I'm listening to All This Time (amazon) (iTunes), the new album from Heartless Bastards, a band from Cincinnati, Ohio. This is great bluesy rock, mellow at times, and full out rocking other times. The lead singer's voice is haunting and full of emotion. I haven't tried it on the Axioms yet, but it sounds good on these cheap JBL computer speakers.

>>> This morning it's Johnny Winter, White Hot BluesJohnny Winter at 8 (your time) in the morning? That's getting an early start! Man my one day off this week and I was really wanting to sleep in this morning but at 7:45 a.m. (my time) the neighbor's lawn guy was over there cutting their grass with some loud ass mower that shook me out of bed. Man that really PO'd me ... on a Sunday morning. Oh, the neighbor lives in New Jersey and the house is empty, so what do they care...right?

Rick I noticed the chucklehead cutting grass next door was wearing headphones too. I don't know what kind they were but I did notice they were red and big....they must have been loud 'cause I also noticed he took them off whenever he was finished with that loud ass mower. Probably trying to drown out the noise of the mower, I hope they helped.

Wid, Johnny Winter was the headline act at the Fargo(ND) Blues Fest this summer. There were young folk from all over along with us old farts who came to see the legend. He was ok musically, but physically he's in bad shape. I don't know what his ailment is, but he could barely walk on the stage and sat on a chair the whole time. Pinetop Perkins, who is 93, is actually is better physical condition than Johnny Winter. It was kind of sad to see that.

Apartment life stinks in terms of disturbing the neighbors. Luckily, the apartment below us is empty, and has been for the past two weeks. So, whether it be music or movies, I'm crankin' it. First weekend it was "War of the Worlds" which is frightening in terms of low frequency oomph. And currently I'm going back through the "Band of Brothers" series--one of my all-time favorites. Just can't get enough WWII drama.
Oh, and music, whatever it is, I'm turning it up to "11." Rock on.
I hope nobody moves in for a while (I while make an exception for good looking single females, though).
Wait, on second thought, that could get me in a lot of trouble. . .

Peter I'm going to have to check out that band (Heartless Bastards) ... I see that 'similar' groups as listed by Amazon.com include The Black Keys, Drive By Truckers and Sonic Youth, all groups I like. Personally I believe Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys is probably the most talented guitarist to come out in a long time, I'm looking for big things from that group. I just picked up the new Los Lobos Town & The City CD and as a Los Lobos fan I must say this is the best one they've had out in a while.

My personal favorite on the list is Broken Social Scene
Gave "You Forgot it in People" another listen last night. I guess I must have been in a better frame of mind than when I first listened. Really dug it this time around. Fairly nuanced album that requires some attention. A lot of different things going on that I missed the first time. Thumbs up!
