Ear (and eye) Candy

I'm in Seattle and still recovering from this damn cold. So writing this was meant to cheer me up, and I chose to blend two loves: boys and music. ;)

I've never really dated a musician, and have never particularly been attracted to guys for their musical abilities (though it's a nice cherry on top), but there are a few musicians I've seen live that are just damn sexy when doing their thing on stage. Here's a sample:

Britt Daniel - He may be a hipster and a player who's too cool for Austin, but the man has perfected his foot stompin and ass shakin moves. There was a day when I would go see Spoon live almost every time they played, but these days they play large, expensive venues and I am content to just recall past memories of Britt's sexy stage charisma and jam to their CDs.



Munaf Rayani - Unfortunately I've only seen Explosions in the Sky play live once, and though I was half dead from exhaustion, I was mesmerized. These four guys are absolutely amazing musicians. And there is something undeniably attractive about the way Munaf sways (and thrashes) with his guitar. I could watch for hours. (He's the one on the far right of the stage in the video - it's long but SO worth it)



Gary Clark, Jr. - Those who've seen live shows with me know that I am a sucker for the harmonica, and Gary Clark, Jr. plays it oh so well. Any musician who can successfully juggle vocals, harmonica, and guitar alone on stage commands my respect, and this one happens to be easy on the eyes as well.

So there you have it. Now, don't think I see live shows simply for the eye candy, cause that's hardly the case. I am happy and eager to see any good live show, whether it's Pinetop Perkins, Daniel Johnston, or someone who could give Johnny Depp a run for his money. The fact that some shows provide a little added bonus just makes the deal even sweeter. And make for a fun blog post.
