Jimi Hendrix: Gone 50 Years Today
I've lost track of time lately and just heard it has been 50 years since Jimi Hendrix left this world. 50 years?! That set me back on my heals a bit. Music in general and particularly Jimi Hendrix music was an immeasurable relief from what was frequently a terribly boring, pointless couple of years in high school.…

Old Crow Medicine Show
Any other OCMS fans here? If not, I cannot recommend them enough! I have seen them live several times and they are by far one of the best live bands I've ever seen. I'm not really a bluegrass/newgrass/roots fan but they are amazing! And so nice! We took our kids to a bluegrass festival this weekend and were lucky enough to…

Seether
Has anyone seen them live? I like a good amount of their material and I am trying to decide if I want to drive a bit to see them or not. Do any of you around here like them?

Your +/- top 10 (all or mostly) live-in-front-of-an-audience albums.
No doubt we've done something similar before, but I did not find a thread. I've noticed lately that many of my go-to albums these days are live albums and decided to make a top ten list of mine. My list is limited to vinyl LP's only, and only ones I have. Your list may or may not be ones you actually own. I allowed albums…

RIP Toots Hibberts from Toots and the Maytls
2020 sucks. Toots Hibberts, reggae, ska pioneer and lead singer from Toots and the Maytls passed today. He was a bucket list of mine to see and now that is impossible. If you enjoyed Sublimes 40oz to Freedom album then you've heard his songs. Pressure Drop and his rendition of John Denvers Country Roads are some must…

You will provided with plenty of food, a stocked bar and/ or other beverages of your choice, comfortable shelter, and any clothes of your choice.

Temples (band)
you should check these guys out from the UK. sounds like psychedelic rock from the 60's, pretty trippy and groovy. They have an album, "Sun Structures" due out in February but if you look hard enough you can find it online ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs4i41cOv0s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99U9-zRHXf0…

Spacehog - Resident Alien vinyl
This is being released on cream colored vinyl with pink splatter for Record Store Day for the first time ever on vinyl. I figured there would be some folks here who would want to know.

Happy Arrival Day, Sun Ra!
Musician, poet, composer, bandleader, philosopher, Sun Ra arrived on planet Earth on this day in 1914. As Ra's "birthday" began to approach, it seemed to me that "arrival day" was a better description for when this amazing soul began his journey in this lifetime. That idea was affirmed when I came across this passage in…

All things Henry Rollins.
Couldn't find a thread on this rather worthy dude. This recent episode of his radio show with Ian Mackaye talking about Black Flag's 1981 UK tour is a great listen. https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/henry-rollins/kcrw-broadcast-ian-mackaye

Dunno if this site is well known yet or not, but a buddy of mine showed it to me. It is the be-all end-all for music knowledge. Just thought I would spread the word.

WALKING PAPERS
I went to see Walking Papers on Wednesday night in Grimsby UK - they played a little rock club called Yardbirds. They were amazing, Jeff Angell sounds better on stage than on the cd. They all played with such energy and very kindly stayed back for a chat with us and signed cds etc. I got Barrett Martin to sign me Mad…

What songs have you used at weddings, special events, etc.
At our wedding (almost 10 years ago), my wife walked down the aisle to "Maybe I'm Amazed" instrumental (P. McCartney). I walked down to "Handbags & Gladrags" instrumental (Rod Stewart). Our entrance song was Baba O'Reilly, and our first dance was "And I love Her" (Beatles).

Levellers
Oh, my very first post after years of passive reading... One of my favorite bands - LEVELLERS from Brighton, UK -
have just released their new album. Title: PEACE Perhaps interesting for PJ fans, as both bands are very
similar in terms of content, politics and attitude. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp6rfBLp-5w

Your top five (or ten) favorite music books.
Kind of an updated version of an earlier thread because times and tastes change. What are your all-time top 5 (or 10) favorite music books and/or biographies? It's super hard for me to go with just 10 but as of now my top 10 are: Pete Townshend, Who I Am My current favorite. I devoured this one! Michael Azarrad, Our Band…
