The Who, from 1982:

^^^ Good song, but they phoned it in on the video. The lips don't come close to matching the audio.

Nonetheless, a mesmerizing song by the Who, long after they peaked. Parts of that song have been used in conceptual TV ads selling top of the line luxury vehicles, stock brokerage ads, ads depicting nightime city lights, etc.

Blondie. "Maria."

" A million and one candle lights."

Canned Heat from Woodstock in 1969. The lead guitarist was fun to watch so I researched Canned Heat (knowing next to nothing about them). Alan Wilson passed away in 1970, a year after this.

Another one from Canned Heat at Woodstock. Gotta love the fan getting up on stage and bumming a smoke off of Bob Hite.

I love Robert Plant.

Imagine being in the audience at Woodstock in 1969 watching The Who?!?! Moon's a beast on the drums.

And Joni Mitchell (who got held up and couldn't make it there) wrote this song shortly after for CSNY.

I have older tastes, for the most part, but here are a couple of newer bands I really like. There is still some good music being made out there.

Nothing But Thieves. He looks nothing like your typical rock singer, but this kid has a phenomenal voice. The band really rocks, too. I actually bought both of their albums. There isn't a bad song on either.

Another one by Nothing But Thieves. This one is more on the mellow side, but powerful.

Saint Motel. These guys do a lot of retro type material that (weirdly) reminds me of KC and the Sunshine Band. Very catchy.

Have the Bose system cranked up and am basking in Yanni Live at the Acropolis. So fluid and beautiful.

Bought the CD at a thrift store this week for a quarter.

Listening to Garbage with Shirley Manson. The drummer, Butch Vig, grew up about 40 miles from me in Wisconsin, and I used to see him play in Madison from time to time with a band called Spooner. He ended up being kind of a big deal. Aside from performing with Garbage, he was also the producer of Nivana's "Nevermind" album, and worked with Smashing Pumpkins and Foo Fighters. Local boy makes good.
