Today's randomly-selected list of music is brought to you by bed-hogging cats, dry air and Glenlivet 21. Moar sleep plz?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Benny Goodman Trio - Stompin At The Savoy<\/a>. A pleasant clarinet jazz number. There's not much stomping<\/i> in the trio version (which I couldn't find on YouTube), it's more of a nice stroll. But, I like it anyway.\n
  2. Doc & Merle Watson - Mississippi Heavy Water Blues<\/a>. I suppose this was written before \"heavy water\" meant water where the hydrogen has been replaced with deuterium - the hydrogen isotope with a neutron and a proton in the nucleus, instead of the typical lone proton. The poor farmer in the lyrics probably doesn't have much need for a neutron moderator. Sounds more like he needs a boat.\n
  3. The Shins - Weird Divide<\/a>. From back when The Shins had that slightly creepy, lo-fi, vibe. Lots of reverb. Lots of empty space. Acoustic guitars. Nice.\n
  4. Robyn Hitchcock - Queen Elvis II<\/a>. This is the slow atmospheric version from Eye. Two electric guitars with heavy reverb and tremolo, plus Robyn singing. It's a nice version. Still don't know WTF the words are about.\n
  5. Q-Tip - Good Thang<\/a>. There's a real band, with interplay and solos and backup singers, all that good stuff. This is a big change from his usual MO of rapping over a clever construction of groovy samples. And he pulls it off - sounds both like a funky R&B tune and a Q-Tip rap - because he's a genius.\n<\/ol>\n
