8. Isn't Beirut some of the kids from Arcade Fire, or am I completely off my meds?

The new re-mixed stuff is nice, but pales in comparison to the original songs. The DVD is probably the best part as they updated the videos to look better.

18. There are a bunch of new female vocalists out there
who are singing ballads that remind me of music from the twenties, thirties and forties. S. Bareilles is one of them, and her voice is wonderful. Flight of the Conchords is a pair of Kiwi guitar players who sing comedy, like this:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=WGOohBytKTU

They just won a Grammy, apparently.

22. Another one I'd like to mention, because he's not so well known...

28. Chet Baker singing "Time after Time"
40 years ago, I was listening to Chet Baker, the trumpet player. It has only been in the last few years that I discovered Chet Baker, the singer. "Time after Time" is one of his best!

"Time after Time"
Time after time I tell myself that I’m
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening when the day is through

I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You’ve kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You’ll hear me say that I’m
So lucky to be loving you

40. Carole King
"Tapestry" album.

With all the negativity in the world today, I've been drawn to music that gives me a lift. Carole does it every time.

If "Smackwater Jack" doesn't get my toe tapping, nothing will. :)
