New Toy
Now I don't have to make cds of the music I buy on iTunes! I don't have to listen to a single radio commercial ever again. I can listen to the David Sedaris book I bought while I drive around all day. Very exciting.
Over a decade ago a fling introduced me to Soul Coughing. The next boyfriend I had, I introduced him. Amazing music that also allowed me to pretend to have some sort of street cred. We broke up, but I still had Soul Coughing. When I met the-now-husband I got him into Soul Coughing, also. We even saw them play live at the Showbox in Seattle in 1997. So I was pretty sad when after only three albums, the group broke up. A fourth album was released after their breakup.
So I was very glad this weekend to discover, via KEXP, that former-lead singer Mike Doughty has a solo album out. Apparently he also has an LP out on iTunes exclusively. I haven't really had a chance to listen to it, yet. So tomorrow, LOOK OUT, it is going to be Mike Doughty, all day and all night (oh wait, I won't be driving then, good thing we have a radio in the house!).
I could drown in his voice, it is just so lovely and unique. Maybe that's why Mike hung around through three relationships.
oh lordy, he even has a blog
