"After work I would race back home, not even eat or take a shower, and just go back to the computer for fear of losing whatever inspiration I had."

Sweet success for Adam Young.

We're listening to "Fireflies," here.

The Smiths - Money Changes Everything

Listening to Fireflies for the first time, I'm convinced I've heard it before. It sounds a lot like something from The Postal Service.

Trail Of Broken Hearts

a long and tired past
in the emptiness has gone
i've found this place at last
and here will remain
with only the aim of staying
sure and fast
leaving just a part
down the trail of broken hearts..

Ugh, friends don't let friends use Auto Tune.

Lem, the Ivy song is lovely - very Pet Shop. Might I add another? Their cover of Nick Heyward's "Kite"

Damn it, Ann, you're trying to do it again. I'm convinced your CD collection is a house of horrors, but this time, I'm prepared to fight back. And I'm a softy. Finding good songs is so easy, I really don't think I'm the one being difficult here,...

I mean, an interesting vocalist ain't too much to ask, is it? Compare.

Standards, Ann, standards.

Please, don't make me take this up with you again. You're supposed to be an artist, not a tool.***

***Fuck this kid's story, or his popularity, his music sucks. Art - especially music - ain't about popularity. If it was, we wouldn't have Jazz.

Sarah Vaughan - Quiet nights and quiet stars

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window that looks out on the mountains,
and the the sea
Oh, how lovely..

The Crack Emcee said...

Lem,

I'll see your Ivy, and raise you an Everything But The Girl track.

Dear New York Times,

When I doubleclick and then right click on a word from your site, I don't get "search with Google" in the context menu. Instead, I get a pop up "?" that forces me to Lala.com.

So, it's good you're dying. If you could, please die even faster.

Sincerely,

Someone younger than the 1000 year old man

Royksopp - Happy up here

Unknown said...

Heh, I just noticed that our host's link goes to Lala.com. Okay, I'm not just imagining things.

It's not so much archaic as someone from the past's view of the future. Like the furniture in Kubrick's 2001. NYT: tomorrow's obsolete, today, as envisaged yesterday.

Lem,

I just woke up - and gotta go - but I'll listen tonight.

Good stuff.

Ann Althouse said...

@ Crack I was mainly interested in the way someone working alone can break through now. As for the music itself, I'm not purporting to judge it, but I found it pleasing.
