What redeems me from going missing for a weekend is something nostalgic from good ol' Simon & Garfunkel. Their essential collection is really something I could draw posts from for as long as I could. It's that good, and with two disks full of amazing things...dear god. Today's selection is "The Dangling Conversation," which may not be known to a casual fan, but now it's one that you've got to promise to listen to. What I enjoy about their work is that lovely quaint acoustic feeling, and here it is in its most acoustic, quaintness yet. "The Dangling Conversation" has that clockwork-sounding acoustic work you can find now in Fiona Apple, and with the help of some very lovely strings, it almost seems as if we've been transported to a Disney short, where we have a short time to tell the story, but so much we can fit in with so little. You feel me? Good.
