Been a while since I listed a song of the day. I guess this means I need to spend more time watching You Tube and less time whining about my life. Anyway:
Rosie Thomas: I Let Myself Fall
Sorry about the JAM mash-up vid; least of evils (I could have given you a Gilmore Girls one, after all).
Hadn't heard of Thomas before but think I really like her stuff. Check out her Myspace for more listening loveliness. So far I like all I've heard. I like "Much Farther to Go" as well.
A good song makes every part of me alert, even while my whole body relaxes.
In the And Now For Something Completely Different category: The Gipsy Kings covering Hotel California. Absolute unadulterated coolness. Talk about guitar playing.
While on that subject, check out the Rosenberg Trio and their cover of Don't Mean A Thing. Lord. Well, and Bireli Lagrene, for that matter. Here's Minor Swing with all of 'em. And yes, it is pronounced MEE-nor. Get it together, wouldja?
And, of course, the Kings themselves:

What Django does with only 2 fingers, for all practical purposes ... man.
I hate colds. That is all.
