Why Today is Magic in the Music Universe

I'm convinced that some kind of fortuitous portal in the universe opened up today giving us new tracks from Tom Waits, Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix, and David Bowie (plus word of a new album). That's some good juju if I've ever seen it.

 And let's not even mention the unconfirmed speculation regarding a possible Postal Service reunion at Coachella. Don't even speak about it. I will say though, if it were to be true, it could probably only happen today.

 The stars are aligned, kids. Start a band or something today.

+ Tom Waits and Keith Richards - "Shenandoah"  (It's a sea chantey!)

+ Jimi Hendrix - "Somewhere" 

+ David Bowie - "Where Are They Now?" 

I Know, Enough with The Muppets

Now I just feel compelled to continue my Muppets beat.

Two things: Ok Go released a video this week for their cover of the Muppet Show Theme Song. It is inexplicable. It reminded me of an old envy for the world where humans and Muppets co-exist in harmony.

Some inspired individual made a video of Cookie Monster clips synced up with Tom Waits's "God's Away on Business." It feels twisted, and yet you've got to see it.
