Now Listening To, You know the drill Options

Well, I missed this good ol' thread, so I am pulling out My Necromancer robe and raising the dead. Anyways, I believe the last post, other than the closer, was

Don't mind if I old-school punk this place up a bit do you?

Garden of Serenity - Ramones.

The Ramones have almost no musical talent, but they are somehow still awesome. It baffles even me."

Not at all, especially if its the Ramones. But no musical talent? They were pretty fresh when they started, but they grew amazing. Remember when they covered "What a wonderful world"? It was dead on with punk stylings.

Well, I'll see your Garden of Serenity with a Happy Birthday Mr. Burns by the Ramones, and add a We're a Happy Family by the one and only, Ramones.

Currently having a lil' jazz marathon here before heading off to a drumming session, where we'll most likely "rock". Last friday, I went to a Charlie Hunter Trio concert -- that's Charlie Hunter on his 8-string, John Ellis on sax and Derrek Phillips on drums -- and it was a magical experience.
There was much excellent, varied improvisation, and they just went so well together. Been listening to lots of CH since then.

Skimming through some cool live-stuff at the moment.
Videos @ CharlieHunter.com - "Just a closer walk with thee" is pretty cool. For those who bothered getting Real Player, give 'em a view!
There're also quite a few audio tracks; Audio @ CharlieHunter.com. One I really like there and have been listening through a lot just for kicks, is the "Percussion Shuffle" from the last one there, "Yoshi's, Oakland, CA - December 2000".

Also excellent and pleasant time-killers would be live-recordings from john axon ellis.com -- the sax in the trio. I've only gotten through "Moore's alphabet" there, but that's a pretty neat one.

Dig in!

In between all that comes Whitesnake and other Tommy Aldridge material. He actually came all the way to Bergen a few weeks ago and had a drum clinic, and much of it still lingers 'round in me head - and me chest, because they'd amplified the bass pretty heavily. Imagine that and a rocker taking a jog on his double pedals.
