Some people have asked me over the years what I like to listen to while I "make stuff"...here's an extremely short, but sweet list of some of my favorite things to listen to:
The Amazing Jean Shepherd (the above is the cover of a book by Eugene B. Bergmann on Shep-I'm reading the book now and loving it!) You will often hear Shep being played in this house-two or three shows a day is not uncommon...
Talking Heads...can't get any better then this...
Old Time Radio reigns in this home. The Phil Harris/Alice Faye is one of many shows that we love to listen to (Jack Benny, X Minus One, Inner Sanctum, etc... also top the list).
Another top fave, Oingo Boingo another band that I never tire of listening to...Danny Elfman's movie scores are brilliant...
Lennon. I don't need to say anything else. I was listening to Lennon & The Beatles while the other kids were listening to Duran Duran and other 80's music...Yup. Wish both him and Harrison were still around *sigh*
The Pogues...and it ain't just 'cause they're Irish
Dino...proof that I possibly was born in the wrong era...LOL I LOVE Dean Martin, Sinatra, Crosby, and music of that time...
Tori Tori Tori...her latest album is bloody brilliant, as usual...
Got turned onto this one while walking around the bookstore one day...I couldn't leave without the CD and have been playing it non stop since...
One of my favorite rock bands...I saw them on tour many a times and damn, they were good...yup, I like the hard rock stuff ;)
I could play "The Road I Must Travel" from this CD and not get sick of it...
Other things heard in the Kilmer household:
Democracy Now!-one of our news sources
KPFK Pacifica radio-another news source, great music (you won't hear elsewhere) and they play old time radio the first Monday night of every month
This American Life-we get the podcasts and listen every so often
Harry Shearer's Le Show-another one we listen to every so often
Oh yes, and Friday wouldn't be Friday without Madly Cocktail and the Great Kahuna on KSCN.
