Jukeboxes and Music

I went to a local bar a week or so ago by the name of Mickey Finn's Pub and it was just after it opened around 4pm and only one very cute woman bartender was working, a lithe maybe 21-year old-brunette, and the place was empty and I ordered a cup of bad coffee and requested some songs on the jukebox.

The thing I love about jukeboxes is you choose stuff you might never think to listen to. I picked a couple B.B. King songs, and they were so perfect and I'd never really listened to B.B. King before... Great stuff... At home I later downloaded "Troubles, Troubles, Troubles" "I Pity the Fool" and "We're Gonna Make It"... Using the file-sharing utility Soulseek. Great songs...

What I've been downloading..."Welcome to the Machine" by Pink Floyd, stuff by Tosca, Ani DiFranco ("I know this Bar" I know this bar...with a jukebox full of medicine... ), Leonard Cohen ("A Bunch of Lonesome Heroes," "The Future," "Everybody Knows") Richard Ashcroft ("Music is Power"), The Raconteurs, ("Steady as She Goes"), and several Red Hot Chili Peppers songs, including "Save the Population" and "Throw Away Your Television." Also a bunch of Norah Jones and Carlos Santana.

On CD I've been listening to R. Carlos Nakai's "Feather, Stone, and Light."
