..a great way to spend a Sunday.

"I think in the old days they would've called this selling out, but you know I think its a great way to spend a Sunday," Robert Plant said after winning his third Grammy tonight.  He received them for his brilliant work with Allison Krauss on their album Raisin Sand.  

Although I saw many things that confused  (Stevie Wonder performing with the Jonas Brothers), and excited me (BB King, Buddy Guy and John Mayer saluting Bo Diddley); seeing this album win three major awards gave me a renewed feeling about America's taste.  The fact that such a drastically retro sounding album could emerge victorious among contemporaries is refreshing.  Although I don't condemn their competition (Coldplay, Radiohead etc.) it is nice to see the oldie but goody take the gold home.  

So Congratulations Mr. Plant and Ms. Krauss.

Song of the Week: I Wish.

So in my absence from this blog (which will be less frequent), I have been listening to many different songs from many different artists.  From Bob Marley to Bill Withers, I have enjoyed some good stuff.  

This week I bring you a great track, from one of the best.  "I Wish" comes from 1976's Songs in the Key of Life.  It has such great momentum in it.  That's one of the biggest aspects that Stevie brings to his music, momentum.  The bass kicks it off and from it and ensemble of keys, horns, and blaring, irreplaceable vocals.  Hope you enjoy.
