This thing (the site) has been going on a while, and I have yet to talk about the woman who sings my favorite song of all time. Anne Lenner was a female singer around the 1930's who did a lot of jazz and big band stuff in her time. Her song There Isn't Any Limit To My Love just has so much heart and soul in it. Musicians lack the heart and passion as they did back in the 1930's. There have been many versions of this song, but I believe Anne Lenner's version is the best. The melodic piano intro, along with Anne's beautiful singing voice, really lifts my spirits every single time I hear it. Seriously, I could listen to it a million times, and I would not get sick of that song. Personally, it is the perfect song to listen to while driving in the rain. Anyway, the link for the song is listed below.

NEW Pinback:Information Retrieved!!!
Follow @Uhh_yup
Well, after five long years, Pinback is back with a whole new album, Information Retrieved. Pinback consists of band members Rob Crow and Zach (ABSIV) Smith, both of which I talk about all the time on this site because they are constantly keeping busy with not just Pinback but other side projects as well. This band is so great because these two people are so different, yet they are able to make some of the best music that is released today. Rob's vocals and unusually catchy guitar arpeggios are always cryptic, yet very clear.. Zach is by far the best bass player out there. I see this band live at least twice a year, and seeing Zach play is amazing. What most people would need two bass players to do, Zach can do without breaking a sweat. Listen to Glide for an example. Being a San Diego native, just like Rob and Zach, listening to Pinback makes me feel like I am at home. With songs like Proceed to Memory, Drawstring, Glide, Sherman, and True North, it is an excellent way to start the fall season.

Bill Evans Trio
Follow @Uhh_yup
If you're a jazz fan at all, then you've probably heard of Bill Evans Trio. Arguably one of the best jazz bands of all time. Bill Evans Trio was created by Bill Evans, Scott Lafaro, and Paul Motian. The trio only released three records. Their album, Sunday At the Village Vanguard has been called one of the greatest jazz recordings of all time. A week after recording Sunday At the Village Vanguard, Scott LaFaro died in a car accident, and the band disassembled, leaving both Evans and Motian to continue with other projects. Please give this magic piece a listen.
