We choose to go to the moon...

I picked up a copy of Alison Krauss and Robert Plant's collaboration, "Raising Sand", and it is sublime.

Here are three tracks to wet your whistle and, hopefully, motivate you to pick up the entire album. Their voices blend together in a way I couldn't imagine until I heard it for myself and, throughout the album, they so clearly draw on their unique influences to drive the sound. Sublime.

I. Rich Woman

II. Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)

III. Please Read The Letter

Here's a great Behind the Scenes "Making Of" video.

I also picked up Reba's duets album which I love but not in quite the same way I love "Raising Sand." Here's her track with Justin: The Only Promise That Remains

And, finally, for good old fashioned fun, a track off Britney's new album: Piece of Me

Please comment if you download. Feel free to share the files but do not share the links. I track that kind of stuff. I'm still regularly finding porn sites with direct links to my Tricia Helfer Playboy scans. (In fact, one of my greatest internet pleasures is changing up the images behind those specific URLs so the porn thieves are stuck looking at Mickey Rooney instead.)

For shits and giggles, I created an RSS feed for Moonshot: moonshot_recs. I honestly can't imagine there's much use for it but I wanted to understand how LJ RSS feeds work and Moonshot is what I thought of first.
