Tuneful Tuesday: The Crow
My blog is at least legible in all three browers now (but trust me, it’s prettiest in Safari) so I’m moving on ahead and will continue to work on it sporadically (please let me know if you’re still seeing the heavy black border around the entries — it’s not supposed to be there!!! And let me know what browser/operating sytem you’re on, ‘kay?)
Jane has only one song on the soundtrack for The Crow but what a song it is! I’ve never seen the movie but I can only hope it’s as good as Jane writes, although I’m doubtful. Yesterday I had a not-so-good day. In fact I had a bad, tearful, “oh dear god, I can’t go on!” kind of overly dramatic wretched day. I worked out to see if the endorphins might help (not so much) and cooled down to this song, which set me to crying, which made me feel a tiny itsy-bit better.
“It Can’t Rain All the Time,” our last Jane song. Enjoy.

Tuneful Tuesday: Hush
I forgot Music Mondays but that’s ok because we can just switch it to Tuneful Tuesday.
Today’s Jane Siberry song is “Pontchartrain” from her album of lullabyes, Hush. Note how she’s layered her voice and it gains resonance as the story moves forward and then peaks when she sings “I asked her if she’d marry me…” before drifting back down to her solitary voice. I think that part is incredibly romantic. (sigh)
Ahhh, I love this song! Listen to it here.
By the way, I can’t get my burner to work (damn OS X!) so it may be some time before I get those lullaby CDs done. I’m very frustrated by this because I wanted to get it to Alisa before Peanut arrived. Drat!

Music Monday: Lovin’ Cup
Being that it’s a grey, gloomy day spitting rain and the kitchen sink is full of cake-encrusted dishes, I needed something to cheer me up right away. Jane is just the ticket with this jaunty, jazzy little number from her album Maria. This is such a lush CD and doesn’t require the listener’s attention in quite the same way that When I was a Boy does. Not that it isn’t worth careful listening — it’s a great CD for a quiet afternoon when the baby is sleeping — but I listen to it all of the time while I’m doing other things like cleaning house.
By the way, if you have recently acquired a baby, are about to acquire a baby, are feverishly working to acquire a baby or have anyone living with you who was once a baby and you would like a lullaby mix CD, please email me with your snail address because I’m thinking I’d like to make one.

3 Questions
Sep 26, 2003 Music
1. Why aren’t my titles showing up with a different font style like they were before?
2. Why don’t my extended entries collapse back anymore?
3. What’s your favorite CD/tape/record to play loudly while you clean the house?
(Mine is the cast recording of “Rent” with Sarah Vaugan singing the Gershwin songbook being an extremely close second.)

Downloading music
Jan 2, 2003 Music
I’ve got a Mac and since the demise of Napster, I haven’t been able to download any music. I had Limewire and it was absolutely useless. Anyone with Mac expertise who can tell me what service is any good and Mac compatible?
