I'm surprised you didn't know that Merle was the guy humming in the background during the vocals!

Joni Mitchell, miles of aisles

Michael Jackson, various songs

It's funny. I don't think of his music often and it literally has been about 7 years -- his death -- since I actually sat down and listened for a while. But, something struck me so I did. Like my reaction 7 years ago, wow. He really was amazing.

Goldberg Variations

Louis Armstrong

Nick Drake - to calm me down today

Bill Withers

The sound of my neighbor's edger. In a few weeks that will be irritating. Right now, it's a really pleasant indication that we made it through another winter....

Oh well.

FWIW the new Parquet Courts is fabulous. I might even upgrade my A rating. I'm a big fan of theirs too and find this to arguably be the best record yet.

For those that like older music, I think this album reaks of the velvet underground. Arguably talking heads too. Very creative and certainly worth a listen.

Interpol - Antics

I don't listen to a lot of new pop music. Only a little new jazz, but there's some pretty great jazz stuff going on.

Right now, I'm listening to The Bad Plus Joshua Redman - they were at the Old Town School last night. It was awesome. Live music is better.
