Previous Post I've been going through an 80s rock phase. "Alexa, play Def Leppard... play Whitesnake... play the Scorpions." I know all those bands existed in the late 70s but I associate them with the 80s. Do you go through musical phases like I do? What phase are you in lately?

Well, right now I am starring at some Coltrane CDs.


I have been listening to the Desire album by Bob Dylan quite a bit recently.

I have had the song Cadillac Assembly Line by Albert King stuck in my head for a few days

I have been listening to a lot of Larkin Poe on youtube while I work, so I will probably pull out those CDs fort the car before too long. Probably the best new band I have discovered in a good long while.


The problem is, with me there are certain types of music that are seasonal. I love Psychedelic Rock in the Spring and Summer.

Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Simon and GArfunkel and Led Zeppelin fit like a glove when the leaves start to change.

Right now, the seasons are still in the in between, so I have not quite felt the need to look yet.

Though I can tell you my ind is starting to head towards
-They Might Be giants
-Amy Gore, Rolling Stones
-Suzi Quatro
-The New Pornographers (especially Challengers of the unknown)
-Husker Du
- the Wipers
-The Mountain Goats.

If history is any indicator, I will probably also probably start listening to MC5 before too long (gotta get that good 60s Detroit punk sound)

And of course I never go that long with out listening to in one of her incarnations.
