Speaking of songs in the head... Neil's practically set up shop in mine - which in itself isn't at all unusual - thanks to all the election talk about Ohio. Beautiful performance of a powerful song.

OK. So that's Stills and Young taken care of. Any takers for Crosby and Nash? :)
Clooney is one of those Hollywood Bolsheviks but I dig this movie and the song is great too

Going all patriotic on this one but Ray Charles is one of the finest musicians this country has ever produced and his version of this song is awesome

Another favorite, Ray Charles doing an old Leon Russell tune

I like that they ended that with Molly Hatchet! I saw them, well at least was there physically, when they played in Sacramento in around "82"! I'll send you a pic of my mullet tomorrow, It doesn't do it justice to not take a picture without real sunlight shining on it.Quote:

That boy who made you low
That boy don't even know
That boy who caused you pain
That boy’s got shit for brains
Had to let you know
‘Cause you don't even
Know what I know
You’re my sunshine
Sad girl, don't lose your faith
Your tears are pretty diamonds
I'll kiss them off your face
I love to see you smiling
Had to let you know
I had to let you know
You’re my sunshine
You’re my sunshine
Just when you thought
That there couldn't be more
I can turn out the lights
And I'll show you it all
I can take you to heaven before the sun comes up
It's the way that you smile
When you’re talking to me
When I lost all my faith
You just made me believe
And I'll tell you all about it
Yeah
Get up closer to me
‘Cause I feel like I've been spinning round and round
Yeah I feel like I’ve been spinning round and round
Feel like I’ve been spinning round and round
I feel like I’ve been spinning round
Spinning round and round
Around and around etc…
You’re my sunshine
You’re my sunshine

You know how sometimes a song you haven't heard for years pops into your head for no apparent reason? This one did it to me today. Love the voice, the accent, the Scots... great stuff for relaxing on a Friday night.
Have a great weekend, everybody!

Found them yesterday and have been beating down the block all last night and today. It's drum and bass/electronic and sounds great on a good stereo (especially if you like bass heavy tunes or just like to rock out on a Friday/Saturday night).
Well, after Bon Scott died, the band really lost it's status. For me it became just one of those mainstream entertainer. Back in black was still ok, but after that i lost my interest. However, here's a great cover from a L.A. band from that album. Specially after few beers (like now)

PS: If you don't like the Neil Young Harvest album, you just don't like music of any type.
I grew up with rock and roll, eight track tapes and the volume of everything at full blast. Now a days about all I listen to is the ringing in my ears. Adults warned that would happen.
But they also warned that masturbation would cause you to go blind. But hey, I can still see with glasses. I order large print books because I want to, not because I need to!

I think it is just too cool to be coincidence that the time at which most of us start not hear so well is the same time that we begin to care very little about what other people say anyway. I can still hear F-4's running from 20 odd years ago. Back then if you used ear protection...well, it wasn't considered very manly. My first boss told me "Boy, that's the sound of freedom and you should enjoy it to the fullest or find another line of work" unfortunately I took his advice and enjoyed the sound of freedom for many, many years after that (had to, wasn't fit for any other kind of work and likely still am not, but I can fake it pretty good.)
PS: Along with the standard cautionary tale about self abuse, my old man told me that if I didn't quit dipping Copenhagen my face would fall of before I was 30. It wasn't true my face is still attached but emphasyma took him a number of years ago.

Today I was blessed to spend most of the day with one or the other of what I think are two of the most beautiful songs stuck in my head. It's tough to have a bad day when that happens.
First up was Xavier Rudd. Singer, songwriter, surfer dude, dijeridoo, stompbox, and guitar player, percussionist, and one-man-band - at least he was then I believe he plays better with others these days. :) I first encountered him at the Winnipeg Folk Festival back in around 2004. Absolutely phenomenal performer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FsAw8HeSvU
And then around lunchtime I was visited by the ghost of Woody, channeled through Wilco, singing what I think may be *the* most beautiful song ever written.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTSGsGGH2Mw&feature=related
Incidentally, there's another great solo version of this done by Jeff Tweedy at one of the FarmAid shows. That, too, is brilliant.
Have a great day everyone!
Yup, that's the one :) Neil Peart is a beast, no doubt.Quote:

Of course Krupa and Rich have both passed away but apparently Buddy Rich was still a freak even as an old man. Wow!

My parents were both children of the Great Depression and young people in the Golden Age of the Big Band. My Mom introduced me to Big Band Music. While I'd never admit it to me friends at the time, I really dug big band music, lots of amazing music and performers in big bands.

I love listening to that version of Sing Sing Sing!
I also been listening to Passion Pit a lot recently. This is my favorite song for the moment.
