Tracy Chapman - Fast car (FULL HD) ©ELEKTRA 1988 U.S.A HQ CD RIP FIRST PRESS
Tracy Chapman's 'Fast car' belongs on my perfect list. It's an amazing songs! It's a song that you never want to end, I can listen to it on repeat..The cover by Khalid is pretty damn amazing as well!
Musical influences
Musical influences....My first one was my grandpa playing Johnny Horton and Johnny Cash, I idolized my grandpa so of course I wanted to listen to it too, and I’ve kept that music close to my heart.
Right now I’m listening to ‘My hero’s have always been cowboys’ and that reminds me of my grandpa, he loved westerns and western books. It’s funny how much people influence you until they are gone.
Goodnight Papa...
PM Dawn, Talk about a band that was ahead of their time, their dreamy beats and Prince Be’s smooth flow really hit me hard, I can listen to their albums on repeat, Great stuff, I think this is one of my favorite songs. I hope you enjoy it.
Sometimes a song just sums it all up...
It never ceases to amaze me how music can speak to me, I gotta thank my oldest for introducing me to Mike Posner’s music..This song...This song touches my heart....Just be as you are...Fuck everyone else, Fuck the world, Fuck opinions, Something I’ve learned in my 42 years on this planet is you will never be happy unless you are happy and accepting of your self..
Official music video for the single "Running Up That Hill" written and produced by British singer Kate Bush. The song was the first single from Kate's 1985 a...
This song was put on a mixtape from someone who was very special to me...Not like in love with or anything, but someone who I was very close with and miss everyday...I can listen to this song over and over, and it makes me feel like I’m close to that person again...
Hello world...
Been feeling a disconnect from life here as of late, not down, but not happy either. Music is the only thing keeping me tethered to reality it seems. It’s always there when I need it, when everything and everyone turned their back on me, it was there...Comforting me, wrapping me in a blanket of understanding and forgiveness.
Perfect Songs
On occasion you will hear a song that strikes EVERY note of what makes you love a song. It takes a lot for me to pick a perfect songs, but here’s my list of 10 in no real order...
1. Johnny Cash - Hurt
Anyone that can take a masterpiece such as Trent Rezner’s ‘Hurt’ and make it their own and dare I say improve it...
2. Social Distortion - Ball and Chain
A song of poetic truth, we all carry a ball and chain, but it’s up to us to decide if we will let it drag us down.
3. The Hollies - Long cool woman
Just a sexy fun rippin’ song! Sometimes that’s all you need.
4. George Strait - Amarillo By Morning.
The king of country really shows us why here.
5. The Animals - House of the rising sun
I know they are like one of the 10k bands to cover it, but they really made it haunting and their own.
6. Johnny Cash - Ring of fire
Johnny w/ a mariachi band...’Nuff said
7. Nick Cave - The Mercy Seat (Live Seeds)
The original is raw and amazing, but there’s something about how haunting the live version is.
8. Clutch - Electric Worry
Clutch is one of the most under rated bands of all time. This song is 2 old blues songs they put into one amazing song.
9. Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watch Tower
I know it’s not his, but like a few others on the list, he makes it his own.
10. Tom Waits - Romeo is Bleeding
This last one was the hardest, Tom has such amazing songs and so so so many great songs. But there’s something about the noir vibe to it that just paints an amazing picture.
Tastes just like chicken
Sitting here thinking back to when I was a kid still and hanging out w/ My best friend Mike Broom, and all the music we used to listen together...Scatterbrain and Phil Collins and a ton of other music. Those are some great memories.....I do miss those days of driving around and listening to music Or sneaking over to Seattle to see concerts...Just a really good time w/ someone I love and miss very much...Yea he’s still alive LOL We both just have our lives and family and almost no free time. But anyway...Music and memories is something I’ll always have..

