The Front Porch Swingin’ Liquor Pigs is a local Minneapolis band. They are really fun. I bought their first cd just because of the title: Forget your truffles and dance. The are best heard live…

Rolling through Tim Barry’s folk stylings on “28th & Stonewall”. This is the 3rd full-length album former front man of the punk/hardcore band Avail. The main stream media has ignored the folk music revival for the past 3-4 years from the post-hardcore/punk musicians. In the same vein, also listening to Austin Lucas’ “Somebody Loves You” and Chris Wollard & The Ship Thieves’ “In The Middle of the Sea”, and Joey Cape’s “Going for the Bronze”.

If you really want to see what’s on people’s iPods, use the iPhone app MiJay. It shows you what songs, artist, albums, etc your friends have, let’s you compare iPods, and shows you what they are listening to in real-time. Check it out.

Listening to “40 Day Dream” and “Home” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros – reconditioned hippie tunes from a 10 member band!

Regardless of how full my player gets, Pink Floyd’s (Syd Barrett era) Piper At The Gates of Dawn is always there.

The rest is a random mix of various Vocaloids songs (a Japanese voice synthesizing program that people have done amazing things with, check it out!), Nine Inch Nails and Bob Dylan. My mp3 player only holds about one hundred songs, so they change every few weeks.

Last week all I listened to was Richard Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde. Or Tristan und Isolde, really. Good stuff ;)

Of course, I meant to put the movie “Kaminey” in quotes up top, as opposed to the name of its director Vishal Bhardwaj.

Piazzolla tangos and Salif Keita; and a current fascination is the Acadian rap group Radio Radio – who lyricize in Franglais, or more properly Chiac which is Acadian French seamlessly merged with English. Linguistically and culturally (I am not Acadian) it is amazing how the music shows the perseverence, re-invention, and fluorishing of Acadian culture in New Brunswick, Canada after the diaspora and return..

I see a lot of Hindi movies, so there’s a lot of Indian music on my iPod, and all of the “most-played 25″ on my iTunes are Hindi. Faves this year are the songs from “Delhi 6″ by A.R. Rahman (this is one of his best efforts, much better than “Slumdog”) and also from Kaminey, music director (and director and singer) “Vishal Bhardwaj”. Both albums are chock-full of great stuff.

Other than Hindi stuff I listen to a lot of Lila Downs, Divine Comedy, Rufus Wainwright, Sanseverino, Audra McDonald. All of them have many fantastic albums, top to bottom.

If I had to name a few specific song from the above items:

from “Kaminey”: the rockingly infectious “Dhan Te Nan” sung by Sukhwinder Sing & Vishal Dadlani; “Fatak” sung by Sukhwinder and kailash kher; and “Raat Ke Dhai Baje” sung by Rekha Bhardwaj, Sunidhi Chauhan, Suresh Wadkar and Kunal Ganjawala.

from “Delhi-6″: “Masakali” sung by Mohit Chauhan; title song performed by ARR with Blaaze, Benny, Viviane, Tanvi & Claire; “Dil Gira Dafatan” sung by Ash King & Chinmayee (go to YouTube for a nifty video of that last one).

Lila Downs: “Mi Corazon me Recuerdo” from “La Linea” and “La Cucaracha” from “Una Sangre”

Divine Comedy: “Something for the Weekend” from the album “Casanova” and “the Happy Goth” from “Absent Friends”

Rufus Wainwright: “The Tower of Learning” from “Poses” and “Do I Disappoint You” from “Release the Stars”

Sanseverino: “La Voisine des Oiseaux” from “Les Senegalaises” and “Les Embouteillages” from “Le Tango des Gens”

Audra McDonald: “How Glory Goes” from her album of the same name (song is from the musical “Floyd Collins”) and “Tom” from “Way Back to Paradise”, which is like an entire story in one song.

So much more, but those are the heaviest rotation.

Hundreds of classical and opera CDs but only a few of them have migrated to my iPod. Tend to prefer those things live.
