Thanks Gerdon....

With his mention of Lay Lady Lay, I dug out my copy of Nashville Skyline, which contains a few of my favorite Dylan tracks. The one I tend to listen to most, however, is the album's closer, Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You. Everyone deserves to have a moment like the narrator in Dylan's classic: blowing off responsibilities to stick around and spend more time with the person you love. Here is the version off of Nashville Skyline and in addition, a cover of the song from Aussie rockers, You Am I. You Am I is an Australian band with huge success Down Under that is starting to make some noise in the States. Their latest release, Convicts, was one of my favorite discoveries from 2007. More on them on another day, but for now here is their version of Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You.

London town...

Ladies and gentlemen, the world's most boring sport! (Sorry any international readers)

In approximately a week's time, two of your bloggers are heading across the pond to make the rounds in London and Italia. This being my first time to Europe, I have the trip squarely on my mind and I'm beginning to make correlations with the music I've been listening to. How else could I tie the following two songs with London, England? Other than the obvious, they really have nothing to do with London, but whatever, it's good stuff. Check it out.
