Bonus Monday Music Post

I thought that I would give my lucky loyal readers a little musical bonus today. I am down at the Coffeehouse and I figured why not give you guys a little more music to help the day go by a little faster on this the eve of Christmas Eve.

So Far From Your Weapon - The Dead Weather

I really do enjoy this band. I enjoy everything that  Jack White does actually and these guys can just really bring it. Their is music just reminds me of everything that was good in Rock in the late 60's and early 70's. Great stuff.

007 (Shanty Town) - Natural Rhythm

As always a little Ska never fails to bring a smile to my face. Ska is the happiest of music. It is really funny, even if the song is about something sad it is very hard for it to not seem upbeat because of the horns and the beat. I just love it.

I think my taste in music is changing again. I have a large amount of hip-hop on my music player and a large portion of it is taken up by Eminem but he just does not do it for me. His level of anger and violence just has began to bother me. I am not calling for a ban of his music by any means but I really do think that it wears on me and it is not something that I need to listen too anymore. But go for it if that is what you are into.

Angel Dance - Band of Joy

This is Robert Plant's new band and this album is really a solid album. There are some very good songs on it.  It is well worth a listen. It is a great mix of blue grass and blues and Led style blues-metal. A great album.

As each day draws closer to Christmas I realize how much I miss Eric and how much I hurt for the people that he left behind. I have some very good Christmas memories of my time with him and it pains me when I am reminded that those days are over and never shall they return. It just sucks.

Born Bred, Corn Fed - The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band

I like this band a lot. Very fun and fun to listen too.

Carmina Burana - Trans-Siberian Orchestra

This is one of the great heavy metal pieces of classical music. There have been so many bands that have covered it and I feel like I always enjoy every version of it. It is just a powerful piece.

Gadir - Dark Moor

Yes, I love closing out my bonus playlist this way for you guys. Face it, just give in to the power and the majesty of this band. It owns the epicness.

Thanks Folks. Have a great day.

Saturday Night Music

I do a few things everyday. The two things that I do everyday and often more then once a day is drink coffee and listen to music. These two things are very important to me and I think in a lot of way vital to my mental health. Oh I suppose I could cut coffee out of my life but I can't imagine stopping listening to music. I do not know how anyone does that. I know that for me music is really something that I enjoy so much.

Led Zeppelin - Going To California

It really doesn't matter what the era of music is or even the genre and I do sometimes pick and choose what I am going to listen to. But that is usually just in my car. When I am listening to music as I am writing on my computer I often just put my music on total random and listen to whatever pops up. This can be good or bad because I don't like everything that I own. I might like one or two songs from an artist but no artist is perfect. Also at this point my collection is big enough that I have forgotten all of the music that I have on my hard drive and up in the cloud.

Pink - God Is A DJ


Take the song above, I believe that I have most of her discography but I am not sure if I would consider myself a fan. I have friends who really like her and I think I wanted to see why they like her so much. I do think that some of her songs are very catchy but I would not choose to listen to her regularly or go see her in concert. But she isn't horrible. Her style of music is not my cup of tea.

Even This Shall Pass Away - Robert Plant's Band of Joy

Your Southern Can Is Mine - The White Stripes

I really, really do love the White Stripes and I can honestly say that I do not believe there is a song of theirs that I do not like. I love it all.

Satisfied Mind - Johnny Cash

I also love everything that Johnny Cash has ever done. There is just something about him and his voice and the authenticity in which he lived his life that I find admirable.
