Music- What are you listening to?

I am basking in the afterglow of an amazing live show from Lansing's Frontier Ruckus with Chris Bathgate, along with the Sisters Lucas, in the lobby of the Guardian Building.

Simply amazing.

I remember that summer when Regina showed up on the scene, chaperoned by Marcus Belgrave. Seemed EVERY jazz stage I sat in front of, she appeared on...didn't matter if it was Orange Lake Drive, Alexander Zonjic, or whatever, this perky and energetic and enthusiastic young lady would just blow them off the stage with her violin...and they all loved her.

This morning I'm soaking up some energy from the Toy Matinee...a disc I got from the DTS people seven or eight years ago...and I seem to only play it twice a year. Great harmonic energy and driving rhythms...not a bad way to start a Friday.

Ice Cube - AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted - I'm feelin' all rough and raw today, must be the weather.

I was turned on to Charlyn Marshall aka Cat Power last night on Austin City Limits. What a voice, easy on the eyes for a skinny girl too.

Bruce Cockburn iTunes playlist. Then I'm going to pump it up a bit for the end of the night, maybe some Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros.

"Her Morning Elegance" written and produced by Oren Lavie, from the Oren Lavie album The Opposite Side of the Sea

The lyrics:

Sun been down for days
A pretty flower in a vase
A slipper by the fireplace
A cello lying in its case

Soon she's down the stairs
Her morning elegance she wears
The sound of water makes her dream
Awoken by a cloud of steam
She pours a daydream in a cup
A spoon of sugar sweetens up

And She fights for her life
As she puts on a coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

Sun been down for days
A winter melody she plays
The thunder makes her contemplate
She hears a noise behind the gate
Perhaps a letter with a dove
Perhaps a stranger she could love

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in the store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in the store
Where the people are pleasently strange
And counting the change
As She goes...
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

Nobody knows

Why is she "fighting for her life"? She seems content. What's that story?

Visiting the sixties, again....

"Well I'm about to get UPSET
From watchin' my TV
Been checkin' out the news
Until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean they say that every day
Is just another rotten mess
And when it's gonna change, my friends
Is anybody's guess

So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day"
by Frank Zappa

I guess the job search has dampened my spirit!!
