G-Man: "Well, look who shows up..."

Our Lady Peace - "Starseed"

Mr. T

This week I dedicate my picks the the late Glenn Frey. We all have a band or artist that, impact our lives through their music and lyrics and Glenn, along with The Eagles are mine. In their History of The Eagles dvd, Glenn said, what's was cool is that people did things to The Eagles music, they took it with them.  This is true in my life. Whether on a road trip to the ski hill or a druken campfire singalong, all my favorite memories with my friends there has been an Eagles song in the background. I was fourtnate enough to go see The Eagles a few years ago now when they came to Ottawa, and what really stood out to me was although Glenn was a front man, there was always room at the front of the stage for others. (Joe Walsh).   Although I never met the man, I will greatly miss Glenn and his contributions to The Eagles and the world of music.

Against Me! - "Thrash Unreal"

Against Me! is one of my favourite bands. Always will be. Not only that but Laura Jane Grace has inspired me as a songwriter as well. The way she can fit words into the cadence of any song has always impressed me. Also how she can right a killer punk track like "Thrash Unreal" and then turn around and break your heart with a slow acoustic jam like "Cavalier Eternal" is a fantastic talent if you ask me. The 2 examples are below!
