... I get mighty happy about carrying my Ipod and mini speaker set.
Being in a 'middle of no where' town and just discovering that beyond the two cafes, library, general store, police station, and surprisingly, out of place art gallery, there was a lovely hole in the wall bar; with an even lovelier pool table! Just the thing to do when the heat makes me a little stir crazy and distance between one person in this tiny town is high compared to my once 1,200 populated high school.
Settling into the excitement of seeing a juke box with classics I could work with, I was disappointed to find that the thing was broken. Feeling a little downtrodden, I remembered my Ipod and mini speakers I had with me. Really... life just seems so bland without music around at times!
Creating a setting for a great pool game experience can be quite challenging at times. There's nothing that bothers me more than when I hear someone put on completely unsuitable music when playing pool. No offense to Britney Spears, but I'd rather be listening to a classic Led Zeppelin tune like "That's the way" when shooting for the kill with pool.
I ended up creating an awesome vibe with the grungy, backwater, bluesy sound of The Black Keys. I set myself up for a great shuffle mix between there many albums (Attack & Release, The Big Come Up, Brothers, Chulahoma, LenArt, The Moan, Your Touch...etc.). I highly recommend all and any of The Black Keys albums. They really seem to bring back a bluesy rock sound that is so refreshing to hear! Yes people! Blues is still alive and kicking! I also feel the need to make a point of recognition from The Raconteurs (also known as The Saboteurs from the Aussie side of things) with specifically their song "Blue Veins" off of their Broken Boy Soldiers album. It's amazing to see such a backbone for today's structured music begin to be widely recognized again. It brings a tear to my eye and a deep movement to the dusty corners of my soul. "Le sigh..."
It seemed to do just the trick. Hot day. Gin & Tonic. Beating the boyfriend at pool... okay maybe not so much with the win with pool (lost best out of 5; I was down only 1 though!) I guess The Black Keys get me a little cocky with the playful banter. I ended up serving the win up for him on a platter. Go figure.
I guess it's just the way it goes with pool sometimes...
the sound of love,
Attie
