Conan... your insider insights are informative. How's that for three words that start with I? Weird...

Anywho... I've moved on to the Marshall Tucker Band and Elvin Bishop...

Play it, homie... but PLAY IT LOUD!!!

Elvin Bishop - Let It Flow

Inspired by Shawn’s musical journey earlier. Elvin could play some mean slide guitar. 🎸

I was lucky enough to see the Eric Clapton tour with Derek Trucks back in 2007 but this version of “Layla” a couple weeks ago is killer!

Elvin Bishop and the Big Fun Trio, played at the 2019 White Mountain Boogie and Blues Festival back in August....great stuff!!!


my favorite tune from "FCA", this one actually got very little airplay in Boston. More piano than guitar, but some pretty good git fiddle too, but the piano stands out to me after all the guitar on this album...Applause

The Cars - self-titled debut album

This still remains my favorite Cars album...and to Rick’s comment above, listening to “Moving in Stereo” with headphones was definitely an experience...altered or not. Whistle

RIP Ric Ocasek. Hope the good times are still rolling up in Rock ‘ Roll Heaven.

Allman Brothers - Disc 4 of the “Fillmore West ‘71” box set

Actually it’s only one song (“Mountain Jam”) but oh, what a great song! Recorded at The Warehouse in New Orleans on March 13, 1970.

New Samantha Fish. Requisition a new name, but good bluesy rock. Would love to see her open for Joanne Shaw Taylor some day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjUkSUjBqWw&list=OLAK5uy_nTurs-ywpnIFrrgsh24VUF6LQPDK7xtkw&index=1

Holy schnikes,. I just looked, she is opening for Marc Broussard at the Neptune in Seattle Sept 25. I have a dentist apt that day...will have to check out who Marc Broussard is, and maybe see if I can convince Mrs. Pacman to take in a mid-week show.

Have tickets at White River this Sunday for Dorothy, Diamante, Three Days Grace, Chevelle and Breaking Benjamins. Saturday weather is supposed to be good, but Sunday is looking like all day rain. Nuts to that. I hate going to a show, especially one that long, outdoors in the rain (insert obligatory Seattle rain joke here). Fortunately, the tickets were cheap, but bummer that I may miss that show. September is normally the best month for weather in Seattle...70-73, pretty dry, etc. We seemed to have skipped that month this year.

Nuts. Sold out. Not going to deal with resellers on this. Digging Marc Broussard so far, but I'm not paying over $100 for a pair.

Samantha Fish is freaking amazing. Voice, chops, not hard to look at either. I've seen her 3 times now, chatted with her each time. She's awesome, check out this cover out.

#6426, 6427 I have her albums, like her work very much. I don't think she has quite the pipes and chops of Joanne Shaw Taylor, but she is very, very good. Checked out some Marc Broussard, and while I dig his music, I just can't see battling Seattle traffic (which is a nightmare for me with the ffakakta vision), paying scalper prices and trying to deal with getting around the University District in Seattle at night by myself when that place was already pretty damned strange when I went to school some 35 years ago. If tickets were still available via box office and I could bring a friend to drive, sure. I hope that one day soon I get a chance to see both of these talented women play.

And after a beautiful day here on Saturday, the weather for the outdoor show I was going to attend tomorrow is officially rain off and on all damned day. Oh well, at least I've gotten to see a few great shows the last couple of years. Health kept me from going for quite a while, but I've figured out some ways to cope for 2-3 hours shows.

Oh, and here's a little JST (I've linked this before, and I like all of her albums, too, but this might be my favorite of hers):: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAkmtOGTX4A

Alright, new Dollskin. 3 out of 4 stars. Gets off to a wobbly start, but the girls punch your mouth pretty good after that.

New Puddle of Mudd. 3.5 stars out of 4. Could use a bit more variation, but couple nice breaks. Currently listening to the 9th track, Kiss it Goodbye, and I swear it sounds as if Nirvana and Alice in Chains (Layne Staley years) had a kid and birthed this song. Seriously. Also, the vid track "Uh-Oh" is fun. 2:17 in was basically how I ended things with the first wife. Well, I was a little more polite.

New Beth Hart album "War in My Mind" is already on YT. One of the better blues singers around, IMHO.

Check that. Doesn't seem like the entire album is working just yet. New Hellyeah due out at midnight, too. Also a new IQ album "Resistance" also due out. Looking forward to that.

Well, having trouble accessing the others, but the new Hellyeah is quite good. Chad Gray (has there ever been a less metal name for a serious metal singer? Yeah, probably...just can't think of any right now) has an amazing voice. He covers so many styles and ranges, switching with ease that is pretty impressive. Saw him fronting Mudvayne at Ozzfest in 2005 (also playing was Rob Zombie, Trivium, Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, and many more leading into Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath...damn, can ya beat that?). "Welcome Home" is probably my favorite track so far.

C'mon, IQ. Let's hear some hear some of your particular brand of prog metal. \m/>.<\m/

BTW, last night I was singing and had one of my wife's parrots dancing. No kidding. Dude was rocking from one foot to the other, bobbing his head. We're going to try to get him to repeat (he's done it a couple times now) and record, then post it. I'm hoping he'll play ball. Seems to like my voice, and he was really rocking last night.

New KMFDM is blowing my mind so far. Early, however.

Considering which type of noise to play on the noise machine on my side.
Rain, waves, or thunderstorms. Hmmm.

Nice! Really good band.

Dayseeker. Fourth album just came out, but band is new to me. Best I can describe is a heavier Linkin Park. Not as much on the electronics, growling in place of Shinoda's rap (there are plenty of "clean" vocals, too...I can't take an entire album of screaming or growling). Man, the production on this album is fantastic. Layered in places, sparse when it needs to be, some strings in places, crunchy and heavy at times. Really, really digging this. I was trying to get a few things done while listening, and I had to stop and put the headphones on and really pay attention to get it all.

Without a doubt, a great album...all 3 records.

Fwiw, still can’t hear the “He’s So Fine” influence in “My Sweet Lord” but George lost so I guess the song structure did him in.

New Flying Colors. Yet another Mike Portnoy project, so it's prog rock with some lengthy tunes and busy (but good) drum parts. This is probably one of the mellower bands Portnoy has been in. Reminds me quite a bit of Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Some killer bass lines as well, and I swear I hear a Hammond B3 in there. This is really, really good.

#6442 A very underrated band. Freeze Frame was a giant hit, but they made other good music. I make my own ringtones, and current phone call rt is "Insane, Insane Again". Gets some funny looks in public when it goes off, as it starts with Brad Pitt from 12 Monkeys, one of Gilliam's better films.

Was a nice night, mid 60s, light winds, great acoustics and viewlines.

Next on my list of OG artists to see once more is Santana. Haven’t seen Carlos since September of ‘73 when he and John McLaughlin ended their tour in Hawaii.

Oh, and probably Jeff Beck. Saw him twice, once with Beck, Bogert & Appice, the other on his “Wired” tour in ‘75.

Caught Carlos a year or two before Supernatural released, so 96-7ish). Sitting 12th row just off center with a dad who kept asking what smelled funny and an uncle who claimed every song sounded the same. SMH. Great show despite the distracting company
