Twitter Drives my Pandora

Yesterday GCD commented about it being a Black Keys day. So I dialed up a Black Keys station and made it two songs. Fortunately Resultsboy made a comment about dubstep that elicited a pretty funny comment from some old long in the tooth wicked hip bike racer, and revealed more about resultsboy than I'm sure he wanted anyone to realize.

Anyway. A dubstep station kept me going yesterday.

One thing I'm learning, what ever station/music GCD is listening too is one I don't generally want to hear at work. He listens to old man white bread stuff. Bob Seger, Rockabilly, The Black Keys are three stations I have [not yet deleted] created out of his tweets. Not bad music just not what I'm digging.

Myerson mentioned The Smiths Radio and I hit that and it's good. Works for the occasional change of pace from Daft Punk, Deadmau5, The Mighty Mighty Bostones, The Young Dubliners, The Dropkick Murphys, and KEEN Beats (mostly a Gorillaz station).

Now on my station list is another genera that I hit occasionally. Hound Dog Taylor. So when old man [anti-winter] Solobreak put up a link to a kick ass (totally kick ass) recording and song from John Lee Hooker I knew what the theme for today at the office was going to be. Start a new JLH station and then add some variety!

I was singing the blues at the top of my lungs in the house getting the recycling out this morning. And with luck I won't be alone tomorrow, cause if I am the birds are going to be hearing a couple good blues improve verses.

Dog came over when I paused for a second and either wanted a pet to keep me from singing anymore or to say thanks for the killer blues melodies.
