Good stuff! Daryl Pitt hooked me up to see some great live performances at the Blue Note when I was in the City. Great place for live blues. Rocking blues on the more avant-garde side lately. These guys are pretty good: https://youtube.com/watch?v=2fb-ZnKNKig https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZEI4xySUckc
Listening to a basically unknown outside of Canada band. Called 54/40. They graduated from my high school, few years ahead of me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGD1rmjkbBU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMZSSVt355I
Good choice. Put on Sinatra when you're with your significant other, and if you ain't getting some something-something by the time Old Blue Eyes gets to Strangers in the Night (or, The Way You Look Tonight, at the very latest), you're doing something wrong! ....T
Since it won a Grammy, I have been listening to Beck's latest album, Morning Phase. I am liking it a lot. It is one of those albums where it should be listened to from beginning to end - very few artists can put an album like that out.
Two more little known outside of Canada bands. Northern Pikes and Tragically Hip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaoQh9Ak3Rc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB965aUPsmM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE2joQsWXJg The Hip just a few years ago, well they sold out in any Canadian venue they played. They'd sell out in 30 to 45 minutes. In the U.S unless it was along the border, they could barely fill a bar. Now even here they are less popular. Seen them 4 times live, great live band.
One of the pop-up articles on Yahoo listed White Stripes' cover of Joliene as an example of a cover that's better than the original. This song has been stuck in my mind ever since . . .

County? Or Rockabilly? Heard this several times today while on the road. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMuIJXcTsVA[/ame] Here's the original: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOXvoeX2qGQ[/ame] Like them both!
Some good posts these last couple of pages, Wade. Death Cab for Cutie - Black Sun [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTbVIfqeDq0]Death Cab For Cutie - "Black Sun" (Official Video) - YouTube[/ame]
I was at this concert and man what a great show. Elliot Easton himself handed me some guitar pics, top of the world. I think I repeated myself AGAIN! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxxPu1gBV5A
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhQa7pJDYS4 Be-Bop Deluxe, Crying to the Sky. I love the guitar in this track in particular. and this, which follows on from the above on youtube.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYHZVDUr9x4
Madeleine Peyroux today and a mix of other French jazz. Easy to picture myself in a vintage V12 cruising with a girl in a headscarf and huge sunglasses.
