If there's any single piece of music that has made me wish that I knew how to play the guitar, it's "The Fisherman" by Leo Kottke. As Mr. Kottke himself says, "This is about the mad fishermen of the North whose ice fishing spots resemble national shrines." Now, I have no idea what that actually means, but what I do know is that I've had the damn song on repeat for like 10 repetitions. And this comes just in time for me to have audioscrobbler working again.
I really enjoy the simplicity of just one guy playing a guitar. He makes complex sounds out of it, especially when he uses his 12-string, but there's something enjoyably natural and simple about the whole affair. Anything from his album "6 and 12 String Guitar" (that's the only complete album I have) is excellent, and I highly recommend giving it a listen if you ever have a chance.
Another something interesting to check out is group hug. Completely anonymous posts that get put out for the world to see. I've already posted something. What it is, we may never know.
OK, I'm going to collapse in a drunken stupor.
