CHIRP Playlist: Friday, January 13, 2012

I got through a four hour show without once mentioning the fact that it was Friday the Thirteenth.  You can thank me later.

Next week, I’ll be back to my normal-sized two hour show, nothing to worry about. Four hours of me is a lot to take.

This Week in Great Music: 8/8 – 8/14

Wow, That’s a Good Song: Marianne Faithfull, “Children of Stone”, ft. Rufus Wainwright

This technically could fall under “Hooray for Covers”, too.  I first wrote about this years ago, on another long-dead music blog that I used to keep, and was reminded of it today when another Marianne Faithfull song came up in iTunes.  So here, have some vintage blogging from me, circa November 2008.

This Week in Great Music: 8/9 – 8/15

After three days of Lollapalooza, I kind of don’t want to think about music right now. Fortunately for those of us who are sort of burnt out at the moment, there’s not a lot going on. I’ll be at the Rufus Wainwright show on Friday. I’m not in love with his new album, but as a Rufus (and Martha) fangirl, I’ll go to the concert all the same.

News & Links – January 15

It’s slow at work, there’s nothing going on on the internet… I don’t know what to do with myself today.
