Back from vacation
I do believe a week away was exactly what I needed, and now I’m back.
I’ll try to discipline myself over the next week or so to actually write about what I did while I was away. To start with though, here’s a quickie for you.
While we were in the “Sky Church” at the Experience Music Project, I started hearing a song that I immediately started humming along with but didn’t immediately place. Turns out it was an artist named Petra Haden doing an almost completely a cappella remake of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Belivein’”. Turns out there was a competition for creating videos to go with that song and the others on the same compilation album, and YouTube has the video for this one. I don’t particularly like the spoken word portion. It doesn’t fit with the hyper-accuracy of the rest of the song, but I forgive it anyway.
P.S.
This song was recorded for an album full of “guilty pleasure” songs. Bonus points for the first person to recognize and comment on the other guilty pleasure song reference in this one.
