But I doubt anybody gives a damn. So I won't waste my time apologizing.<br /><br />Right now I'm flying on the wings of some Strawberry Cough. If you don't know what that is ask your local weed dealer. I'm also savoring the fifty-some milligrams of pain killers draining down the back of my throat. And, I'm loving this cigarette.<br /><br />How 'bout some music to compliment the buzz?<br /><br />Let's start with some Bob Dylan<br /><br /><img src="http://images.starpulse.com/Photos/Previews/Bob-Dylan-ndh02.jpg"><br /><br />I figured we'd start with a sort of an anthem. This song is best described by the repetitive chorus, "Everybody must get stoned." Sounds good to me.<br /><br />Bob Dylan - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?00mz2wmzfzw">Everybody Must Get Stoned</a>(Blonde on Blonde)<br /><br /><img src="http://snicka.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/drake-wayne.png"><br /><br />That's right. We're switching genres. And I'll probably do it again. Its Drake and Weezy. The pair always make magic, and this track doesn't disappoint. The music and the lyrics have an energy that I can't describe, but it feels good. <br /><br />"I think better when I'm not sober." - Drake<br /><br />Drake - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?tnntywzzmdz">Ignant Shit ft. Lil' Wayne</a> (So Far Gone)<br /><br /><img src="http://blogs.citypages.com/jsparks/images/cash-ad.jpg"><br /><br />Johnny's the man. No one can deny that. This song brings us to a different, but just as important theme: women. Not only does Johnny tear it up on the harmonica, but he sings about traveling to the girl he loves. And us gentlemen know that nothing compliments a nice buzz like a fine woman. <br /><br />Johnny Cash - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?t24gwzdqznn">Orange Blossom Special</a> (Live at Folsom Prison)<br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidPZ53njI23WvLflCTy9zNYM7b5pj7_igtHTlF6k7c7CEWLOImyHWCh3g3WiQqajJdfwQjag_xnKq0nMXWH6m_Ri9Ji7YQJX44bgrm2I7OI8X4wcWUC0w3qixiwhRcQR-2G9uG0Yanh9A/s320/Wonderboy1st.jpg"><br /><br />Lastly, we have a virtually unknown rapper. I accidentally stumbled upon Wonder Boy when I was searching for local rappers here in New York City. His stuff is different.<br /><br />Especially his remix of Wayne's "A Milli". We've heard nearly every rapper do their remix of the song, but Wonder Boy is the first I've found to take it from a different angle. Instead of talking about millions of dollars being "A Milli", Wonder Boy talks about "A Milli" in regards to milligrams. Yep, drugs. I know I've got more drugs than money. I feel you.<br /><br />Wonder Boy - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?iwogjwzymei">"A Milli" Remix</a> (Bluegrass Mixtape)Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16416498251400279058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452906107204174006.post-3550069817148927062009-03-15T10:47:00.001-07:002009-03-15T13:14:20.632-07:00Miss SwiftWhere did Taylor Swift come from?

After my buzz warped into a drunken mess, I stumbled looking for some good ol' cryin music. I didn't find any. But, I did stumble upon this guy, Payton May. I searched Hype Machine, iTunes, and everywhere else, and I can't find recordings of Payton. But, the YouTube videos are pretty dope.<br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2D4oJR7zxtQ&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2D4oJR7zxtQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z0Y4dQ6owpw&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z0Y4dQ6owpw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />You all like it?Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16416498251400279058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452906107204174006.post-78448632290829721832009-01-05T13:54:00.001-08:002009-01-05T14:02:21.889-08:00Another Languid MondayIt's another languid Monday, as I sit on my couch. I've watched the sun fall from the sky and sink under the Hudson River. New York City is bustling, but there is no place for me to go. I sit. That's it. Here's some music.<br /><br /><img src="http://evescafe.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/iron-and-wine-sam-beam.jpg" /><br /><br />Iron and Wine - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/mdk2jmvzjfw/Iron%20and%20Wine%20-%20Love%20And%20Some%20Verses.mp3">Love and Some Verses</a> (Our Endless Numbered Days)<br /><br />Iron and Wine - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/mw1idmddx4l/Iron%20and%20Wine%20-%20Sodom,%20South%20Georgia.mp3">Sodom, South Georgia</a> (Our Endless Numbered Days)<br /><br /><img src="http://www.graveface.com/laura.jpg" /><br /><br />Laura Gibson - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/rntdqjrqytd/Laura_Gibson-All_The_Pretty_Horses.mp3">All the Pretty Horses<br /></a> (Six White Horses)<br /><br /><img src="http://rcrdlbl.com/files/rblog_images/oberst.jpg" /><br /><br />Conor Oberst - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/zoddgteetwm/04%20Breezy.mp3">Breezy</a> (Gentlemen's Pact EP)<br /><br />Released solely on an EP that the band sales on tour, "Breezy" is Conor's farewell to a former band mate whom he clearly adored.

