I'm not normally one to talk about music, being that I spent the better part of the last 5 or so years not listening to music voluntarily, but I've been getting back into it recently.

One artist/band that has helped me get back into music is Michael Franti and Spearhead. [info]gunn once told me how much Bob Marley helped her, and while I'm not typically a big reggae fan, Michael Franti does offer some nice grooves (it helps that Sly and Robbie are in Spearhead, who seem to be considered in the top 10 greatest reggae artists of all time).

A few songs to take a look at by Michael Franti and/or Spearhead:
Hello Bonjour
East to the West
Bomb the World
Light Up Ya Lighter

A huge thank you to K for turning me onto such a great group of artists.


If you feel like something a bit more funky, Greazy Meal is also awesome, and from Minneapolis.

Update:
I've got too much Franti/Spearhead. Love Me Unique is also quite good.

Um. That's odd. Bob Marley. Did I say that?

Specifically, "No Woman No Cry".

I have a good memory.

That's not to say that you don't, but I remember little things said off-handed years later.

You had one of the original iMacs at the time.

Really? I have no memories associated with No Woman No Cry.

Do you remember any of our (relatively limited) antics, or is this similar to a reversed situation you posted about on August 27th, 2007? I suspect a variant of the latter, as I seem to remember far more about late spring/early summer 2000 than others I've talked with (including you).

Then again, maybe I'm hallucinating my own history. :/

No! I remember a short time of staying up way too late and talking a ton a ton a ton, but I just don't remember Bob Marley.
