And now for something completely different...

[surgeelectric]

Buddy Miles- Them Changes (remastered)

Ryan Adams- Rock n' Roll

The Tom Collins- three piece out of the Athens, GA - download there music here: www.thetomcollins.com, legitimately as powerful as Led Zep, IMHO

Dropsonic - another three piece out of Atlanta - go to www.dropsonic.com to download numerous songs. Talent is off the chart with the frontman from this group.

I have already weighed in, but I thought I would mention how much I dig Funk. Parliment/Funkadelic, the early 70s Stevie Wonder stuff, Earth Wind and Fire, Gil Scott Heron, Sly Stone, all that stuff is so dang good. What I listen to depends on my mood and there are a lot of times when my mood is all about funk.

But to see a band live in a Stuckey's bathroom stall, now that would be the ultimate. Where I am all the Stuckey's are now Love's Travel Centers. It is just not the same, and the music from the stalls is mediocre at best.

Neil Young, Widespread Panic, Todd Snider, Drive by Truckers, Whiskeytown, Robert Randolph, Big Head Todd, Arlo Guthrie, The Connells, Talking Heads, Kudzu Kings, The Kinks, Lou Reed, Grateful Dead, The Jayhaws, Jack Johnson.

For some GREAT guitar-based rock'n'roll music, check out Charlie Chesterman (...of Scruffy The Cat) and his Legendary Motorbikes.

You can download some songs on their website for free!
Check out "Bread & Butter," "Jaguar Tan," and "Where'd Ya Go?" Really, really fun, rockin' music!

Worth a listen.

There is a band I love that is the most obscure band of all time. Only me and two other people know about them. They are the greatest band in the history of music. They are called 'Drag Richmond Connell's Armchair through Slobberbone River'. They are awesome live, but they only play in a Stucky's bathroom, third stall, on I-55 in Potosi, MO every other full moon. I have a bootleg if anyone is interested.

Stucky's... yeah I remember those from family road trips back in the late 60's/early 70's. Do they still exist? I was always partial to the sesame sticks and the taffy. And they always had great bands jamming in the restrooms...

Any ARMCHAIR or DRAG fans here?

Right here. I'm also a huge All fan, so the whole Chad Price connection makes them all the better, in my mind. Believe it or not, when I first heard DTR I had no idea either Snodgrass nor Chad was involved. I didn't know *who* they were, save for the first interesting "country" act I'd heard in a handful of years. All the details came together later.

Other favorites would be, well... as of late I'm been listening to The Break, The Gossip, and The Pavers an awful lot. I'm into a bit more energy and volume than I was a few years back.

As one of the few resident Canucks on the board I'll field the Sloan question. They're a pretty good band - they have a lot of fun and play mostly pop-ish 70's am rock.

Sloan's best tunes: losing california, money city maniacs, the other man

Also, if you have a chance to check out Sam Roberts, do so. He's the best Canadian rocker around these days and he plays his ass off in concert. Don't worry, he doesn't sing any french tunes....

[missY1]

well, out of thousands, this is impossible, so a very short list would be:


can't stop listening to right now: paul westerberg "come feel me tremble"
(going to see him play tomorrow and with sonic youth!), over the
rhine "ohio," neko case (i made myself a mix disc of about 10
songs from various albums, plus several live cuts i got off kazaa),
wilco--yhf has never really been out of the player since it was
released

i always go back to: old 97's "fight songs" "satellite ride," r.e.m. (all
of it really, but especially "reckoning" "out of time"), U2 "joshua
tree" would have to be my favorite, southern culture on the
skids, liz phair, replacements, all alison krauss, whiskeytown,
neil young, stevie wonder, ella & louis, john coltrane, lyle lovett,
matthew sweet, de la soul "3 feet high and rising," jayhawks,
uncle tupelo, freedy johnston, patty griffin, buddy & julie miller,
xtc....well, this list is getting too long and boring to read, can't
list 'em all.

what does anyone know about this canadian band called sloan?
i heard one track on the local public radio station the other day
and really liked it...don't remember the name of the song. what's
the word on them?
