emmylou harris - boulder to birmingham (live-1977) a tribute to gram parsons

A stellar performance of a beautiful song ...

Songs you wish had been written for you ... a fun Saturday PM topic!

Thanks to Lady LakeArenal for the idea ...

Doesn't matter if it's 'in life' or 'sung at your funeral' or 'written by your daughter 10 years after you pass' ... whatever's clever.

I'll start out with this one ... just cause it's crazy romantic and sweet and I mean who WOULDN'T want this one written for them? Probably been 'our song' at like 100,000,000 weddings lol ... but this live performance is even better than the original ...

Skip to 2 mins if you don't care for the banter ... but it's not bad.

Forgotten Great from 1979 - $5 says you don't know the title, nor artist, but u know the tune

At least, if you're old enough to have listened to radio a lot circa 1979

Dig this track ... I could totally hear the Dead (with Jerry a'course) singing a cover ...

the jam - town called malice (studio-1982) there's 'catchy', and then there's 'you must dance now!'

This one ... would be the latter ... it don't get much more infectious than this classic ... friggin' bassist just KILLS it ...

sinead o'connor - mandinka (studio-1987) her first single served notice, man ...

And 1987 was great year for music ...

sisters of mercy - this corrosion (studio-1987) when the kids in black would emerge from shadowy

corners of the club and converge on the floor, to engage in their arcane grooving rituals ...

this track was a straight-up monster, one the 80's best IMHO ... trent reznor, eat your heart out!

inxs - don't change (studio-1982) cuz there's not a lot of utterly perfect songs

but this ... is one.

Also, Jesus ... it's been 37 freaking years already that I been rocking this song?

Crazy. Yet, it is one song that's strangely never really gotten old to me.

And the louder it's playing, the more I like it ...



Michael ... ur still missed ...

patty griffin w. robert plant - ohio (studio-2013) from her brilliant 'american kid' record ...

If you like this track, and you've never listened to that album ... you really should ... perfect early morning fare (or late night) ...

patty griffin - one big love (studio-1998) - should've been a big hit imho ...

<3 me some Patty Griffin ... sounds good loud, BTW

So my 4 y.o. Solid State (System) Drive died, and I had to reinstall Windows cause somehow my backup

got corrupted (on my USB HD) ... it was a 9 y.o. freaking install ... man am I missing it ... that's a LOT of installed programs (esp. games ... over 100 counting my Steam library ... although the Program Files folder containing these games was on a separate spinner, a lot of 'em are likely to need to be D/L'ed again and re-installed, or just reinstalled if I have the files or discs) to deal with.

Not to mention I'm a super-picky computer nerd, there's TONS of settings and tweaks I've done ... all lost. It's gonna take me weeks ...

Anyways ... so I had to temporarily reinstall Windows to a extra spinner and wait for my Newegg-ordered SSD to arrive over the last week or so, and MAN ... it is ROUGH going back to a HD from an SSD for your Boot drive.

Ya ever tried it? FREAKING HELL you forget how slow they are!!!

Anyways, I imaged my new install, and it's in the process of restoring to my new 1TB SSD via Macrium Reflect (awesome free BU software, btw) ... I cannot WAIT to boot up on this f***** instead of the old Raptor X 150GB windows is on the last week
