Kings of Leon "Closer"


Stranded in the spooky town, 
Stop-lights are swayin' and the phone lines are down. 
The floor is crackling cold, 
She took my heart, I think she took my soul.
With the moon I run, 
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun. 

Driven by the strangle of vein,
Showin' no mercy, I'll do it again.
Open up your eyes, 
You keep on crying, baby, I'll bleed you dry. 
The skies are blinkin' at me, 
I see a storm bubblin' up from the sea. 

And it's coming closer... [2x]

You shimmy shook my bones, 
Leavin' me stranded,
All in love on my own. 
Do you think of me? 
Where am I now, baby, where do I sleep? 
It feels so good but I'm old, 
Two-thousand years of chasin' and takin' it's toll. 

And it's coming closer... [4x]

Tina Turner "Show Some Respect"



Saw her in '85 at the Sahara Casino Showroom in Vegas, right before she blew up and started selling out stadiums. There were only a couple hundred people and she put on a show like there was 10,000.  Incredible energy and one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

Luke Jaeger "Dia De Los Muertos"



Luke Jaeger....I predict we will hear lots more from him in the future. What a talent. And a beautiful Ovation guitar.

It's the time of the season
When the love runs high

And let me try With pleasured hands
To take you and the sun to Promised lands
To show you every one
It's the time of the season for loving
What's your name?
Who's your daddy?
Is he rich like me?
 Has he taken
Any time
To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly Tell you what?
I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving

Knowledge is not Wisdom

Truth is not Beauty
Beauty is not Love
Love is not Music

Music is the Best........

Mozart " Eine kleine Nachtmusik" Allegro



Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart was born in Salzburg on this date in 1756. Theophilus—or Gottlieb—or Amadé means “loved by God.”

New York Dolls "Trash"



At Max's Kansas City in 1973.  It's all about the TRASH!


Trash, go pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, go pick it up, don't take your life away
Trash, go pick it up, the doctor take my knife away
And please don't you ask me if I love you
If you don't know what I'm doing
What you know is,

Trash, go pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, go pick it up, don't throw your love away
Trash, go pick it up, the doctor take my knife away
And please don't you ask me if I love you
Cause I don't know what I do
What I know is,

Trash, pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, go pick it up, don't take my knife away
Trash, go pick it up, the doctor take them all away
And please don't you ask me if I love you
Cause I don't know if I do
I want to wipe it out here with you
And take a lover's sleep with you
I'm gonna talk alone with you
I'm gonna talk and be with you
But I just don't know if I do
I just don't know if I do

Ah how do you call your loverboy?

Trash, pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, go pick it up, go put that knife away
Trash, go pick it up, don't give your life away
Trash, pick it up, don't throw your love away
Trash, pick it up, don't take my knife away
Trash, pick it up, the doctor take them all away
Trash, pick it up, don't take my knife away
Oh trash, wow, wow, my sweet baby, wow, wow
Oh, oh, trash, wow, wow, you're the one
Tttttttttrash, ...
Tttttttttrash, ...

Focus "Hocus Pocus"



Hard driving rock song with flute and yodeling. I loved this song back in high school. Focus was a Dutch rock band. It was founded by classically trained organist/flautist Thijs van Leer and guitarist Jan Akkerman.

The Faces "Maybe I'm Amazed"



Really rather glorious, this. Rod Stewart with Ronnie Lane, Ronnie Wood, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones tearing the arse out of Paul McCartney's 'Maybe I'm Amazed' in 1972. Marvellous as the original is, this really is magik.

