilary Duff Live At Gibson Amphitheatre August 15, 2007? ($9.99).

Some films can even be rented, meaning the downloads time out and cease playing 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, depending on which comes first.

Currently listening to the new Zoot Woman album, and I'm shoe-ing it in for Top 10 albums of the year. Do you like really well put together, smart pop music? Oh, yeah? You'll love it.

I saw them last Monday at the Black Cat.  tix were a wedding present, so I went in knowing nothing about him, other than the single "home" which is all over the place.

Nevertheless, I wasn't too terribly into it, not because it was bad, more because it was just all over the place and inconsistent, being that I didn't know it.  Nevertheless, the sold out crowd there seemed to really love it.

Listening to Water Here and Everybody Hurts (better than the original) by Bodies of Water. Excellent!

new smashing pumpkins: http://www.spinner.com/2009/12/07/smashing-pumpkins-a-song-for-a-sun-song-premiere/

decent radio fodder: pseudo-introspective lyrics, mournful piano intro/outro, bombastic solo (vaguely reminiscent of what slash would do), 70's-style wall of guitar.  i'm not a fan of the vocal sound, too forward and dry.

guaranteed aggravate the corgan-haters.  this song will do nothing to rekindle your lost love of the pumpkins.

Between repeated requests from my daughter for "Frosty the Snowman", I'm listening to the new albums by the Watson Twins and Charlottle Gainsbourg. The women are starting off strong in 2010.

Also going through my top 100 of the decade list.
