What are you listening to?




@Scudley Do Right …Thanks! I love those Cat Power videos. I love that the the lead singer for Cat Power dresses like i do in everyday life. (She doesn’t use a costume to sell her voice.) The song i had on my Spotify playlist by them was the slow cover version of Can’t Get No Satisfaction. I’m adding Cat Power Radio to my Spotify account now. This Bob Dylan YouTube popped up while i was watching her. Love it!

Any musician seems like a hazardous occupation. Nirvana, Sublime, STP, AIC, Soundgarden, Linkin Park, Dimebag and Vinny(Pantera), Jeff Henneman(Slayer), Wayne Static, Deftones, off the top of my head. Basicly any band from my formative years is incomplete or dead.

I've been thinking about those statements. I grew up with, lived with, listened to, and played with too many gifted musicians; some of whom could make great music on any instrument they touched, that turned to self-medication through alcohol and drugs, possibly-probably to quiet demons of both un-diagnosed, and clinically diagnosed mental illness. It's affected me since preadolescence. Some became so unreliable and abusive to those around them that nobody wanted to work with them. Some sold truly wonderful and lyrical musical instruments for drugs. Some became homeless dumpster diving shadows of their former selves, the type you see dressed in rags mumbling to themselves while stumbling down an urban street. However, I know and get to play with a few gifted and thriving musicians and believe it's not the occupation. The tragic side of "S,D,R&R" (or similar) always makes me wonder to myself, "What could have been?".

... and probably has helped lead me to enjoy other styles of music (came on KBRD as I finished typing above)

Thanks for sharing both versions; one of my favorite songs, either the classic RnR version or with full orchestra.
