Persistent Distraction

What My Taste In Music Says About Me

Well,  I like sad bastard music . . .

The Weepies: Say I Am You

Carpenters, Schmarpenters.

This is a sweet, simple, extraordinary album from a genius folk-pop singer-songwriter duo.  The two pure, unaffected voices blend into simple but unusual, sometimes almost recklessly parallel harmonies; the lyrics are poetic and never more clever than is needed; the effect is an effortless, infectious, grownup innocence. 

Everyone on my Christmas list is getting this CD.

All Hail The Weepies.
