Duke Ellington - Live at Newport
Billy Bragg Mr. Love and Justice.
I'm visiting Pandora again today - I plugged in Thelonius Monk and it's picking some tracks, but only 1 of them so far has been TM. Not that impressed with Pandora, but I don't pay to play so maybe I should lower my expectations....

Not sure I have ever embraced the plot completely, yet a powerful score!
Do you have a favorite act?
See-Line Woman by Nina Simone; some excellent remixed and remastered versions of this. Great with booze...

Not really, it's all good. Except for Butterfly, Puccini's music generally outweighs his stories.
Mozart Idomeneno
Bach's cello suite by yo yo ma...this last week in the car for the commute, with my youngest. Since i have transcriptions for the prelude of # 1 for both violin and viola to learn, i was interested in what it looked like on the 'cello, so i pulled it up on youtube. When i did, my boy immediately bee-lined for the lap top, amazed, and so was i to see the power of what he had been listening to.
The only choice my lil' ball of clay will have is which instrument...I'm going to grab my Taylor and strum a few for him for more inspiration.

I love this record. I seldom listen to classical music in the car - you must have a quiet car....
Have you heard any other performances of this?
Antonin Dvorak
Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music
Huey Lewis & The News

Not especially. My car stereo goes to '11,' so it's moot.

They just announced a summer date in one of the premier southeast outdoor venues. Normally, I don't fall for "the latest incarnation" but the Allmans lineup now is pretty amazing.

What Duane would have done had lived longer...an amazing talent. Did they let dickey back into the bad yet?

No Dickey. Two guitarists are Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks (who replaced Dickey). Not too shabby of a replacement.
Not at all, at all...I've seen Warren play with them...his slide solo was cranked up, one of the best I've ever heard.quote:Originally posted by kingofcool:

Well, my Holiday Inn Express comment was in homage to their commercials, but my OutKast post was sincere.
