^ not sure the over 40 crowd will dig it if you were not punk in the 80s. ATR was a big punk/synth band in the 90s, making a dramatic return with the above live footage

Interesting music news...

Dave Grohl was recently enjoying the finer moments of a Scissor Sisters concert when frontman Jake Shears stripped to his skivvies and suddenly too many members appeared on stage.

Grohl will bring everything to a screeching halt by threatening a lawsuit that will “derail the tour, bankrupt the band and disappoint fans.”

A tearful Grohl spoke on the Scissor Sister's website via special report video saying he’s been a fan for a long time and went to their gig where all was fine, band sounded great until things started to get hot. Very hot.

Dueling banjos for me.

Dave Grohl is my rock hero. Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Probot, TCM. Also he played drums on:
NIN - With Teeth
Killing Joke - Killing Joke
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf

and a lot more...........

The hammock man!

Great pickin and grinnin

I love music, listening or making it, and I love the sounds of nature, or simple silence. It's allllll goooood. I definitely appreciate the mp3 devices, but they have their time and place.

Was watching a sunset 3 or 4 days into a solo journey this summer, with some heavy stuff going on in my brain from back in the real world. Was at Monarch lakes in Sequoia after coming over a couple passes from the 5 lakes area. The day ended with a beautiful view down a canyon and this song was just speaking to me with the view I had. It was talking about the clouds and the golden sunset and the river while speaking directly of these things I was dealing with. Then it unleashed this 30 minute jam that peaked and brought me to this all encompassing pure bliss moment of clarity. A simultanious physical mental and spiritual bliss that built up brought on by the combo of the tunes and the sunset. The chorus is just "we want you to be happy" over and over again, and it seemed like everything would be alright. Then I turn around...I might have even been laughing, I saw the first person I had seen in 3 days. I was really suprised, and ripped back to reality from that fleeting feeling. I think I fumbled a few words, but wasn't very polite, and too bad, it was a beautiful woman, also solo :P

There is just a time and a place. Usually it is at night.

"Portugal, the Man" is a band I love to listen to while relaxing in the wilderness. They're from Alaska....go figure. Give the album "Censored Colors" a try, I bet you like it.

the crickets at night!
