What are you listening to now?
Going off of the "What are you reading" threads, I thought I would throw this one out here. I did a search, but didn't find anything. If it's a bad idea, please delete it, and my apologies. To start, I'm still listening to Matchbox Twenty's old CDs. "Busted" is my favorite. And though, it's embarassing, I've been listening to dubstep like "Monsters (Kicks n Licks Remix) and "No Hands (Hotrcks Remix). It's nice when you're running for over an hour. Now poke fun. :munchin

Tool - Hooker with a Penis
By the way, Maynard James Keenan was a forward observer on active duty before being recommended for attendance at USMA and sent to the West Point Preparatory School at Fort Monmouth. He chose not to enter the academy in order to pursue his music career instead. I'm glad he did! |

What are you listening to?
On Friday nights I just hook the speakers to the lap top head to the shop and listen to my favorites of the night. This website lets you listen to your favorite years or artists..
I start with the late 60's, and as the night gets on I move to the 50's. Give it a try some night when nothing on TV is worth your time.. http://tropicalglen.com/ Ron |

No, that's what I was looking for. Thanks. |

Twilight of the Elites: America After Meritocracy (Audiobook) By Christopher Hayes, read by the authors
Unabridged edition 2012 | 7 hours and 5 mins | ISBN: 0449010058 | MP3 96 kbps | 311 MB A powerful and original argument that traces the roots of our present crisis of authority to an unlikely source: the meritocracy. Over the past decade, Americans watched in bafflement and rage as one institution after another – from Wall Street to Congress, the Catholic Church to corporate America, even Major League Baseball – imploded under the weight of corruption and incompetence. In the wake of the Fail Decade, Americans have historically low levels of trust in their institutions; the social contract between ordinary citizens and elites lies in tatters. How did we get here? With Twilight of the Elites, Christopher Hayes offers a radically novel answer. Since the 1960s, as the meritocracy elevated a more diverse group of men and women into power, they learned to embrace the accelerating inequality that had placed them near the very top. Their ascension heightened social distance and spawned a new American elite--one more prone to failure and corruption than any that came before it. Mixing deft political analysis, timely social commentary, and deep historical understanding, Twilight of the Elites describes how the society we have come to inhabit – utterly forgiving at the top and relentlessly punitive at the bottom – produces leaders who are out of touch with the people they have been trusted to govern. Hayes argues that the public's failure to trust the federal government, corporate America, and the media has led to a crisis of authority that threatens to engulf not just our politics but our day-to-day lives. Upending well-worn ideological and partisan categories, Hayes entirely reorients our perspective on our times. Twilight of the Elites is the defining work of social criticism for the post-bailout age. |
Lately I've been listening to the soundtrack from the Cavalia show Odysseo. It is fantastic music. I took my daughter and my niece to see the show recently, and it was absolutely spectacular. It is Cirque du Soleil, but with horses.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ67HC8fJqE music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzJYe...6B2E12D7C9BC3A the show It you ever get the opportunity to see this show, go. It is truly unique and unforgettable. |
3/4 of the way through Red Circle: My Life in the Navy SEAL Sniper Corps - Brandon Webb (Jon Bailey) 64Kb (2012). One of the first SEAL stories that actually describes a bit more of the post BUD/S training. Webb was also part of one of the first SEAL Platoons in Afghanistan. Pretty interesting perspective.
Will start listening to With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa - Eugene B. Sledge (George Wilson) 32Kb (Audible, 1990) in conjunction with reading it on a tablet. |
