Kind of Blue. Great Call. Cant believe that I forgot that one.
Its kind of a college thing, I guess. Steely Dan was the calm before the storm. Kind of like AC/DC b/f a football game or something.
And last but not least, the single greatest hangover music of all time - only forgot this one because I was hungover this morning when I was typing - JJ Cale - especially the JJ Cale live. Or Anthology. Perfect.
My freshman year in college I often put on “Deal” from the live JGB album as a “get myself fired up” pre-going out song…
Well, I definitely don’t go out like that much anymore. And most mornings around here these days involve Sesame Street and the like, but here are some good choices:
Beatles (most of their stuff)
Velvet Underground & Nico (the Warhol banana album)
Billy Bragg & Wilco
The Shins
Phish - maybe Rift or Farmhouse
Stones - Let it Bleed or Beggars Banquet
Smiths - probably Hatful of Hollow or their self-titled debut
some good jazz (Miles, Bird, some mellow 'Trane, but definitely not Thelonious if you’re hung over)
Personally…i’m a huge country music fan, so that works.
Robert Miles works too.
although…a buddy of mine had a great story a little while ago. He hooked up with this girl while we were all partying. He slept @ her place. His roomates had Mase ‘Welcome Back’ playing the second he stepped into the room…
it was good times.
The more time I spend here the more I realize the only thing I have in common with most triathletes is the love of triathlon.
My morning after music? Pantera, White Zombie, Anthrax, Ministry. Anything that makes my head hurt worse. I enjoy the pain.
Steely Dan? James Taylor? Thats suicide music.
