This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen, for those of you who haven’t seen it.
Every time they come out with a new video, I wonder how they’re going to top the old one. Same feeling with this one.

The Flood produced the newest showing from the Editors. It’s a lot more electronic, and it’s taken me a couple of listenings, but Editors still know how to write and craft great music.
Here are some of my favorites from In This Light & on This Evening.

02 Papillon

04 Walk the Fleet Road

It’s not Thursday, but I’ve been meaning to post this for about a month.
I heard the following interview and performance with Patrick Watson and the Wooden Arms on NPR in early December. It was a fantastic piece, but for some reason I thought it would totally be up Ned’s Alley. Not that I’m all that interested in Ned’s Alley…if he enjoys this I’ll be happy.
I’ve been listening to their album Wooden Arms and been liking it quite a bit. If it would have come out sooner in the year, it might have made my Decade’s Top Ten or So.
This one’s for you, Ned.
Here’s an NPR page with links to other Patrick Watson videos and audio.
"Overman would be proud," I mumbled to myself after hearing the second Elvis song in a row at 8:05 yesterday morning.
Yup, he would be ecstatic that if there was one thing carried over from my high school education, that I could recall Elvis Presley’s birthday with minimal prompting would be it. So I thought about Elvis, quite a bit, in fact. He was hard to escape yesterday, his music on the agency’s sound system all day. I think I may have been growing a bouffant hairdo during this barrage on my sanity.
This year, one of my resolutions is to be faithful in contributing to Music Thursday. Like most resolutions, I hope this one isn’t fashioned to be broken.
I’ve been listening to this song by Imogen Heap like crazy for the past couple of weeks. I thought I’d share. On the deluxe version of the album, I really like the instrumental version. It doesn’t have the emotional tenor of the vocal version, but it really converys a mood to me. For some reason this song really makes me think of being in England and living in the 80’s. At the same time. It’s kind of a strange sensation — this song causes two deeply nostalgic periods of my life to overlap that I never would have thought compatible.
I’ll let you listen now….
Recorded live at KUT studios in Austin.
I’d love to visit some day. Be sure to scroll down and watch the video.

So this guy has been gaining popularity for a while. When I first heard about a Hassid Jewish rapper, I thought “What next”. But the truth is, this song is pretty catchy.
Trying to get the ball rolling with Music Thursdays, here are a few tracks I’ve been listening to in the past month. Let me know if you enjoy them….
01 Chris Garneau | Music for Tourists | Saturday
02 Chris Garneau | Music for Tourists | Not Nice
03 Bat for Lashes | Two Suns | Glass
04 Bat for Lashes | Two Suns | Siren Song

Looking out to that horizon, today, on the release of a new U2 album, it seems appropriate to write to you all with a serious proposal. Namely, let’s look forward and think about a significant journey to Ireland.
I’m not suggesting this happen next month, maybe not even this year, but if there is interest from even just one of you, I’d like to get a date in mind on the calendar and start saving the money it will take to make this a real journey. You’ve got to dream out loud.
What I am proposing, what I am dreaming, is two weeks in Ireland–mapping out a course from Dublin, most likely, and spending the bulk of the time in the western wilds of the country. It would mean setting up lodging in bed and breakfasts and/or hostels, renting a car and braving the narrow roadways, eating in pubs and the like–doing it as cheaply as we can, but also not sparing out on any experience. I’m open to any road, but imagine spending 2-3 days in Dublin, and spending much of the rest of the time in the west and in Northern Ireland.
Certainly this is an expensive proposal, in terms of cost and time and planning, let alone a significant time away from home and family. It is likely cheaper to go in the off months, November through February, for instance. With that in mind, and looking at my own schedule, perhaps January or February 2010 would be a time to shoot for. I hate the idea of being away from Jen and Beckett for two weeks or so, and obviously this is just the beginning of a possible conversation, but I also hate the idea of time and youth so quickly getting away from us. And they are getting away from us. I know there was once a lot of talk among us, on a broken Kansas hillside, about just this very idea of a journey with whoever of us can make it. I’m not even certain I can make it. But I hope, and I scheme, and I instigate, and so I put it back to each of you to think seriously about this and to see what we can do in service to our friendships and lives.
