Such Random Things (Music Edition)

• Barenaked Ladies and Guster? Together? On a cruise to warm, sunny locales in cold, cold February? Wow. If only it weren't for the thousands of other people who will be on board (and as a second part of this - has anyone gone on one of these music cruises? Worth it?)
  
  
• I am addicted to Passion Pit's "Sleepyhead" and am quite amused that the sampled track is none other than Gaelic favorite "Óró Mo Bháidín" by Mary O'Hara. And you thought sampling the Ricki Lee Jones interview on The Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds" was random!
  
  
• How cute are these kids, even if they don't know what Lisztomania is? (thank you to Graham Linehan's awesome blog Why, That's Delightful! for posting it first)
  
  Songs on my summer playlist? MANY, but here's a random mix:
  
• Corinne Bailey Rae: Paris Nights/NewYork Mornings
• Bent: Beautiful Otherness
  
• The Raveonettes: Dead Sound
• Billie Holiday: Speak Low (Bent Remix)
• Gorillaz: Empire Ants
• Rusted Root: Laugh as the Sun
  
• Pet Shop Boys: I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing
• Underworld: Two Months Off
