Hi gang,
I'm several digests behind, so forgive me if some of these top[ics have
already been discussed.
(1) I was all set to enjoy the new Ellen show, and hear Jonatha Brooke's
song on it, but I was interrupted three times, so while I was able to follow
the relatively simple plot (I love Ellen's schtick, so I liked the show
anyway -- and what a cast), I think I missed the Jonatha song. I heard part
of the theme song, and snatches of other things -- which song was Jonatha's?
Will she be a regular contributer?
(2) I assume most of you have seen the Gap ad with Carole King and her
daughter Louise Goffin, CK at the pinao while LG sings So Far Away, and then
CK slips into a song I don't know -- something about "I can't help
believing..." -- I understand CK has a new album out, or coming out, but I
was wondering if anyone was familiar with Louise's oeuvre? Her voice reminds
me of her mothers, and I can't imagine, given her parentage, but that she
must be a killer singer/songwriter...
(3) Diana Krall on Leno last night: Her bossa nova version of S'Wonderful
waS'Wonderful, but as usual, the musical guest was stuck at the end with no
time to spare. They've done this to Joni more than once, too. Grrr.
(4) Anyone else watch Crossing Jordan last night? (I'm a Jill Hennesy fan,
good to see her getting her own show and stretch her acting chops, after
three years on L&O being the milquetoast.) The incidental music was
wonderful, largely celtic sounding, and the last song, male singer, was
wonderful. Anybody hear it? Know who that singer was?
(5) Who is the group that sings that rapid-fire song in the Mitsubishi add
that shows two genX girls in one car, and three genX boys in another, some of
it shot in a parking garage? The song is catchy -- it was a hit not long ago
-- but I don't know the name of the song or the group. The lyrics are along
the lines of "It's been two weeks since you talked to me...."
Thanks for your patience, and can you tell I watch WAY too much TV? :-)
peace,
walt
