| What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two). |

| Tom's Album / Various Artists | |
|
Yesterday, I learned that Suzanne Vega's
Tom's
Diner was the song used to develop and fine tune the
compression algorithms for MP3 sound files. (You can read about it
here.) Being curious
about why that particular song was chosen, I went over to the iTMS and
did a search. Which led me to this album of variations on that one
song.
It's a fun song, no question. And it's even more fun to see what other people do with it. Especially Mark Davis and Marilyn Whitelaw, who manage to turn it into an ode to I Dream of Jeannie. This'll sound great next to my album of Stairway to Heaven covers. And that Louie, Louie collection from Rhino; can't forget about that... |
