I love the Images & Words record. Learning to Live is classsic MP drumming and a great arranging feat. Tough to remember all that. Well produced record as well. Really punchy and not washed out like what they became...

Dream Theater made some nice albums in the early nineties, like "Images and Words". But they have put out some disappointing efforts too. The newest one, Systematic Chaos is actually pretty good... and I've been listening to it quite a bit, just like now.

Grace Jones "Hurricane" has been played a lot in our home, "Sunset Sunrise" and "Devil in my life" being my favorites. Breathtakingly beautiful and exciting. This woman is maturing with dignity (as most of us are ;) ) I wouldn't have expected otherwise, though, Grace Jones, Sly and Robbie, Brian Eno, Tricky...

Right now I'm listening to Jaydiohead!

Jay-Z meets Radiohead

If you like Jay-Z and not radiohead, then you will probably hate this, and vice versa. If you like both artists, you will probably dig it.

For those that remember the classic "Grey Album" as mixed by Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley), here is the latest mash-up by a guy called Minty Fresh Beats. Yes, I know, mashups are so 2004! But this has some cool things in there. I'm loving "99 Anthems" and "No Karma"!

New Dave Matthews Band: Big Whiskey & The GrooGrux King

Much better than lousy "Stand Up" but not quite as amazing as Crash, Under the Table and Dreaming & Before These Crowded Streets. But then again DMB is a live band and I'm anxious to hear these new songs in the next Live Trax.

Lately I've been listening to Iron and Wine, Regina Spektor, and Ray Lamontagne...it's just my speed these days.

Nice! Seen them all live. Regina has a new one coming soon... Ray is always amazing. I've seen him 3 times.

A band slightly more upbeat that I have been listening to a lot lately is "In-Flight Safety". The have a great track called Crash/Land. Has a very 80's Canadian sound. You can stream it at their site http://www.inflightsafety.ca/

I thought it would be fun to get a nice diverse idea of the musical tastes of the community. So....what are you all listening to currently?

I have iTunes on shuffle at the moment, and currently I am listening to "Bedshaped" by Keane
