Friday Fun: Bruddah Iz Gets Belated Buzz -- In last week's Friday Fun piece, I mentioned a few movies of the last year that I liked. In another media, my iPod/iTunes combo has had an significant impact on my listening habits. The linked Wired.com article is about a Hawaiian artist whose posthumous success is partially attributable to my browsing in the iTunes music store.
As an aging Boomer, that browsing has also resulted in finding some current bands that feel comfortable to these old ears. I highly recommend Modest Mouse for quirky energy (any song named for drunk poet Bukowski and referring to God as a control freak certainly qualifies for quirk) and the new Wilco disc for something that sounds to me like a blend of Brian Wilson/Pet Sounds alienation and melodies, John Lennonish vocals, punctuated by Neil Youngish noise guitar...some great moments of guitar rock.
