Great Ben Folds song from the first Ben Folds Five CD about a fictional interview/conservation reflection between Howard Cosell and Muhammad Ali.

Have loved King Crimson for years and used to have a video tape copy of this show somewhere. Seeing and hearing it resurface is one reason I love the web. Some great musicianship with a killer groove all from 1973. Robert Fripp on gtr, John Wetton on bass/vox, Bill Bruford on dr, and David Cross going all mellotron.

Burn your Lady Gaga craptacular CDs and start listening to St. Vincent. Check out the song "Marrow" and others. Here is an artist that kicks ass. I just hope that by leading you in with a familiar Beatles' track, you may check out other stuff.

Been on a major Otis kick lately. His cover of the classic "Try a Little Tenderness" has always blown my mind. This live footage from the Stax '67 tour is infectious. How do you not want to dance while watching this? Can you believe he died at the age of 26?

You may know Bill Withers from Lean On Me or Ain't No Sunshine, but he grooved with so much soul in a whole bunch of songs. I love 70's Soul and Funk, but I love it even more when done with organic instruments that really allow for a physicality to the tune instead of today's synth action.

I used to love Emerson, Lake and Palmer. I think I still do. I used to love them because I thought they were rock gods. I know now that they weren't rock gods, but what I love is that they tried to be.

I can't believe that there are still people who haven't seen this amazing clip from Peter Gabriel's Amnesty '86 performance. At the height of apartheid in South Africa, I remember getting shivers when I first saw this and still do today. If you're still in high school and only know Peter Gabriel as that old guy who wrote the song from Wall-E, do some searching and some listening - it's worth it.

Gotta love Sex Mob because, quite frankly, if one doesn't, I wouldn't know what to do with them. Slide trumpet craziness on the bastard child song of Godzilla and Mothra.
