Music Trio Numero Seis: Voodoo, Black Keys, Volunteers.
Long time no post; this week should be different. Working on a couple big essays right now.
Godsmack is rather one-note for a band, but they do that note well; Voodoo is one of my all time favorite songs, and I like it more and more every time I hear it. The Black Keys are a modern blues duo from Akron that have a terrifically unique sound; Stack Shot Billy is the first song of theirs that I ever heard, and it remains my favorite to this day. Jefferson Airplane’s Volunteers Of America is one of the many great songs to emerge from the Vietnam era, and I must admit to being remiss over the lack of similar song structure and tempo in most of today’s music; at just over 2 minutes its long enough to get the idea across but short enough to leave you craving more. I tend to listen to it on repeat.
