More Bad News

Well to use technical terms...my computer blew up. I took it to the store and fortunately it was still under warranty...Unfortunately they had to ship it off to fix it and it may not be back till 11/25.( I guess they are shipping it by horseback) Till that date I'll be using whatever computer I can get my hands on for school and work (kind of like a computer Gypsy). Anyways I won't be downloading or uploading music on other people's computers, so I'll be taking a little hiatus. I'll be back full force by the end of the month.( I'll leave the old songs up till I come back) Happy Halloween, see you soon.

Bad News

I came home from a mini-vacation and it appears that my computer is on the fritz. I'll be back with new posts when I figure out what's wrong with it.

The songs finished transferring so listen away. I'll post some new stuff Monday.

Temporarily Out Of Service

Well the changeover to Ezarchive 3.0 has begun. As of now the links on this site will not be working. Don't worry though, I ain't gonna let the man bring us down! Things should be back to normal (well as close to normal as I can get) by Monday or Tuesday. Hope to see you then.

Wild Card Wednesday! - John Coltrane

Alabama

Here's a little Coltrane to help you get through the hump day. This version of the song can be found on The Smithsonian Collection Of Classic Jazz compilation. Here's what the liner notes say about this track:

Alabama begins as if with solemn meditation, moves to prayer, to hope, to affirmation, and ends again in prayer. When asked if it concerned the desegregation problems of its date and the bombing deaths of some black children in Alabama, Coltrane replied simply, "It represents, musically, something that I saw down there, translated into music from inside me."

Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Two For Tuesday - The White Stripes

Apple Blossom

Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground

It took me awhile to get into these guys but once I took the time to listen to a few of their albums, I was hooked. The first song is on the De Stijl Album. The second song is off the White Blood Cells Album. Oh yeah, Happy Birthday Colleen Beta.

Metal Monday! - Twisted Sister

Burn In Hell

Believe it or not these guys just released a new album called Twisted Christmas. On the album they sing Christmas classics including Silver Bells and White Christmas.(No I'm not joking) This song can be found on the Stay Hungry Album. (My favorite tape back in elementary school) Unfortunately I was too young to see them in concert back then. Lucky for me I got to see Twisted Sister in all of their glory about two years ago (twice) and they still kick ass. You may also recognize this song from Twisted Sister's cameo in Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

I just got in from seeing Jennifer O'Connor down here in ole Charleston, SC. I first saw her open for Jeff Tweedy this past summer and she is an amazing talent. If you haven't heard here yet she is worth a listen. You can find more free songs by her (and other artists) on the Daytrotter website. The standard version of this song is on Over The Mountain, Across The Valley And Back To The Stars.

Totally 80's Friday!

Happy Friday everybody! If you haven't seen Evil Dead 2 yet....Go Rent It!(One of my favorites) This movie is more comical than frightening so even if your not a scary movie fan, I think you'll enjoy it. For your viewing pleasure I've included a clip of a classic scene from the movie.

Wild Card Wednesday! - Bobby Bare Jr

Stop Crying

Technically the full name of the group is Bobby Bare Jr's Young Criminals Starvation League. A friend of mine dragged me out to see this band a few months ago and I've been a fan ever since. The studio albums don't do these guys justice. I highly recommend seeing em live if you get the chance. This song is off The Longest Meow.

Two For Tuesday - Uncle Tupelo

Gun

Cold Shoulder

Here's two of my favorite "Tweedy Tupelo" songs. Although it may seem blasphemes to Tupelo fans, I prefer Jeff's voice over Jay's. I'll get around to posting some Wilco stuff in the near future. You can find both of these songs on the Still Feel Gone Album.
