[Zelko-4-EVA]

most of the music that is played in the shop isnt what i would ever listen to - i cant stand commercial top 40 pop... 

we dont allow headphones in the shop -  cant hear fire alarm etc...    so we have one radio with speakers placed around the shop...  we do allow employees to plug in their MP3 players as long as the presses dont stop for them to keep changing the song or whatever.   on the FM dial it ranges from classic rock, soft rock, contemporary country... 

at my desk i listen to:

Russian Circles
Maybeshewill
Ratatat
Stereolab
65daysofstatic
Crystal Castles
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
John Coltrane
Miles Davis
Santogold
They Might be Giants
Pixies
Kraftwerk
Beethoven
Mozart

for those of you who like rap music - check out MC Paul Barman - hes got some clever lyrics

You guys are gonna eat me up and spit me out, but at this very moment, I am listening to Cheap Trick Live At Budakan (on vinyl)


Thing is, just as with my mp3's, on vinyl I usually play a few individual tracks. A lot of albums do not stand up from the first to the last track for me.


Okay, solved that problem with a "best of" album up next. Elvis Costello and the Attractions.


I'm really stoked about seeing the A's new rookie kid win the game with a walk-off to my oldie soundtrack.

I pictured you as a National League guy, a Giants honk, guess I was wrong.  I'm the same way about listening to a ball game, baseball means a lot to me.  I wish I wouldn't have gotten so burned out by the sport in high school, it caused me to not take the opportunities I did have to play in college.  I wanted a normal life and I knew I didn't have what it took to play beyond DII, maybe a lower level DI team.

As far as music, damn, I've never heard of 90% of the bands that have been listed, but I'll say I'm just an old hillbilly and prefer the classics from Waylon, Willie, Merle, Kristofferson, and the local Texas old timers like Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, Willis Alan Ramsey.  I've long thought that most newer country is pure crap.  I like pre 91' George Straight, Alan Jackson, and not much else from the current crop of country stars.  Maybe once a year or so a song comes out that perks my interest but it's rare these days.  I really like the older stuff from Jimmy Buffett (73'-81') and my all-time favorite musician, singer-songwriter of all time...Dwight Yoakam.  If I had to listen to one musician for the rest of my time on earth, it's Dwight and it's not even close.  I used to be into music pretty hardcore but the older I get, the further I get from it.  I can appreciate most all of the genres except new rap and hip hop, yeah, I used to bump around town with Dre and Snoop through the Fosgate 15"s so I can't completely hate on rap.

[Action1]

Led Zeppelin
Ronnie James Dio
AC/DC
BOC
Bad Company
The Guess Who

some occasional John Denver!

Alan. my introduction to the game was with the Dodgers when they first moved to LA.
A few years later, I was figuring out how to sneak in to the new park. I got to see a few  great years of Koufax and Drysdale, Roseboro, Wills, and all of the others. A high bar.

Moved up here, for the first few years, paid only cursory attention to the A's (though they were great) but even eventually gave the Giants a try, but was so turned off to the fans' negativity towards their rivals (strictly a marketing scheme I tell you), and their shameful behavior towards Dodger fans, made me realize that like Tommy, I may proudly bleed Dodger blue. It was never "Let's go Giants" It was always "Beat LA".
It was as if the fans had given up on the first day of the season, and just wanted to spoil any chance the Dodgers may have. The fact that they took more than 50 years to finally win and the ensuing hoopla is indicative of this frustration based attitude.

Phone Company Field is nice enough though. 

So, for me, it's A's and Dodgers, and I absolutely hate inter league play.

[jasonl]

A guy from our small town recently went up to the big leagues and plays for the Giants.  Printed a bunch of giants shirts with his name and 33 on the back today for his family.

[Frog]

Yeah, looks like Charlie got some time in the bigs in May.

We have a local, John Baker who catches for the Padres. Drafted by the A's, played in Sacramento, traded to Miami, and is now actually getting some real time in San Diego.
He's not a kid anymore at 30 or 31 though.

[Gabe]

well let`s keep it simple
I listen the best of both worlds

So for the past eight months easy I am the first to arrive and the last to leave it is NPR or talk radio in the morning before everyone arrives (then KEXP, total $eattle Indie Rock, where we are located) and when they are gone it is everything from Molly Hatchet to New Orleans' very own EHG. Throw in Mass Gave from our buddies in Vancouver, BC and you have a very eclectic mix! Oh, and Black Flag
