A ton of “Who, and Why?” for me, but Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers I didn’t know about! Mastodon has a large following, I just can’t get into them.

Reading Rainbow? Bring it back!

RIOB tackles why we hate certain music.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfTMlpE2JiM WARNING!

I agree music is subjective. Not everyone will like one genre, or the same group. That would be boring! I don’t listen to Rap/Hip Hop, if I did I’d go straight to Kanye West. If he releases a “Greatest Hits” album, I’ll be in the line-up to buy it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsO6ZnUZI0g Yes, I like this song and haven’t really disliked any of his singles. Best singer? I don’t care how big a singers vocal range is. Singers, that I know of who were missed in the discussion of “Best singer”. Nat King Cole. AWESOME VOICE!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mae_NJ_12sc

Any art is selfish, in a good way. Let me explain. If you’re doing some type of art, you do it for yourself, if it catches on you can make money from it buy selling your art to like minded people! If it doesn’t catch on with other people, keep making it for yourself, because YOU won’t be doing something you don’t take pleasure in. Why do I like heavy music for the most part? I don’t know, I just do.

The Mayfield Four, the singer was Myles Kennedy, his first group I believe from way back when. Now famous for singing in Alter Bridge and with Slash. The Mayfield 4 made 2 albums that I know of. I saw them live once. In order of appearance at the show was The Mayfield 4, The Watchmen and Big Wreck as headliners. I think that or some other Big Wreck concert was wear my hearing started going. I would ware ear plugs for 2 songs then take them out since I was unable to hear the higher notes with them in. I have very little hearing in my right ear because of this.

Anyways, back on topic. Only the 2^nd album is available on iTunes. The first album is very rare, I had to download it for free years ago or it was on amazon.ca for $150 or so. You can find the songs on youtube.com though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT5YuYt0dIU one of my favourite songs.

This album “Second Skin” I found on iTunes!

Why don’t I have a child? I’m flat out terrified, scared, petrified of having to raise a child and highly doubt myself as a father. Kim would be a FANTASTIC mother though. I love my friends kids. I play with them and teach them bad habits, then they go home and become a full time job for their parents. This is something I NEED to get over. I wanted children before, on the other hand I don’t want to watch my child go through something like I did. I don’t want to feel completely helpless.

Cancer is not genetic. It coincidentally is common on my mother side of the family. Grandma, Me, Grandpa and my Aunt in Winnipeg. My aunt is on to a tougher chemo therapy and feeling terrible at the moment. Her feet feel like they’re burning, they’re peeling and her mouth is full of sores, it hurts when she eats something and she’s sleeping quite a bit. I slept for most of 2008, but I didn’t have any peeling or sores.

Apparently my back was so sore in 2008 Kim couldn’t even touch my toes without me screaming in pain. I was on a pain medication, my chiropractor came, I had acupuncture, and finally a cortisone shot right into my spine that worked. My first of 7 cortisone shots.

I had a really good talk with my dad over lunch with him! I told him what I thought about being a father. He told me I’d be a better father than him. That would be very hard to top! My parents are nothing short of FANTASTIC!!!

Matthew Good Band & Matthew Good. Matthew Good Band came first and released 6 albums. They blew up on their 4^th album “Underdogs” they were everywhere! I even saw Matthew Good interviewed on the CBC news. They did some alternative rock and some quiet mood music and the bulk of it I liked! This is from the “Underdogs” album released in 1997. FYI HE HAS A POTTY MOUTH!!!

“Beautiful Midnight” is my favourite album of theirs, released in 1998. Yes I love this song and Rob, Dave, Rydell and I played this along with 30 or more songs?

Then the 2001 release “Audio of Being” was the final album from the Matthew Good Band.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw30TrAv8rg

Here’s 2 hits they had that were softer yet awesome from “Underdogs” and “Beautiful Midnight”, yes he’s Canadian. From B.C. I believe.

Matthew Good as a solo artist was pretty hit and miss for me. These are two of his solo songs I enjoy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CsD4TTYKdA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLPdSzQgwJA

I stopped following him after his first 2 solo albums, just wasn’t for me, most of it anyways. If I don’t like 80% of an album I don’t buy it! I don’t buy a song here and a song there on iTunes only bonus songs on a Greatest Hits album or a Deluxe Version of an album, other than that it’s an entire album or nothing because I most likely won’t listen to it.
