The Fancy Bastard Forum

I listen to Tool like a maniac, at least one song from every album every day.
Other than that:
I discovered MIA (not the rapper, a German group) through a freak accident on twitter (long story) Check out their video "Zirkus" on youtube.
A surprising amount of the music I find myself humming is stuff I think up myself during the 3-mile walk to class in the morning (this morning was a theme song for my psych prof. about being a private-eye with his crime fighting dog and incredible Tae-Kwon-Do skills. Half of that sentence is true.)
System of a Down
Metalocalypse Soundtrack

What I currently have in my favorites list:

Also Sprach Zarathustra (Theme to 2001 a Space Odyssey)
Dancing Through Life (Wicked)
The Wall-e Soundtrack
The Wall (Pink Floyd)
The Asteroid Field (Star Wars Episode IV)
The Back to the Future Overture
Blue Collar Man, Come Sail Away, and Lady '95 (Styx)
Carry on my Wayward Son
Come as you are (Nirvana)
Many Weird Al songs
Firefly theme
Dr Horrible Soundtrack
Hymn to the Red October
Several songs from the Les Mis soundtrack
The Power of Love (it’s on the Back to the Future soundtrack)

There is no real pattern to what I listen to, except I avoid rap. The play list I listen to at work is 783 songs long, so I just gave you my favorites.

I listen to way too much music, at the moment (as in right now) I'm listening to -

The Ideal Height - Biffy Clyro

My list is way too long, but I right now I've got Buck Cherry, Jack Johnson, Plain White t's, AC/DC, Ben Harper, and Matt Caplan in my playlist. Matt Caplan's an indue singer/ssongwriter out of NYC (he's been in Rent and other shows) who I highly recommend.
Anyone heard of Austrian Death Machine? My brother found them by accident, and they have songs like "Get to the Chopper" and "Who is Your Daddy and What Does He Do". The podcast always makes me think of them.

Hrm, a Jagged Gorgeous Winter by the Main Drag, Where did you go by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and Everlong by the Foo Fighters are currently always playing. I know they're all from Rock Band 2, but my love for Rock Band is the fact it introduced me to so many great songs/albums, etc.

Rasputin (live) by Boiled in Lead is another favorite of mine, thanks to Pandora. There's also this singer, Melody Gardot, who has an angelic voice. I happened upon her from a Free iTunes download.

"Long Island" by The Wave Pictures has been on loop the past couple of days. It's catchy, and sorta sounds like "Aqualung"-era Jethro Tull- JT being another band I'm big into, as is ELO.

I also went back and listened to Ziggy Stardust on vinyl last weekend.

(Yes, it's still awesome.)

Of course it is, and on vinyl? How very Fancy bastard of you...

The broadway recording of Wicked: the musical. Idina Menzel is damned incredible, her voice is just beautiful.

Joel just posted a tweet about Julia Nunes. I had never heard of her, which is surprising, considering I actually check out YouTube uke videos with some regularity. Now I'm pissed that I missed her NYC performance dates! Yet another example of HijiNKS Ensue being a source of geek goodness.

I actually saw her videos a few weeks ago. I think I might have been youtubing weezer covers. I sort of watched then put it away in my mind.

Point is, it's an internet small world.

Oh wow, quite the hypocrisy here, I've downloaded a whole metric ton of things, and haven't listened to half of them. BUTTTT, an album I did buy, and thoroughly enjoyed, is the new Matthew Good: Vancouver. Consider doing a Wiki search on him, and you'll see why he's so likable. The man is/was very, very self-destructive, and nearly killed himself before getting clean and releasing 2006's Hospital Music (an album he wrote, obviously, in a hospital, as he recovered/went through all sorts of shit no one really should go through). Vancouver is the follow-up, and although a tad overproduced, is very, very good. Ummmm, Queen, Rush, Triumph, Blink 182, Black Sabbath (only the first albums, before they got into that cycle of kicking out/adding new members after Ozzy left), Pearl Jam (I hate, hate HATE Cobain and Nirvana, for being popular only because Cobain died, honestly he had no talent), and of course, Coulton's work from John Hodgman's The Areas Of My Expertise. And since it's Christmas, Vince Guaraldi, the original composer of everything Peanuts, including Linus And Lucy, and any and all things that followed in the TV specials (brilliant Jazz pianist).

I've been listening to alot of Trance recently. Not sure why.
