Damn straight she is! In fact, she is using her shiney shiney Vinyl converter to make her 7" singles into MP3s. So far, the list has been:
Ave Maria (Not a 7". Actually a 1904 Gramophone record)
The Cure- Love Song
Lipps, Inc- Funkytown
fields.-Heretic

and then currently uploading, there is:
The Stranglers- Golden Brown (with added crackle)
Madonna- Get Into The Groove
Blondie- Call Me

Yet to be ripped:
The Cure- Lovecats
Boney M- Daddy Cool
The Guillemots- Trains To Brazil
The Rapture- Get Myself Into It
Franz Ferdinand- Do You Want To
M Craft- You Are The Music
The Monkees- Last Train To Clarksville
Bonnie Tyler- Holding Out For A Hero
Donna Sumer- Love To Love You Baby
Amii Stewart- Knock On Wood
(and then I'm going to bed)

Yay musics! And whilst I'm converting these, I'm listening to The Fall.

My MP3 player loves The Cramps. I put 'Off The Bone' and 'Songs The Lord Taught Us' on there, and it chucks a good fistful at me every time I plug my noggin in. 'Garbageman' is a highlight, it has to be said, but 'Human Fly' and their cover of 'Fever' are also must-haves.

FU - good to know I have my uses. And yes, slice of wonderful it is. Have you watched 'Screaming Masterpiece'? Also good. I love Slowblow with their weird and wonderful look-what-i-made-at-school-today-mum instruments - plus musical saw! Win!

Daria - vinyl ripping and the Fall? Sounds like my kind of night in. What Fall though? And props to your 'Funkytown' 7".

My New House, F-olding (sp?) Money, Shake Up and a load of others. Basically randomly going through Wyt's Fall collection (in otherwords, their discography)

I am now listening to The Distillers.

L'Oiseau de feu - Stravinsky. Oh wow, it is too good. It gives me goose bumps every time.

I have recently discovered Hot Chip.

Maketh me happy.

MAN get with the times
(I love The Warning. It's so calm and chilled, but with the lyrics "Hot Chip will break your legs, cut off your head")

Hot Chip are quite excellent - 'Over And Over' is one of the most addictive singles of recent times. Smashing. I picked up David Shrigley's 'Worried Noodles' recently, and the Chip track on that is mad as tits.

I've decided to break away from my ususal at-work random selection, and actually listen to some albums as the bands intended. First up I've got Burial's 'Untrue' - an album that makes me pine for the heydays of triphop. Portishead back for 2008? So say the rumours - though they've been saying that for about five years now.

I've recently been enjoying the Steely Dan album, Two Against Nature. It's very nice, laid back music.
And a bits of Cold play.

Heh, Spoon...

Telephono to be specific.

I've got Not Turning Off stuck in my head, so "Oh honey, oh please, it's just a machine!" is going through my head. Constantly.

I can't STAND dubstep. Just do not like. Trouble is, Wytu bums it and loves Burial. I mainly don't like Burial because of the anoying vocals that make it sound like bad 90s Garage. Having said that, Archangel is like a very very foggy, decaying urban area and it is growing on me (don't tell Wyt >_>)

Oh dear. That's how it happened for me. I was a bit sniffy about the whole thing, and then 'Archangel' started to get under my skin. Now I don't love it, but I do enjoy it.

Some management bigwig has taken away our music-at-work priveledges (boo...) but I can still get a few tunes in on the way and the way back. A combination of Faith No More and Peeping Tom put a spring in my step this morn. Marvellous.

What industry are you in Inky? Taking away music from game developers would be like taking away crack from the hookers - it would work for a little while but then they'd fall apart.

I'm intrigued by the sound of Archangel, what's the album to go for?

The album is Untrue.

Today, I have been listenin' to Soul. Yeah!

I'm doing IT support for Phones4U. Yes, I do often say 'turn it off, turn it on again'. It works, damnit.

Daria is right, the album is 'Untrue' - and it's a grower. I've picked up his first, self-titled album, but I've not listened to it yet. I've heard 'Night Bus' off that album, and it's a particularly mournful tune made mostly of rain and brief snatches of radio. It's oddly like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, though I doubt the rest of the album follows in that vein.

