Eric Clapton regarding Stevie Ray Vaughan's talent: "I was in my car when I first heard him and I remember thinking "I have to find out before the day is over who that guitar player is". And that doesn't happen to me very often that I get that way about listening to music. I mean I stopped the car, pulled over, listened and thought I've got to find out before the end of the day, not sooner or later, but I have to know now who that is. I remember being fascinated by the fact he never seemed lost in any way. He never took a breather or paused to think where he was going to go next, it just flowed out of him. And that doesn't come with virtuosity or practice, it's not a question of doing it over and over again; he just seemed like an open channel." Stevie Ray Vaughan - Pride and Joy (Live)

Two names my friend Jimi Hendrix and Rory Gallagher. I'm sure you've heard of the former, try listneing to the latter: http://www.youtube.com/ http://www.youtube.com/ Nobody can touch Rory's guitar rifts.He never really became famous in America, he was asked to play at Woodstock but didn't bother, things would have been different if he had. 3

I don't really have a favorite as my tastes are always evolving and I'm constantly checking out different parts of the musical world. However, some of the artists that have really caught my interest over the past few years include: Out Hud, Aesop Rock, Gogol Bordello, the Creatures, the Rah Brahs and Optimus Rhyme. Many others too. Well, none of them have really hit the mainstream in any substantive way. I'm not one of those hipster assholes who only listens to obscure bands, BUT...my tastes are far enough removed from the general public that the bands who make it big often fail to appeal to me while the bands that don't are sometimes doing what I admire (of course there are exceptions on both sides of the fence.) Out Hud- Mixed progressive rock instrumentation with cellos and electronic/dance elements. Mostly instrumentals, but their final album had some female vocals. Aesop Rock- Abstract hip hop MC. Much more complex and cerebral than any mainstream rappers that I've heard Gogol Bordello- the leaders of the Gypsy Punk movement. Far and away, one of the best live bands I've ever encountered. The Creatures- A side project of Siousxsie Sioux and Budgie from Siouxsie and the Banshees. A mixture of rock, tribal beats, and experimentalism. The Rah Bras- A pseudo-defunct trio that mixed up a wide range of styles in very short, weird bursts of sonic energy. Optimus Rhyme- Nerdy, articulate raps over funk-rock instrumentation. What can I say, I have bizarre tastes! 2
