It's been a good summer for music, though. I was able to attend two great shows: Crowded House and Toad the Wet Sprocket. Plus, I finally got my hands on Suzanne Vega's new album, Beauty and Crime. It's as fantastic as I hoped it would be.
You may remember Suzanne Vega from of the oft-remixed Tom's Diner (you can listen to a snippet of this and many of her other songs at her website). Her new album is slightly more pop-y and less folksy than I expected, but in the best possible way. My favorite song is the first one, Zephyr & I, followed closely by Edith Wharton's Figurines. I also just learned from Wiki that Vega has the same birthday (different year) and same degree (English Lit.) as me. Love her!I'm also really enjoying The Underdog (as far as I can tell, the song has no connection to the crappy Jason Lee Underdog movie which I've expressed my disgust for previously) by Spoon. I just can't resist a band with a good horn section.
(And that, of course, is a runcible spoon)