I, myself, haven't had a chance to pick up the EP. I've combed iTunes and other blogs, but I just can't find it. So, I reckon this YouTube video will suffice. <br /><br />Breezy was in Bright Eyes and apparently died over the past year due to some pharmaceutical complications. Conor sings a haunting, love-filled, farewell to Breezy, who from this bit of poetry sounds like a phenomenal woman. <br /><br />This video is the recording with Conor's picture displayed the whole time:<br /><br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kTzq3F5NvjM&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kTzq3F5NvjM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br />This is a live clip, and it's pretty decent quality.

Fog hovered over the island like a pestering in-law and it seemed like it trapped all the humidity between the earth and the sky. I started sweating a little bit, which is never fun. My shirt started sticking to my back and I just got irratated. And, as though a gift from heaven, a cool mist began falling through the fog. I walked through the water kisses towards home.<br /><br />Sometimes there are moments that make all this shit bearable. They come few and far between, but they're precious when they happen. I try to hold on to these things to remember them during the less-bearable times. A lot of times rap has a similar feeling. Let's party together.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.mtv.com/content/ontv/fn-mtv/photos/episode-3/3F8U8238.jpg" /><br /><br />Rihanna and T.I. team up to create a pretty sweet song.

It seems that the song has become a part of my past memories and sparks nostalgia on spot. Not only is it a beautiful song, but it holds strong as a memory in the swarm of thoughts clouding my brain.<br /><br />I ran across a pretty nice video on YouTube of Conor performing this song live with the Mystic Valley Band. Check it out:<br /><br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1eB138aGREo&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1eB138aGREo&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />You can also download a copy of the song.

To women and the beauty that encompasses them.<br /><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/matthuffman/jessica-simpson-hollywood-nipple-05.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/matthuffman/christina-aguilera-cleavage-candid-.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/matthuffman/gallery_main-0702_jessica_simpson_b.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/matthuffman/nikki_06.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/matthuffman/nikki_03.jpg">Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16416498251400279058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452906107204174006.post-61246149639713638212008-11-03T13:15:00.000-08:002008-11-03T17:31:59.625-08:00TomorrowI can't believe that the election is tomorrow. Finally. I've been involved with the Obama campaign as a volunteer for a little over a year. I'm glad I spent my time doing something worthwhile, but I am ready for this whole circus to be over.<br /><br />Tomorrow that happens. That is, if we don't see another Ohio/Florida shit.<br /><br />Who are you going to vote for? I'm not going to try to argue either way. I'm just going to tell you: Vote for Barack Obama.<br /><br />I'm begging you. Please don't let John McCain win. This country is nearly unbearable as it is. I can't imagine a regime run by another George Bush with a worse temper. (Thanks Hayden).<br /><br />So, I've decided to post a few pictures, some good videos, and of course music. All in the celebration of a assured victory (fingers crossed) tomorrow.<br /><br /><strong>McCain kind of just forgets what's going on. It's hilarious:</strong><br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JxFTrQYE8ps&rel=" width="425" height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" color1="0xb1b1b1&color2=" hl="en&fs=" allowfullscreen="true"></embed><br /><br /><br /><strong>I'm From Kentucky.

