Canadian singer-songwriter Leslie Feist performed two gigs last week as part of the Winter Games' Cultural Olympiad arts program, the Calgary-bred songstress played a brand new song called "He Was Free".
In the original version of "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa", Vampire Weekend drops Peter Gabriel’s name in the song. Hot Chip convinced Peter Gabriel to do a remix of the song, with a minor lyrical alteration: “And it feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too / And it feels so unnatural, to sing your own name.”
The NBA All-Star game is in Dallas this weekend. We are going to a Dwight Howard and Alan Houston celebrity basketball game this morning then over to the NBA Fan Jam.
The last time the All-Star game was in Dallas in 1986, Spud Webb won the slam dunk contest.
I am a regular guy in my mid-forties. I have a lovely wife and three great kids. When I was in College my friends and I were always into music. As people's lives get busier with family and work it is difficult to keep abreast of new music. I have created this blog to expose people like me to some new music as well as old favorites. Please take a listen and go out and support the artists you like. I appreciate you following the blog and I would love to hear your comments.
The MP3s are for sampling purposes only. My hope is that you will go buy the album if you like what you hear. If you have any complaints, please contact me directly.
