Years ago, I lost any musical talent I may have gained from a few years of trumpet lessons (I remember playing pieces with lots of sixteenth notes, but don’t remember how well). But as most who know me can attest, I also have a tremendous - overriding - interest in inside baseball sorts of tidbits: talk of managing hedge funds and, today, finding common elements of songs I know and running them together.
This link is a whole ton of Of Montreal covers (via Metafilter), but by far my favorite is the version of the Fiery Furnace’s ‘Tropical Iceland’ that throws in a bit of Talking heads at the end. What’s better than one great song? Two great songs in one! Here’s the mp3 in question.
