What's on YOUR MP3 Player?

Right around Christmas, I decided to listen to every song on every album on my iPod and weed out the stuff I really like/want to keep from the stuff I can live without. With that said, here are a few albums I've absolutely fallen in with and listen to on a regular basis:

- "At Fillmore East (Deluxe Edition)" by The Allman Brothers Band
- "Warpaint Live" by The Black Crowes
- "Honey Pig" by Bosley
- "Safe as Milk" by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
- "Soul Exorcism Redux" by James Chance & the Contortions
- "Carnegie Hall" by Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention
- "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" by The Huntingtons
- "In the Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson *200 gram vinyl ed.*
- "Hard Ways" by Los Duggans
- "Talking Songs for Walking/Necklace of Heads" by Lungfish
- "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd
- "Complete Control Sessions" by Scream
- "Stretching Out" by The Skatalites
- "Univox" by Univox

I got my Dave's Pick CDs this afternoon and for some reason I can't seem to get the goofy grin off my face.

A friend of mine recently passed on an AWESOME
10/5/05 instant live recording of the Black Crowes at the 9:30 club. OUTSTANDING GIG. With that package he also passed on two Chris Robinson Brotherhood gigs and a copy of his second solo effort "This Magnificent Distance" and I can't get over them. Train Robbers is one of the greater tracks I have heard in a long time. I can't believe I went this long without getting into Chris' solo records.

and the ever-presents that NEVER leave my stereo

David Crosby-If I Could Only Remember my name
Paul Kantner-Blows Against The Empire
Jefferson Airplane-Volunteers
Moby Grape-Live Bootleg (official release from sundazed)
The Allman Brothers Band-One Way Out: An Evening at The Beacon Theatre

And for X-mas a friend gave me a flash drive with the complete Europe 72 recordings. That alone made me cry and I still haven't listened to all of them although I really dig the Rotterdam radio broadcast and Hamburg.

That's it for...this one.

I've really been digging Jesse McReynolds plays the songs of the Grateful Dead, a tributie to Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter. It's got a killer version of Birdsong and I think the best Alabamam Getaway I've ever heard. He's a bluegrass legend. Kind of ironic that Jerry use to follow him and his brother, Jim, around back in the day and now the teacher pays tribute to the follower.

I currently have the entire 72 boxset in my ipod. Took way to long to encode all the discs to mp3's. There's alos a ton of old Art Bell shows on there as well.
