Still reeling from Saturday night's Raging Fire reunion at Exit/In. So many memories stirred, the band sounded so good, and the songs were still as awesome as always. My (perhaps) unique perspective. I was a huge fan of the Nashville music scene in the mid to late 1980s, but just a fan and mostly at a distance. I only made it to Nashville on the rare occasion I could round up people to go with me. I was lucky enough to see some of the great bands of that era, but I didn't know anybody.
That being said, the music was important to me, and WRVU and The Metro and later Fireplace Whiskey Journal were my lifelines. So, it was a pretty cool experience to be at this show and to actually know some of the people involved. And speaking of WRVU, when Adam Dread fist bumped me during the Raging Fire set... my eighteen/nineteen year old self suddenly felt very cool.
And to be redundant, Raging Fire absolutely killed it. Melora Zaner is still one of the best and sexiest rock vocalist around, Mark Medley kept the whole thing in perfect time, bassists John Reed, Les Shields (and the other one I didn't know) were awesome. The very large shoes of the late Michael Godsey were filled by not one but two of the scenes very best - Joe Blanton (The Enemy, Royal Court of China, The Bluefields) and Jeff Cease (Rumble Circus, Black Crowes). They were perfect for the role, having known Michael and having been present...

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - Ill Communication Mix
"Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music." - Leonard Cohen
And we go Marching on into a new month. I loaded my first songs of the new month last night, and thus have a brand new playlist from which to shuffle. Shall we?
Riceboy Sleeps is the title of an album by Jonsi (Sigur Ros) and Alex Somers. It is also the title of this soundcloud discovery dedicated to the pair. Riceboy Sleeps, the song, is by Jonas Obermuller, a young German composer and sound designer. You can check it out and download by using the player below:

It's on the intriguing 2011 Leonard Cohen tribute album which you can check out by clicking the pic-link below:
