Lets get all the hippest, newest artists in taxis all over the world and record them. Why? It doesn't matter, but cool? Cool. My friend Paul Gonzalez (whose music you should check out)showed me Black Cab Sessions and I'm into it. And I'm into Fleet Foxes (who are from Seattle). And I'm into taxis. So if you add it all up it equals a win, win...win.
It took me a while to recognize the local scene in Utah but its pretty impressive. True story. Joe Castor released his solo album at the end of 2008. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. And love Joe.
How about my favorite dancer in the world, Thom Yorke? Grammy’s, Radiohead and USC's marching band. Can never get enough of this band and In Rainbows, which of course was nominated for 5 awards. Radio in la Cabeza maybe probably my favorite band ever.
Saw Ben Kweller on Friday. That’s a man I will never get tired of. I think I love him. Love all his albums, including his new one (Changing Horses), love him even more live, and I just love him. With all his popularity he has avoided the pretension and musical snobbery that most artists can’t help but adopt. Seriously love this man.