The Clash "Guns of Brixton"



When they kick at your front door 
How you gonna come? 
With your hands on your head 
Or on the trigger of your gun 


When the law break in 
How you gonna go? 
Shot down on the pavement 
Or waiting on death row 


You can crush us 
You can bruise us 
But you'll have to answer to 
Oh, the guns of Brixton 


The money feels good 
And your life you like it well 
But surely your time will come 
As in heaven, as in hell 


You see, he feels like Ivan 
Born under the Brixton sun 
His game is called survivin' 
At the end of the harder they come 


You know it means no mercy 
They caught him with a gun 
No need for the Black Maria 
Goodbye to the Brixton sun 


You can crush us 
You can bruise us 
Yes, even shoot us 
But oh-the guns of Brixton

Cody Chesnutt & The Roots "The Seed"



[Verse 1: Black Thought]
Knocked up 9 months ago
And what she finna have she don't know
She want neo-soul, this hip-hop is old
She don't want no rock-n-roll
She want platinum or ice or gold
She want a whole lotta somethin' to fold
If you a obstacle she just drop ya cold
Cuz one monkey don't stop the show
Little Mary is bad
In these streets she done ran
E'er since when the heat began
I told the girl look here
Calm down I'ma hold your hand
To enable you to peep the plan
Cuz you is quick to learn
And we can make money to burn
If you allow me the latest game
I don't ask for much, but enough room to spread my wings
And the world finna know my name

[Verse 2: Cody Chesnutt]
I don't ask, for much these days
And I don't bitch, and whine, if I don't get my way
I only wanna fertilize another behind my lover's back
I sit and watch it grow standin' where I'm at
Fertilize another behind my lover's back
And I'm keepin' my secrets mine
I push my seed in her push for life
Its gonna work because I'm pushin' it right
If Mary drops my baby girl tonight
I would name her Rock-N-Roll

[Verse 3: Black Thought]
Uh-huh
Cadillac need space to roam
Where we headin for she don't know
We in the city where the pros shake rattle and roll
And I'm a gaddang rollin' stone
I don't beg I can hold my own
I don't break I can hold the chrome
And this weighin' a ton and I'm a son of a gun
My code name is The Only One and Black Thought is bad
These streets he done ran ever since when the game began
I never played the fool
Matta fact I be keepin' it cool
Since money been changing hands
And I'm left to shine, but the legacy that I leave behind be the seed
that'll keep the flame
I don't ask for much but enough room to spread these wings
And the world finna know my name

[Verse 4: Cody Chesnutt]
I don't beg
For no rich man
And I don't scream, and kick, when his shit don't fall in my hands, man
Cuz I know how to still
Fertilize another against my lover's will
I lick the opposition cuz she don't take no pill
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-no dear
You'll be keeping my legend alive
I push my seed in her push for life
Its gonna work because I'm pushin' it right
If Mary drops my baby girl tonight
I would name her Rock-N-Roll
Oh-ooh break it down, break it down, break down beat

[break]
I push my seed somewhere deep in her chest
I push it naked cuz I've takin my test
Deliverin' Mary it don't matter the sex
I'm gon' name it rock and roll
I push my seed in my push for life
It's gonna work becuz I'm pushin it right
If Mary drop my baby girl, tonight
I would name her Rock-N-Roll
I would name her Rock-N-Roll
I would name her Rock-N-Roll yeah
I would name it Rock-N-Roll

Tracy Chapman "Baby Can I Hold You"

One of the best lovesongs ever. Sounds great when sung by a pub full of soccer hooligans.

Wilco "Country Disappeared"



From the new Wilco Album.

Wake up we're here
It's so much worse than we feared
There's nothing left here
The country has disappeared
If the winter trees bleeding, leave red blood
The summer sweet dreaming, april blush
But none of that is ever gonna mean as much to me again.

Hold out your hand,
there's so much you don't understand
So stick as close as you can,
all of the best laid plans
You've got the white clouds hanging so high above you
You've got the helicopters dangling angling to shoot,
the shots to feed the hungry weekend news crew anchorman.

So every evening we can watch from above,
crushed cities like a bug
Fold ourselves into each others guts,
and turn our faces up to the sun.

I won't take no
I won't let you go
All by yourself
Oh no you need my help
When the cold night shakes you like a chandelier
The snowflakes break through the atmosphere,
and melt on the blue breath of the auctioneers and disappear.

Every evening we can watch from above,
crushed cities like a bug
Fold ourselves into each others blood,
and turn our faces up to the sun.

Dub FX, CAde, Pete Philly & Mr. Woodnote "Supernova Pilot"


Try to sit still to this one.

Balinese Monkey Chant




An excerpt from the amazing movie "Baraka."
