Welcome to my playlist

Just updated our blog with a new fangled playlist, and currently John has had zero input in the songs, but that may change in the future. Or, he may have to upload a dueling playlist and we may start taking votes on whose is better...recounts may occur, chads will be counted, voter fraud will be investigated, and I will win regardless. Behold the democracy of Syvia :P

Note: The songs are not supposed to be played in a specific order, nor is there any meaning behind their arrangement in the list. I am merely lazy and started to compile all my favorite tunes. I am not finished yet (even picking these songs were tough because I didn't know when to stop and just upload the damn player before I kept adding more).

Get Your Tom Waits On

NPR is now streaming a full 2 1/2 hour Tom Waits performance recorded July 5, 2008 at Atlanta's Fox Theater. I love me some Tom Waits. A true artist with vision and integrity. A Classic! Mr. Waits' humor is a treat as well. To promote his current tour aptly entitled Glitter And Doom he released a press conference vid (it's recommended to watch to the end) and an interview which, was conducted by none other than Tom Waits himself. Get your link on:

Tom Waits' True Confessions Interview

First Post With A/V

Hi There -

John here, this is my first post to the Syviamusic blog. It's very exciting I must tell you! I wanted to share a video with everyone. The vid is appropriately entitled "Bert & Ernie tries Gangsta-Rap." The song in the vid is from one of my fav Hip Hop artists of all time: M.O.P.

These dudes don't fuck around. When they say they are going to kill you, I really think they mean it. I saw them live once and it was like a punk / hardcore show. People were moshing and going nuts. Producer Extraordinaire, DJ Premier, was up front moshing along with everyone else. Shit was bonkers.

So here it is, Bert & Ernie doing "Ante Up" by M.O.P.:



How's the spelling and grammar Mirsky?
