Well its Halloween but my plans are ruined its like 30 degrees out and its been raining non-stop all day. Second year in the row weather has sucked and stopped my Treat findings.

that sucks. frat party tonight! unfortunately, its byob. and i sound like an alcoholic now.

I'm not going out for Helloween, I just stay home and listen to some tunes.

I'm going to Mayall.

See ya :)

By the way, just downloaded:

The Byrds - The Notorious Byrd Brothers
The Hollies - Evolution
Walter Trout - s/t

I have yet to listen to them but I expect good things.

Also, thanks for the Jazz Is Dead jpj :)

Because of the fact that Halloween is on a Monday (laaaame), I went to costume parties on Friday and Saturday, so my Halloween has passed.

NP: Iggy Pop - The Passenger (I would argue to the death that Iggy's first two solo albums are among the most underrated albums ever)

Have fun seeing John Mayall.

[QUOTE=lux~interior]monica is a badass song, im not sure what album its on[/QUOTE]
Monica is on [I]The Village Green Preservation Society[/I] album. I have around 6 or 7 Kinks albums altogether, and most of them are near perfect albums. They have a great way of incorporating wit and intelligence within their music. I'm just pissed they didn't get to go to Woodstock.

Does anybody have any good Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers albums? I only have the greatest hits and i'm looking to add some...

I have quite a few good Tom Petty albums.

[QUOTE=Livewired]I'm pretty horrible at harmonica. I can play "Heart of Gold' and "Out on the Weekend" but thats practicaly it. All I have is a C Harmonica, i want a bluesier one next, I heard A is the way to go but I dont know.[/QUOTE]

Keep in mind you can play the blues in A with your C harmonica...if my theory is correct. The notes in the C major scale are C D E F G A B C, and the notes in the A minor pentatonic (minor pent is the bluesy one, I'm pretty sure you play guitar so it's probably old news) are A C D E G A. Which means if you are accurate enough you could glide through those A blues licks with ease using your C harmonica. Plus if you can bend notes, you can bend the D up and make it extremely bluesy sounding!!!

Now, if you got a harmonica in A, your notes would be A B C# D E F# G# A...which would make it more difficult to play the blues, because it no longer has the correct notes for the A minor pentatonic.

If my theory is incorrect, someone speak up now, before people start thinking I know what I'm talking about.

Since my classic rock radio station has been replaced by an extremely lesser form of radio...I've been listening to my local community radio station a lot more. It plays absolutely everything, a lot of jazz, classical, cultural stuff, and at night they have local bands....it's mostly indie and experimental rock (or a mix of both) and it's freakin' amazing. Trippiest stuff ever.

edit- Ohh, did you mean you wanted people to mail the jazz albums to, or people to help in uploading and sending and stuff? I don't own any jazz albums, I just listen to it on the radio (like I said). Sorry for the possible mixup.

Heh, that's one sweet suit.

Whoever sent out the Yes album did a good write up :thumb:

Harmonica is tougher than I thought, or maybe I just have a cheap one?

NP: Cream - I'm So Glad

harmonica would be absolutely amazing to learn. some blues songs i can recall having one are great. im thinking of Zeppelin's "You Shook Me" and "When The Levee Breaks". Even some J. Geils Band has some stellar harmonica in it.

Time for a new avatar now that Halloweens over.

This is just basically spam because I wanted my 2000 post in the thread that I go to the most.

Yay, 2,000 posts.

I love that song, especially the chorus: "I sing a la, la, la, la, la la la la la...."..I just think it's so cool.

Holy crap, that's impressive. I didn't know people here were so into Jazz.

Mayall was amazing as usual :)

He would play harmonica, guitar and keys. He would do some uber multi-task and play harmonica with one hand and keys with the other.

I ended up getting his new album "Road Dogs" with an autograph.

If you want to get the blusy sound you use a method called cross harp, like so:

If you play straight harp, you are playing harmonica in the same key as the song. If you have a song in G you play the harmonica in G.
If you want to play cross harp, you play the harmonica that is 5 steps higher than the key of the blues song you are playing. If the song is in G, than the harp would have to be a C harp.
If you play the cross-harp on the lower side of the harmonica and bend the notes when appropriate, it sounds bluesy

I really don't know much about theory, so I can say to play what sounds right
