Friday Firsts

This is the first thing I have basically written on anything like this. I will try and stick to the basics at hand. I do love politics, sports, tv, etc... You name it I am usually interested in it. One of my true loves is always music. Music is the soundtrack to life and for me can change day to day minute to minute. Now some people say that if you don't stick to specific genres than whats the point? Or listening to whatever comes on the radio makes you a teeny bopper sell out. I believe not true. I have tons and tons of "classic" favorites like Fleetwood Mac, Clapton, Jackson Browne. Then there those that keep going and going despite age like the Stones, Rod Stewart, Paul McCartney and John Fogerty to them I say more power to you and rock on!


Now on to the real topic. I do listen to the radio a lot, some stations I have a tendency to stay away from just because they play the same ole crap everyday twenty times a day but every once in a while I stop on the dial and will hear something that I truly cannot get out of my head. This time it wasn't the radio it was The Tonight Show with Leno. Being the insomniac that I am I stayed up to watch the musical guest just because I had never heard of them. It was a group called Fort Minor, http://fortminor.com/site.php, now I think they have been around since at least last year thats when the cd came out, how I missed it I am not sure I am usually up to that kind of stuff. The group is composed some members of different bands like The Roots, John Legend, Common and Holly Brook and the main person is Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park. I have this song "Where'd you go?" stuck in my head since Monday night. Went to the website and heard a few more songs, me likey and will probaly be buying the cd soon.

Ok so thats my music endorsement for today,more to follow and if you have not checked out any of the other bands listed above, by all means GO! Stop reading this and enjoy the sounds of all different cultures :)


Go, go be musically edumacated!
