Padre's Playlist

So my dad has been my biggest music influence. He introduced me to The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, of course.

But I ALSO thank him for introducing me to Peter Gabriel, The Talking Heads, Psychedelic Furs, John Hiatt, David Bowie, etc...

Because of his influence, I have decided to make him playlists of new (with a few recent classics in there) to keep him with the times; a sort of "return the favor" kind of thing. I make these about once every couple of months, and I must say they have quite an affect. For instance, he is dying to see The Killers live (this coming from a man who has seen The Who, Peter Gabriel, Jethro Tull, etc. live), and thinks Knights of Cydonia live is one colossal piece of musical bliss. So here I continue my brainwashing...and I also bring it to you.

I'm sure most of you have heard of these, but if not, I highly recommend having a listen. (May I also say that I took the time to put these in just the right order. It's a must.)

Okay, so old news. But it's worth posting.

The '59 Sound -The Gaslight Anthem





So there's obviously much Bruce influence here (oh how well this transitions from my last entry...), but that's not a bad thing. Bruce with a newer twist.
And the more and more I hear this song, and the more and more I listen to this album...the more I want to rock out.

These guys have major potential. Mark my words here, people! Mark them. Right now.

They are coming to Detroit this Spring and, not gonna lie,...I think I'm going.
