What are you listening to (music!!!) right now? Embarrassing or not... share

No kidding. His buddy is Jim Hall. His most famous student is Bill Frisell. They recently did a bunch of work together. Glad this came up because on his website are his 3 books and he has streaming video lessons. He told me, you are no Pat Metheny but if you keep up, who knows. Haha, I am a terrible student. I'll find and share some of his music, he's amazing. On this piece you can hear how smooth he is.

Rollin down the street, smokin indo, sippin on gin and juice.
Laid back (with my mind on my money and my money on my mind).

LOL! Very nice!

I actually like a lot of stuff but one day I was driving to work listening to Lithium on Sirius and Pearl Jam came on. They have their own goddamn channel, why are they on every one else's channel too? So I started flipping between channels and came across LL Cool J's channel. I lived in Philly when hip hop really hit it's stride with NWA and Run-DMC and the like and the song on the radio was F*** tha Police from NWA and then Peter Piper from Run-DMC. I was hooked. Been listening to it ever since. Never mind I sing in a punk band. In fact, I'm drinking South County's Stellar Phase and watching Sad Vacation about Sid Vicious right now.

I like this stripped down version a lot!

This is a guy who has consistently put out awesome parodies of pop culture. This is the one that took me from a begrudging admirer to full blown fan!

I especially appreciate the ones where the videos match so closely. It's hilarious to watch them side-by-side. I also don't listen to much modern pop so often the Weird Al version is the first I hear. Then I'm at Taco Bell when the original comes on and I perk up, then I'm disappointed because IT'S the 'fake'!

I love rob thomas,a little ways back posted that acoustic live of him doing disease and pieces. If you havent heard them they are really poignant.

What's the bluegrass gin and juice? The gourds? I think that's it, they do the country g and j. Pretty epic.

These guys will be in town tomorrow night outside the Mission in San Luis Obispo, unfortunately I won't be around. Hope to catch them next time they come to town, they're so much fun.

Been hitting some of the early goth bands. Wish they would have played "Friday, I'm in Love" but this is excellent as well...

I met and worked with the engineer for NIN. Before that I could only listen to Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and blues players. His perspective helped me jump into latest greatest. Great people. Opened my ears to fun and diff music

well, by the time i got to this page....



but i started out with this:

I fire this video up every so often and each time I do I'm always blown away by it. Is there any doubt Prince was one of the greatest guitar players ever?

Points to my brother for sending me this!

i honestly don't know if i know the lyrics, but we're having the first monsoon rain here in s. az!

Superdrag. Totally underrated band...one of my faves.

if i said this is the second time i listened to this tonight too, would it make me a bad person?...lol



(i was playing music match, took me an hour trying to remember it from my childhood...just to find out it wasn't a valid play)

I like the song, I've just always preferred the original Shocking Blue version.

Really enjoyed this. Had a moment the other day where I missed Tom petty. Never saw him live but it was like his music has always been around my whole life. I love princes music too. Many dont realize that he was a good guitar player. I respect that he would show up unannounced and rock small bars to the wee hours.

Heard this one the other day.

remember listening to it on the radio at my brother's party......when i was 14, trippy was the word...

Sometimes you just have to take an awesome chevy truck and bury a few folk. And sing a pretty cool song about it. I don't know what the process is for making a video, but the guy who came up with this is top notch. haha.

Top Gun baby!

talking about my dual 12's and 1000 watt amp, not much bass really, but just the same....



edit: it's just can't because my neighbors....

edit2: in fact, i bet, if i was getting beat to death by gansters...i'd get the cops here faster if i turned up the stereo instead of calling 911....lol

Srsly, they suck that bad? I thought you lived in the great wide open. My neighbors are cool but we never turn up very late

yes they do...miserable old people, they even called the county and complained about the color of my other neighbor's wind sock!

(although when i got bored one day, and made it a habit to spend an hour a week picking up liter around the neighborhood...they seemed to mellow a bit)

Guess it's obvious. 11% HB Quad works well also

Love this band! One of their best, imo...



And another great selection that might be the polar opposite...

Frank Zappa, Apostrophe / Overnight Sensation

Just saw this... It's head and shoulders above his pop from the 1980's. Snoop Dogg lends some cred as well...