Damn. I really like Joaquin. Apparently, he's pursuing a career in music which I'll keep an eye on with a little enthusiasm.<br /><br />Luckily, Joaquin is staying fucked up. If you can't tell from these pictures you have to be blind.<br /><br /><img src="http://thesuperficial.com//bfm_gallery/2008/11/1103%20Joaquin%20Phoenix%20Che/gallery_main/gallery_main-1103_joaquin_phoenix_che_02.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://thesuperficial.com//bfm_gallery/2008/11/1103%20Joaquin%20Phoenix%20Che/gallery_main/gallery_main-1103_joaquin_phoenix_che_03.jpg"><br /><img src="http://thesuperficial.com//bfm_gallery/2008/11/1103%20Joaquin%20Phoenix%20Che/gallery_main/gallery_main-1103_joaquin_phoenix_che_01.jpg"><br /><img src="http://thesuperficial.com//bfm_gallery/2008/11/1103%20Joaquin%20Phoenix%20Che/gallery_main/gallery_main-1103_joaquin_phoenix_che_00.jpg"><br /><br />Good for you, Joaquin. I know it feels good to get fucked up. Keep doing it. Good luck.Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16416498251400279058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452906107204174006.post-15208614497789741222008-11-02T12:41:00.000-08:002008-11-02T14:14:54.510-08:00Dear Jessica<img src="http://thesuperficial.com//bfm_gallery/2008/11/1102%20Jessica%20Simpson%20Madeo/gallery_main/gallery_main-1102_jessica_simpson_madeo_02.jpg"><br /><br />Dear Jessica,<br /><br />I know you have a lot of men groveling at your perfectly shaped body. I know Tony Romo is your boo. But Jessica, Tony Romo ain't got shit on me.<br /><br /><img src="http://thesuperficial.com//bfm_gallery/2008/11/1102%20Jessica%20Simpson%20Madeo/gallery_main/gallery_main-1102_jessica_simpson_madeo_00.jpg"><br /><br />I promise I could treat you better. I don't make as much money. But, you're rich. You don't need to have a rich boyfriend, you need someone you can take care of. You need a man you can lavish and love with all your heart. You want someone who you can spoil. You need a man who has simple tastes and loves well.<br /><br /><img src="http://thesuperficial.com//bfm_gallery/2008/11/1102%20Jessica%20Simpson%20Madeo/gallery_main/gallery_main-1102_jessica_simpson_madeo_05.jpg"><br /><br />Jessica, I'm drinking brandy. Do you like Brandy? I don't like your music. Does Tony tell you he does? He's fucking lying. Do you want a man who lies to you? If he lies about liking your music, maybe he's lying to you about liking you at all. Maybe he hates you. It's just something to think about.<br /><br /><img src="http://thesuperficial.com//bfm_gallery/2008/11/1102%20Jessica%20Simpson%20Madeo/gallery_main/gallery_main-1102_jessica_simpson_madeo_10.jpg"><br /><br />I love you. There, I said it. And, it's true love. It's not that bullshit that is based on commitment, personality, commonalities, and general things that are not unique. It is a love based on my fascination with your entire body. Mmmmmm..<br /><br /><img src="http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c219/crystl1759/JessicaSimpson.jpg"><br><br /><br />Call me.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.iphone-wallpapers.us/images/wallpapers/dykuyu5og.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/entertainment/2006-06/22/xin_5106032211439531178250.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.jsimpsonzone.com/pictures/albums/wpw-20070605/michaelcaulfield1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.jsimpsonzone.com/pictures/albums/wpw-20070605/maxrollingstone15.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.jsimpsonzone.com/pictures/albums/wpw-20070605/peggygq2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.jsimpsonzone.com/pictures/albums/wpw-20070605/gileselle3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.jsimpsonzone.com/pictures/albums/wpw-20070605/gileselle4.jpg">Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16416498251400279058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452906107204174006.post-23458170782065853142008-11-01T21:13:00.001-07:002008-11-02T12:30:22.027-08:00Let's CelebrateTonight, let's drink.<br /><br />I'd like to propose a toast!<br /><br />To celebrating. Simply celebrating. Life can be a shit can and it can be cold. But there are certain things we find in friends, brothers - by blood and memories, intriguing strangers, paintings, music, women, never ending streams, oasis-like ponds, and other hidden treasures. Tonight, we drink to all those things that can at least remind us that it's not all shit.<br /><br />Here to help us celebrate:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.brooklynvegan.com/img/music2/aabondy.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/1kn03m33yka/AA%20Bondy%20-%20American%20Hearts.mp3">AA Bondy - American Hearts</a><br /><br />AA Bondy can rip a mean riff on his guitar and harmonica while belting out lyrics that are ripe with meaning.

