These days, a lot of old Alice Cooper - early 70s stuff mostly - including Killers, what an awesome record! - but w/ a few visits to the solo stuff from the late 70s.

Though I can't say that he's my all time favorite artist, I do have great affinities w/ his music. I've recorded covers of many, many Cooper songs over the years, from Levity Ball to I Love the Dead, to Black Juju and in a variety of genre, from rock to electro/industrial. 

In fact, I'm working on 2 or 3 different Alice Cooper covers for our current project w/ my wife - it'll be hard to narrow our choice to just one of these.

I always thought it'd make for a nice Cirque du Soleil show - a Alice Cooper retrospective. 

Incidentally, my wife just brought this thing from 1971 for the walls of my work area. :) Sets the ambience.

Wow!!The Republic Tigers are awesome....(first time listener)   Thanks Craig.

I'll have to check them out... anything that fits in with Plankton has to be good!

The Wishing Tree's 'Ostara', Mark Hollis' eponymous (and only) album, and Wolfstone's 'Almost an Island'. Just finished reading Alan Garner's 'Boneland'.

Dang, I don't know these either. Between, You, Jules, and Craig I have some listening to do.


BTW, your avatar scares me.

What did I do to deserve such a fate
I didn't really want to get Involved in this thing
Someone handed me this gun and I
I gave it everything
Yeah, I gave it everything
I came into this life
Looked all around 
I saw just what I liked 
And took what I found 
Nothing came easy 
Nothing came free 
Nothing came all 
until they Came after me 
Yeah-hey, yeah
I didn't really want to get Involved in this thing 
Someone handed me this gun and I 
I gave it everything 
Yeah, I gave it everything.

Just one play list here but it over 8k songs long.

Rock from 60s to present

I'd put money on the kids these days not knowing them, either.

Brief primer from the world of Jules:


Sigur Ros is crazy interesting Icelandic ambient chill, with much of the lyrics written in a made up language that mimics Icelandic, but isn't.  The idea being, the listener make up his/her own meaning.  It's lovely and ethereal and weird, that stuff.


The Brits will know Pulp... And probaby Curve and Morcheeba (90s British bands).


Cat Power, you should know.  Great songwriter, if a bit out there for most.


Zero 7, Demotchka, Jean-Paul Bondy and Trentmøller are all ambient chill of the languid beat driven variety. My favorite.  It's gotta have a beat, or I'm done.


Santigold is new to me and she has a great voice.

Sigur Ros is crazy interesting Icelandic ambient chill, with much of the lyrics written in a made up language that mimics Icelandic, but isn't.  The idea being, the listener make up his/her own meaning.  It's lovely and ethereal and weird, that stuff.

+a very large number. 
 
I adore their albums and was elated when their most recent one appeared a few months back.  Maybe two years ago word came out that Sigor Ros had disbanded.  But clearly and happily they decided to reunite.  Their new album certainly did not disappoint ... the magic is definitely still there.
