stormdogI haven't played Rock Band in a while, and I haven't had room to set up my drum set in a while. (I'm planning to work on that as I progress with getting stuff out of the house.) But as I'm doing more balancing of the checking accounts here tonight and listening to music from the Rock Band soundtrack, I'm thinking again about all these bands that I'd never listened to until the game. Crooked X. The Beastie Boys. Nine Inch Nails. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Hole. Fall Out Boy. Just tons of good stuff.
While I'm on the subject of music, I'm trying to decide what to put in the car on my trip. I have a twelve disc changer in it. It's currently loaded with:
3 CDs of world music that looked interesting at the Goodwill. Unfortunately they're not, and they'll come out.
Fur - Blitzen Trapper
Everything That Happens Will Happen Today - David Byrne and Brian Eno
Sondheim, Etc - Bernadette Peters
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Apollo 18 - They Might Be Giants
Factory Showroom - They Might Be Giants
Flood - They Might Be Giants
That leaves me with 7 slots. A few will be things I know well and I can sing loudly along with to stay awake. *grins* Those will probably be:
A Few Small Repairs - Shawn Colvin (I love this whole album so much.)
Surfacing - Sarah McLachlin
God Shuffled His Feet - Crash Test Dummies
A Worm's Life - Crash Test Dummies
I'm trying to decide what to put in the last three slots. I could always do more They Might Be Giants, but more variety might be good too.
I'm thinking K.D. Lang's Hymns of the 49th Parallel for one. The Trinity Sessions by The Cowboy Junkies might be good, but it's a little too quiet, and not quite as sing-alongable, if that's a word.
I definitely need to get my copy of Nevermind back from a friend of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
akreaveter's before we go, and that will be in there. Just one more to decide on. Though I may swap Ms. Peters out too. Beautiful music, but again, not necessarily sing-along-and-stay-active music. Or maybe not. My dad teaches theatre; maybe I can get him to sing along. *grins*
I could always make a mix disc or two too. I can keep Bernedette in there with Making Love Alone and Unexpected Song, both of which are full of win and awesome but in, uh, rather different ways.
Maybe I'll go with something tried and true and round it out with Revolver or Abbey Road.
What's your driving music?
