Melody Gardot

What is it about a music video that can change so much about how you view an artist? Presentation? Perhaps. Or, it could be something more. I first saw Melody Gardot on "Live At Abbey Road"; she wasn't one of the featured artist. She was performing with Herbie Hancock. Curious, I listened to her sing "Edith and the Kingpin" with reluctance; after the first bar, I went to Amazon and downloaded "Worrisome Heart" and I didn't regret it. I just bought "My One and Only Thrill" (I'm really diggin' the orchestral version of "If the Stars Were Mine"), and it's just perfect for an office environment...or a quiet evening at home. And, when I heard about how she ended up making music, and what she had to overcome, I became an instant fan.

A fan who just listened to, and appreciated her music. Then I saw this video:



Now I see her in a whole new light.

I heart bubble baths.

White House says it is creating 'very large' dossier on Washington Post journalist and others.

    This is not okay.   For the record, I hate the phrase "This is not okay", but this is NOT okay.  To be fair, I'm certain that he's not the first POTUS to create dossiers on, well, anyone.  But this is an intimidation tactic, plain and simple.  I mean, POTUS is pretty fucking lazy, so there may not be any dossiers.        'Cept, his folks will have to do whatever he tells them to do either because it's their job or because of the allure of power...and maybe out of some sick form of civic duty.        As if gathering info of journalists in order to shut them up is patriotic.        Last I checked, it was the very antithesis of the American way .      November 2nd can't get here soon enough.         This is not a myth, POTUS.
