Dear friends: the new Viva show drops today. A retrospective of musical highlights from 2009, i.e. an assortment of some of the best stuff I "discovered" this year. Enjoy at 2 PM on Viva Radio, or after-the-fact here.
I'll also be posting about 22 songs tomorrow morning - stay tuned!
Auld Lang Syne: Scottish and North English: 1. old times, esp. times fondly remembered. 2. old or long friendship. [lit., old long since, i.e., old long-ago (days)]

Eurythmics: Love is a Stranger
You think this is the best stanza ever written on the topic of love:
It's savage and it's cruel
And it shines like destruction.
Comes in like the flood
And it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal
It distorts and deranges
And it wrenches you up
And you're left like a zombie.
But then, a mere 23 seconds later, you're confronted with this:
It's guilt edged,
glamorous and sleek by design
You know it's jealous by nature
False and unkind
It's hard and restrained
And it's totally cool
It touches and it teases
As you stumble
In the debris.
So...you know...
"The Seventies never ended." Sean the Philosopher Bateman this time. What a stupid thing to say, I'm thinking. What a strange and supremely stupid thing to say. He smiles at me and thinks it's profound. I feel sick. I want them to turn the music down.
-Bret Easton Ellis, The Rules of Attraction, 1987

Chick Corea: What Game Shall We Play Today?
The players:
Chick Corea, electric piano
Joe Farrell, flutes, soprano sax
Flora Purim, vocals, percussion
Stan Clarke, electric bass, double bass
Airto Moreira, drums, percussion
This reminds me of a cross between Vince Guaraldi and the TV (Sesame Street, 3-2-1 Contact, the Electric Company) I watched as a kid.
