iPod Playlist

Monday, December 5th, 2011

Inspired by Gideon Bok’s show at Space Gallery in Portland, a portion of my tree trimming holiday playlist (no Michael Buble sorry EM). I’m getting my tree this weekend from a local youth group. It would be so much more fun to go and cut one down at a local tree farm, but I’m going the lazy route this year. Do you already have yours up and decorated? I’ve got friends visiting Sunday and Monday so I need to finish the holiday sprucing of the house.

Gram Parsons and Keith Richards

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

I’m not sure what it is, I’ve loved the Rolling Stones for as long as I can remember…saw them in concert twice in college….but for some reason reading Keith Richards’ incredibly good autobiography Life has me thinking he was one sexy dude (and how on earth does someone who has consumed as many narcotics as he has ever remember as many details). Before it was just he is one talented musician.

Not too long ago I saw “Gram Parsons: Fallen Angel,” and while I still enjoy his music just as much after watching the film as I did before I think a lot less of the man. From reading Life and watching the film on Parsons I learned the two were like brothers for a short period of time sharing a mutual admiration for music (Parsons introduced Richards to country music) and drugs. Putting the latter bit aside what I would give to have been in the room for some of their conversations. Just to sit and listen to them talk about the music, play music…OMG!
