You are still one of my favorite Rant posters so post more.

I'm sure now that it is football season I'll be picking it up a bit more.

In terms of music, I like a lot of hippie music, phish is my favorite and while I enjoy a lot of the other bands in the current'jam scene I don't follow / love them as much as I do phish although I really like Gov't Mule and most anything Warren Haynes does.

For the old hippie music, I do like grateful dead but mainly because they have phenomenal songwriting - I just prefer my music to have a little more teeth (see JRAD for my favorite rendition of Dead songs and one of my favorite bands playing right now). Hendrix, Zeppelin, ABB, The Band, Beatles etc. are all some of my favorites. I like old progressive stuff a lot too like Pink Floyd, Talking Heads and Velvet Underground.

Pretty much if it isn't that horrible country stuff (I like Jason Isbell and some of that kind of stuff, but not super in to it) or horrible hip hop / rap i can dig it. Don't listen to a lot of rap but there are some artists that i definitely respect.
