Nora, I don’t suggest you get this, although the “comfortable as it is hideous” part reminded me of your family’s La-Z-Boy. If I was this guy’s girlfriend, the chair would have been gone a long time ago.

So, I’ll now introduce the video. From Questlove’s twitvid feed, he says, “Man. Dirty Projectors came into our room and demonstrated their awesomeness. How cool is it for them to do this?” Questlove, I totes agree.

And I heard a snippet of “Chicken Soup With Rice” on The Today show this morning and I couldn’t get it out of my head. I have been watching YouTube clips of it all day and realizing that about (gasp!) about 15 years since the last time I’ve heard these songs, I still know every word. I loooove these songs, and I’m only learning now that Carole King wrote all the music.
So, here are the two songs that really really really I have been singing all day [WARNING: I can't find this anywhere with the sound synced up with the video. It's annoying, but try to pay attention to the music more than the visuals]:

It’s like nostalgia for something I still experience everyday.

From the author’s blog entry…

Part of the job of a subway conductor is to announce station names and explain delays and route changes. But some conductors do much more. Especially on weekends riders may hear about what attractions are near the current stop or a brief history of the neighborhood. But my favorite aspect of the announcements is simply the variety of tone and timbre in conductors’ voices. As the announcements on the subways become automated (as they are now on most 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and L trains) we will unfortunately lose this art, and so I have decided to document it for my own (and now your) enjoyment by making recordings.

I wonder if he’d feel differently if he watched autotune the news…
