Making Up For Lost Time

Today's Recommended Listening: Strange Brew - Cream
Here's a good one. I could write pages about Cream, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Jack Bruce, but I'll spare you the details. You can look it up yourself. In the meantime, enjoy this funky groove.



By the way, next week will be Led Zeppelin Week.

You Burnt My House Down Then Got Mad At My Reaction

Today's Recommended Listening: Double Day!
1. Effect and Cause - The White Stripes
2. I'm Slowly Turning Into You - The White Stripes
The White Stripes. You either love em or hate em. Some argue that an infant could create more complicated music, but who said music has to be complicated? Let me tell you something, Jack White and David Grohl are the two most diverse artists that currently walk the planet. You shouldn't judge either of these artists based on a single one of the bands (oh yes, they are in more than one band) so do a little homework huh?

You Wasted Life, Why Wouldn't You Waste The After-Life?

Today's Recommended Listening: Ocean Breathes Salty - Modest Mouse
Maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old. I don't know, I don't think so.

It's the Only Way to Fly

Today's Recommended Listening: Travelin' Light - Widespread Panic
This is off their 'Light Fuse and Get Away' album. Amazing album if you ask me.
I love this band, but they're an acquired taste.
It's a Jam band for those who don't know.
Much like Jimi Hendrix, Widespread Panic never plays a song the same way twice.
Just listen and you'll see what I mean.

Wait, Wait A Minute

Today's Recommended Listening: Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia) - Us3
Yep, it's an old song and a remake, originally called Cantaloop Island by Herbie Handcock. I also have several other covers of this song in my collection, but personally, I think Us3 nailed it.

I Know Exactly How It Will End

Today's Recommended Listening: Every Day is Exactly the Same - Nine Inch Nails
It's a little bit depressing, but I think you can handle it. Besides, good music moves you to identify with the musician. Good music effects you emotionally, and that is not always in a positive way.

My Theory Isn't Perfect But It's Close

Today's Recommended Listening: Wet Sand - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Something about this song, I just listen to it on repeat.
Especially from 3:40 to 5:10 (the last minute and a half)

My Eyes Are Blind But I Can See

Today's Recommended Listening: Snowblind - Black Sabbath
This is one of my favorite cold weather songs. If you ever get a chance to buy their
"We Sold Our Souls For Rock and Roll" album, buy it, it's a really good one.

System Of A Down did a cover of this song, it's a lot faster though, so I guess it depends on what kinda mood you're in to decide which one you like better. Personally, I like Sabbath's version better, I like the 'mellow'.

I'm Coming Back To Life

Today's Recommended Listening: Wearing the Inside Out - Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
I'm sure the entire Division Bell Album will make it on here eventually

You Used To Think That It Was So Easy

Today's Recommended Listening: Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty
HOW IS THIS SONG NOT ON HERE YET???
The Foo Fighters also did an excellent cover of this song.
