I'm listening to samples from Alan Cumming's first solo album. It's quite..quirky, like him. It's a completely random collection of songs and some of his interpretations are very interesting/strange. In fact, it's probably not a very good album but I love it nonetheless. 

I spent a fabulous weekend in NYC last February. Wonderful for a couple of reasons, one highlight was seeing Alan perform this collection at the Lincoln Center, in one of their intimate performance spaces. His wit, delightful observations and re-tooling of some classic songs reminded me why I admire and appreciate him so much. Listening to these samples makes me happy and I suspect I'll have to brave limewire today to find DLs.

But for now...five for Friday, with a musical slant:

1. What's one of your favourite songs right now?

2. If you celebrate Christmas, is there a particular song that reminds you of the holidays/gets you into the spirit?

3. What is one of your favourite concert memories?

4. What musician/band is your dirty little secret? Or do you not care, like me, and proclaim your love of cheesy, terrible bands for all to hear?

5. The Jonas Brothers are....

I've put up all the lovely holiday cards I've received (thanks again everyone!). I have bacon in the oven for a feta cheese pastry i'm making (omg, yum!). And, I'm curled up in the armchair listening to the rain pound down. Right here, in this moment, today is gorgeous. Happy Friday, lovelies!
