Day #30: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Eddie Vedder
June 30, 2008
Always a fan of blended, fusion music: I was telling J.B. how Eddie Vedder's voice is still one I greatly admire. J.B. told me I needed to hear the Dead Man Walking cd, which features Vedder with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, singing "The Face of Love"

Day #21 Melpo Mene or Yael Naim, you choose....
June 21, 2008
Friend G. says this is his fav song of late, even though it's used in a Volvo commercial; sort of like "New Soul" by Yael Naim in the Apple Air ad, but I like Naim's song far better than this one by Melpo Mene, but if you want seriously easy listening, try this duo...Not for me, but for some...

Day #10 If Spiritual Angst Had a Voice, It would be Vedder's
