In which I share the MP3 love.

This combination of songs is typically me: vintage Elton John and neo-soul hardly go together, but these two songs were at the top of my playlist all weekend anyway:

Mellow – Elton John This track is from John’s brilliant 1972 LP Honky Chateau, an album my dad spun a lot when I was young and impressionable. I’d forgotten how much I loved this track until I heard it for the first time in years after finally getting the album onto my iPod last week.

Whatever – Jill Scott This song is just plain fine. It’s been out long enough that right now I’m looking for remixes. The one I’ve found so far isn’t very good. Her web site has blurbs of a few more so I’m off to look for them.
