Forgot what we were talking about….
Megan: It reminds me of that Norah Jones song.
Me: “Don’t Know Why”?
Megan: No, “Cold, Cold Heart.”
Me: That’s a Hank Williams song.
Megan: Well, now it’s a Norah Jones song.
I virtually ran into Chris Cornell the other day on the iTunes store. I was looking for Alien Ant Farm’s cover of “Smooth Criminal” and happened upon Cornell’s cover of “Billie Jean” (long story). I hadn’t heard much from him since his Soundgarden days (except for the brilliant Audio Slave) and felt like I found an old friend. Here’s a video I found on YouTube.. this seems like the most legal way to share music (sorry about the cheesy pictures, etc.).
I’ve long considered Cornell’s voice one of the most inspired in rock music. And now I find he’s lending his voice to inspirational music. Enjoy Schubert’s Ave Maria:

And now, so as not to be called a tease, here is a bonus: Alien Ant Farm’s “Smooth Criminal”
Welcome to my new music blog. I plan to write occasionally on new music, composition, popular music, aesthetics, and anything else that pops up. I’ll also share links I run across. Be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed, and feel free to leave any comments you have–I enjoy discussions more than pronouncements.
