I can't tell one Josh Homme project from another. Everything he does sounds the same to me. I like it, but he has such a distinctive guitar and vocal style and it completely dominates everything he gets near.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cA-L45gEYSI\">Faces - Open To Ideas<\/a>. A pretty standard 70's soft rock love song. Might as well be an Eagles song. Skippable.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Im-Something-New\/dp\/B001QFMVUK\">Nod - I'm Something New<\/a>. This reminds me of The Modern Lovers, a tiny bit. A kind of shambling Frankenstein version of \"I'm Straight\", maybe. It's probably not my favorite Nod song, but I don't hate it, dog.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8We0SwZHd9A\">Norah Jones - The Nearness Of You<\/a>. A no-nonsense piano and vocal jazz standard. Jones is very good at this kind of thing. Reminds me of drinking wine in the afternoon near the shore (because this is the kind of stuff wine bars like to play).\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7Wkk--2St3E\">Pink Floyd - Pow R Toc H<\/a>. Tinkling psychedelia. Though I like the strange melodies in this one, the song as a whole never quite comes together for me.\n<\/ol>\n<p>Et tu?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday morning!
