Random Thoughts

- The Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup last night! In honor of them, here are my five favorite records to come from my home state of Michigan:

5. White Stripes -Elephant
4. Iggy And The Stooges - Raw Power
3. Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
2. Sufjan Stevens - Greetings From Michigan
1. Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life

Michigan is so great, I probably forgot a few. Way to go Wings!


- To add to my list of albums I want this month:

Fleet Foxes (self-titled) - Americana, Beach Boys harmonies, random instrumentation.... you can hear the critics crapping their pants. It's worth a shot...

Bill Frisell - History, Mystery - More long, complex pseudo-jazz from the guy who gave us Have A Little Faith. Can jazz still matter in 2008?


- The above albums bring my total of albums I want this month to seven. That might be a record for me. This means two things:

1. I will be blogging about every day for the second half of this month.
2. Due to great music and gas prices, I might need a second job.

- I'll be gone all of next week, but I'll be writing next weekend (June 14 or 15) about My Morning Jacket and Fleet Foxes.

Take care and God bless
