Miracle X 3

The new picture above is one I took of Steve Wynn with my iphone at the Southgate House gig we went to see last fall. It was a triple bill, with no personnel change. Steve Wynn, Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey & Linda Pitman. Minus 5, The Baseball Project & Steve Wynn IV. It was a rock'n'roll songwriter in the round type of thing. These guys put out a record together in 2008 called the Baseball Project, all new original songs about baseball. Peter works with Scott in Minus 5. Steve and Linda are married and play together in Steve's Miracle 3 band. My favorite show of 2009. Double bonus for me?? I took a leak between Peter Buck & Steve Wynn. That's my rock n roll brush with greatness.

Weekend Playlist

I've been making playlists, burning them to cd and listening in the car. I've commented before that the ipod changed the way I listen to music, a constant shuffle. Pre-ipod, that's all I wished for; some magical station that only played the songs I liked. My Music. "Your music," as my family calls it. Well, careful what you wish for. I've been listening to more cd's/lp's and making playlists recently. The randomness has lost some of its luster and the deep enjoyment of picking the perfect song(s) for the moment has made the past couple of weeks enjoyable for this music lover. Here is last week's list, it's a good one:
