RIP Gord.  He tried his hardest to sing his stories right up to the very end, like the Canadian national hero he was. :)

Liking this.  De-emphasizes Plant's overdone vocal stylings, shows off the melody and drums.
(Yes, I know Andrew Wood would've killed this, too bad he's long dead. Fuck heroin.)

It's always a good day when I get to hear some Fela Kuti.

9->10.  I saw this performed at Marymoor Park in 2008.  This recording captures the fire and triumph in what I experienced.
DO NOT DOUBLE CROSS THE ANGRY WOMAN.
(And we only went to see Andrew Bird, who was really good.)
(And the cover of Heart's "Crazy on You" was for the gods.  Really!)

Thought this was Muslimgauze. Much nicer than that, really.

Flor De Caña with Friends of Dean Martinez on the stereo is not a bad way to bow out.

This damn war had gone on too long when this song first came out.  Nearly 16 years later and we're still in it.

Some of my dearest friends are Deadheads, but a Grateful Dead song always makes me look for the "next track" button on my radio.

Heard the opening bars and wondered if I was emotionally ready for "At Last" by Neko Case.  Ope, never mind.

The cover by First Aid Kit always makes me weep.  Two Swedish girls born long after the song was written, singing it like it's the National Anthem of their hearts.

Always nice to hear something by these guys that's not from the Repo Man soundtrack!

Quite different from the Big Black song of the same name, but enjoyable nevertheless.

Imagine an air-raid siren was a brilliant musical composition.
Hearing this as Israel and its surroundings erupt into war and remembering how this song described 9/11 and its aftermath.

Thought this was Godspeed You! Black Emperor at first. Beautiful piece.

I got to see the Case Lang Veirs concert here in Dallas two weeks ago. They performed their album interspersed with some of their own individual tracks.I had no idea that kd lang could belt out tunes like that. Three encores too. I dunno who had more fun that night, they up on stage or we in the audience.

 
Oh gawd they give a great show.  Not a one of them gives a poot, they're just having fun sharing tunes with the audience. Laura's gonna chirp, k.d. is all about the belting (she tracked down Patsy Cline's old producer for her best album) and Neko has no fucks (or boyfriends) left to give.
