I just found this great video from a "private artist showcase" at my favorite radio station from back home in Maryland, WRNR . Performing in front of a small audience, Spoon debuted "Peace Like a River," a cover from Paul Simon's self-titled debut album.

I know I know. But I am sorry. I have been a Paul Simon fan for years and I know that it's now HIP to like him, here's a quick study guide to loving Paul Simon: Paul Simon - Duncan Paul Simon - Peace Like a River Paul Simon - America BUY OTHER [...]
with the news of paul simon's upcoming three-part residency at the brooklyn academy of music this april ( ear farm has a nice list of five other "parts" there could've been), i was compelled to revisit one of my favorite albums of his, 1972's self-titled solo debut...while hits like "mother and child reunion" & "me and julio down by the schoolyard" show early glimpses of the world influences simon has become synonymous with, most of the album is a low-key, quiet affair, focused around fantastic songwriting & understated musicianship from some of the best session players in [...]
As The New York Times first reported last night and the Centre Daily Times (?) dutifully followed up on (ie reprinted from a press release) this morning, Paul Simon will be the subject of three unique programs at the Brooklyn Academy of Music this April. The series is entitled "Love in Hard Times: The Music of Paul Simon", and each program will celebrate a specific theme within Simon's musical oeuvre. So far, we know the following programs include: "Songs from the Capeman" [...]
I'm going to do a mixtape of all the songs about children one day. I'm making a list. Only a few on the list so far, but they are all beautiful. This one has been a favourite of mine long before I was a Dad. But now I am; to a hyper-active little boy who doesn't always want to go to bed...well I love it all the more... Oo, little sleepy boy Do you know what time it is? Well the hour of your bedtime's long been past And though [...]

jens lekman 's faithful, pared down cover of paul simon 's "you can call me al" - one of franko's all time favorites and a tape-deck staple - has been rounding the musical corners of the internet for a few weeks but on the outside chance you were slow to the notices here it is again, along with the inspiration: jens lekman - you can call me al (live) paul simon - you can call me al ****************************** ******************** heather at i am fuel [...]
Traditionally mixtapes soundtrack one of three activities: working out, blazing down the highway in a cheap car, and trying to get the object of your affections to fall desperately in love with you after they hear in the music all the things you wish you could say. That third one is probably the most common, and also the most fraught with danger - the danger of rejection and heartbreak. That's why high school students and serious music geeks agonise so intensely on the subtleties of the emotion they're expressing through their choice of song. (For more on this, give Nick [...]

wyclef jean (w/ paul simon) - fast car dang! this song - new from wyclef 's forthcoming the carnival II (december, i think) & not, as i had for a fleeting moment feared a tracy chapman cover - and paul simon 's work on the chorus in particular, makes anyone's guess long for and appreciate graceland . which is not to say i don't enjoy wyclef and his damn catchy hooks and his impressive willingness to experiment with conventional styles. that's a goodly portion of why this [...]
my ipod has died. long live my ipod! in a bit of foresight on my part, i ordered the new 160 gigger when they were announced, but my better judgement weighed in and helped me decide that i didnt necessarily need a new ipod. i tried to tell my better judgement to mind its own fuckin business, but he's a strong son of a bitch. so, luckily i had bought the protection care thing a couple of years back. i am kinda glad it went out when it did cause the warranty was going to run out in 42 days, [...]
Loads of songwriters put out quality material in the 1960s and 70s, but how many of them are still up to par today? The Rolling Stones might still be touring, but they haven't written a quality song since I was born. Tom Waits wrote a lifetime's worth of stunning songs from 1973 to 1980, but today specializes in disconcerting Brechtian howling. Warren Zevon was still up to snuff, but then he died. Who still cuts the mustard three or more decades after being brilliant? Who hasn't a) died b) wrecked themselves on erection pills and Jack Daniels c) [...]
