    All this talk of Arlo makes me think of Woody, which makes me think of Billy who'll I'll be seeing here in a couple of days. If you're a fan of either of the Guthries and haven't already done so, check out the two Mermaid Avenue albums. Billy Bragg and Wilco were asked by Woody's daughter to record some of his songs that had been written but were never recorded. There's some absolutely beautiful music on both albums. Here's one.



    EDIT: helps to have Natalie Merchant singing backup

    Gettin my Parrothead on this evening a great remake of an old James Taylor tune. I really like the breaks in between with the salsa music. How cool would it be to make the kind of money Buffett does, going to work in shorts and a t-shirt with no shoes

    I sometimes don't like covers. Done poorly they can be little more than a lazy, derivative way to get a record made. But sometimes they are fantastic, usually when the covering artist make the song his/her own in a unique way, adding a new twist or perspective.

    And if you're going to cover "Space Oddity", it's hard to think of a better way to add a new perspective than to tweak the lyrics, and record it IN A FREAKIN' SPACE STATION!! Floating in a most peculiar way, indeed.

    Chris Hadfield has been in the news a lot over the last few months as he is the first Canadian to command the Int'l Space Station. Along the way he has recorded a song with one of the Barenaked Ladies, and led a national sing-along with a bunch of school kids to raise awareness about musical education. But for me, this one takes the cake, and it even got the stamp of approval from the man himself. Bowie: "It’s possibly the most poignant version of the song ever created..."



    Hadfield has also taken some phenomenal photos during his time aboard the station - they are well worth checking out.

    He returns to earth tomorrow - safe journey Colonel.

    This one's just been belted out of my iPod, minus the pretty damn good solo in the video...
