Melody Gardot is a new Jazz/Pop lady who everyone should keep their eyes on. She's a very talented singer/songwriter and could very well reach real mainstream success very soon. This song is particularly nice. It's a nice combination of vocal jazz strings and jazz quartet. The song is very fluid. The lyrics are also pretty soothing. The best moment of song however is when she first sings "Baby I'm a fool who thinks it's cool to fall in love". It's a great and beautifully bitersweet moment. The video is also pretty nice.
Movie of the Week: Nashville
Robert Altman's 1975 movie about Nashville is great. It's really an important movie. Only secretly though. It was truly catching Nashville when it was first making it's rise. Easily one of Altman's best films, It's truly a snapshot of the lives of many characters in Nashville, and a snapshot of mid-western America in the mid-70s. This movie is absolutely phenomenal, check it out.
Album of the Week: No Line on the Horizon - U2
I was waiting pretty much since this came out to post this, because I wanted to see if it really stuck with me or I just had an inaccurate first impression. Fortunately for U2, you, and myself, the album is really incredible. It's very new. The chord progressions are awesome, the lyrics are at the top, the sound is a lot newer then their past albums. Pretty much everything on this album is a step forward. God, even the Edge uses a lot less delay on this album. I doubt Bono's Sunglass situation has changed though.
