I can see why your daughter called it feet.

Amazing!

My kid called it "feet!" when she was little.

There is not a lot of music I do not like but sometimes I don't like the words.

One of the things that touched me about Freddie Mercury was that he was one of those guys who worshipped an opera diva. He had good taste too. Monserrat Caballe. I read an article about it forever ago, so I won't recall much. But she was a depressive. And he was good to her. I just loved that about him. I was touched by him. I know the controversies -- not out out, the boyfriend he didn't treat all that well. There were others. HIV status lies. But I was always so proud of him. I felt a sense of lgbt kindship with Elton, but I didn't CARE. I just found Freddie touching. Hard to explain.

There was another gay male performer who used to get to me that way -- just intense sentimental lgbt solidarity. (I know Freddie was bi). Not a singer. The figure skater, Rudy Galindo. Whenever he would skate, I would cry and cry. It's ridiculous really -- my reaction.

This is one of my favorite Dylan covers. I am a Dylan person, I confess. Not a true freak, but leaning that way. Anyway, there's something about hearing a woman's voice singing, "You're a Big Girl Now." Mmm.

I have always enjoyed riot grrrl music. Ever since the movement first started. It hard to find someone who enjoys Sleater Kinney, Bratmobile, Excuse 17, The Spells, Lunachicks, The Third Sex, L7, Bikini Kill, 7 Year Bitch, Babes in Toyland, The Bangs, The Donnas (their earlier stuff kicked ass), The Gossip (again their older stuff not so much the new stuff) as much as I do!!!

Beth Ditto, Kathleen Hanna, Carrie Brownstein will always have special spot in my heart. RIOTgrrrls will forever be my favorite type of music.

Once in a while I like to jam to some Cowboys from Hell. Pantera always livens up my mood. Maybe a little Ozzy Osborne and some Sepultura!! Throw in a little Slayer and we can call it a night!

The only one of those groups I have ever listened to is Sleater Kinney. I got The Woods after reading so many good reviews. It was good, but I never sought out any of their other music. A little hard core for me. I listened to that record quite a bit though.

AnnRkey · 10-23-2012, 01:41 AM

Yeah The Woods in one of the last LPs they made before they broke up. You should listean to Sleater Kinney the self titled LP and Dig Me out, and All hands on the bad one...prolly the best Sleater Kinney albums out..

I listen to alternative country. I like the harder rockers, but not exclusively. I also like some of the folkier artists.

Hack and I are seeing Christian McBride and Inside Straight on Thursday night

He is quite awesome, a jazz legacy. And a well played stand up bass makes me swoon.

We saw him at Tanglewood this summer when he opened for Wynton Marsalis, which was wonderful. His drummer Ulysses Owen and pianist Christian Sands are also exceptional.

I'm excited to see him at the Iron Horse Music Hall, one of my favorite venues because it is so intimate (less than 200 seats, kind of an old boho cafe/irish pub style hall), the space is a bit of a legend in its own right.

I'm not a huge fan of modern country, Althought Taylor swift Miranda lambert, and a few others I do enjoy. I like honky tonk too Loretta Lynn, Ernest Tubb, Hank Senior, Patsy Cline. Not so much the bluegrass genre.

I defiantly enjoy jazz and blues, especially on snowy chilly Minnesota weekends or on a gloomy overcast rainy day, that is when blues and jazz are greatly appreciated by my ears.

DBR ::: One of the most innovative and talented composers and musicians in the world today - he seems to effortlessly create music that sits at the intersection of classical, hip-hop and electronic genres. He's really quite brilliant: artistically and intellectually.

I had the opportunity to see him perform with the Lark Quartet at Merkin Hall in New York a few years ago. I'm still in awe. And I'd leap at the chance to see him again, anytime, anywhere, any genre.
