Funny that, I heard "I Want You To Want Me" on the BBC last week, first time I've heard it in over 20 years. It's a really good song!! :D

I recently wound down a T-rex phase, then found myself listening to a lot of the old Iron Maiden, and Sublime. The Chili Peppers are allways in the listening arsenal, as well as the Stooges... But you just can't beet some Merle Haggard.... I am all over the listening map, I guess I like anything with a good bassline...

I've been digging the garden.

Apart from that, pretty much anything that Radio 2 throws my way. Yes, I'm that old!!

I've been listening to a lot of U2 lately. Other than that, my usual mix of Led Zeppelin and various other rock music.

While you're checking suggestions...

I got Fred Wesley's "Wuda Cuda Shuda" album yesterday. It's itense Jazz-Funk. Great

I discovered a Drum and Bass kind of band the other day called "Matrix and Futurebound" with their Universal Truth album. Universal Truth is a massive tune, I actually love it.

I'm still REALLY into Rusted Root, with such tunes as "Union 7" and "Send Me On My Way" and digging Paul Simon's "Graceland" album, with classics such as "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" and "Call Me Al"

The CD I play at work most often is The Huckleberries "Jigweed" with AMAZING tunes like "Huckleberry Island"

Check them out if you're not familiar.

I am digging and learning some Stones...working on nailing down the bass line to Sympathy for the Devil. Almost there. I just need to play it slowly first to become more accurate, then build up the speed.

Music for me today worked how I always wanted it to work. I was in a grumbly mood early on, but my coworker turned on his Pandora channel. This song with a sweet bass line came on and I was hooked. Asked him who it was, looked them up on Google and then iTunes and bought the song on the spot.

The song is called "Malcangrejos" and it's by a band called (and off the album entitled) Dear + Glorious Physician. Not sure what it is about it, but the bass line just really stuck with me.

Turns out they're no longer together (boo) but at least I got to dig them for a bit now.

Other than that, I'm digging a *LOT* of local music from the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill North Carolina area. We've got a pretty incredible scene going on here - the musicians are pretty tight-knit and supportive of each other.

I'd say local music fills about 75% of my music player these days, and about 70% of what I know on the bass is local ;)
