Song of the Day: Star Witness
Because some of you bastards have been begging me to come out of retirement. And one of you, I've discovered, has "read (name redacted's blog)" on your Outlook calendar, set for noon each day. Who am I to deny the peeps what they want?
Seems appropriate to be thinking about the best albums of 2006 right
about now. Fox Confessor Brings The Flood certainly makes my list. My
respect for Neko Case grows exponentially with each listen to this
record. And for lyrics like:
"My true love drowned in a dirty old pan
Of oil that did run from the block
Of a falcon sedan 1969
The paper said '75
There were no survivors
None found alive."
Give a listen to Star Witness.
I'm also a big fan of listening to musicians talk about their work. She does in this NPR interview.
