Song to Sing

Ray Charles, Bert, and Ernie. Do I need to say more?

Mercy

Unfortunately there are only two good songs on Duffy's debut album, par for the course I guess, but this one kicks.

It Don't Have To Change

We recently performed this song at a church function. It's got some soul, even when performed by mostly white people.

Another Way To Die

David tipped me off to this song. It's coming to a Bond-playing theater near you very soon. I'm not a huge fan of the music video, but the song has some very nice parts, and is quite fun on Guitar Hero.

The Riviera Affair

From the very beginning of Ocean's 13. From the Youtube page, this song is apparently called The Riviera Affair, which seems appropriate. I remember seeing the opening for Ocean's 13 and thinking, "that in itself is some fine, fine video art."

Cupid De Locke

The video is dumb (homemade by some cheesy tub who happened to pick a good song), but the song is great when you think you've heard all of the good Smashing Pumpkins songs already and then you find one like this that's 10 years old. Thanks again to KCRW for giving me another new song.

You Do It To Yourself

With my move from Boston to Seattle, I haven't had too much opportunity to find new music. Having settled into my new apartment, I've got something I heard while eating at Chipotle. Mark Ronson featuring Alex Greenwald doing a cover of Radiohead's song Just.
