Willie Nelson - Rainbow Connection

I guess I'm on a Willie Nelson kick.

Willie Nelson - My Own Peculiar Way

The best part of this song is Emmy Lou Harris.

Willie Nelson - She Is Gone

I love the solos on this song. Willie has such a great style.

Amy Winehouse - Rehab

Poor Amy. She just needs a sammich.

Hustle and Flow - Its Hard Out Here for a Pimp

Speaking as a pimp, I will say it is quite hard out here.

:)

AC/DC - Sink the Pink

How awesome is this video? Seriously.

Queen - No One But You

Nice hair, Brian.

Bonnie Raitt - Let Me In

This is a fun song from Bonnie's "Takin' My Time" album. Which is a great album, by the way. You should check it out. Yeah, that's right. I'm talking to you. Go get that album. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Counting Crows - Goodnite Elizabeth

So most of the time, I don't like the Counting Crows. As I was getting ready for bed last night this song came on. And I remembered that the Crows do have a few great songs. This would be one.

No, this isn't the original music video.

Church Music

I recently had a chance to visit my folks and my mom asked me to play some of the old church music. A few of those songs were running through my head today. It's actually pretty good stuff, kinda sweet.

Amy Winehouse - Me and Mr. Jones

Pretty good live recording of Miss Winehouse here.

Sublime - Mary / Big Salty Tears

Yay for Sublime making it back into the earworm!

Willie Nelson - On The Road Again

So today I'm headed back home to Nebraska, which is an 8 hour drive. How appropriate!

Oh hey, I love Willie's little solo on this song.

Jack Johnson - Breakdown

I think in another life I was a chilled-out, song-writing surfer bum. And I lived in a little beach house on some remote town without any tourists. And I had a dog.

Pretty sure.

The Villans - Cigarettes Make Me Happy

So my buddy, Jason, got me The Villans CD for Christmas. We went to their show and I thought they were awesome!

Unfortunately, they don't have any of their songs on Youtube. But I'll put up today's lyrics just because their so great.

Cigarettes make me happy
Like Jesus Christ on Christmas time
Cigarettes make me happy
Ya ya ya ya yai!

Taj Mahal - Blues Ain´t Nothing

Nice long jam by Taj and friends!

South Park - It Happened in Sun Valley

It's from the South Park Christmas Album, which is the only Christmas album I own.

The Dwarves - Like You Want

I couldn't find a recording any better than this, but I didn't search that hard.

Thanks to Darrell for getting me started on The Dwarves!

The Villans - Gimme the Microphone

Unfortunately, The Villans don't have any YouTube videos. They're a two-man punk band local to Champaign-Urbana, IL.

Their live show was a total blast. It was nice to see some real punk in my town. None of this fake, "I shop at Spencers", my-haircut-is-punk garbage that's all over MTV. But actual, real, in-your-mom's-face punk. Awesome!

Age of Silence - The Idea Of Independence And The Reason Why It's Austere

I'll admit, when Darrell first let me borrow this CD, I didn't like them. But I didn't dismiss them immediately. Then suddenly, one day I loved them. Maybe I'm bad with first impressions.

Oasis - The Importance of being idle

I know Oasis is supposed to be a big deal. I don't really get it. I probably should curl up with a few of their old albums and make a real decision.

Ray LaMontagne - Jolene

Ray has such an amazing voice. And an amazing beard. I mean, look at it!

Alice In Chains - Man In The Box

I'm the dog that gets beat. Shove my nose in... shiz.

Soundgarden - Burden In My Hand

Today's lyrics were "I shot my love today, would you cry for me".

I actually couldn't remember what song it was. It took a little searching to remember it. I thought it was an Alice in Chains song at first, which doesnt make much sense.

Anyway, Soundgarden... awesome.
