I always thought that properly learning expository writing, in high school and university, was one of the most valuable lessons of my education. But, in business, sales, marketing, and startups, you need to be able to tell a story, and this is a completely different process from making a statement and following it with carefully fleshed out facts.

Here is Ira Glass from This American Life, one of your favorite radio shows/podcasts, on how to craft a story, through building blocks (the anecdote) as a sequence of events constantly building questions (the bait), as well as the reflection (why is this important).

Led Zeppelin – South Bound Suarez. Another Led Zeppelin song you haven’t heard that will rock your socks off. Be sure to check out It Might Get Loud, a 2008 doc on the guitar and Jimmy Page, the Edge, and Jack White, three guitarists with chops overshadowed by many but an influence beyond them all.

The Distillers – City of Angels. Really, who doesn’t have a crush on Brody? Punk band got more melodic and less hard through their three albums. This track is, well, somewhere in between.

Band of Gypsys – Power to Love. Today’s bike race tune in my head — “With the power of soul, anything is possible.” Jimi Hendrix’ Band of Gypsys, without a doubt, one of the greatest moments of recorded guitar transcendence, killer backing from Billy Cox and Buddy Miles. I’ve worn this CD out ‘til it no longer works.

That last Tumblr post, of Ray LaMontagne’s Narrow Escape, is such a sweet tune, it just begs for a cover. But there’s not much out there. Here’s one with just 11 views on YouTube.
