I listen to a local radio show and by local I mean one from the state of Alabama. Reg's Coffee House, which airs on Sundays from 10-1 on 94.5fm is AWESOME. Alot of the music I blog about I hear on Reg's show. He has an impecable ear for music and has discovered quite a few stars. He is an advocate for the Record Store, a place where you can go buy your music in CD or Album form. Something that is being lost in this day and age of digital downloads. Now I will be the first to admit, I now get most of my music in digital form, but I still have to buy CD's of some of my favorite artists. This is a video Reg had on his weekly blog for the new Drykah Badu single "Honey". I think it is a great tribute to the Record Store.

Oh and for those who have seen "Empire Records", Damn the man, Save the Empire!!!!! If you haven't seen "Empire Records" it is a movie that came out about 10 years ago about these kids and there jobs/life at a record store. Pretty dang cool and quotable movie, with a really cool soundtrack! Also, it was one of Renee Zwelleger(sp) first movies.....Kinda like "Dazed and Confused was Matther McCounaghey(sp) first movie!

I love that movie! Great soundtrack.....I too love Reg. I have come to like Will Hoge due to Reg. The Black and White Paper up here in the "ham has a list of the songs he played on the most recent show.

Being the mother of two teenage "dorks" as your husbands now call you, I have wathed Empire Records and Dazed and Confused, way too many times. Your love of music is an inherited gift. Your dad's music collection is mind boggling to so many.

Your love of rocks is also a gift you got from him. It makes me wonder what gifts (if any) I can take credit for.
