Random Notes (II)

So there was a post called Random Notes that mysteriously disappeared.  I must have inadvertently deleted it when trying to clean up some recent draft posts.

But, in the spirit of that post, here are a few things of potential (future) interest:

• Basia Bulat covering So Long, Marianne.

• The original of A Little Lost.  I truly love the Red Hot Compilation "Dark Was the Night" - and am now truly intrigued by the Arthur Russell one..  

• A June 2000 profile of Lucinda Williams in the New Yorker.  Not long after I saw her at the lovely St. Andrews Hall in Detroit in May 1999.  Still one of the best concerts, in one of the best venues, I've ever seen.

• The new Leonard Cohen album.  Only played twice so far, but that first track is gripping..  

• The Boomswagglers.  Austin. 

• The slow rebirth of the retro-cool - If Charlie Parker were a Gunslinger..
