For Holly: Regina Spektor article on the NY Times. Also, first listen of the new album on NPR.
Guilty music pleasure: John Mayer. Most of you knew this, and i'm pretty sure that most females my age are fans if only out of nostalgia. It's tied to freshman year in college, singing in the dorm and while driving around with Roommate and Kar. The second half of his Any Given Thursday album was also one of the two (the other being Bruce's Wrapped ) cds i listened to on repeat while in the twilight zone that followed my back surgery.
Particularly fond of: Why Georgia, which i've taken to singing as 'Why, Wisconsin' (" 'Cause i wonder sometimes about the outcome of a still verdict-less life/ Am i living it right? Why, Wisconsin, why?") for obvious reasons.
Comfortable, pretty much only for the intro, "i just remembered that time at the market/ you snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart/ and rolled down aisle five/ you looked behind you to smile back at me/ crashed into a rack full of magazines/ they asked us if we could leave", which i text to Kar whenever i hear it because the situation completely sounds like something that we would have done.
Despite coming off as a jerk in most of his interviews, the guy actually knows how to play a guitar.
In Your Atmosphere and Try, from the trio cd. Bold as Love and Free Fallin' (which, while covers of Hendrix, whom i also really love, and Tom Petty, respectively, i like better than the originals).
He's got an album coming out tomorrow.
It strikes me that i also need to post something about Stevie Ray Vaughan, but later.
