Not really what I'm listening to, but all I can hear coming from my bro's bedroom is Long Dream from The World Ends With You. He can't wait for the OST to come out, so he's just leaving his DS running listening to it.
Loreena McKennitt - Mystic's Dream
Rammstein - Sonne
J. Geils Band - Centerfold
Tommy february6 - Lonely in Gorgeous
MELL - Red Fraction
The Police - Don't Stand So Close To Me
Little Feat - Dixie Chicken
Just got Steve Winwood's new album Nine Lives, so have given that a spin today.
Lead single Dirty City features his old bandmate Eric Clapton on guitar (though not in the video)
No way! I wrote a song called "Dirty City" too. Only mine's not as good as Steve Winwood's obviously... That guy is pretty awesome. He came to a festival here in Sonoma, California. I was a volunteer backstage, and he was the coolest guy there. Some of the musicians had weird requests, like "festival staff cannot make eye contact" (seriously!) But Mr. Winwood was hanging out in a lawn chair outside the backstage area... like just in the grass chillin. We need more cool musicians like him. When he's onstage he plays four parts at once on the organ, rhythm part with the left hand, lead part with the right hand, bass part with bass pedals, and he sings... I was impressed. He played that song "Bring me a higher love" and people loved it, haha
I don't often have time to listen at my desk, but in my car this week:
Devo-Devo's Greatest Hits
Weezer-Weezer
Portishead-Dummy
Elvis Costello-My Aim is True
Cree Summer-Street Faerie (Cree used to be on the Cosby Show spinoff, A Different World as Freddie. CD was produced by Lenny Kravitz and he does a duet with her. Great CD!)

I love Elvis Costello.
His wife, Diana Krall, was the one I was talking about in the previous post. As a festival volunteer it was officially my job to avoid eye contact with her. The whole celebrity thing is so weird.

I lived in Sonoma for the best part of a year (well, Geyserville) as I was a cellarhand at Geyser Peak / Canyon Road winery over vintage.
Saw the Rolling Stones & Pearl Jam at Oakland Stadium and Prince (with Santana guesting) at Mountain View near Palo Alto while we were there (1997-1998).

Good times, good times.
My grandma was a big Rolling Stones fan. She's been to a bunch of shows. A cool grandma for sure!
I know this is getting slightly off topic from the original Title of the thread, but Pearl Jam is an amazing band to see acoustic. They play at Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit every year. I have a great bootleg of the show actually....