Inspiration
Been lacking inspiration here the past week or so...
One of my favorite things in the whole world is to smoke a bowl and put my headphones on and get lost in the music. Something about pot really expands your musical horizons, now I’m not telling anyone to go out and get stoned and listen to music, but shit if you are 21 or over then give it a whirl w/ a set of headphones and some alone time, it’s damn near a religious experience LOL
I love how certain songs will make people we know spring to mind, something about this video reminds my of my oldest (Stevie) Maybe because it reminded me of my adventures in the 90′s, I hope all three of my boys live life to the fullest and have tons of memories before they get married

Leave out all the rest.
I know I never met Bowie or Chris Cornell or Chester Bennington but the loss of them(and many others) have left a huge hole in my chest. Next to my family and friends music is what I love, that and computers are all I really know.
Why does it hurt so bad when an artist dies? Is it because you will never get to see them in concert? or hear their voice again? Or is just maybe because they can vocalize how you are feeling?
Social Distortion has ALWAYS been able to put into words my frustration at the world and life in general, NO one writes a hard luck song quite as well as them..
Don’t have a lot to say today, just got back from a 3 day mini vacation down in Portland/Vancouver...Freaking need a vacation to recover from it.
Remember everyone, support live music, because you don’t know if you’ll be able to see them again.

Day 2
My musical interest borders on a obsession I think, The older I get, the more intense it get’s...But so does my desire for more musical knowledge and experience.
I’m curious as to what everyone’s first concert experience was? Mine was Alice in Chains and Gruntruck at the Yakima convention center on the ‘Shitty City tour’ I remember seeing a couple of tour jackets that had the route of the ‘tour’ on it, After Yakima was Moscow ID. LOL Anyway, great show....Oh sure I saw little concerts at the local fair on the free stages, but those hardly count now do they? LOL
I’ve seen probably over 100 concerts in my time so far, everything from Legends like Nirvana and David Bowie and everything in between. There is something about a concert, the buzz in the air, the over priced merch and beer...But damn, when those lights dim and that first guitar chord or drum hit or whatever starts, NOTHING matters for the next 90 min or so. It’s just you and the music, it’s amazing. Goosebumps I tell ya!
Not every band I’ve seen was good live...This makes me sad but Bon Jovi was hot garbage, I don’t know if it was an off night or what, but damn....Wow. And the best show I’ve ever seen? Hmmm....I might be tempted to say David Bowie...While he was amazing and a once in a lifetime show(Toured with NIN) Hmmm....Probably my first show(AIC)...That was the first time I really saw and experienced live music.
While I've seen a lot of bands that are have members that are no longer with us (Type O,GWAR,Nirvana,Soundgarden) I never got to see Linkin Park and that really makes me sad. They we’re so amazing together. Tragic....
Probably be back later....

Music
Music is my life....I can’t play a lick(yet) and for the love of God don’t let me do karaoke LOL
I’ve been looking for an outlet for my creativeness and my love of music and since no one is hiring for a certified desk jockey that wants to get paid to sit and listen to music and discuss it, this is the best I can do :)
I remember at a young age, finding a record w/ a cover that intrigued me, it was my grandpa’s record, it was Johnny Cash - Live at Folsom...I asked him about it, and he told me to listen to it...So I did and nothing was ever the same after, I think I was about 8 or 9...But I felt something new when that record played...Like being in love for the first time, a first kiss even...But it changed me.
As a kid I could not stand the pop crap that was played on Mtv or the radio, I listened to Elvis or Waylon (and Johnny of course) or even my uncles records, Sabbath or Aerosmith, anything I could get my hands on, I fed into my head, and as I got older and had money of my own I started buying my own records, the first RECORD I ever bought was Quiet Riot - Metal Health....I’m still amazed by that album to this day...The first tape(s) I ever got Was Motley Crue - Theater of pain...And Phil Collins - No Jacket Required...I played the hell out of those tapes....
Even as a young kid, when I listened to music I didn’t just ‘listen’ I heard it, every instrument, every beat, was absorbed into my head and soul. As I got older I got in a bad situation at home...And there we’re times, music was all I had, no matter what the abuse was, I could go upstairs or go to my room and turn on the radio and it was all better, for at least the time being.
I got older and my musical desire increased, I would listen to my friends recommendations and start absorbing it...Enigma, Dead Can Dance, or Sisters of Mercy or N.W.A. it did not matter I wanted to hear everything. Every genre, every artist, if it was music and it clicked with me, I wanted to hear more of it.
I would skip school and go see concerts w/ my partner in crime, saw some GREAT shows, Nirvana,Soundgarden, GWAR, Type O, a lot of different bands some bands we’re forgettable others left a lasting impression.
I don’t know what I want to say w/ this blog, and please forgive the horrible sentence structure and punctuation, it’s never been my strong point, but anyway I ramble at times. and probably overshare other times. but it’s me, and this is a doorway into the musical madness that is my mind. I hope to write more as the days go on.
Thank you,