I recently picked up a buttload of albums from my old boss at his new second-hand music venture, www.musicmagpie.co.uk - a must-visit for those of you who actually still pay for music. I was especially happy with my acqusition of 'Spiderland' by Slint (woo! wonky misery mit guitarism! Mogwai taking notes in background!) and 'Anniemal' by Annie (for my inner pop bitch - 'Chewing Gum' was the best single I'd heard in whatever year it was it came out...), though I've yet to listen to 'Real Life' by Joan As Policewoman, 'Rounds' by Four Tet, and my revisit to Tricky's 'Maxinquaye' is looooong overdue...

The other day when my friend was visiting from across the country, he told about this song he had stuck in his head, that Mika - Grace Kelly song. And now it's stuck in my head... Along with Love Today, I couldn't relax last night because I'd lay in bed and suddenly-- Everybody's gonna love today, love today, love today everybody...

He's got a really nice voice though.

Heh. When his album came out last year, Wytu and I were at a record shop in a trainstation and I asked the sales clerk what the music was like (as it hadn't been picked up by my I-Don't-Listen-To-Radio-But-Know-All-The-Cool-New-Music-Because-I-Am-Cool-I-Wonder-Whether-This-Is-Cool radar). As the words "sugar pop, a bit like the Scissor Sisters" came out of his mouth, the CD was put back on the rack and we pressed on with getting the DVD we were buying. I'm sorry, I just can't stand Mika.

Micah P Hinson, on the other hand
After that rant about Mika, I am listening to The Guillemots. I still can't get over just how beautiful their music is.

Oof, all the 'hags at my school loved Mika.

I am being nostalgic with the Mountain Goats and Pavement, Get Lonely and Crooked Rain, respectively.

God bless you for that - especially the Pavement. There aren't enough Pavement fans in this world, say I. I just wish Domino/Matador would get on with that damn album special edition release schedule - I want a two-disc 'Terror Twilight'!!!

I don't mind a (tiny) bit of Mika. I found 'Grace Kelly' a fun song, but when that 'Big Girls' song came out, I nearly lost my lunch. What a truly awful bag of bums that number was...

The first disc of Rough Trade's 'The Record Shop' was my walking buddy this wet and windy morn. I remain particularly pleased with how well 'Kill' by the Mekons, 'I Wanna Destroy You' by the Soft Boys and 'Work' by Blue Orchids huddle together. Triffic.

I'm meant to be DJing for a party in February and, as I have no rhythm whatsoever ( I have tried and failed playing various instruments), I am going to use a computer instead of turntables. Lame, I know.
So I'm starting to make up a playlist of things that I'm going to add to over the month. Right now, I am listening to Pere Ubu.

What kind of stuff will you be playing?

Nouvelle Vague and Jeremy Warmsley. Fun times!

Well, I started to collate some of the things I wanted to play, and thusfar it includes:
Iggy Pop
Voxtrot
Green Velvet
Franz Ferdinand
The White Stripes
Pere Ubu
Saul Williams
Joy Division (yeah!)
Hot Chip
Los Valdemosas
Mr Scruff
Soulwax
Basement Jaxx
System Of A Down
The Chemical Brothers
The Distillers
ZZ Top
The B-52s
12 Rods
The Aliens
The Beatles
The Longcut
The Kinks
Does It Offend You, Yeah?
The Squirrel Nut Zippers
Editors
Dogs Die In Hot Cars
Plan B
M Craft
BRMC
The Fall
Propeller Heads
Venetian Snares
The Cure
Yeah. It goes on a bit! I'm hoping that people at the party will enjoy dancing to the same kind of music I do

o_O

Varied. I like it. You go rock dat house.

Hahaha, thank you
And on that note, am now listening to (and feeling the bass vibrations from) Mr Scruff- Ug.

To fulfill all potential awesomeness as a DJ, this is essential gear.

I'm also listening to nothing because my headphones broke which is ridiculous because it just is. Rar.

That's amazing!

I am listening to this www.wytukaze.bounceme.net:8000

I'm listening to Izzy's voice on the phone, it's very exciting.

I'm listening to Ghost by Berg Sans Nipple. ding ding ding.

Interpol, which makes me remember how it felt to be a freshman in high school, walking in the snow. NYC, off of Turn on the Bright Lights, the album also known as my mid-December anthem-maker back then when I was smaller.

I'm partial to a bit of Interpol myself, especially anything off 'Antics'. It was an album most of us agreed on at Music Zone, so it got plenty of stereo time.

This morning was brought to my ears by the Decemberists and their lovely folky biscuit 'The Crane Wife'. Cheers for that, guys!

An insanely long list of... well... a bunch of different music.

