Dear Today,

Listen to these, today, an eight song set of Nick Lowe:

Refrigerator White.

Breakaway.

Without Love.

Ba Doom.

The Rose of England.

Wish You Were Here.

Big Big Love.

(I Love the Sound of) Breaking Glass.

From their rooms.

Dear You,

Are you in your room right now?  I am in mine, and there are two pots boiling in the room to the right, and to the left, the porch lamp holds the House Finch nest and eggs again.  This room, is nowhere near, and it is not now, but it is great, and it is your song(s) for the day.  I love this series of performances called In my Room, brought to you by Rolling Stone.  I hope it inspires you to play in your family band, because I am playing in mine.

Safe as Houses.

Dear Concerted,

Here is the song for today, and it's long been a favorite of mine.  Try another version, too. 

I love the sound of breaking glass.

Dear Radioheads,

Your song for today.  Do you remember that drizzling cold Elvis Costello concert we saw up North?  How we thought we'd die when Nick Lowe came onstage as a special guest?  Nothing new; I would still have his baby.

If you don't love the sound of breaking glass, you are probably wondering where's your everything?  Or, maybe one's too many, and a hundred ain't enough?

Until soon.
