Loving Cup

Hey Folks....I'm a music nut. I listen to anything and everything. I collect live music like a fiend.

One of my favorite hobbies is taping bands in concert. I have a full recording setup, that allows me to capture what the audience hears at a concert.

-Here's a link to my DAT/CDR/SHN/FLAC list.

I've also converted all my CD's to MP3 and have picked up a number from ITunes. Here is a winamp generated playlist of all the tunes on my music server in the basement. Eventually I hope to get a Slim Devices Squeezebox so I can listen to all my tunes through my home stereo without having to physically be at the computer to play a song. I would love to have a number of Squeezeboxes around the house so I could listen to different music in different rooms. Unfortunately, as of right now, I can't even afford even one unit.

I'm in the process of putting all my live music CDR's into FLAC format so I can search for a specific song by a specific artist, and I will be able to find the song and show where this song was played.

One of my favorite all time bands is Phish. Yes, that hippy-esque band that jams on forever. I've been listening to them since the summer of 1990 and seeing them in concert since Nov. 11th 1991. On average I go see them at least once a year...often more. You could say I'm an Aphishianado :-)

*news* 4/13/04 It seems Phish has released their tourdates for summer. It sucks that they're not going to be coming farther west than Deer Creek :-( I might be able to go with Joel to see those shows though......

I also get into classic rock and its related incarnations. Check out this TOP 1000 Classic Rock Playlist

I'm the man on the mountain, come on up.
I'm the plowman in the valley with a face full of mud.
Yes, I'm fumbling and I know my car don't start.
Yes, I'm stumbling and I know I play a bad guitar.
Give me little drink from your loving cup.
Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.
I'm the man who walks the hillside in the sweet summer sun.
I'm the man that brings you roses when you ain't got none.
Well I can run and jump and fish, but I won't fight
You if you want to push and pull with me all night.
Give me little drink from you loving cup.
Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.
I feel so humble with you tonight,
Just sitting in front of the fire.
See your face dancing in the flame,
Feel your mouth kissing me again,
What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz,
What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.
Oh, what a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.
Yes, I am nitty gritty and my shirt's all torn,
But I would love to spill the beans with you till dawn.
Give me little drink from you loving cup.
Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.
