Has Mr. Gareth been listening to Vinyl Cafe?
This song makes me think of long hugs, and warm kisses. And vice versa.

Ingrid Michaelson - Can’t Help Falling In Love With You
Her voice, oh my god, her voice. She took a song I wasn’t that big on and made it achingly beautiful.
Ingrid Michaelson is an auto-reblog. This is beautiful.
Jens Lekman - The Opposite of Hallelujah
I wasn’t planning to reblog this but I’ve been listening to it constantly since Gareth posted it.
If you like the Postal Service or Death Cab, I bet you’ll like Owl City. This is Super Honeymoon.
Posting this mainly for the benefit of Megan. Bekki listens to cool musica!
I bought a new microphone today, and I wanted to compare the quality of the new mic with the built in mic on my laptop.
What better way than to enjoy some Ogden Nash poetry? First, The Cow, followed by The Germ.
You’ll know which microphone is which.
Incredible.
Lamentations of Jeremiah ~ This is not Enchor, but I am singing this song with Enchor. Slash, I performed it Saturday and will probably never sing it again. It was fun! O VOS OMNES!
I get the pleasure of singing this with the University Chorus.
This piece has been sung at every British coronation since 1727 with the coronation of King George II.
It’s fun when singing starts to feel like history.
Miles Davis — It Never Entered My Mind
I love Miles Davis.
I listened to this song lots.
This is a haiku.
Thank you. I am awesome, I know.
The Conversion of Saul (via muzikhall)
Posted for the Audio.
I have the pleasure of learning this with EnChor.
“Mahna Mahna” by Cake

A song everybody knows, and noone knows why.
Home in D’Rock from Naramata 08
Featuring Melissa.
I did the third solo. The one that’s a man’s voice. Well my voice. So… You be the judge.
I’m kinda upset that the choir couldn’t handle the one blue note in the song. But whatever. Can’t win them all.
Ordinary Miracle featuring Gareth
The 2008 Naramata Young Adult Choir
“Spirituals Medley”
Naramata 2007
Young Adult Choir
Arranged & Directed by Brian Tate
This was the highlight of Naramata’s Summer 2007 music week workshop for me. I’m singing the tenor “Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child” part. Also, you can hear me adlib a “moan” in the moanin’ section. Can you hear me?
So much fun, it should be illegal. I hope you enjoy.
Also singing: napoleonsbattleplan
Buddy Griffin & His Orchestra w/ Claudia Swann - “I Want to Hug You, Kiss You, Squeeze You”
This is my favorite song on The Chess Story box set, a box set you gotta get if you like blues, jazz, and soul. I would love to hear someone cover this song and keep to the sultry playfulness.
I wish I knew more about Buddy and Claudia. From what I gather, Buddy Griffin and Claudia Swann eventually married, and this song was one of their last before the disbanding of Griffin’s orchestra. Despite their loose affiliations with the Moonglows and Bo Diddley, they seem to have disappeared amid the 50’s music hustle.
Stewart McClean’s Vinyl Cafe has long been my favorite program on the radio. Unfortunately, I rarely get a chance to hear the full weekly episodes. Lucky for me, the vinyl cafe has a podcast that I subscribe to.
It is usually McClean reading a story, sent in from a fan or one of his own creation, about the simpler things in life. But every now and then, the podcast is something different. This week’s podcast is something different.
