Funny how things go...
Today was 105 and baking! So after work I come home to my hot as hell living room and...ride my execise bike for 30 minutes! Now I am sweating but I am back in the coldest room of the house. My wife keeps the back room at 68-degrees (not that it ever really gets there in the summer) and it is relatively cooler than any other room.
I am here of course to bring forth this weeks offering of iPod Monday.
1. Green Day - Hitchin' A Ride (one of the first songs I heard from this bands double platinum Nimrod CD. Time Of Your Life is an anthem for the ages. Love the American Idiot album!)
2. Peter Frampton - Do You Feel (Like We Do) - LIVE! (from one of the best selling albums of all time (Frampton Comes Alive) his best song.) It's a 14 minute concert staple so make some time later to enjoy it all.
3. Brian May - Driven By You (former Queen guitarist out on his own and jamming. Not many people I know have heard his solo music. Worth a listen.) Oh yeah...and how many rockers are astrophysicists! His history is rather fascinating so click the link if you don't know it.
4. Peter Gabriel - Digging In The Dirt (I absolutely love this song and listened to endlessly when it first came out. The ex-Genesis frontman created some amazing music on his own. Steam is one of my other favorites.) Guaranteed to be one of the weirder videos of its time.
5. Our Lady Peace - Clumsy (I like this song as much as their more famous Superman Is Dead. I still enjoy a good listen to their stuff from time to time.)
Bonus: Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life, Live) Excellent...will give you the chills...
Did ya learn something new? Any thoughts on any of these artists?

Frampton - pulling out some oldies!
We dropped to seventy-five! First time it's been that cool during the day in months.
I've always loved that Green Day song! And Peter Frampton! Whoa, that takes me waaaaay back to like junior high.
Alex: The shuffle knows no bounds when it comes to selecting music.
Nancy: Yeah it was after high school for me...sorry to say. Green Day is probably my favorite punk band.
I don't remember ever hearing any of Brian May's sols stuff. Maybe that's because I wasn't ever a big Queen fan either.
Peter Frampton live was amazing... I saw him twice and LOVED it both times.
Woah - deja vu moment here......!
Ah - Peter Frampton - conjures up summer holiday that were longer and warmer than of late.....
Green Day - memories of my kids and their teenage playlists, echoing around the house (and noisy enough to be heard through their closed bedroom doors!
New to me - Our Lady Peace.....!
I'm In!!!! Cool!!!! I have missed being able to find you. I've googled and searched other bloggers in hopes I'd find a clue as to how to get back to your blog. Now....with your help, I once again found you. I'm a happy camper. I will come back sometime today and catch up on your posts that I have missed.
AND I'm gonna make sure I get your url listed on my reader so that won't happen again.
Yippee Kai OH!!!!!
I saw Frampton way back in the day. Great show. The band was awesome.
