I've been in a musical rut lately (the last 20 years). Nothing on XM interests me - if I hear one more Ratt Song on Hair Nation I'll scream. I haven't been in love with any band since GnR in '89 sad to say. I've liked some a lot but it hasn't been the same.
In an effort to end the dry spell I picked up Jacob Dylan's latest CD (came out June of last year that's how up to date I am) and Chris Cornell's Scream CD over the weekend. And I plan on getting Better than Ezra's new one in a few weeks when it comes out. Hopefully there's some inspiration there.
In the meantime I put together a random favorites CD and I'm loving it. I listened to it today on the way to work and just so happened to get stuck in traffic so I listened to all of it and I felt so good when I got into work. I also channeled Joe Cocker while belting out Never Been To Spain - Three Dog Night's version. It happened too while listening to this song that a man in a beat up pick up truck drove by and he had long shaggy hair and a long moustache and I yelled out the window "THREE DOG" (sorta like Freebird but not).

I don't care what anyone says, Chris Cornell's Scream is AMAZING!! I like people who don't conform to the same old rules. And I especially love his justification for doing a record with Timbaland, something to the effect of if you don't take musical risks it's like working in an office. Love it, love him, love his music! CC ROCKS!!

P.S. Another recommendation:pick up Lenny Kravitz' Love Revolution for a great record, start to finish!
