this is the first time i heard ‘em.
her voice is wonderful but the way they rock is the bitchinest sound i heard in a long time!!!
i love ‘em!
you get that piano with 2 guitars, bass + drum and you can’t go wrong. i would bet a roosevelt dime that the piano player uses a hammond B3 on some songs, and i won’t be wrong. it’s tried and true and you won’t be blue. they probably got more than a few and don’t sniff glue. follow the rule and get behind the mule. i’m too cool for school and nobody’s fool but i’m a bit of a tool. don’t be cruel just burn us some fuel.

I’ve been listening to them on and off for the last year. They kept coming up on my Pandora station for the The Black Keys.

Amazing that she got such an old soul voice for being as young as she is (25 I think) and then bangs out the gritty chords like nobody’s muddy waters business.

Also have a listen to The Black Keys if you’re not familiar with them.

Oh.. I almost forgot. “follow the rule and get behind the mule” is awesome. I want that on a t-shirt. :-D

it’s tom waits’ album title.

alabama shakes and the black keys are the best thing i’ve heard in forever and 2 days!
i wish all the bands still played it like this.
when all the bands played like this i suppose we got tired of it but it was the bees knees.

Definitely the bee knees.. The best part about music is that there’s so many varieties and beknownst to the masses or not, each genre is still cranking out great tunes.

i tell people all the time i’m a writer, not a speller. alternately, i tell ‘em i can spell stuff until i have to type it.

i had to take a quiz in a required meeting today. 13 common grammar mistakes. i would have bet that i got 100%. i missed 3 of 13.

i DID know when to use whoever and whomever though.

so i got that going for me.

I flub something in an email at least once a week.

Oh well. This one made me smile which is the first time I had since I’d been at work that day. :-D

isn’t she upside down?

Yep.. Sometimes that’s how she rolls when watching the tube.

I know nothing of Minecraft, nothing. I do know MS tends to ruin original ideas.

After reading “I’m leaving Mojang” I have even more respect and sympathy for millions of original thinkers.

Well said.

This is also good… http://hueniverse.com/2014/09/13/thank-you/

MAN YOU CANNOT EVEN JOKE ABOUT THOSE EVIL MOTHERFUKCERS MAN!
THEY’RE THE ONES WHO ARE TRYING TO EXPLOIT THE YOUTH WITH MINECRAFT, MAN!
:)

stolen told me that Obama isn’t part of the shadowy Masons movement but I have my doubts.

ELLLNO! i got my stpaddy’sdaysox, my argyles, my goddam blue toes/blue heels, my stretchy whites with the vents, etc.

Got my Franken socks, my grey and red heavy wool, my icebreaker green and greys, my running pairs. So, no.

safer sox.
i also got “heat keepers” hunting socks that i use to sleep in. they were the ones that did the trick. i triedbseveral pair of less effective sox that are supposed to keep my feet warm but didn’t. i don’t know what happened to my “monkey socks”. Monkey socks are the kinds they made a monkey doll from long ago. They were the state issued pair @ the Iowa State Training School for Boys.
I was in Cottage Five. Cottage Five was for older kids and bigger kids. I weighed about 110 pounds. As you may surmise, I was one of the older kids.

It’s quite amazing how socks never come up in normal conversation for me but on the inside, everybody has their goto’s.

Another interesting note: I’ve never seen actually monkey socks in the wild. Only the tamed critters they made into dolls.