I didn't plan on putting that many up, but I just kept liking all the ones I saw.<br /><br />Of course, the post can't be complete without some music. So, I decided to switch it up a little bit and dabble in different genres.<br /><br />AA Bondy - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/kyzmouyy2el/AA%20Bondy%20-%20There%27s%20A%20Reason.mp3">There's A Reason</a><br /><br />This guy is new, and I haven't heard a ton of his stuff. He's playing a show here in New York City in a few weeks and I'm going to try to check it out. He has a great voice, and is a pretty good lyricist. I really enjoy his sound<br /><br />Aesop Rock - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/4tydyim4moo/Aesop%20Rock_None%20Shall%20Pass_14_Coffee.mp3">Coffee</a><br /><br />I don't know a lot about Aesop Rock. But, I know that he kicks some ass on the mic. He's got a very distinct sound and flow. His style is really rhythmic and his lyrics are just as polished.<br /><br />Josh Ritter - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/jojmrlgmyzg/TheAnimalYears_01-GirlInTheWar.mp3">Girl In The War</a><br /><br />Still, another guy I don't know much about. This song has more of an acoustic vibe, but the lyrics are descriptive and imaginative. I dig it.<br /><br />Akon - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/hwm1jkzzjyf/Akon%20Ft%20Lil%20Wayne%20-%20I_m%20So%20Paid.mp3">I'm So Paid (ft. Lil' Wayne)</a><br /><br />I love Lil' Wayne. He's the man. He's so goddam cocky, but it suits him. He can get away with almost anything on the mic. I was also proud of Akon. His two verses are well written and well sung.<br /><br />The Felice Brothers - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/3zjmwnhavw2/heyheyrevolver.mp3">Hey Hey Revolver</a><br /><br />The Felice Brothers have been around for a few years, but they recently signed to the label Team Love. Team Love was founded by Bright Eyes frontman, Conor Oberst. There are a variety of musical groups on the label.

I'm determined to sit down and write a story of my travels this summer.<br /><br />The hard part, is I don't know where to begin. Freight trains and hitch hiking don't make for an easy story. I saw things that I still don't believe. I experienced things in which I still doubt whether they ever really happened. I met some of the most interesting people this country has to offer. I was homeless in every state across the southern border of the United States.<br /><br />Where do I begin? I don't have a clue. I'm thinking about maybe doing another blog where each entry I write of a new day or story of my journey. I'm also inclined to write it in Word and try to get it published. I don't know.<br /><br />I've got them weary blues from waitin' on writing this thing. Hank knows what I'm talking about.<br /><br /><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2005/09/24/books/keil450.jpg" /><br /><br />Hank Williams Sr. - <a href="http://sowellremembered.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/disc-2-19-weary-blues-from-waitin.mp3">Weary Blues From Waitin</a>Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16416498251400279058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452906107204174006.post-45562723100138193382008-10-20T13:16:00.000-07:002008-10-28T19:57:09.046-07:00My VicesMany would definetely call me a man of vices. Some, to name a few, of them are:<br /><br />1. Nostalgia<br /><br />A vice? Probably not. But, it is something that creeps up on me from time to time. It's like a bad habit or an angry brother. I do enjoy fond memories, but the way nostalgia beats up on the inside of my stomach makes it intolerable.<br /><br />A good nostalgic song? Maybe not for you, but for me:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/xmdky5haz2j/03%20It%20Takes%20A%20Lot%20To%20Laugh,%20It%20Takes%20A%20Train%20To%20Cry.mp3">Bob Dylan - It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry</a><br /><br />This song is nostalgic for me because it reminds me of my journey across the states. It reminds me of the open boxcar going down the west coast. It reminds me of hitch hiking across the hot desert. It reminds me of the best days of my life.