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.

Lou Reed- I’m not actually a fan but, ya know, c’mon

Modest Mouse was very good.

 

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

[Demo 19,382]

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.
