Wilco and Co.

I have made quite a few radio stations on Pandora.com, but I have to say the best one I've found is the Wilco radio station.

(For those of you who don't know what Pandora Radio is, it is "the personalized internet radio service that helps you find new music based on your old and current favorites." It basically plays music that it thinks you will like based on the radio stations you create. So, if you were to create a radio station for Pink Floyd, it would play Pink Floyd and music that is like Pink Floyd. It is quite awesome!)

Anyway, back to Wilco. First of all, I must admit that for some crazy reason, I just recently started to listening to Wilco (fueled by the Mermaid Avenue Cd's), and I wish I had been listening to them all of my life. Anyway, here is a list of the first 20 songs played on my Wilco radio station on Saturday while I was working on photos.

I loved each song, and if you don't know who some of these musicians are, then I suggest you find them, listen to them, and fall in love with them too!

To Jack White, With Love

Photo of Jack White in Cold Mountain (not by me)

I'm going to have the voice of Jack White ringing in my ears for days, months and years to come....A voice I could swim in.

Why this sudden infatuation with Jack White you ask? Well, I just finished watching the documentary It's Going to Get Loud. And I'm dumbfounded that I didn't realize his unique ability to pull you into....anything and everything!

My favorite scene in the documentary.

I own a few White Stripes albums and a Raconteurs album, and have always enjoyed them, but after watching that documentary, I have a new level of respect for (and maybe a little crush on) Jack White.

His pasty, white, guitar strumming, piano pounding hands have been into a little bit of everything, even producing the album Van Lear Rose for Loretta Lynn and acting in the movie Cold Mountain.

Here is the trailer to It Might Get Loud:


Watch it and then listen to everything Jack White has been a part of. I promise, no matter who you are, there will be something of his that brings a smile to your face.
