A couple of songs I enjoyed yesterday that you probably won't have heard about elsewhere:

This winter in Minneapolis I met a talented, and really nice, songwriter named Joe Letness. His band, the RadioSpares, offers "unabashedly fast-paced, catchy, power-pop for music lovers with a short attention span," which I know includes some of you. There's a page of MP3s on the web site, including Normal. "We've got our jobs, we've got the mall, you bought me this terrific sweater."

In a quieter part of the world, my friend Jon Weston recently recorded a Mr. Rogers cover: Please Don't Think It's Funny. "There are lots and lots of people who sometimes feel this way."

Yesterday on KQED I heard a high school student describe the mental hospital patients she sometimes spends time with for her psychology class as "so outgoing it's like almost touching," and seriously, guys, if I ever make a second CD, I don't think I could come up with a better title than "Almost Touching." Remind me.
