  2. Musical Interlude: Heard this twice recently, once shuffling on my MP3 player, again on the radio, so it seems like fate. Here's a great cover of a Richard Thompson song.

    "When the Spell is Broken," performed by Bonnie Raitt and the Blind Boys of Alabama.

  3. Musical Interlude: Recently I caught a commentary that while the person felt that communism stifled innovation, they also felt that runaway capitalism, with most money in the hands of a small group of oligarchs, was just as bad. I don't know enough to judge their viewpoint, but it did bring to mind this brutal song that reminds us of life under oligarchy.

    "Pharaoh," performed by Richard Thompson.

  4. The Sound of Task: Music and Themes in HBO’s New Drama

    The Sound of Task: Music and Themes in HBO’s New Drama
    Some shows use music as a garnish. HBO’s Task treats it like the main course. For creator Brad Ingelsby, sound is not background noise but the heartbeat of the story....

  6. Musical Interlude: Oh my...this meeting of two legends is just amazing. Enough said.

  7. Musical Interlude: Here's a song for those times when you're fed up with the status quo, waiting for something to change it...and realizing you're the one who needs to step up and take the first step.

    "The Storm Won't Come," performed by Richard Thompson.

  8. Musical Interlude: Richard Thompson's album "you? me? us?" was an interesting experiment; two discs, one fully electric, one stripped-down acoustic, featuring some of the same songs. I would have preferred the exact same playlist, electric and acoustic, to compare and contrast, but one can't have everything. This track from the Electric disc, of a man confronting his sweetie's mixed signals, is a bit of fun.

    "Am I Wasting My Love on You?" performed by Richard Thompson.

  9. Musical Interlude: Grooving to some Richard Thompson today, and was struck by this haunting, melancholy ballad. Kind of an unsettling song, but regarded by some as one of his best.

    "From Galway to Graceland,' performed live by Richard Thompson.

  10. Musical Interlude: I love Richard Thompson, and some of his best work is when he's singing of heartbreak and love gone wrong. Here's a catchy song when a relationship doesn't live up to his partner's high-sounding words...

    "She Said It Was Destiny," performed by Richard Thompson.
