1) Straightening Out the Shelves, SNFU, Better Than A Stick In The Eye
Nice punk start to the morning
2) Testify, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble, Live at Carnegie Hall
Stevie Ray of course makes me think of Hendrix, but I think more and more, his sound is a cleaner sound.....
3) Tee It Up, The Feds, Demo ‘97
Great band that had high energy that played a lot in the KC area
4) Jericho, Blitzen Trapper, 03/07/08 The Beta Bar
I ended up getting into it, but might have just been the recording and it playing back on my cheap Volvo speakers
5) Wild Honey Pie, Phish, Live Phish 10/31/94
Love some of the shows where they performed an entire classic record on Halloween.
6) If There’s Still Ramblin’In the Rambler (Let Him Go), Yonder Mountain String Band, 2/9/2008 Revolutions
Ipod went in a live music kick this morning—all good choices, but YMSB is always a fav group of mine. Espically the verse in the middle of the song—just another Jagermiester shot!!!
7) Life is…Too Short, Too $hort, Life is…Too Short
I came to listen as a 13 year old dish washer from a senior in high school as a tape passed to me from one of the older busboys---loved it!
8) Across The Sea, Weezer, Pinkerton
Droning Guitar, love the Weezer sound....
9) Dirt, The Stooges, Funhouse
Gritty, driving ----rawness!!!
10) D7, Nirvana, Hormoaning
Rough Nirvana----classic....

March 8, 2010 Ipod Pick 10
1) The Man Comes Around, Johnny Cash, American IV: The Man Comes Around to
Great song to start the morning
2) Don’t Need A Gun, Billy Idol, Greatest Hits
So very interesting to me---sounds like Billy had a line of something or other and played for a couple of days on the synth
3) Born Under A Bad Sign, Albert King, Heavens Prisoners Soundtrack
You can usually find this disc in bargain bins cheap---and it is packed with some good ones! Albert King is not someone that I have listened a lot to, but clear guitar notes drive the song
4) Black Peter, Ratdog, 4/11/2008 North Charlotte
I am finding that some of the live music in the Volvo, in the morning---not that enjoyable! Good song, just not very speaker supported.
5) Intro, Jay-Z, American Gangster
Great combo---sets the tone for the album, had me want to hear the next song and then led into....
6) It All Comes Down To You, Alison Krauss and Union Station, New Favorite
Slow bluegrass numbe----Awesome! This is what I like about shuffle---gets some good surprises in!
7) Bridge Over Troubled Water, Johnny Cash, American IV: The Man Comes Around
I think Sheryl Crow sings in this song as well with Cash...have to love these American recordings---they speak to me because I really feel that Johnny knew the end was very near.
8) Wishful Thinking, Wilco, A Ghost Is Born
9) Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Raising Sand
10) Ripple, Ratdog, 4/11/2008 North Charlotte
Great song to start the morning

March 6, 2010 - The First 10 (should they always be near and dear to my heart?)
1) No Sense in Lovin', Uncle Tupelo, Anodyne
2) Brokedown Palace, Grateful Dead, Dead Set
This is a good clean recording with good Jerry vocal. Straight ahead arragement with little interplay between the band, but solid.
3) El Scorcho, Weezer, Pinkerton
One of the best lines referring to a particular taste in women "God Damn you half Japenese Girls, Do it to me every time!" Cracks me up! Cannot beat my overall favirote lyric from the Counting Crows when Durtiz softly purrs " I love the red haired girls, just another boy from Texas...". So back to the song---three distinct instrament sounds playing the chords...classic Weezer geek punk.
4) Talk is Cheap, The Toasters, Hard Bend for Dead
I think my brother flipped me this CD and had not had a chance to listen to it---great ska sound---middle of the commute and traffic was "brutal" so did not get to focus on much else. It made me want to revisit the album--good thing!
5) Hell in a Bucket, Bob Weir, Weir Here/The Best of Bob Weir
Great Bobby song...miss Brent playing piano to accompany him.....
6) Miss Being Mrs., Loretta Lynn, Van Lear Rose
Jack White produced this album for Lynn--and it is an amazing one. I believe they picked up the grammy that year. Lynn singing about missing be Mister and all that comes with it. From this album one of my best remembrances---cant remember song title now, but includes the phrasing "Portland, Oregon and slow gin fizz, if that aint live then tell me what is, uh-huh---duet with White and Lynn.
7) Soma, Smashing Pumpkins, 8/14/03 The Metro
Early Pumpkins with original members. Alt/indie as hell at the time---I think Corgan is a sell out as of late, but this performance brought back the wind chime wait with the balls out guitar slam down that I loved with the Pumpkins. Billy, bring back D'arcy and Iha AND Chamberlin---relive it---FOR REAL.
8) Belong, REM, Out of Time
Sadly---I do not remember much about this time---think this hit on the walk in to the work building which some days seems like the march off the prison bus.
9) I Am Yours, Derek and the Dominoes, Layla and other assorted Love Songs
Derek and the Dominoes and Layla---VERY special stuff for me because of more material from Duanne Allman in his to short career. Amazing back and forth between Clapton and Allman---I......Am......Yours.....Great song from an all time classic record.
10) Blue and Lonesome, Emmit Nershi Band, 11/11/07 Canopy Club
Recording I had was not very good---got it from archive.org and just needed to fill my Billy fix which it did! I like that Nershi is getting that outlet back to his bluegrass roots with Emmitt Nershi band---just wish it could also in some fashion be moved back in with the former band (Kang) because they were FIRE when they were on....
OK---might get another list in here before the weekend is over. Would love to hear your comments, suggestions, etc!!
Honestly this album will always hold signifigance for me as a blindly played the full rhythum guitar arrangement to Slate. Uncle Tupelo, great band, great mood that any of the albums can put mem but this seems a bit eerie in the pick from the Ipod! Heard this has been reissued and want to check that out....
