Sweet fancy Moses, this song rocks my face off. i totally love it. I have a live version of this on a cd from an old radio station in Kansas City (97.3 the Planet, which was awesome.) Sterophonics recorded it live in the Planet's studio one time, and it made it onto a "mix cd" that the station put out of live music from their studio.

I also really enjoy their song, "Dakota." Which means I need to check out more of their stuff, because I would probably love it.

I was thinking of this song because I was making a mix cd for a friend two nights ago, and re-stumbled upon the live recording...and realized I really dig the song. So it has been in my head ever since. The live version is just as great. Man...I love it when bands actually sound good live.

Hm. Maybe I should make Mix Cds for a bunch of friends made of nothing but great live songs from my music library. That might be fun.

p.s. ...I miss having money (and time, etc?) to go to concerts. Its been....wow....well over at least two years since I've seen any real live music (I don't count RTS students playing at school or in a coffee house as a real concert.)

One of my favorite concert memories was seeing Low Millions play (FOR FREE!!!) in the KC, I think at the Beaumont Club. Hm. Wow. It was the summer of 2005. Kate was leaving soon to move back to A-rack-a-nuh-sas. I heard about the free concert on the radio and picked up (free) tickets. And then I kidnapped Kate and Kat and told them we were going someplace fun. And then we roll up to the venue and get free burritos and then a free concert. So fun. We had a great time that night. We drank (I'm pretty sure Kat and Kate bought me Coronas...heh....).... and semi-danced to the music. And I kept getting cold, so Katherine and I switched my shorts for her jeans. But then she made me switch back. And they put on a great show. The band was skanky (yes, men can be skanky) and drank a LOT (A LOT!) of tequila on stage...but ...the show was so much fun. There really were probably no more than 100 people there...at most. It was kinda like a private little show. And I had their album so I knew all the songs, which makes concerts 50x better, imo, when you can sing/follow along, at least in your head. Yeah. It was just a great memory. I associate it so much with being with my girls and having a great evening with them. I miss them.
