For any of you warren Zevon fans, go to Archive.org

They just released nearly every extant recording of him live in concert, totaling 89 shows (some 1,137 songs) between 1976 and 2001. the downloads are free and sanctioned by his estate.


That's a pretty sweet deal.


out. :blsmoke:

I listen to both Hip Hop and Rock. When I say hip hop I don't mean the stuff that is on the radio. I gave up on the radio a long time ago. I listen to rappers from the 80's, 90's, and some underground rappers. The rappers from those times are nothing like the ones that are popular now. Artists like Common, A Tribe Called Quest, and The Roots have influences from Jazz, Blues, and Soul all over their music, and their lyrics are poetic and about interesting things. I also do listen to some more "hardcore" rappers like Wu-Tang Clan, Kool G Rap, Immortal Technique and many many more. Anyways the point I'm trying to make with this is that just because the popular form of hip hop is really bad, that doesn't mean that all forms of it aren't good music. That's as ridiculous as saying that rock in general sucks because you dislike Fallout Boy or some other lame band. I also really enjoy what people refer to as Classic Rock. Bands like Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Doors, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Bob Dylan, Blue Oyster Cult and many more. I do my best to not limit my taste in music; so I also listen to Jazz, Blues, Soul, Progressive, Metal, and stuff in my native language, Spanish. I think that real musical effort is what makes up good music.

I know that everyone has their own taste in music, and I'm gonna try not to offend anyone, but does anyone hear listen to good music anymore? I mean, the music that our lifestyle was started by, not rap and hip hop and whatnot. I can listen to rap when I'm at parties but only as a backdrop, not as music I would listen to in my spare time. What happened to bands like Simon and Garfunkel with their awesome vocals and guitar riffs, The Grateful Dead (even though we don't have a Jerry G.), Bob Dylan, etc. There are a couple new bands I ran across recently that I like, but I just can't stand today's angry metal (I had enough of it in the early 90's) or rap music because smoking pot is supposed to make you mellow, not angry about your bitches and hoes. Anyone else get me? Why can't anyone today enjoy The Allman Brothers, CCR, The Doors, Country Joe and the Fish, Pete Seeger, or Van Morrison. I have found some new guys showing promise though, Devendra Banhart and yesterday I heard this Ed Harcourt guy on the radio that sounded pretty good. Am I just lost in a culture that expands too quickly to keep up with, or do I have a killer taste in music? Well, thats just my little rant.

There are always bands like String Cheese. Around Ohio there's a band called Ekoostik Hookah that sounds pretty good, too.
