I'm just liking the morphine -- not the rest though...

In a few people, morphine can cause dysphoria. I have never met anyone who suffers morphine dysphoria; everyone likes it.

@dukeorock get better; enjoy the morphine.

Last night was the first time in my career where I had to sub out my gig due to illness. Turns out it was legit because I’ve been in the ER all day and have to spend at least one full night here :/

I cannot like this. Heal up! Morphine scares the crap out of me.

I’ve always loved the bass lines from Mike Hogan of The Cranberries. Simple, warm and grooving are how I would describe. Bummer what happened to his band. Their last album came out last Fri. and it is full of more great grooves. Here is one. This song IMO has great space and energy.

XM in the car, Spotify in the home and office. Ain’t cheep. But Over the last five or six years I’ve been so much into music that My only other time sink is baseball, which I still love. I’ve been exposed to tons of new, and new to me music through those two resources.

I use XM on my phone too. I love that they play a lot of the oddball/lesser known songs by bands.
I've started to dislike Guns N Roses because at work I can just hear 3 different radio stations that are all rock and all 3 play Welcome To The Jungle, Paradise City, and Sweet Child O Mine..... EVERY DAY.... sometimes twice. But XM usually plays Out Ta Get Me or It's So Easy, even Nightrain all fantastic songs

The bands that I hear too much on XM are Scorpions and Dokken. Almost every single time I am driving they are on one of the stations I skim thru. I agree that the 3 G n'R songs you mentioned are overplayed on all radio. I appreciate it when they play some of the other songs from the debut.

Sorry to hear that Duke. Like everyone else, I wish you a speedy recovery.

Watched a good TV show the other day. Our public broadcaster, the ABC, has a series called The Recording Studio.

It is set up to be emotional but apart from that it was pretty cool. The episode I saw had two stories going.

One a Grandfather farmer that had played in a country band for 50 years but never recorded. His family all play together in a bluegrass band and arranged for them to record with him as part of the show. They recorded “Roll in my Sweet Babies Arms”. When I check who else had done it I saw “The Legendary Shack Shakers” - that’s @dukeorock isnt it ?

The other story was a girl with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) who recorded a song to thank the nurses etc that looked after her. Very good too.

A little bit about the show:
‘The Recording Studio’ to premiere on ABC TV this week

Yeah, was watching that thinking why doesn't someone tell them they can buy a stereo mic and software and make as many records as they want in that style.

Thanks, George! Very kind, as usual

That’s pretty cool! I want to say Flatt & Scruggs did that song first, but I’m on heavy duty painkillers

 

[mr zee]

I'll be picking this up this weekend. I'm gonna see if I can save it. If not, I'll reuse the parts and eventually try my hand at a Fenderbird down the road

I liked when the bloke brings in his special, old, mic especially for the family and they go through the whole thing, great take - ‘excellent everyone’ etc. then the engineer calls out... ‘actually didn’t get any of that’ . Do it all again.

Murphy’s Law in action.

Yeah 1951, but Buck Owens (1971) had the biggest hit with it. #2 in USA #1 in Canada Country charts.

I’m guessing the song was around for a long time before F&S recorded it.

Chevelle is also overplayed on XM.

I’m still on my free trial, but I’m definitely going to continue it!

Morphine without bone breaks? Wow... hoping for a quick and full recovery, Mark.

I had to shatter my right ankle to get morphine the one time in my life. I don't remember much after the IV went in... woke up three days later with a repaired ankle. 2 plates and 13 screws. It was a spectacular bike crash.

I bought a Lifetime Sirius subscription in 2004 for $500. I got a little worried when Sirius acquired XM that they wouldn't honor the Lifetime sub but to their credit, I held my breathe and they never contacted me and my Lifetime sub is still being honored. Currently under $3 a month and dropping every month!
