Four+One Productions

Sometimes, you just need to hear something that is going to make your foot tap, your blood flow, make you pretend to play the drums no matter your lack of actual experience in the endeavor. This weekend, with the sunshine and warmth presumably dwindling, seems like a perfect time to get out and go for it.

I’ve got three songs to get to get you geared up to go big, because it’s time to rock.

To start, we’ve got Busted by The Black Keys, off their album The Big Come Up. I got into this cd right around the time I was attending the Santa Barbara Film Festival with Niel back in 2007.

We stayed at the Sandman Inn (room 340) and this cd was rockin’ from our dvd player through the tv the whole weekend (no one ever accused either of us of being on the cutting edge of music listening technology.)

Second, we’ve got a song from Gang of Four, Damaged Goods is off their album Entertainment!.  It just rocks.

And to round it out, I decided against including a Led Zeppelin song mostly because everyone knows them so well. Instead, I chose an equally well known artist who also rocks. I can’t say my methods are always consistent or logical. But I love this song, Suffragette City by David Bowie, and Colbert included a reference to it in a bit the other night. So maybe that’s why it is on my mind.
