I see and hear lots o stuff and have over 5K records etc. and mostly listen to college,public or xm radio.Now if I could only remember last week-end. This is gifted blues player whose latest record featured the banjo along with several other artists.His daughter plays bass in his band.He has many sounds.

Posting today's band in honor of Austin's fabulous South by Southwest (SXSW) festival which is happening this week. Never been but would love to head out that way on the Buells sometime for it and combine 2 of life's best things: riding and live music. Hear this Norweigian girl band on Satellite radio, they happen to be playing at SXSW this year. From Oslo, THE COCKTAIL SLIPPERS: "Starlet Cole" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi9HfuJi1J4&feature =PlayList&p=B4B25013D68D040C&playnext=1&playnext_f rom=PL&index=18 "Go Get It" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzpyq_4HtGs "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlfsbLcGfHU | ||

Allright- I've got an incredible 4CD set called "Rockin' Bones"- 1950's punk and rockabilly, from Rhino Records. PACKED with the pioneers of rock & roll. I paid $50-60 for it, but to have this treasure in my collection, it was well worth it. Much of the stuff on this set was considered too racy for radio... I'd been listening to NPR one day and they were interviewing the guy who produced this work, with excerpts from several tracks- the one that made me go get the set was "Little Girl" by John and Jackie... I was ROFLMAO for some time after hearing that... Overall, there are 101 songs from folks like Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins, Buck Owens, Roy Orbison- much of this is obscure, forgotten treasure. Punks and hooligans in the 50's...  Highly recommended for all youn's to look up and purchase for yourself- bonus, it has GREAT documentation for every song, and kewl packaging. Play it for your parents too for shits and giggles...  | ||

Sorry, doubled up and reposted too... Listening to Herbie Hancock's "The New Standard" this afternoon. He covers a whole lotta interesting stuff, from Peter Gabriel, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, to Curt Cobain, with these peeps- Michael Brecker, John Scofield, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette, and Don Alias filled out the crew. "Manhattan". Get yourself some. | ||

Early 90s, the "Madchester" scene from the north of England. I'll put some more on another day as there's so much great stuff to choose from, here's The Mock Turtles, Can You Dig It. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGSHIidlesQ | ||

Hope everyone enjoyed their St. Patty's day. Here's a throwback garage band that is a blast to see live. From Athens, GA, the Woggles. "Its Not about What I want" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TxVZl_zbuk&feature =related "My Baby Likes to Boogaloo"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaGWuE-Vnn4&feature =PlayList&p=5DE729326796BCD1&playnext=1&playnext_f rom=PL&index=9 | ||

86129-lucky you for having good quality local radio and thanks for passing the info along. We have exactly one good local music show worth catching and unfortunately it's on Sunday mornings when I am usually working. Real Radio 104.1 has Joseph Martens "Sunday Morning Coming Down". Other than that, stuff on the internet, Satellite radio and the occasional "Austin City Limits" that's it for our current musical enlightenment. Oh, and can't forget this thread!!! For today, another Texas band. Caught them on ACL, they look like a ton of fun live. First track here is not edited, and soooo not PC. Cover of a SNOOP DOGG tune and reminds me of our first visit to a FL honky tonk bar in the 90's. When the band went on break, they played rap music and all the big haired country chicks ran to the dance floor, abandoning their two-stepping for whatever you'd call what they were doing instead. Bizarre but fascinating. Here's THE GOURDS. "Gin and Juice" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4hGSR5njZE "El Paso" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umKy2vxkjRw And not the best sound quality..."Lower 48" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3grvrrdkds | ||

(sound of crickets chirping) Ya'll still there?  Rainy day here in (notso) sunny Florida, and now I'm bummed that we missed catching this guy at the Backbooth in Orlando last weekend. Oh well, its kinda nice to actually be home on a Sunday morning for a change and be able to catch up on the local music happenings. Yet another Texas performer of the traditional/alt-country/maybe even rockabilly ilk, WAYNE "the Train" HANCOCK. "Juke Joint Jumpin" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbz3WcJf3nI "Tulsa" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ9xofEmrrI | ||

Jay Clark- one of the local guys here in East TN- he wrote "On A Sunday", absolutely a great song, great lyrics, one of those when you know the tune, you're compelled to sing along or just take a break and listen to it. Gotta support the "little guy" musicians out there... BTW, WDVX is in the middle of their spring fundraising drive- I've contributed my regular donation, gots me an autographed copy of Van Eaton's CD AND WDVX's latest compilation coming in the mail soon. If youn's have a worthy public radio station to listen to, give them a hand when it's time for fundraising- you'll be glad you did. | ||

Yay,  keep these posts coming. Here's a midwestern band that broke up in '94 before we had a chance to see them live. Although their members individually went on to other relatively successful ventures, the magical chemistry of this band was never replicated. From the Land of Lincoln, here's UNCLE TUPELO. "Whiskey Bottle"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICrur9dMoiA "Graveyard shift" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKo_1rVClOk "Gun" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3qSlwMnLWw | ||

I'm feeling all Celtic today so here's a couple of greats from the Breton music scene. Dan Ar Braz the guitarist & Alain Stivell the harpist. | ||

Interesting selections. Mr. Grumpy. Never in a million years would I have stumbled across any of those on my own. Very cool. Here's another alt-country band from Texas. Never had big commercial success but several of their songs have showed up in recent movies and sitcoms. Like David Lowery of Cracker, Old 97's lead singer Rhett Miller has a very distinctive raspy voice. Think they'd be a hoot to catch live. Here's the OLD 97's. "Wont Be Home" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1nn7lXP7WQ "Dance with Me" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDDyD0Hj5n0&feature =related "Barrier Reef" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ9XgWmlf3o&NR=1 | ||

Hillstomp was in Seattle recently. I dig their brand of punk blues. | ||
| Moxnix |
I like that Hillstomp stuff, and I likes me some moldy oldies. Blind Willie Johnson, one of his recordings went in the spacecraft Voyager, shot off to infinity: Dark Was the Night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNj2BXW852g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_veQRT7bus&feature =fvw | ||

Punk: Carson Daly had a piece on Bad Religion last nite, good stuff. The Mighty Lemon Drops did a cover of "Another Girl Another Planet" on a great compilation disc I've got- "Just Say Anything: Vol. 5 of Just Say Yes". Wish I had that whole series, only got 2 of those discs... My $.02, from that same disc a fave track: Royal Crescent Mob, "Timebomb" (Single Mix). I love finding good compilation discs- takes a little work, but the payoff is BIg for ear candy... | ||
