Beck, "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime"
from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind soundtrack (Hollywood, 2004)
The Korgis, "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime"
from Don't Look Back: The Best of the Korgis (Sanctuary, 2003) and Dumb Waiters (Asylum, 1980)

In honor of the DVD being released, here's the closing song and the OG edition. I'd also throw up the recent version by Zucchero, but that's the problem: I'd throw up. He makes Joe Cocker sound appealing.

Met Kareem Abdul-Jabbar these weekend at the National Book Festival. Or rather, I forced my way next to the golf cart that was shuttling him from a reading to a signing of his new military history book, and I thrust some copies of JazzTimes into his gigantic hands. Kareem wrote the liner notes for a new Thelonious Monk live CD, and they're pretty good---so I told him he should write for JazzTimes and to give me a call. I'm waiting on pins & needles, but mostly needles, and there's also some hay spread around.

Speaking of gawking NBA dudes in the flesh:
I saw the Minnesota Timberwolves' Sam Cassell at BWI Airport this summer. I couldn't figure out why he'd be in Baltimore, and then I saw something about the premier party for the The Wire, which Sammy was at, and it turns out he's a Charm City native. I always assumed he was from Venus.
