I've been listening to a few things from the BYU podcasts lately. There's even a talk that Grandma gave some years ago! Richard Holzapfel has a good once debunking the myths of the Da Vinci Code. Our dear law school professor Gerald Williams has one on conflict. President Samuelson said to speak about something that he deals with a lot, so Professor Williams chose conflict. Music? Paul Simon's "Another Galaxy." Sting's new version of "Fields of Gold" played on the lute. Tom Wait's "Hold On." Francis Dunnary's "Sunshine." Patty Griffin's "Useless Desires." Sarah McLachlan's "The Rainbow Connection." This one was playing on my birthing soundtrack when Ellie was born! A few songs from The Weepies. Check them out at www.theweepies.com. My current favorite is World Spins Madly On.
ADDENDUM POST PUBLICATION: I forgot our favorite discovery from this Christmas. It's an all brass jazz version of O Holy Night arranged by none other than W.G. "Snuffy" Walden of Windham Hill and West Wing fame. Walden's arrangement was featured on the TV show Studio Sixty on the Sunset Strip (from the creators of the West Wing), and you can download it at the show's website: http://www.nbc.com/Studio_60_on_the_Sunset_Strip/
We had it on repeat for weeks and weeks. It's worth having in your collection.
