Music to get rained on in the City to.

[MisterBishi]

Catching the bus to work kinda sucks, but listening to music in the city is cool, in this thread I want walkman/discman/ipod geeks to tell us what they listen to on the way to work.

No car stereos :mad:

This week:


The Streets - Original Pirate Material
The Strokes - Room on Fire
The Jam - Some 'Best Of' Album
Stone Roses - Another 'Best Of'

[polite]

Your New Favourite Band
-The Hives.

Did the Stone Roses best of have "Fool's Gold" on it?,
I like that.

We don't have public transport here so getting to work is swift.:)

[jambo]

walkman/discman/ipod

Can this include watching videos (on a pda/ pvp/ smartphone)?

It did indeed, also "She Bangs The Drums" and "This is the One", songs of a perpetual summer. :cool:

Only if you mean music videos and you are not annoying other passengers. :mad:

Indeed! Have you downloaded any of the bootleg stuff yet? Truly worth it.

I must second Tintin's recommendation for Alex Lloyd.

No they're not music videos (but thats a good idea). And of course I don't annoy other passengers :grr:

On the trian, this week, I've been listening to:

- The Cure - Greatest Hits
- Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go

[MisterBishi]

I like that Manics album :cool:

[jambo]

I like that Manics album :)

And so you should ;). You should also like the Cure :p.

[Cassa]

Good thread idea.

Well, this week I have been listening to

Curve - Doppelganger
Maroon 5 - Songs about Jane
Linkin Park - Meteora (go on, laugh, I know you want to)
Sneaker Pimps - Splinter

It takes me roughly 50 minutes to get to work so that's just enough time for a whole album, which is neat.

[dozer]

on rotation

unkle - never never land
unkle - psyencefiction
dj shadow - private repress

with various peanut butter wolf, beastie boys and ninja tune to fill up the card.

[pliskin]

i currently have 1300 songs on my mp3 player. i normally choose random play,as i rarely listen too a whole album from start to finish anyway. mind u i have been listening to the "hitch hikers guide to the galaxy" audio book. i have had it converted to mp3 as well. i find ppl look at me real strange when i start laughing out loud on a train in the afternoon.

[utopian]

Gerling - Bad Blood!!!
Caia - Themagicdragon

Caia is this really cool down tempo hip-hop jazz electro sort of stuff. It's all instrumental except for a few small vocal samples. It's very relaxing.

[Salted_Chipmunk]

Infected Mushroom - Conveting Vegetarians. Especially Yanko Pitch,Song Pong and Opagiffa Night

[spurr]

For commuting I tend to stick with one album for a week or so, giving it a real hammering before moving on to the next one. This last week I've had the Audioslave album on constant rotation...that Chris Cornell has a great voice.

[Hired Goon]

I've got an iPod - I prefer to listen to albums/artists sequentially. As such - I've been listening to:

Ben Harper - Diamonds on the Inside
Kyuss - And the Circus Leaves Town
Desert Sessions 5/6 and 9/10
Grinspoon - Easy

Rockin' :banana:

[Jaz]

I have considered getting a CD-mp3 player many times, only to remember buses are noisey and you can't hear the music properly :(

[Shootz]

Do you reckon an iPod is worth getting? Is it as good as everyone's saying, or am I better off sticking with MD?

sound quality depends on the headphone u have. most mp3 players ship with those annoying, uncomfortable mini ear bud style headphones
95% of the time the headphones they ship with are UTTER CRAP as this keeps the price down as well.

I hate them!!!!

i have a rather large looking pair of old style headphones, that actually sit over the whole ear, thereby blocking out the noise of the surrounding ppl and bus/train

[utopian]

A friend of mine has these awesome (Sony?) headphones that are bud style. They've got these little rubber stoppers that make them comfortable to wear while blocking out about 90% of every external sound.

The Jam one is just called 'Greatest Hits', you were right on the Stone Roses one.

[polite]

Daysleeper. R.E.M.
The best of Elvis Costello.

[rosamund]

Lost in Translation Soundtrack.

Vogue-ish I know, but Glasgow is in 'shitty-rainy' mode right now, and the music suits my mood well.

*edit: actually it was rainy yesterday... today it's frosty with threats of a snow blizzard.

But I don't listen to music on the way to work anymore... I used to have a pretty mish mashed list as you can see though.

/me pines for an Ipod

[Drakin]

How about mp3's played through a car stereo..?

It's using a 64mb panasonic mp3 player through a tape adaptor..

Can i play?

[utopian]

Only if you've got no roof and you're getting rained on in the city.

[Fuzzy Dice]

Public Enemy - He got game
Abandoned Pools - Sunny Day
Seven Mary Three - Punch in, Punch out
Reel Big Fish - Take On Me
Stone Temple Pilots - Days of The week
Sublime - Santeria


There's a bunch more, but like you need my ENTIRE playlist. These are the ones i like best at the moment. Takes me fifteen minutes to walk to school from my stop. And .mp3's mean I don't have to make idle conversation with people I don't know.

That Seven Mary Three song is all vocals and drums. It's both hip and fly.

Open window good enough?

[utopian]

While we're on the topic of other ways of listening to music. Does anyone have any idea where I can find a 2.5mm male, 3.5mm female stereo-stereo adapter?

They're impossible to find in Brisbane.

[Zan]

Haven't heard of a 2.5mm adaptor.

Have you tried dicksmith for it, or failing them stocking the complete thing for parts?

i wouldn't expect JB-hifi to have it - they're fucking useless with anything 'peripheral'...

"Hi, I'm looking for a stereo extension cable"

"Hmm, I'm not sure about that... How about a DVD player, they are only 120 dollars! Or a TV, see the plasma ones? We have a sale on digital cameras!"

ffs if I wanted that shit I'd ask for it. :rolleyes:

...but I digress. I'd definitely check out a couple of dicksmiths, or Jaycar Electronics in the Gabba:

www.jaycar.com.au

[djrobotek]

My choice for tunes and albums are:

Katalyst - Agent Manipulated
Krafty Kuts & Q45 - Fuzzy Breaks CD
Rennie Pilgrem - Perfecto Breaks
Lee Coombs - Perfecto Breaks
Mixologists - Champion Sounds DMC
Deadly Avenger - Fabriclive 4
Unabombers - Saturday Night Sunday Morning
Dj Craze - The Nexxsound
Meat Katie - Beyond The Darkness
Meat Katie - Destination Australia
Kid Kenobi - Clubbers Guide To Breaks 03
DJ Robo - Double Halo Breaks (shameless plug!)
Cool Hand Luke - Flick Of The Wrist Vol. 2 (Sydney's dopest hip hop DJ end of story!)

:banana:

[utopian]

Dick Smith only had a mono-stereo adapter, and that's useless to me. The Nokia 5510 adapter cable would work, but no one wants to part with just the cable.

I'll have a look at Jaycar though.
