I am glad this came back up, I lost my damn iPod sometime in June (probably under the seat of a car we sold) and I have been searching for it ever since but gave up, this has sparked my determination to find it again. In the car I have been listening to XM lately, Spectrum and Classic Rewind, both are great. And I always enjoy Jam On, except when Phish comes on, sorry, I am a classic die hard Widespread fan and can't really stand Phish.
Today I was listening to an iTunes playlist that included;
Alex Clare
MGMT
The Dead Weather
The Cure
Black Keys
Black Angles
Queens of the Stone Age
Then on to my favorite playlist of blues;
R.L. Burnside
T-Model Ford
Albert Collins
Pinetop Perkins
Buddy Guy
Watermelon Slim
The Memphis Mafia
Junior Kimbrough
and then came on Muddy Waters "Mannish Boy" from Muddy "Mississippi" Waters Live - this was my unwind album for years when i was single. I'd grab a bottle of Jack or a big delicious cab or zin, pack of Camels (quit since), turn the volume up, and unwind....... I am not old yet, although Nicole and Parker are already starting on the 40 jokes for my bday in Sept, but some of you guys are a little younger and into different music by the looks of some play list on here. If you love music you really owe it to yourself to explore some blues to understand the inspirations of some of the classic rock bands that influenced bands today! I am a huge Van Morrison fan, his dad's Muddy Waters albums influenced his music greatly. Great music is influenced by great music!
Alex, not sure if you saw the Black Angles and Black Keys play together at the Norva back in Nov of '06, WOW, that was awesome, and damn glad i had someone to drive me home that night, there were a "few" Budweisers missing from the cooler of the Norva!
