Speaking of the Who, how's the Petra Haden now that you've had some time w/ it?

I did like it a lot on first listen. I'm wondering how much I'll go back to it though. I expect I'll start nibbling off bits for mixes and see how they hold up in that context. I do love radically reinterpreted covers if they're well done and this one achieves the primary goal of such a project: it makes me listen to the music in a different way.

I'm trying to find a song that I have only heard on the radio and in TV commercials.

It doesn't ring any bells offhand, but I know there's a website that deals just with this question ("I heard a song in a commercial...". Hold on a sec...

What's That Called?

also...

Music From TV Commercials...

Thanks, Hec. What a cool website.

(Is Edge the Edge's last name, and The a first name? I have never seen Edge Evans. I guess it's easier to be mononamed if you're a guitarist.)

What does the New York Times call him? Mr. Edge? Mr. The Edge?

The Petra Haden hasn't held up so well with me. I still appreciate the craftmanship, but I don't think I'll be listening to it much more.

You know what I'd forgotten? Just how excellent Joan Armatrading is.

What does the New York Times call him? Mr. Edge? Mr. The Edge?

What does The Manolo call him? "The The Edge"?

What does the New York Times call him? Mr. Edge? Mr. The Edge?

Just The Edge, actually.

Though they do manage to sneak a Mr. Clayton in there, just to let us know they're still on their game.

Has everyone heard that Petra Haden is joining the Decemberists?

Yes, yes we had.

t edit That came out way more rude than I intended. Sorry LJ.

NY Times doesn't capitalize the T in "The", so I guess they think he's just Edge.

Most American publications don't cap "the" in those kinds of cases. Like the White Stripes, the New York Times, etc.

Stephanie--it's a famous Hawaiian singer whose name I can't spell. [link]

He died a couple of years ago, but made some amazing music. The bit you like is from "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
