live at folsom prison

I've been listening to a lot of Johnny Cash lately. There is something very honest and sincere in his voice.. it's the voice of a life of struggle and triumph. But he also had a funny side. Check out "Live At Folsom Prison".. it is arguably the most important concert of his career and he even manages to crack a few jokes. Anybody who spends time with his music will find it hard to take. In fact it's hard not feel like you know him like a good friend after spending sometime with his music

quarantine

Saw Quarantine over the weekend. As horror movies go it was pretty scary. But what really got my attention was how much inspiration the last half of this film got form first person shooter video games. See it.. I think you'll agree.. I won't say cuz.. well I don't want to spoil it for you..

memories

Fugees' "The Score" was the soundtrack to an incredible summer. 1996. The sun, the old chevy, a girl sitting next to me. It's funny how even in your early 20s the summers seemed to last forever. Even though I almost died in a car accident towards the end, the summer of 1996 will always be one of the best of my life.

tell tales

Just heard Bob Dylan's Tell Tale Signs (vol 8 in the Bootleg series). These are all outtakes from Dylan's recent albums. As a general rule, musicians don't age well. Culture passes them by, they lose their fire and become complacent. Not Dylan. These songs are as good as his 60's material. And because of the expansive arrangement are musically more interesting than some of his earlier work. Always a challenging artist better than 90% of new artists out there today.
