I love [color:#990000]John Frusciante’s [/color]guitar playing! :cool: This album has a lot of good, mellow, chillin’ tunes to listen to on this rainy day (With enough good [color:#990000]Flea[/color] bass grooves to shake away the blues!). [/b][/size] ;) [size:14pt][b]OK! [color:#000099]Your turn![/color] Don't be shy! [/b][/size] :D

At this moment, I'm listening to my coffee-makers as the water is pouring into the decanter. I love the smell of coffee first thing in the morning.
My musical tastes are all over the place from classical to hard rock and everything in-between. When I'm stressed, I like to listen to Clapton and when I'm in a playful, happy mood. I love Bon Jovi. While I'm driving, I almost always listen to Josh Groban. He makes me forget about the driving idiot on the road. I try to sing along and pretend that I can sing words in Italian. LOL

[/quote] :D [size:11pt][b]Ha, ha! :D (Hey, was that you I was watching out of my side window?) :grin: I’ve always said that the best way to learn a foreign language is through [color:#990000]“music”[/color]. . . Or [color:#990000]“love”[/color]!! ;) :) Dango Chan is contentedly [color:#990000]grinding [/color]his beak. My computer [color:#990000]hums[/color] away. Soon it will be time to join the [color:#990000]snoozing[/color] person on my futon! [/b][/size] :blush:

:blush: [size:11pt][b]It was a late day getting up (there was no “morning” for me today! It’s now about 12:52pm on a Friday afternoon, and the subversive tones of “[color:#990000]Black Flag[/color]” :cool: are slowly waking me up. The [color:#990000]soft sound [/color]of Popo Chan rubbing her head against a [color:#990000]plastic ladder [/color]in her cage (she isn’t molting, but it looks like it feels good!) :) . Dango Chan is [color:#990000]peeping[/color] and playing with a little hanging bell. . . "[color:#990000]Ding. . . Ding. . . Ding. . .[/color]" [/b][/size] :D

Right now I am listening to the music of the Weather Channels local conditions - wow - what a boring life.

ROFL! I find myself listening to that more and more. Have I magically turned into a farmer, like I really need to know weather predictions, or just a person with a boring life?

i am sitting here while my PARAKEET FORUM addiction is on ON mode. LOL. i hear a LOAD stereo outside, can't make out what is on it tho. the family guy is on the television. my keets are eating and i can hear them breaking the hulls of the seeds. i also hear my clock ticking. and the occasional outbreak of NOISE from my daughters mouth as she is bored since she is grounded for the weekend.

I am hearing my birds making little chirping sounds in their cages, I am hearing kids outside rehearsing a dance for a wedding, I hear my fan blowing on low in the window and I hear a movie playing on my television

:) [size:11pt][b]My heater is [color:#990000]gently blowing[/color], Popo Chan is repeatedly [color:#990000]twanging[/color] her ladder against her cage wall :crazy: & Dango Chan is up on the bird’s PVC tower “[color:#990000]courting[/color]” a little silver bell :blush: . The person on my futon [color:#990000]snores[/color]. . . :crazy: But no TV or music now. Just those sounds & the [color:#990000]tap-tap-tapping [/color]of my keyboard.[/b][/size] :grin:

No birds here at my dads house :\ I hear my stepmom playing bowling on the wii. I listen to anything from classical music to death metal and everything in between. Right now im listening to Bella's lullaby from Twilight.

I hear my birds moving around in their cages and the gentle breathing of my boyfriend as he is sleeping next to me lol I hear the news on the tv on a low volume and the "tap tap tapping" of my laptop keyboard lol

I hear the tv on in the livingroom, my little sister is watching some weird show... Who knows. I hear my mom rummaging through stuff in the kitchen making loud noises who knows again lol. I hear the rolling of my chair as I shift around uncomfortably ouch I've been on the computer too much. :P

I'm listening to my clothes dryer and my coffeemaker as the last drop of water is going into the carafe. Not very exciting.

I am listening to my birds sing their Hello Morning song and I just heard my hubby fart too...lol!

Lots of happy bird noises and not so happy ones. (Louie just got nipped by Basil)
My fish tank that needs new water and to be filled.
The rest of "the last lecture" on CD

:( [size:11pt][b]Poor Louie! :( The birds are covered & not a peep can be heard ([color:#990000]I love my birds’ voices, but isn’t there something nice about their silence when you know that they are cozy & sound asleep dreaming budgie dreams? :) [/color]). The clock on my kitchen wall [color:#990000]ticks[/color]. My heater [color:#990000]blows [/color](I mean it is blowing air, I don't have any complaints about it! :D ). Everything is still [color:#990000]dark[/color] (Just a little sunlight peeking in through he curtains!), I guess I’d better get up & get moving. :tired: It is nearly [color:#990000]time for work[/color]! [/b][/size] :tired:

