Last night's adventure was seeing Humbird with my friends Cheryl and Matt. My favourite song of their set (which was *all* good) was a reworking of Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie. Big Dipper was a close second...

Okay, #music fans. Play along with me. About 3 years ago, the podcast We Will Rank You ranked their top 5 live albums. Not including the ones on their lists (below), what are your top 5 live albums?

#LiveMusicIsBetter

In no particular order:

* Sunn O))) - Domkirke
* Elvis Costello - Live at Hollywood High (edging out El Mocambo, barely)
* King Crimson - USA
* Siouxsie and the Banshees - Nocturne
* Swans - Public Castration is a Good Idea (edging out Feel Good Now)

This morning's soundtrack consists of several live performances by the band Coil that are available (Free/cheap!) on keyboardist Thighpaulsandra's web site.

Barcelona has a great version of Queens of the Circulating Library.

#30DaySongChallenge Day 22 A song that moves you forward.

Hmmm. Not sure how much this differs from a song to drive to, a song I never get tired of, a song that needs to be played loud, a song from my preteen years, and a song from the 70s.

That said, I'm sharing this rocker for today's prompt even though Television's Ain't That Nothing is a multi-category banger...

#30DaySongChallenge Day 19 A song that makes you think about life.

Gracious. Life is a big category of things for a song to make you think about...
