Notes on some music

On Friday, I got upstairs to my office a few minutes later than I should have because I had to sit and listen to the rest of The Last Town Chorus's version of Modern Love. If you've not heard it, you can listen and watch the music video on YouTube here. I never knew this song of Bowie's would benefit so much from some steel guitar, but it does.

Elizabeth and I have this running joke that Norah Jones' sole claim to fame is that she can sing anyone's song slower than the original artist can. At first blush, this rendition brings one close to that, but something about the delivery keeps it from being lame.

Another album for me to buy, thanks to the wonderful South By Southwest festival bit torrent file. You can get your copy by following the link.

Hey, I listened to that song and I really liked it. So much so that I actually downloaded the whole album off iTunes, though I haven't had a chance to listen to all of it yet.

How are things in NY? Here I'm just gearing up for Thanksgiving and a few days off. Then I'll be thrown right into the mess of the next couple weeks which means concerts, concerts, concerts, and final projects--though I don't actually have any real exams. I'll definitely need that Florida vacation when it comes around...
