[B]Vivaldi’s Revenge[/B], a modern version – kind of electronic – of the “4 Seasons”.
I am playing it on my computer right now using iTunes. The computer is hooked up to the stereo with big speakers. I don’t have any music CD’s at all. I ripped all my classical, rock, folk, ethnic, audio books etc. collections and distributed the CD’s among my 5 children. Saves clutter around the house. Now I have almost 12,000 tracks on the computer That’s 35 days of continuous listening if I don’t sleep at all. Wow. The same tracks are also all on my iPod which is fun to listen to while getting IVIG. ๐

Audioslave
CD – AudioslaveIt’s the singer from Soundgarden ( Chris Cornell) and the former band (lost the singer, don’t know why) Rage against the Machine. Been going for about 5 years I think the website said. As usual the first CD was the best so far, I think they have a new one coming out…
[I]Quote
Some of that is the wizardry of guitarist Tom Morello, who may be the only Harvard-educated rocker to have ever stood naked on stage at Lollapalooza (in a 1993 protest against censorship).[/I]
and u think I’m a protester……

thanks capt, i’m doing the fun walk. i try to do it every year but had to miss last year because of this darn disease/crap. i walk in memory of my cousins’ wife and in honor of my aunt, mom-in-law, her sister and my family friend who has done sooo many ironman races and marathons after the age of 65 and is now trying to get back into shape for more marathons. and of course for all those who have suffered through Breast cancer and those who are survivors.:)

Dear Friends:
As a musician, I like a lot of different stuff, for some pretty strange reasons. I can listen to an innovative guitar riff and like a band even if the entire rest of the band sucks like a shop-vac.
Today I listened to Coldplay, Train, Tool, Evanesence, Rage Against the Machine, Janes Addiction, and Billie Holliday. I might listen to Nat King Cole this evening.

“Bodies”
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor Beaten why for
Can’t take much more
One – Nothing wrong with me
Two – Nothing wrong with me
Three – Nothing wrong with me
Four – Nothing wrong with me
One – Something’s got to give
Two – Something’s got to give
Three – Something’s got to give
Now
Let the bodies hit the floor
Push me again
This is the end
Skin against skin blood and bone
You’re all by yourself but you’re not alone
You wanted in now you’re here
Driven by hate consumed by fear
Let the bodies hit the floorJust as soon as they make it….
DROWNING POOL singer Dave Williams was found dead on the band’s tour bus Wednesday afternoon (August 14th), according to a spokesperson for the group. He was 30 years old.
The Dallas quartet was on tour with Ozzfest when Williams’ body was discovered. Ozzfest had played the Verizon Wireless Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana, on Tuesday.
Although presently unconfirmed, sources close to the band believe that Williams may have died from complications resulting after the consumption of excessive amounts of alcohol.
Williams was renowned for being a heavy sleeper, and it is believed that he died in his sleep, possibly choking on his own vomit.
An official cause of death has yet to be determined.

Mike,
Never realized how hard you men worked. My older grandson was a drummer in the 7th and 8th grade bands and is now (drum roll) a freshman in high school and in the marching band.
Wow…he think band leader is the very best teacher in the school. Thanks on behalf of the mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers of your kids.
Regards,

When I’m gone.
3 doors down.
over and over and over3 DOORS DOWN LYRICS
“When I’m Gone”
There’s another world inside of me
That you may never see
There’re secrets in this life
That I can’t hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There’s a light that I can’t find
Maybe it’s too far away…
Or maybe I’m just blind…Or maybe I’m just blind…
[Chorus]
So hold me when I’m here
Right me when I’m wrong
Hold me when I’m scared
And love me when I’m gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one
You wanted me to be
I’ll never let you down
Even if I could
I’d give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I’m here
Right me when I’m wrong
You can hold me when I’m scared
You won’t always be there
So love me when I’m goneLove me when I’m gone…
When your education X-Ray
Cannot see under my skin
I won’t tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I’m alive but I’m alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone[Chorus]
Or maybe I’m just blind…
[Chorus]
Love me when I’m gone…
Love me when I’m gone
When I’m Gone
When I’m Gone
When I’m Gone -

Now that I’m home, it’s an American country music station on the Internet from San Antonio. Current song is ‘Wild One’ by Faith Hill; I’m hoping they’ll play something by George Strait before bedtime.

five minutes later: yep, there he is: Living and Living Well.

