David: Borders
I went to Borders after work today. I saw online last night that Bruce Campbell's new book
Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way was out and I needed to pick up a copy.
While perusing the back shelves for a copy (funny, Bruce is not only a B-Actor but a B-Writer) I noticed I was subconciously singing along to the music overhead. This was Sinatra-esque swing, with the horns and the crooning and all that. As I became aware of myself singing along I assumed it was Frank singing something or other until I became aware of what he and I were both singing. Black Hole Sun. Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun.
"Could Frank have ever covered Black Hole Sun?" I thought to myself. "Moreover,
would Frank have covered Black Hole Sun?"
I tracked down a Border's employee.
"Excuse me. Do you know who this is playing over the speakers?"
"Yeah. That's Paul Anka. Isn't it funny?"
"Hilarious. Where can I get a copy?"
"You want to buy it?"
"Yes."
"It makes a great gag gift."
"I'm buying it for myself."
"Oh."
Without another word she lead me to the Easy Listening CDs (a section I'm not often found in) and tracked down a copy of the album.
Right now I'm in the middle of R.E.M.'s Everybody Hurts.
Steal a song or two by whatever means you choose and listen to this stuff. It's great. Here's a song list:
