Tiggering (adj., tig-GURR-ing)

No, of course this isn't a word. Tigger is a character, not a verb. But you perfectly understood what was meant, didn't you? If the goal of language is to communicate meaning, why can't this be a real, useful word?

Tedeschi Trucks Band - Live from The Fox Oakland

The Tedeschi Trucks Band is the best live act. This is not up for debate. The supergroup specializes in American gumbo, a glorious fusion of rock, blues, jazz, and soul, with a hint of raga music thrown in for seasoning. Their sprawling setlists cover songs far and wide, all done with incredible musicianship.

Their recent album, Live from The Fox Oakland, is two hours of great music. One cut, "Keep On Growing," was released by the band:

Another fantastic cut from the album is "Bird on a Wire," a cover of the Leonard Cohen tune. Though that version isn't available online, this version from Austin City Limits last year will suffice:

Go see them anytime you can.
