  1. Great band. I especially like the songs Autumn Almanac and Apeman. ...but the air pollution keeps "foggin'" up my eyes...
  2. Thunder Road -- bruce springsteen
  3. Moon Struck One -- the band
  4. Moonshiner -- jolie holland
  5. Old Crow Medicine Show Mississippi Nights St. Louis, MO Nov. 17, 2006 (my birthday!) Great time. Awesome show.
  6. Wasted Words -- allman brothers
  7. Hey, I like white bluesmen as much as the next (white) guy: Page, Peter Green, the guy from the Black Keys, Billy Gibbons, Jeff Beck, etc.; I was just saying (or trying to say) that Joe Bonamassa didn't quite make my personal cut. And I wasn't trying to offend, xmas -- my comment was meant to be more humorous than hurtful. Also, I completely agree: blues is about emotion. To be more clear about my feelings on JB's music: it sounds way too polished -- like the emotion was scrubbed away. And that reminds me of later Clapton. All technical excellence, no grit.
  8. It's my opinion, of course. I suppose I'd have cited sources if it was fact. Don't get me wrong, he's a fantastic guitar player, but, like Clapton (post-Blind Faith), he just sounds like a white guy trying to play blues music.
  9. Very few white guys can succeed at making good blues music. Bonamassa is not one of them. He makes music for middle-aged white people and kids who don't know any better.
  10. Blinded By The Light -- bruce springsteen
  11. Call It Stormy Monday -- the allman brothers/t-bone walker
  12. Young Modern Station -- silverchair
  13. Charles Manson Sings -- Charles Manson It's surprisingly good. Sounds like a less ostentatious (and thus more interesting) Devendra Banhart.
  14. That's exactly my point. The most the author has is speculation.
  15. While the site is interesting, I'm not convinced. (The site's author doesn't answer any of the questions he asks.) By the way, how does one get to be an awesomeologist?
  16. He wouldn't be the first parent to commit suicide.
  17. Why don't you believe Cobain committed suicide? What evidence is there to the contrary? Didn't he wear t-shirts with self-written messages like "I hate myself I want to die" on them? Based on everything I've seen, the guy was depressed. Really depressed.
  18. Through The Door, To The Curb, Your Ass Was Kicked By Alec Berg -- the charging cheetahs
  19. Blues With A Feeling -- Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac "The Fascist accepts life and loves it, knowing nothing of and despising suicide; he rather conceives of life as duty and struggle and conquest, life which should be high and full, lived for oneself, but not above all for others--those who are at hand and those who are far distant, contemporaries, and those who will come after...." -- Giovanni Gentile
  20. Drive Away Blues -- Willie McTell
  21. Love is a Gamble -- T-Bone Walker
