No class on this board at all. Anybody remember the first time seeing Apocolypse Now? Ride of the Valkeries rocks for the initial psych up while driving or riding the mt bike to the rock.

For the climb, it's gotta be punk. Dwarves, Minor Threat, Descendants, Agnostic Front, The Cramps, DK, Sleater-Kinney. More technical climbs, Fatboy Slim, MC Solaar, Digable Planets, Massive Attack, or anything else that goes down smooth and has a good beat.

For the top, Pavarotti, Cowboy Junkies, Morphine, Robert Miles, Leonard Cohen, or anything that will take the edge off and let you enjoy the view.

All you snott noses were wetting yer selves when I was watching these guys transform music from the commatose state it had bogged down to. Most of this stuff was underground back in the 70's to early 80's so good luck finding any of it.

If you are into kickass tunes, turn yourself on to some of these bands. Drop me an email if you can't find something, I'll make you a tape. I've got over 200 rare L.A. and British imports on these big black plastic things called "records".

Today's music choices: 90's alternative. [so much better than 00's alternative Limp Toolkit, Crazyhouse, etc.].

Peppers, Nirvana, Pumpkins, Neil with Crazy Horse, Screaming Trees, flannel, jeans, unwashed hair, power chords.

I thoroughly enjoy going to the Post Office in Leavenworth and loading the juke box with every Elvis selection available, then experiencing the irritation of the local hicks as they unpatiently wait for their Bon Jovi song to come up.

Wow! Herbie Hancock rocks! Great show, diverse audience, and a level of musicianship worth staying up half the night to hear.

"Herby" is a little joke for the Muir hut patrons. Ever meet a musician who doesn't herb? Dru, he played a little bit of everything, including Rockit for the kids and boring modal piano improvs for the old guys who paid to hear just that (I was simultaneously satisfied and ...um...challenged as a listener). DJ disk did the scratchin', for those of you who missed it(is he somebody we should know about?).
