Guest DJ: Sully
Number 3. This time it’s Next Listener Sully. Please listen and leave him a comment. I am having a great time listening to your “shows”. I also want to thank you for taking time out of your busy lives to do this.
He came in with almost 20 songs and Growler of Green Flash IPA (which I’ll be opening tonight). Thanks. I have a feeling he will be back for another shot at guest DJing (and you can dj too just email me). I how the hell can someone in their right mind turn down listening to great music and a nice mircobrew IPA? That’s right you don’t. Hope you enjoy Sully as Guest DJ #3.

A 4 year olds perspective
You’ll soon learn my little girl is a rocker. I am a man of my word and I did promise you a mix of her favorite songs of 2009. I’ve finally put them together for your listening pleasure. Please remember these songs were picked by a 4 year old. Yes a 4 year old.
There are 3 songs not on GrooveShark which I’ll embed at the bottom: Black Taxi “Up Here For Thinking Down There For Dancing”, Band of Skulls “I Know What I Am”, Heavy Young Heathens “Sha La La La La”.
I don’t know about you but I think she would make one hell of a MD (Music Director). I’d listen. It might be a good “getting ready to go out mix”. Just saying. Listen and enjoy.
The missing tunes
Let me know what you think of my 4 year old’s favorite tracks of 2009
2 Comments »It Might Get Loud
“It Might Get Loud” has a running time of 97 minutes but I could have watched for 197 minutes. Maybe more.
Yes, yes I know that is an “old” movie but I finally got to watch the film. I will blame my two kids (get all your movie watching in now Parents-to-be) and the fact that when we do get to a movie (rarely) Kate would rather watch a Sandra Bullock movie or some other Rom-Com. I know you’re saying “Man up Bro” or maybe you’re more of a “Grow a Pair” guy but really once you are married you figure out if the wife is happy the house is happy. We were supposed to see a preview of this film but life got in the way so…into the Netflix queue it went. I so do love when I don’t check my queue for awhile and a movie just shows up as this one did. A happy accident.
Anyway, on to this glorious film.
You know the characters. You know their work and yet the film is full of musical magic and surprise. Jimmy is a wizard, Jack is an old soul and The Edge is just cool. Pardon the use of only their first names. If you don’t know it’s Jimmy Page, Jack White and David Evans (The Edge). Watch the deleted scenes to find our what Edge’s mother calls him.
The film did a very good job of showing each guitar player in his element. It brings their past and present together in a very nice (but short) package. It seemed to me when the 3 of them gathered Jimmy and Jack were cut of same general cloth (the blues) and The Edge was an outsider. The Edge looking for perfection while Jack wants dirty. Neither is wrong and no one is right.
They have different goals for their music. They came from different backgrounds which affected their playing. They all want to make the guitar sound the way they hear it in their heads.
It was so much fun watching the 3 guitarist playing, having fun and enjoying each others sound. If you are lover of music in general, you’ll enjoy this film. If you play guitar, this film is heaven on earth. Get it in your queue right now.
May you indulge me one “If Only?” Just how amazing would it be if only Hendrix were around for this film?
Short Q & A after film screening
Should we talk extras? Bonus Material? Hell yes. I told you I would watch hours upon hours of these 3 guitarists and that is where I get get my wish.
I am sure you rarely check out the extra scenes but I implore you to “watch all”. The deleted scenes are fantastic. In fact, as I am writing this my little girl just came up to me and asked for “all the Princess movies we don’t have” because “I don’t know too much about them”. 
She is a rocker though and watched a bit of it with me. Her favorite was the “Seven Nation Army” deleted scene. Direct Quote “I like that guy” while pointing to Jack White. As formerly stated she is a rocker and obviously loves that dirty guitar sound.
One thing they should have included were the photos that were surely taken during the filming of the film. I would have loved a nice collection of those. A couple nice black and whites…
I think I will be buying this one for my DVD collection. This is a bold statement as the only films that recently have been added to the DVD library are Disney Movies, Animal Documentaries and other various Children’s films.
As mentioned above I don’t get to the movies that often but I might finally get a chance to see Avatar tonight.
Interview with Grant Lee Phillips
I was lucky enough to chat with singer/songwriter extraordinaire Grant Lee Phillips. He was on a very interesting bill (which included an entertaining Jeff Daniels) at Manhattan’s City Winery.
It was my first visit to the City Winery and I was impressed. It would make a great date night – Hint Hint. Visually speaking it’s quite impressive and the sound is pristine. Oh and guys visit the bathroom for “a little boy visit.”
Grant Lee Phillips had just finished sound checking and took a few moments to chat with me. We talked about various topics and he was an incredibly warm, interesting and friendly interview.
We chat about goals of 2010, His little girl’s favorite tunes, His favorite place on Earth, 10,000 hours, Little Moon, Grant Lee Buffalo, the future of music and more.
