Steve Miller Band - MGM Grand @ Foxwoods

 Going to see Stever Miller Band today at MGM Foxwoods. I have seen his live show three times now. They don't change it up all that much, but you don't need to when you have 15 classics. I am looking forward to hearing allllll the hits, Jet Airliner, Take the Money and Run, Fly Like an Eagle...the list goes on. This is the music that I grew up listening to, classic rock is my foundation for music. So yall have a nice Sunday now, I know I will (we have a comped sweet upstairs, hit me on the txt if you want to party)

Almost Famous Is Perfect

This morning I awoke in New Hampshire with what I like to call 'The Keene Hangover' and it sucks...every time. After digesting some Dunkin, and a B-load to the face, the opening credits for 'Almost Famous' were just finishing, I was a happy boy. I sank down into the couch, and let one of the best soundtracks ever take over and ease my hangover.

'Almost Famous' is a fictional movie that is semi-autobiographical because director Cameron Crowe was in fact a teenage writer for Rolling Stone. The story is loosely based on his journeys with The Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Lynard Skynard, and The Eagles. Every piece of music whether it be a two second clip of Rod Stewart's 'Every Picture Tells A Story' or the entire 'Tiny Dancer' scene is perfectly placed throughout the movie. Crowe knows how to make music become a character in his movies. Each song sets the mood for the scene and really ties the story together. I kept catching myself saying wow, this is the perfect song to use right here.. If you have seen it, you know what I mean. If you have not seen it...GO SEE IT! Just look at this soundtrack...

Conan's Early Exit

Conan left us last night. Those bastards over at NBC...I blame Jack Donaghy personally. Conan did go out with a bang of course. He gave us a heart-wrenching speech. Voice cracking and eyes tearing up, CoCo thanked NBC for all the good times, and then let ZZ Top, Beck, Ben Harper, led by the vocals of Will Ferrel rock out Skynard's 'Freebird'. Conan strapped on his own Gibson and played along with them and the rest of the Tonight Show Band! Conan can shred!!!!!! The last 3 minutes of this song looked like so much fun!  Have a nice vacation Conan, hope to see you on another network in the fall.

Cruise over to NBC to watch the ep. Those assholes blocked all youtube videos.
