I can’t claim this as an original idea. One of my favourite political blogs (Daily Kos) has been posting great music vids late at night for years (although not lately because the American elections are at fever pitch and it is a political site after all).
So anyway, a great idea is a great idea and I thought it’d be fun to see if anyone liked a RealSurf version.
I like heaps of different kinds of music (most kinds, truth be told) and I really didn’t have any idea where to start. Stormy Monday was on the wireless though and they were playing a lot of Dylan, so, one thing and another, you know how it is, I happened to recall that Mr. D had recently played DJ on a satellite radio station. One google search later, and I had some of his playlists to inspire me.
His weather theme show playlist seemed like a logical start for a surfin’ site.
First tune outta the gates was Blues legend, the great Muddy Waters playing Blow Wind Blow…

Okay, still in a bluesy mood, I veer away from the list when I see a clip with Muddy, the astounding Mike Bloomfield and harp player extraordinaire Junior Wells playing Long Distance Call

Back to Mr Dylan’s list and the greatest guitar player who ever lived, Mr Jimi Hendrix and The Wind Cries Mary

And now for something completely different, number 8 on Mr Dylan’s list, Frank Sinatra and a high-gloss studio version of Summer Wind. Say what you like, the cat could sing like no other.
