like crack for ears

If there were a way to inject music in vein, to make it hit the bloodstream any faster than it does by travelling thru the acoustic nerve, I swear I'd do it. I am a junkie for music.

Oh my God.

Pat Metheny - The way up
Prince - Black sweat
David Axelrod - The Edge/David McCallum
Digitonals - Snowflake vectors
Bonobo - Dismantling Frank
J. Steinkoler Quartet - the 8ball is neutral
One Be Lo - Deceptacons
Kano, Ghetto, Big Seac, Demon & Doctor - Get set
Ayatollah - The devil is sweet

Jeff "Tain" Watts - everything played at last Saturday's Jazz at Lincoln center's "Pittsburgh: from the heart of Steeltown" tribute concert
Mary Lou Williams - Mary's idea, as played at Jazz at Lincoln center's "Pittsburgh: from the heart of Steeltown" tribute concert (though Zodiac's suite remains my all-time favourite)
Strayhorn's "Raincheck" - STRICTLY as played at Jazz at Lincoln center's "Pittsburgh: from the heart of Steeltown" tribute concert, complete of a very a propos dedication by Artistic Director Wynton Marsalis: "to Chertoff", and all the players who are facilitating the post-Katrina reconstruction...
