Wilco - Misunderstood

This is the first of many future Wilco entries.  Wilco is a band that my wife introduced me to when we first started dating. I had heard of them, but never really listened. Back in her old office, she played me this song and I fell in love with their sound....after falling for her, of course!  :)

U2 - Winter

Happy Memorial Day.  Me, Maggs and Molly flew to Hot Springs, Arkansas for a family reunion this weekend and I neglected my blog since we were in the boonies. Last night, we had a rough one (2 hr delay, 1.5 hr flight, 3 hr tarmac adventure, 1 hr in baggage claim, and no baggage) and I wanted to dedicate today's post to American Airlines.  However, it probably wouldn't be appropriate on a special holiday.

For today, I chose U2's "Winter" from the "Brothers" soundtrack. Enjoy the day!

Black Angels - The Boat Song

The Black Angels hold a special place in my heart for a few reasons other than their hypnotic music.  My brothers, Jacob and Jon recently designed gig posters for the band in NYC.  They sold ~70 posters and I'm VERY PROUD of them.  The Boat Song by the Black Angels (record store day 10in vinyl release).....enjoy!

Mr. Bob Dylan - Tangled Up in Blue

Happy belated birthday Mr. Dylan (thanks Sean).

If you don't know who Bob Dylan is......stop watching t.v.



Built To Spill - Going Against Your Mind

An Indie band that's been around for a long time.  My buddy Mark introduced me a few years ago and I really latched on the their sound.  

Frank Black - I Burn Today

Going through my ipod and came across Frank Black's 2005 release Honeycomb.  This album is his attempt at country and it really works.  A completely different feel compared to Frank's Pixies.

The Jam - That's Entertainment

A guilty pleasure of mine....70s/80s punk rock/mod bands. The Jam were an English band who looked a little different from the other punkers at the time. No spiky hair, ripped jeans, baby pins, or leather jackets for these guys. "That's Entertainment" is the first song I heard from this band and the soft vibe hooked me immediately.

The Minutemen - History Lesson Part II

The first song of my daily blog.  I debated if I should start big with John Lennon, Elvis, U2 or other singers/bands that everyone knows. However, I want to start this blog with a history lesson into what makes music pure and simple....the idea of DIY. My choice of the day......The Minutemen.