Currently: Black Night by Deep Purple

Today I am going to listen to The National, Radiohead and Thom Yorke's solo stuff. And perhaps some Mogwai, Interpol and Tom Vek.

It's all about a band cleverly named 'F***' this week. Nonetheless, they are deceptively soothing.

This is almost certainly the first time that these bands have been considered similar enough to be played together. Frankly, I wish good luck to anyone who tries to dance to Venetian Snares. If you like that then you might enjoy Bogdan Raczynski's album 'Samurai Math Beats', which is a silly gem that strides between Mr Scruff and Venetian Snares. It is also probably impossible to dance to.

Throw in a bit of VNV Nation onto the list, 'Saviour' is a fairly accessible one that should get people dancing. 'Lightwave' is also good, and 'Chrome' is full-on stompy music.

You've missed out The Clash 'London Calling' and The Undertones 'Teenage Kicks'.

... And now I'm going to shut up and stop telling you what you should play because it's your gig and nothing to do with me.

Currently I'm listening to Velvet Acid Christ - 'Dial 8' from the album 'Twisted Thought Generator'. It's got loads of samples from the Playstation1 game 'Soul Reaver', which instantly makes it incredibly cool.

Yeah... I snuck in the Venetian Snares (Moon Glow) to see if people would dance to it
I think there's enough bands now to fill up all the slots, so I'm probably not going to DJ. Also, I did have some golden oldies like Undertones etc on there, but they didn't seem to fit with the rest of the stuff.

Aww, no good! On the other hand, DJs are kind of condemned to sitting behind a table all night. This way you'll probably have more fun.

Currently listening to the Flaming Lips! I don't know why more people don't listen to the Flaming Lips. (Maybe it has to do on some part with my rabid evangelicism with the bands I like, but that doesn't explain the global phenomenon very well). My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion, very loud so I can try to get the chords on piano.

Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band - A Few Good Men, and being hugely jealous at the solos and the smoothness and general godliness of it all.

Long-term Lips fan here. They're too interesting for the masses, though Soft Bulletin has moments of such utter brilliance that they should be recognised as genius by all.

One of the tracks from At War With The Mystics drifted through my ears this morning, but I'm at a loss to remember which one. This is, in part, due to Hamell On Trial's shredding live version of the Johnny Cash standard 'Folsom Prison Blues' ripping through my noggin shortly after.

Soft Bulletin is a wonderful album. I heard it absolutely everywhere when I was at the Burning Man in 1999. I think they are really big with a certain type of person in California, but they're too varied in their style to really make a dent in the mainstream. Also they can sing. And aren't all female. And wear clothes in their videos. *Despairs over the state of the charts*

Currently listening to... An audio book of 'Thud' by Terry Pratchett

Which Flaming Lips have you been listening to?

I love the band, but Wayne's voice is, by standard measurements, awful. It fits the style of music perfectly, and I'll always enjoy an interestingly bad voice over a technically-brilliant but dull-as-catpiss one, but still, the man could curdle milk with one verse. Just listen to him reach for the high notes - like nails down a blackboard, but in a good way.

It's very much a country singer's voice. Have you heard much by Smog? It's a similar thing going on there. Somehow it's so atonal that it becomes musical.

^ Atonal doesn't necessarily mean un-musical. /pernickety

I'm listening to.. Second to None - Phoenix. It's not that fun.

Really, if Flaming Lips are famous enough to be mentioned as a cultural touchstone on a television programme ("hello, this episode is about going to see the Flaming Lips but oh noes you can't!"), I think it's showing that the Flaming Lips are listened to by plenty of people.

Or Kevin Smith/ the Devil
Recently, I have been listening to Kimya Dawson and Moldy Peaches.

Me too. Juno soundtrack?

I've fallen in the Jurassic 5 ditch. Head-nodding is part of the package.

Nope, although it did remind me how much I love both musical outputs.
I can't believe that I had to go home before seeing her at that Chihiro/ Strands of Oak/ Kimya Dawson gig at the Marquee all those many moons ago.

I've picked up some bits and bobs of Smog - good stuff. Sparklehorse is also worth a punt if you like the left-of-centre country sung by a man with a compellingly odd voice - 'Good Morning Spider' is a personal fave.

Ah, Sparklehorse, now that brings back memories. I used to listen to them ages ago. If I remember correctly, The Swans were of a similar ilk too. Nice stuff, in a gloomy sort of way.
