Total cousin ears, my friend

I'm old enough that The Doors were at their height of popularity when I graduated from high school. (I was a sophomore in college when Jim Morrison died.)
I never liked them. There are a few songs I like, but I always thought they were highly over-rated.

Morrison definitely went off the deep end and his rants and chants were more than I could handle. Talk about a guy who took himself too seriously! But they did make some good studio music that I really enjoy. Wish he could have applied his studio talents to his live performances and just skip all the antics.

Becky, I sure do hope you enjoy that album, it's my favorite that I was turned on to in 2012.
I think I like every album they ever made, and IMO some of their live performances kicked some serious ..... Check this one out:
Hi,
I'm a very eclectic music enthusiast, but my main influence, at least on the music I write, is :
I'm a very eclectic music enthusiast, but my main influence, at least on the music I write, is :
I'm over 40. I grew up in Austin, Texas, and my parents were hippies. I heard a lot of classic rock, folk, blues, Motown, and jazz as a child. I rebelled as a teenager by listening to punk, metal, rap, new wave, anything they wouldn't like. I mellowed out a long time ago, and pretty much like it all, but if it's going to be country, it needs to be really old like Bob Wills, Hank Williams, or Woody Guthrie(who had the best guitar sticker ever). I worked on 6th street in Austin for a few years, and got pretty tired of rockabilly after having liked it at first. Remember when swing dancing was popular? All the 'headz' I have known in my life have gotten me burnt out on Bob Marley, but I do appreciate authentic ska, dub, and even reggae as long as I haven't heard it a million times already. In all the bars and restaurants I have worked for, half the employees were in a band or DJs, a quarter were in 'the theater', and the rest were a mixed bag including myself. At the same time, I have been turned on to so much music that I never would have looked for on my own. In the past decade I've been hanging out with too many DJs, thus my current musical influences are close to one track. Did I mention I am a video game junky?
Let's not live in the past, what's on my phone's memory card right now... 13 & God, Amon Tobin, Birdy Nam Nam, Bonobo, Burial, Busdriver, Clouddead, Clubroot, Fog, Flying Lotus, Freestyle Fellowship, Gaslamp Killer, Hudson Mohawke, Moresounds, Mount Kimbie, Onra, Peanut Butter Wolf, Samiyam, Shigeto, Subtle, The Bug, The Thulsa Doom, Themselves, Why?
Some of you will recognize one or two of these names. If you know them all, you might be a DJ.
I wouldn't subject you nice folks to those electronic/hip-hop bands, but here are two of my favorites that play traditional instruments, from right here in Austin! I'm not sure how to describe them, but it's all instrumental. They broke up and formed a new band, but back in '08 Facebook wasn't the only game in town. I know it's on myspace, but the link still works. LOL, myspace
The Thulsa Doom
Before that, some of them were in...
The Alpha Rhythm
And like the name implies, it is relaxing.
There ya go. That's what I like. Hope somebody else likes it.

This guy just doesn't think like other guitar players. Sometimes his stuff comes off
as great, and sometimes you wonder. But the more you hear the album or whatever,
the more it grows on you. This is an alternate take from Jeff Beck's Truth album. The
cut is Blues Deluxe:

I swear Beck wrote Hi Ho Silver lining after driving through Norfolk one day and seeing me - I used to cycle everywhere and would wear a hat with scarfs and badges and lord knows what on it and a big flower maxi skirt. LOL Now THAT dates me.
This was the part of bappo's post that had me longing for follow-up questions. What makes something "pop"? Wouldn't most Beatles songs qualify for that label? Here's one with "pop" in the title...
How to torture Bappo and make him fess up to doing everything that ever happened in the whole world .... (be grateful, I nearly selected the Archies....bleck...vomit....)
On the other hand....YES! It was ME! I did it! OMG I'm blind I tell ya, I'm blind and my hearing has gone. Totally gone...Make it go away. Arrghhh
