I heard this song in grocery store when I went shopping this morning:



So I had to listen to this:



(Points to anyone who knows who the guitar player is and what band he was a member of. )

Makes me nostalgic for the 80s.

Here's another one:



Back in the 80s I never would have admitted to liking any of these songs, I was way too metal. :rollover

Andy Taylor of Duran Duran.
I didn't need to watch the video, just the still displayed.
(sad, I know)

To tell you the truth, I couldn't remember his name, I had to look it up. I did know that he was in Duran Duran.

Extra credit: So what super group was Andy Taylor in back in the 80s?

Power Station with Robert Palmer, who I still can't believe is dead.
I may have to download an album from them.

For some reason the group name made me think this would be punk rock, maybe it's the Epitaph label. At any rate I have a love/hate thing with indie, which this is, but damn I love this album. Indie that veers between country-rock and power pop, with lyrics that skirt being too precious but with enough humor to save them. And the music is just damn gorgeous. I even like the They Might Be Giants-like declarative singing style.

While looking for the above graphic, I found that Pitchfork found the album meh. Are they always that wrong?

RIP, Robert Palmer. He wasn't that old, 52 or 53 which was about the same age my father died. Way too young.

I still have the Power Station album and Robert Palmer's Greatest Hits. I picked them up at a library sale (they were donations, not library discards) for $1 each. :AOK

Now I'm going to have to listen to some Robert Palmer and Power Station.

Warren Haynes and Gregg Allman, Red Rocks Ampitheatre - Morrison CO 09.02.06

Simply, wow.
Available from Haynes' store.
Once in a lifetime! Pre-Mule set, those in attendance at Red Rocks tonight were treated to an unbelievable set of acoustic music from Gregg Allman and Warren Haynes. “Rare” does not aptly describe this night, nor does brilliant, moving, soulful; or any other adjective one can conjure. Midnight Rider was the first dish served and was followed by Come & Go Blues. Old Before My Time and Come On In To My Kitchen both raised the hair on the back of my neck as well as many others' too. Beautiful in its simplicity and stirring in its power, this set is truly one of the highlights of both Messrs. Haynes' and Allman's career.

That's an easy one to get lost in. Brilliant!

Many thanks to Tung for the link to the free stream for Mr. Earle's new album.

Second time through on this one today. I particularly like "Meet Me In the Alleyway." The arrnagement has a very Tom Waits feel to it.

Will definitely be purchasing this one.

 

[Katastrophe]

The band has been gone for a long time now, but I still love Badlands. The intro is beautiful, and I completely dig the 70s stomp of "Winter's Call".

Blackfield - Welcome to My DNA

 

[R_of_G]

Seemed appropriate.

 

[tunghaichuan]

Seemed appropriate.

I see your Tom Waits and raise you Robert Fripp:



This was originally on Guitar Player Magazine's Sound Page, a plastic record that they used to include with each issue for a time back in the 80s. Now it is available on Fripp's "Love Cannot Bear" CD.

Seemed appropriate.