<br /><br />2. Getting Extremely Pissed Of at 'Mr. Jones' Kind of Folks<br /><br />You know who I'm talking about? I'm talking about pretentious, ass kissing, "look how many books I've read", word whoring douche fucks. Good song for these guys?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/mndjjjz5cz2/05%20Ballad%20Of%20A%20Thin%20Man.mp3">Bob Dylan - Ballad of a Thin Man</a><br /><br />Bob verbally kicks Mr. Jones ass.<br /><br />3. Occasional Weed Smoking<br /><br />If you, the reader, are a smoker, then you know what I mean by 'occasional weed smoking'. If you aren't a smoker, I can't really explain to you. But, it's a vice of mine. I enjoy it. A lot of people do. And from the thousands of songs I could put up from rap, reggae, rock'n'roll, and whatever else, of course I'd be the guy who utilizes Bob Dylan.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/uqmuml3mtee/14%20-%20rainy%20day%20women.mp3">Bob Dylan - Rainy Day Women</a><br /><br />I've always loved this song. And, who can dislike a line continuously repeating, "Everybody must get stoned!". I love it. You should too.<br /><br />4. Alcohol<br /><br />Most people would probably say my vice is whiskey. But, I think that limiting such a vice to whiskey is to do my vice injustice. I love whiskey, yes. But, I love a nice dark ale. I love a whiskey mixed with homemade sour mix. I love whiskey sitting lonely on some rocks. I love gin. I can tolerate vodka. I enjoy drinks I've never tried. I love all types of alcohol.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/zr0efgizwnm/19%20Moonshiner.mp3">Bob Dylan - Moonshiner</a><br /><br />I'm originally from Kentucky, so I remember the nice taste of a strong moonshine. I know what it has done to people. I know what it can do to people. But, I still love it. And, even after Bob sings a ballad-style moonshine song (not originally written by him) I can feel the need to rest my lips on a mason jar.<br /><br />5. Cocaine<br /><br />Yes, cocaine. Think what you will, but I occasionally enjoy a bump, a line, or even a binge. Big deal. It's bad. I know. That's why I'm saying it's my vice. But... there are quite a few songs that are well written and display the mystery of cocaine. But, I've decided to stick to my string of Bob Dylan songs for this post.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/nyzyywgdkzt/07-bob_dylan-cocaine%20-%20%5Bwww.pctrecords.com%5D.mp3">Bob Dylan - Cocaine</a><br /><br />Off of a recording of a live show in 1965, Bob sings a great song about riding the white pony.Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16416498251400279058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452906107204174006.post-42203049133265908092008-10-17T19:18:00.000-07:002008-10-17T19:43:36.218-07:00I Still Don't Even KnowWell, it's about half past ten. I worked for damn near the whole day. It seems like I constantly find myself on my couch after hours of robotic, tedious maneuvers. I'm in New York City. Oppurtunity is screaming from the street corners. And, here I am, sittin' on my goddam couch. After a few minutes of debating on what I could do tonight, I'll end up at a bar with a whiskey in my hand. After I finish a pack of cigarettes and my speech starts to slow, I'll stumble home.<br /><br />In light of the obvious events of the night and my need for company from Bob Dylan and Conor Oberst, I decided to throw up a few songs for your listening pleasure.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://harpmagazine.com/img/articles/200606_094.jpg" /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/nwm4y3mj42h/09%20Burn%20Rubber.mp3">Bright Eyes - Burn Rubber (Live at KCRW)</a><br /><br />Before a concert in Oklahoma (I believe...) Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes played a few songs live on KCRW, a local radio station. <span style="font-style: italic;">Burn Rubber </span>was originally written by Simon Joyner, as Conor achknowledges. Bright Eyes does a more instrument/beat-filled version on their album "Take It Easy (Love Nothing)". But, I prefer this version while in my more nostalgic state.