Show Me How To Live

Moving right along
I couldn’t buy an eye full of sleep
And in the aching night
Under satellite
I was not recieved
built with the stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a diseaseNail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to liveIn the afterbirth
On the quiet earth
Let this things remind you
You thought you made a man
You better think again
Before my row defies youNail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me a life
Now show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to liveAnd in your waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
And in your final hours I will stand
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to beginNail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live

Planets of the Universe.
The bright light is lying down
The earth and the sea and the sky
Is at rest with the ocean
And the days go byThey go into the seas that have no shores
Haunted by that same closed door
Looking up at skies on fire
Leaving nothing left of us
To discover[Chorus:]
And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight
But I’m afraid soon there’ll be
No lightNo doubt, no pain
Come ever again, well
Let there be light in this lifetime
In the cool, silent moments of the nighttime[Chorus]
We will never change again
The way that we are changing
Well, you’ll forget the chill of love
But not the strainNow I know
Well, I was wrong
To live for a dream
If I had my life to live over
I would never dream, no
I still wish you gone
And I will live alone
Yes, I will live alone[Chorus]
You will never love again
The way you love me
You will never rule again
The way you ruled me
You will never change again
The way you’re changing -

I Can’t Help Myself.
Van Zant
I been lost in the darkness for so long,
I can’t see the life.
I been strung out, burned out, left out,
An’ hung out to dry.
So I say to myself that I wanna get better:
Hidin’ from the truth, I can’t last forever.Jesus, help me;
Obviously, I can’t help myself:
I’ve got nobody else.
Send me an angel: someone to strangle,
That old demon that’s hauntin’ me there on the shelf.
I can’t help myself.An’ my excuses are so old an’ tired:
Hell, I forgot ’em.
I keep fallin’, an’ crawlin’, an’ drownin’
Down here on the bottom.
Yeah, I’ve pushed back my brothers, said goodbye to my friends:
When you get in this deep, the hell never ends.Jesus, help me;
Obviously, I can’t help myself:
I’ve got nobody else.
Send me an angel: someone to strangle,
That old demon that’s hauntin’ me there on the shelf.
I can’t help myself.Gimme a reason to live an’ show me a sign.
I’m on the edge goin’ out of my mind.
I’m down on my knees: I’m beggin’ you please,
Make me somebody else: I can’t help myself.Instrumental Break.
(No!)I need something stronger:
Pour it all over me.Send me an angel: someone to strangle,
That old demon:
‘Cause you know that I never will.
I can’t help myself.
Lord, I can’t help myself. -

Shadow of the Sun
AudioSlaveLee,
I saw Travis on that show Intervention a while back…I bought that CD back in the late 90’s. Some good acustic pickin. I found his website and was able to download a few MTV videos. The was one video there of him singing with The Doors and he looked like he was getting it back together. There are some of him just playin in a bar and its pretty sad. Its hard to keep your head together, no matter who you are.
peace -

Right now I’m listening to Chicken Train by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Some people say the Ozark Mountain Daredevils are the Mozarts of Hillbilly music. I disagree. Here is my list of reasons the the Ozark Mountain Daredevils are actually better than Mozart:
-Mozart was never invited to a hoot-a-nanny.
-No one was so enthralled by a Mozart concert that they stood on their chair and yelled “Yeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaw!!”
-Try as he might, Mozart never got that harmonica to make chicken noises.
_The Ozark Mountain Daredevils had lyrics you could relate to. Stuff like your pick-up truck leaving and your wife getting stolen. Mozart didn’t even have lyrics.

Lee.
Mozart did too have lyrics. They just weren’t in English. No lyrics. Sheesh!!!
I’m listening to the sound of my teeth grinding from reading Lee’s post. No, really, I’m listening to my office mates talk about old muscle cars and some guy in a drunk tank on the other side of my wall yell about his DT halucinations -

Dear Vmac:
Of course I know that Mozart wrote lyrics, and some pretty zippy ones at that. He had a Turkish….ah….how do you say it delicately….horizontal gymnasium as the setting of one of his operas. But is opera real music or just something guys must endure in order to win the affections of a woman? Sort of a trial by fire.
Anyway, Bach wrote music before lyrics were invented, so I can cut him some slack. I am almost 100% sure that if he did write lyrics, he would write some real cool lyrics like “scuse me while I kiss the sky” or “plastersine porters with looking glass eyes”. Why? Well I’m glad you asked. Because Bach was either insane or on heavy drugs. “How can you know that?” you may ask. Well I’m glad you asked that. How else can you explain his haircut? I rest my case.
