Hugh_Lebowski's JournalRaining in the East PHX Valley again tonight ... thought the recent rains might be over but nope
Ever since I posted my joyful 'Rain' by the Cult video 3 weeks ago, after a LONG dry spell, it's been raining off and on down here (like normal monsoons for the first time in 6 or 7 summers), and temps have been reasonable every day (topping out around 100F), and it's sure been nice.
Pretty sure my video had something to do with it
mavis staples, gregg allman, bonnie raitt, joan osborne, micheal mcdonald - the weight (live-2014)
also ... eric church, emmylou harris, win butler (arcade fire), jeff tweedy (wilco), patty griffin, keb mo ... and others ...
sorry you have to visit the link to get to the video ... but it's worth it.

patty griffin - go wherever you wanna go (live-2013) because this amazing artist doesn't get her due
more people should know of Patty cause she's dope y'all.
as an aside, this song makes me cry ... thinking of my pops I lost awhile back. such a beautiful track.
You get an idea of her influence from her Wiki:
zz top - i'm bad, i'm nationwide (studio-1979) continuing my dusty wake today
Bonus track:
vetiver - to who knows where (2019) some SF-based folk, the nick drake hangs heavy over it
but that's rarely a bad thing
placebo - nancy boy (studio - 1997) serious boundary-pushing androgyny for 1997
Been refreshing my mind on their catalog as it's been awhile since I heard this stuff, and these guys are really pretty badass ...
This is a smoking-good cover of this classic
LEON - surround me (studio-2017) if this classy, sexy come-on doesn't get you in a good mood ...
Then, well ... I hope it's not permanent , cause, something is maybe not be quite right at this moment
This song has a total INXS - Not Enough Time vibe to it ... a song I of course
So, this shirt I ordered on Amazon ... as a guitar nerd I love it, but ...
So the idea here is there's a lot of types of guitars, and they have distinctive sounds as any guitarist knows ... but then after I got it I started wondering if maybe it's ... I dunno ... somehow flippant/insensitive?
It's not this exact one but it's much like it ... what do you guys think?
