Recommend that you now go listen to Alex Chilton and Bob Mould.

Those two are primary influences that taught Paul Westerberg how to be Paul Westerberg.

Absolutely. Chilton was so  great. Mould is on the Rushmore of Indie.

This conversation just prompted me to blast Flip Your Wig for a 40 minute car ride.

Bob Mould is a ******* guitar genius. And he’s kind of lived healthy so it’s a 30 year catalog of extraordinary stuff.

In fact, Bob Stinson is Mould’s drunken, died too young brother from another mother.

Mount Rushmore is top four:

Lou Reed/VU is one for sure.

Sonic Youth-Thurston/Kim.

I’m putting Pavement/Malkmus on there as a absolute.

You’ve got Mould/Husker Du as the fourth?

That’s bold.

Would die on that hill. Mould is an all-timer for me.

My Spotify algo took me down that path the other night. Not bad.

Bob Mould

Serious honorable mention to Ian Curtis. That guy

Modest Mouse was very good.

 

Been listening to Milky Chance this Summer. Some good jams.

[Demo 21,837]

Woke up in the foulest of moods. Then this dropped into my feed. Beautiful piece of music from a really wonderful movie. Better now.

3. Angriest album (song) ever: Mississippi Goddam - Nina Simone (18) Nina Simone: Mississippi Goddam - YouTube 

12. Favorite guitarist: (A very tough assignment to pick one of many.) Leo Koetke (18) Leo Kottke - Vaseline Machine Gun - YouTube

13. Favorite pianist/organist: My MIL Lucy (Johnson) Fritz, wrote the pep song for Earlham College, music teacher, organist for a church in Indy.  Entertained family and friends. Could play any classic or pre-60's song you named...only stumped her once with the Navy Hymn.

16. Favorite songwriter:  Another tough pick.  Bob Dylan!

19.  Single favorite album:  Woodstock - The Original Soundtrack; 

Since my taste in music has evolved and is evolving...I really like the last 5-year question.  

9. Favorite album of last 5 years: Kenny Wayne Sheperd (band) - Traveler.  Sounds like something out of Muscle Shoals (ie...screaming organ, guitars, horns, chorus...gritty blues, southern funky Americana, if that makes any sense from a classic rock perspective...)  I've got the blues; but I feel good.

Extra special props for your answer to question number three. That’s a microphone drop answer right there.

Maybe a bit, Allow me to sub the debut album by Blondshell. That kid is a bada$$ and I would have gone with it if I’d thought of it at the time. 

[Dave from Dayton 3,892]

I'm not through. Somewhere, somehow......Allman Brothers!

#17...lead male singer:  Robert Plant, guitarist and lead singer for Led Zepplin...way down inside, you need to agree.

#4 Most relaxing album:  Invitation to Openess..Les McCann...fell in love to this album.   I call it improvisational hashish jazz.

#7.  Funniest songwriter:  Shel Silverstein - Wrote children's poems like Where the Sidewalk Ends to make more $$ than writing songs.  Silverstein wrote: A Boy Named Sue; On the Cover of the Rolling Stones; One's On The Way...Loretta Lynn; The Taker...Waylon Jennings; Once More With Feeling...Jerry Lee Lewis; Queen of the Silver Dollar...Emmylou Harris; Sylvia's Mother; Lester Flatt's lead song in the album..Foggy Bottom Breakdown is February Snow written by Silverstein...and others covered by Bobby Bare too numerous to count. Silverstein wrote over 300 songs including:

Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout would not take the garbage out
She'd scour the pots and scrub the pans
Candy the yams and spice the hams
And though her daddy would scream and shout
She simply would not take the garbage out

And so, it piled up to the ceilings
Coffee grounds, potato peelings
Brown bananas, rotten peas, chunks of sour cottage cheese
That filled the can and covered the floor, cracked the window and blocked the door

With bacon rinds and chicken bones, drippy ins of ice cream cones
Prune pits, peach pits, orange peel
Gluppy glumps of cold oat meal, pizza crust and withered greens
And soggy beans and tangerines and crust of black burned buttered toast
And gristly bits of beefy roast

The garbage rolled on down the hall, it raised the roof, it broke the wall
I mean, greasy napkins, cookie crumbs
Globs of gooey bubble gums, cellophane from green baloney, rubbery blubbery macaroni, peanut butter, caked and dry
Curdled milk and crusts of pie, moldy melons, dried-up mustard, eggshells mixed with lemon custard
Cold french fries and rancid meat, yellow lumps of Cream of Wheat

At last the garbage reached so high that it finally touched the sky
And all the neighbors moved away
And none of her friends would come to play
And finally, Sarah Cynthia Stout said
"OK, I'll take the garbage out!"

But then, of course, it was too late
The garbage reached across the state
From New York to the Golden Gate
And there, in the garbage she did hate

Poor Sarah met an awful fate
That I cannot, right now relate
Because the hour is much too late
But children, remember Sarah Stout
And always take the garbage out
