This may sound a little cheesy, but when I'm driving and need to STAY AWAKE, I listen to the Beatles. I know all the words and sing along, so that keeps my brain from going completely to mush. That isn't a specific record, but how can you choose just one of theirs?
Good gravy, this is a hard one! First of all, from what I can tell, Garageland, you know every band. But my vote would be Grand Champeen. Download some of their stuff for free here: www.grandchampeen.com/03mp3.html For all I know, everyone on this board has heard of them, but I hadn't until about four months ago.
^^ Nothing wrong with that at all. I'm more of a Stones fanatic but I can see where The Beatles would make anyone happy. I do alot of late night drives (some may say not so well just ask my wife) and I'm always curious as to what people absolutly have to have to make those all nighters.

And thanks for the congrats.
Not even close. I listen to alot of music. But I always have. Because of living in a half a million different cities and I worked at a record store for over 10 years , because of those and a very liberal taping/burning policy (at the record shops) I have acquired enough to keep me busy for years to come. But I haven't heard everything, not by a longshot.
For example. NEVER heard of Grand Champeen. I'm doing so now. Me likey.

How old were you when you fell in love with music?
I can't remember a time when music wasn't a huge part of my life. My father played the guitar, mandolin, and banjo around the house and at the time, I felt I suffered because of it. Now, though, those of are some of my best childhood memories. He also had a record player where he would play Dylan, Cash, and other singer/songwriters. Again, at the time, I hated it. Now I draw on those memories almost every day. I sang in my church's children's choir. I began playing an instrument around 7 yrs. old and messed around on different ones throughout elementary, junior high, high school and college. I received a guitar for Christmas one year and still can't play it. DAMN IT! I can play all sorts of other useless instruments though.
Geez. I was in third grade and went with my church youth group to see Amy Grant. My first unchaperoned show was John Mellencamp my freshman year of high school with my first boyfriend. Comical.
Impossible. I have two children. I have insane, unexplainable love for them both. I guess I never knew what unconditional love was until I became a mother.
Bloomington has a unique, eclectic soul and huge, happy heart because of the atmosphere the university creates. I like our friendly, common sense locals, the ever-changing student body, our size, location, economy, cost of living, climate, cultural scene (music, food, art) and outdoor recreation opportunities.
Yup. In 2003 my youngest brother entered and won a contest sponsored by the Tibetan Cultural Center with the theme "Let Peace Begin With Me: I Can Make a Difference." As a prize, we were invited (he was required to have an adult chaperone and he chose me) to the Chamtse Ling Temple dedication. He got a private audience with both the Dalai Lama and Muhammad Ali. I was able to attend the larger, invitation-only session, with about 2,000 people in attendance. The Dalai Lama is coming back to Bloomington in May 2010 (in addition to the Tibetan Cultural Center, his brother and other family members live in Bloomington) and I plan to go to that as well. The Dalai Lama exudes a happiness and peacefulness (and has a great sense of humor) that I've never witnessed in anyone else. Totally amazing.
Seriously, if you haven’t read this book, you must do so. It’s a collection of three novellas and each is fantastic in its own way. Plus the last one, “Legends of the Fall,” is way better (and different) than the movie.
I’m reading Harrison’s “Dalva” now. Also very good.
Hmm…I guess. Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, Muhammad and Laila Ali, Dick Enberg, John Mellencamp and Elaine Irwin Mellencamp, Bobby Knight, members of Rusted Root, JJ Grey (does he count?), and Langhorne Slim (again, does he count?). That’s all I can recall off the top of my head, but I think there are more.

Of course JJ and Langhorne count. They're musical gods in their own right. I def think more of JJ and Langhorne than I do of Mellencamp. At least, they're not assholes

I love the filter on this board. Richard Enberg is changed to Smurf Enberg. How funny you can't say d.i.c.k. on a Bonnaroo message board. We're keeping it clean...

Yeah-just ask jj and he'll tell ya what a god he is. TOTAL bunghole. Heard him on one occasion introduce a song, "This is the best song I ever wrote". Classy move to change the name of your band from Mofro to JJ Grey and Mofro once you achieve moderate success. Also, found him to be a total d-bag, during a convo after a different show.
Back to the thread topic... favorite instrument to hear a solo from ?
Laughing Planet Cafe/Soma Coffeehouse & Juice Bar A funked-out coffee joint in the basement; an awesome burrito joint up top whose food is made with local, organic produce. If you don't like garlic, stay away!
Do you play an instrument(s)? (2000 posts! WOOT-WOOT) ;D
Congratulations, bigjohn!
Yup, I play an instrument…or should say I *used* to be able to play. I no longer practice, so I’m definitely rusty. Trumpet and baritone horn are my two best; clarinet, upright bass and piano I play poorly. I have a guitar that I desperately want to be able to play, but I just can’t seem to get it. I want to be Grace Potter when I grow up.
I gotta follow up... what was Peyton Manning like?
He was very nice and polite. I was a senior in college and doing an internship at the IU Athletics Dept. During halftime, many of the VIPS go into the basement of Assembly Hall to relax. During one game, I was settling up some things in the ticket office (located in the basement). As I stood to walk into my supervisor's office, there stood Peyton, Marvin Harrison, and two other Colts players. I had stars in my eyes and *had* to say something to them. I stammered a ridiculous introduction and shook their hands and asked them if they were having fun. Blah, blah, blah. I was the only one in the office who spoke to them and I was on cloud nine the rest of the night. He's my 6-foot-5, 230-pound quarterback with a laser rocket arm. I'm still in love.
Gary, Ind. is an awful place. I travel there once a year for business (we have a regional campus located there) and I never spend the night. I'll drive to Merrillville or Valporaiso before looking back. If you stand outside the alumni relations office on the sidewalk, you can see a rundown strip club painted pink called...you guessed it "The Pink P.u.s.s.y." Classy.
What are the best and worst parts about being a mom?
An incredibly hard question to answer.
BEST Unconditional love (both giving and receiving). You will never experience that level of commitment and adoration with another human.
I also dig getting to be a little kid all over again...
WORST The fear that I might lose them somehow (accident, sickness, etc.). I don't think I could mentally or physically handle the grief. I literally can't imagine my life without them.
They go everywhere with me...even work dinners and receptions. They are little socialites.

Bloomington is a great place to raise a family. Having two daughters myself I see that this town makes for a great place to provide them with an eclectic caring culture and a wonderful Girls Inc........and we have roller derby...and thumbs being a Bloomington Girl...they are the best..I even married one.
just ask my wife) and I'm always curious as to what people absolutly have to have to make those all nighters.
;D
