JDoors Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I'm feeling a little bit Country / Folksy so: Leo Kottke (Man, can he play the guitar or what?) Emmylou Harris (What a voice!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimras Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) Yeah, Leo can sure play. I saw him live a few years ago and I swear, it sounded like there were three peopleplaying that guitar. He is truly a gifted musician and a master at his craft!

garmanma Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I have his Six and Twelve String Guitar playing right now. He's amazing. I love the story on how the ten string guitar came to be Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I got to see him live too. He'd start to play a song and I'd practically scream like a school girl, "Oh man! That's (fill in the name of a song)!" A guy nearby said, "You guys are real fans, huh?" OK, that was a little embarrassing. Rings is one of my personal favorites, but he says that though he realizes it's a fan favorite, he's not particularly fond of it. That was a bit disappointing. I'll never forget one of the album liner notes where he says he knows his voice isn't all that great, in fact, it sounds like, "Goose farts on a foggy afternoon." Close, very close. Today: Rush, Chronicles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Is this supposed to be a replacement for the What Are You Listening To Right Now thread? BTW, why was that locked?Anyway:The Delgados - The Light Before We Landif you look up trivia on the song, you might discover why I like it.Before that though I was listening to various songs from Disturbed, Shinedown, and The Offspring.

JDoors Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I'm not sure why some active, low-count threads are being closed. Today: The Matrix, Music From The Motion Picture What an ICONIC movie that was. I remember the first time I saw what has become known as, because of its extensive use in The Matrix, "bullet time." Oddly, it was in a GAP commercial. I was blown away by that one, short use of the technique I actually recorded the commercial just so I could play it back to try and figure out how they did it (I couldn't). Then out comes The Matrix and practically the WHOLE MOVIE is done in bullet time. Whoa! (To coin a phrase.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Probably gonna spend most of my day listening to Disturbed and Shinedown again. I bought some new CD's Sunday while I was Best Buy.Right now:Shinedown - DevourShinedown - Sin With a GrinShinedown - Cyanide Sweet Tooth SuicidePS, this is why I like the The Light Before We Land.

Because of this PSA I can NEVER listen to the National Anthem without giggling a little (how bad is that?). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDoors Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) <snip!>---- What a coincidink. While waiting for my computer to reboot I reached over to the file cabinet to sort through old receipts to toss. I throw all the receipts paid by cash in one file folder and clear them out ... well ... practically never. And guess what I found? My ticket stub from when I went to see The Matrix ! Dated 4/3/99, cost $6.75, at four in the afternoon so it must've been the matinee screening. Whoa! (Yeah, I'm a packrat.)----- Oopsey, meant to "edit," not "quote." Long night.----- Finally figured out I could reduce the "load" by editing out the mistaken quotation. Edited September 10, 2008 by JDoors Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDoors Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 ... a Sabbath song more to my taste now-a days. I'm going to go out on a limb and, without even check the video first, guess that "Sabbath" isn't a shortened version of "Black Sabbath." I'm behind schedule today so I just turned on the radio, currently Jesus Jones, Right Here, Right Now (which I have on CD). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
