One Good Thing

Three new records arrived in the mail today. (I prefer to call them "records" even though they're CDs. "Records" just sounds nicer.) Dar Williams' "Many Great Companions", a 2 disc greatest hits collection, one of which is acoustic reinterpretations of 12 of her folky tunes; Ray Lamontagne & The Pariah Dogs' "God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise", for the title alone; and the debut record from Keane's splinter group Mt. Desolation. I'm listening to the Dar record presently. It's familiar. Like listening to one of my Dar playlists. But as a true fan, I had to get it. You understand. Ah, new music! Good stuff.
