Still with me? In honor of the Rapture hoopla, I thought maybe I should borrow the title of the last track for this show: Woke Up Laughing … because that's what everyone *else* is doing today while the believers take stock of their disappointment … but instead, I'm calling the show This Little Habit because you know, even if it WAS the end of the world, this is exactly what I'd still be doing …
And it's not just me: lots of digital ink was spilt this week on "end of the world" music selections -- single tunes and entire shows that folks choose to be listening to as they check out … here at BeatConscious, the tunes run the gamut from the brandnewness of Adele to the eternalities of Van Morrison's 1968 masterpiece, Astral Weeks, Little Feat from 1973 and Robert Palmer's 1980 release Clues. I was reminded of the Palmer track recently because a few moments of it played over the closing credits of Pineapple Express, which I watched recently … such is the nature of This Little Habit: watching movies (or doing most anything) but thinking music…. In any event, no real narrative arc in this show, just bathing in the joy that music brings, right up until the end.