I hear the television on the VH1 channel playing 80's music and myself sneezing while my boyfriend says bless you lol

[size:11pt][b]KassieM, [color:#990000]Gesundheit[/color]!! :) Popo Chan is flicking her [color:#990000]plastic rings[/color] with a “[color:#990000]clickity-click[/color]” & Dango Chan is softly “[color:#990000]fweeping[/color]” with his eyes partially shut. :sleep: [color:#990000]Black Sabbath [/color]is softly playing & freshly poured [color:#990000]Mitsuya Cider [/color]is softly “[color:#990000]fizzing[/color]." [/b][/size] :grin: [img:center]http://i336.photobucket.com/albums/n337/Guregoreo/poporingP4030029.jpg[/img] [size:14pt][i][b]“[color:#990000]Clickity-Click[/color]” go the rings[/b][/i][/size] :)

I am getting ready to listen to my violin Student!!!!!Then Sonnet (my keet) will really be singing!

I'm listening to "A Baby Story" on TLC while the wind blows and rattles the chimney to my wood burning stove. I hear the baby keets chirp off and on and Rafeeki bustling around the cage as he eats some of each offering and "clicks" and "sings" softly. I hear Pollyanna's feet scratch against the wood of the nesting box as she feeds the babies and adjusts to keep them warm.
Its a good day.

THE PRESIDENT

Singing keets, squawking conures, humming computer...

[size:11pt][b]Someone in heels is [color:#990000]stomping[/color] down the concrete stairs in my four-floor apartment building. :) It is much [color:#990000]too early[/color] for me to be awake (8:34am)! Just can’t sleep, way too much stress at work :( !! The birds are covered (how nice it would be to be sleeping as comfortably & stress-free as my two little babies are now ;) !), my room is dark. Everything is [color:#990000]quiet now[/color], just the soft “[color:#990000]roar[/color]” of cars passing by down below in the street. I think it’s time for food![/b][/size] :grin:

Im listening to me typing and music coming from downstairs.

andrew fitzgerald, "peace" ocean/nature sounds w soft piano. birds are ouiet, don't like it. only one home. siiiigh : )

:grin: [size:11pt][b]Every time I reach for an All-[color:#990000]Azuki[/color] cookie, the [color:#990000]plastic packaging [/color]crinkles away! :) [color:#990000]Carole King[/color] is playing on my stereo &[color:#990000] Dango Chan[/color] and [color:#990000]Popo Chan [/color]are happily [color:#990000]chirping[/color] along with her piano and calming voice. :) Can’t really hear much of anything else![/b][/size] :D

It's very early in the morning, and the birds ourside are chirping. That's my all-time favorite sound.

*Is listening to the Bee Gee's...*

:) [size:11pt][b]Dango Chan & Popo Chan are happily groovin’ along with [color:#990000]Jamiroquai[/color]’s “Too Young to Die.” :cool: They are both making the happiest little[color:#990000] peeps [/color]& [color:#990000]chirps[/color] right now![/b][/size] :grin:

It's eerily quiet in my house.

:sick: [size:11pt][b]Stomach flu. . . Yuck! :sick: My tummy is [color:#990000]gurgling[/color] & creating a language all of its own. :blush: The neighbors washing machine rhymeatically [color:#990000]hums [/color]away. Dango Chan is softly “[color:#990000]talking[/color]” & [color:#990000]the Grateful Dead [/color]are softly playing.[/b][/size] :)

Hahaha -- sounds like a volcano (hope it doesn't erupt)! Sorry you're ill & get well soon.

Ah man, nothing worse than the dreaded stomach flu. Fell better soon. Right now, I'm listening to the buzzer go off from my clothes dryer and birdies chirpin outside. They're saying
"Hey, there's no bread out here".

LOL, luv my bird.

Dixie is chirping his head off right now! And it's only 6:20!

I heard they chirp a lot in the morning and at dawn. Hmmmm.

He's nipping Missy-baby too

[size:14pt][b]I’m healed, yea!! No more stomach flu! Thanks [color:#990000]Luv My Bird[/color].[/b][/size] :) :eek: [size:11pt][b]I hear the “[color:#990000]tick-tick-ticking[/color]” of the minute hand counting down the minutes before I must head out to work. And I also hear the dry [color:#990000]shuffling[/color] of feathers as Popo Chan preens up on her perch :) & Dango Chan’s cute “[color:#990000]pillow talk[/color]” as he courts one of his hanging toys![/b][/size] :crazy:

Danielle Silvestri singing La Paranza... Italian pop, the best music I have ever heard.

The TV's on, but I'm at my computer, listening to my birds. I can tell a couple of them by their sound. Tweetybird and Julliette.

