Life is changing, rapidly. Recently, I've been picking up my grand-daughter from school once a week. But I'm old an slow, and I can't keep up with all the new stuff she likes now. A couple of years ago, we could bombard her with the clever funniness of They Might Be Giants, and she loved it. But now, she's 11. Sheesh, almost bloody teenager! Now, all the music she likes sounds horrible to my old-pathetically-outdated-ears, and vice versa. It has highlighted something I already knew as a young man, 30 years ago, that pop music is for young people. We old farts just carry on with whatever crap we grew up with.
A few years ago, she loved this song. Me, her, and her granny (my wife), would play this over and over. But she's outgrown it now. Brings me back.

We used to sing this, quite badly, in the car going to and from school. Those were the days. The very olden days. Of the mesopotamians. Quite a long time ago.

Bloody hell, never heard that version before, but that is right up my street. Thank you! It has the melancholy edge that exactly fits all the cliches of our supposed national character, but in this case, well, yeah, it hits right at home. I'm a cliche. I like it so much more than the original.

Thanks to Demagogue, I've been listening to a lot of Dave Brubeck lately. Thank you! I had forgotten how much I loved his stuff.

Also, somewhat in the same vein, Swedish jazz musician Jan Johansson, one of my all time favourites.

It quite perfectly captures Swedish melancholy, in how everything is so beautiful, but also quite miserable.
[Edit]
Unrelated, but with a slightly more cheerful sense of melancholy.

The first few times I played that Dave Brubeck song, I really thought that "Golden Brown" was a cover by the Stranglers of an unknown Brubeck song. Yesterday I tried to figure out on which Brubeck Album the song was originally released. I couldn't find it. Today I watched the video again, saw some little things (e.g. the twitching at the beginning, the fact that the fingers of the saxophone player were not in sync with the music). And then it started to dawn on me.
Two million views since May. Not bad.
I watched the embedded video. Not the YouTube-page. So I saw nothing, besides watching the video itself. I wrote this post just to say how well done the video was.
