Norah Jones makes an appearance on the new Talib Kweli record, Eardrum . I'm told Norah graces Talib with her vocal stylings on a track called "Soon the New Day." Other guests on the album include Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, KRS-ONE. I'm also told Norah wisely leaves the rapping to the pros. Eardrum drops August 21st. Sirius channel "Jam On" will broadcast the last show from former Phish keyboardist Page McConnel's US Tour live this Saturday July 14th at 11 pm EST, with a replay on July 19th @ 7 pm EST. Previous live broadcasts [...]
There's so much good new Summer music out that we had to go to 14 tracks this month. Rest assured they'll all still fit on a CD-R for your cruisin'-down-the-shore pleasure. Turn them up, hang your left arm out the window like McConaughey in Dazed & Confused , pull your aviators down, and punch it. Suzanne Vega - "Frank and Ava" mp3 Blitzen Trapper - "Sci-Fi Kid (Principal Participant 'Kingswood' Remix)" [...]
MP3: Suzanne Vega - "Frank & Ava" from Beauty & Crime, out July 17 on Blue Note, although it's not jazzy. "It's not enough to be in love..."...
The chaotic star studded theme night has become a much loved Meltdown speciality in recent years. In 2005 Patti Smith had Yoko Ono, Marianne Faithful, Sinead O'Conner, Tori Amos and more doing songs about the Innocence of Childhood (review) , and this year Jarvis has declared it Disney time. One evening while getting tired and emotional watching Dumbo with his son, Jarvis pondered the emotional power of the old Disney songs (as opposed to these days when they just rope in Elton for the title tune) and drawing inspiration from a 1988 Disney tribute album by Hal Wilner decided [...]

The new Suzanne Vega album Beauty & Crime is mainly a portrait of New York. She reminisces about a conversation with graffiti artist in Zephyr & I (reusing the riff of Vicious from fellow New Yorker Lou Reed ) and takes a walk down Ludlow Street . Vega depicts the city as an out-of-luck ladywho refuse to give in New York Is A Woman . Vega may sings in a whisper at some points, but her lyrics bite. She has assembled a wide variety of musicians to back her [...]
"You make a really good girl, as girls go. Still kind of look like a guy. I never thought to wonder why." Suzanne Vega ~ As Girls Go from 99.9F by Suzanne Vega I'm sorry for all the recent drama concerning my little blog. When I created Lessons From Things last summer, I had no idea what I was doing, let alone how much this blog would grow and find an appreciative audience. [...]
Day 6 in a crazy attempt to post 5 love songs every day till Valentines Day According to Wikipedia, "psychologically, foreplay lowers inhibitions and increases the emotional comfort of the partners." These songs should have the same effect :) Suzanne Vega - Caramel [MP3] Sia - Breathe Me [MP3] Zero 7 - In The Waiting [MP3] Paper Cranes - Sky Is Down [MP3] * [...]
" to dream of caramel, to think of cinnamon and long for you." Suzanne Vega ~ Caramel from Nine Objects of Desire by Suzanne Vega
As you may or may not know, this blog takes its name from a lyric in the Suzanne Vega song, "Left of Center." I've always been a fan of Suzanne's work and in college, when I went through my "chick singer" phase, I listened to her stuff incessantly. In fact, I wore my copy of Nine Objects of Desire out and had to purchase it again. I haven't listened to Suzanne in a while, but she came up on my mp3 player last night and I've rediscovered my love for her. It's [...]
For today's theme mix, I did something a little different. I got my dictionary out and opened it up to random pages and picked a word. Then, I looked through my collection for a song title that had that word in it. My inspiration for this was the scene in Say Anything when Diane tells Lloyd that she used to underline every word that she looked up in the dictionary. So, here's the most random mix I think I've ever offered up. Hope you like it! [...]