Listening to traffic outside of my boyfriend's office

Listening to the traffic out of my balcony

:) [size:11pt][b][color:#990000]Glenn Miller[/color]’s orchestra has got my birds [color:#990000]peeping [/color]away excitedly! :D But soon the music will be cut & I’ll be popping in Bela Lugosi’s “[color:#990000]Dracula[/color]” DVD (which just arrived in the mail today. . . Yea!). I’ll have to see what affect this movie has on my babies! :eek: :sick: “[color:#990000]Ve vant to suck your bloOOOd![/color]” . . .[color:#990000]Vampire budgies[/color]! :o Everyone run for your lives!!!!!!! [/b][/size] :eek:

Hahahaha -- hope you are wearing a garlic necklace!

[size:11pt][b]No garlic, just an ample supply of crucifixes & holy water! :eek: Right now, [color:#660000]TOTAL[/color] silence! The birds are happily napping, the curtains are drawn & in a bit, I think I’ll be joining my birds in slumber (It’s off to never-never land!) [/b][/size] :sleep:

:cool: [size:11pt][b]The second I put in [color:#990000]Motorhead[/color]’s “Ace of Spades” CD, Popo Chan began her happy [color:#990000]fweeping[/color] & Dango Chan began his “[color:#990000]bump & grind[/color]” routine! :D Long live Rock ‘n Roll!! I can’t hear anything else though, because I have the volume cranked to eleven!![/b][/size] :D

anything but rap, jazz, or new country. i have a mixed disc on that ranges from- metallica... death magnetic to charlie pride to rush, dream theatre, don williams, chopin, pink floyd, cat stevens, gary wright................ the beasts like most kinds of music, but the louder the better for them!!

[size:11pt][b]Paradise = the happy “[color:#990000]fweeeeping[/color]” from my two babies & the gentle “[color:#990000]shwaaaa[/color]” of the air conditioner on low. "It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity!!" [/b][/size]

[size:11pt][b]"[color:#990000]Crunch, crunch[/color]." "[color:#990000]Scrape, scrape[/color]." Popo Chan is absolutely demolishing her cuttlebone right now! She’s a budgie on a mission. [/b] [/size]

Pink-Please Don't Leave Me

Flegmatix Project – Night Road

I've been playing the Beatles to provide some happy music for Pinto, she really likes them.

Blue Man Group
The Complex Rock Tour

That's interesting Chelle - I saw the show live but it never occurred to me to listen to it. Are you watching a video or really just listening?

I'm listening to "quiet" right now - I'm in the living room and Bob is playing Demon's Souls. So I suppose I'm listening to enemies being slain.

OK you inspired me, I've put on some Beatles music for Pinto. She does seem to be perking up a bit!

I am playing Proud, by Heather Small, on YouTube. It's the Biggest Loser theme song. It just makes me feel happy.

That's a great song Jilly!

I'm playing a song for Pinto, it's a a bunch of little Japanese kids singing the "come to Kenya" song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4flkm02mPv0

How cutie is that!

I am running out to meet a friend, so I want you to know i am there with you in spirit as you stand vigil with little Pinto.

Thank you so much Jilly, I really appreciate that a lot. We are doing our best to keep her happy and warm and loved every moment. I keep pausing while I type to look over and talk with her.

my own compositions and music

That's interesting, starfire, my boyfriend's in a band and they have original music but we rarely actually sit and listen to the songs. I suppose we should do that sometime!

On the other hand, he did just have the acoustic guitar out and was playing several songs to pinto. She seemed to enjoy it a lot. I did too, I love to hear acoustic guitar.

Do you have a link to your music?

Literally listening. We bought the DVD/ CD set. I can sing along with any song that has lyrics!

I'm really fascinated by the idea Chelle. I'm going to see if YouTube has any videos of them and try the idea of having the sound play in the background. I *love* the sound of drumming - I have many kodo drum CDs - and it never occurred to me to treat the Blue Man Group as in essence a drumming band. I think of them so much as a visual group.

LOL I found this great Blue Man Group video -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOL8-qIYemg

and of course I had to sit and watch it!

I hear the laghter of my mummie and the tv playing (Wipe Out) HILARIOUS!
The most funniest lame funny and more lol XD

[size:11pt][b]Feeling irie! :) [color:#CC0000]Peter Tosh[/color] & his reggae jams have got both of my babies happily chirping now. Gotta’ love summer vacation!!!![/b][/size] :)

I'm listening to an old song:
back then by CDB

'the bees made honey in the lions skull', by earth

four keets, chattering and wings flapping when they fly.

My heater ~ it's quite noisy.

Blue Bloods is on in the background while I work on my laptop. So I was listening to dramatic music as a killer stuck a hypodermic needle into a woman's neck. I know they will catch him soon!