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/yd5rndmrm5d/12%20-%20Milk%20Thistle.mp3">Conor Oberst - Milk Thistle (Conor Oberst)</a><br /><br />Conor came out with a solo album with the Mystic Valley Band. The album is very similar, but has its' differences, to Conor's work with Bright Eyes. But, I must admit, I love this album. <span style="font-style: italic;">Milk Thistle</span> is one of the slower tracks on the album, but the lyrical content and instrumentation are enjoyable.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/mtjy2miqjmm/04%20-%20Lenders%20in%20the%20Temple.mp3">Conor Oberst - Lenders in the Temple (Conor Oberst)</a><br /><br />Also off of his self titled record, <span style="font-style: italic;">Lenders in the Temple</span> is another slower track, with a haunting chorus. Conor's talent for writing really shows through on this track.<br /><br /><img src="http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa35/stinkingbadges2/BobDylan-London66byBarryFeinstei-1.jpg" /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/zojkydedzm0/04-idiot-wind-2.mp3">Bob Dylan - Idiot Wind (Blood on the Tracks)</a><br /><br />If you haven't heard this song, listen to it now. Bob wrote this song during the divorce from his first wife. His anger fuses well with his knack for writing great story lyrics.<br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/k5nt4mnhemt/obdylan-ifyouseeher_sayhello.mp3"><br />Bob Dylan - If You See Her Say Hello (Blood on the Tracks)</a><br /><br />Another great song off of "Blood on the Tracks", this song is semi-ballad like and sings of a lost love who Bob clearly no longer has contact with. He vulnerably sings of the tragic ending and his fight to move on.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/nzmoumzwi3n/dylanmama.mp3">Bob Dylan - Mama You Been on My Mind</a><br /><br />There are quite a few Bob Dylan fans out there that have told me they've never heard <span style="font-style: italic;">Mama You Been on my Mind</span>. I love this song. I hope you enjoy it as well.<br /><br />Don't think I've forgotten to write about Dylan's newest album; "Tell Tale Signs: The Bootleg Series Vol. 8". Samples and such soon.Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16416498251400279058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452906107204174006.post-12965723619709869532008-10-08T09:34:00.000-07:002008-10-08T09:44:12.828-07:00Ol' HankHank Williams Sr. was a phenomenal man. His music set the stage for many artists who would soon followed. He sang with a twang that was unmistakeable and a heart that was all but shattered. <br /><br />Hank was troubled for most of his life by severe back pain. Many attribute this to his alcoholism. It is rumored that Hank would drink Whiskey for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all in between. That's my kind of man.<br /><br />So, here's to Hank. My back has been hurting for the past couple of years, on and off. I'm nowhere near the anguish of the country legend, but I've seen a glimpse. <br /><br />To drinking whiskey, numbing pain, and forgetting women.<br /><br />Check out these Hank classics while you drink.<br /><br /><a href="http://ifitsgood.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/01-cold-cold-heart.mp3">Cold Cold Heart</a><br /><br /><a href="http://tedbarron.com/bwflu-may-2008/43-Lost-Highway.mp3">Lost Highway</a><br /><br /><a href="http://tedbarron.com/bwflu-may-2008/45-Heard-Lonesome-Whistle.mp3">Lonesome Whistle</a>Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16416498251400279058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452906107204174006.post-73722992924431030872008-09-17T10:04:00.000-07:002008-09-17T10:08:48.531-07:00No One On The Corner Got Swagger Like UsSo, I love Kanye West. I love Lil Wayne. I love Jay Z. I love T.I. And, I love M.I.A.<br /><br />Separate, these guys/gals are amazing. Together, a force to be reckoned with. I stumbled across a song called "Swagger Like Us" featuring all these hot artists on one track.<br /><br />So, if you want to get your hands on it, it's a rought cut, but it sounds great. You can download it <a href="http://passionweiss.com/2008/09/03/the-dull-competence-of-tis-swagger-like-us/">here.</a><br /><br />Many thanks for the Passion of the Weiss blog for posting the link.Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16416498251400279058noreply@blogger.com0
