(SPECIAL NICK DRAKE-LIKE EPISODE!) First up we took a listen to a classic Nick Drake song, "Road" from his Pink Moon (iTunes, Amazon, Other Music) album to set the mood. Then probably the closest thing to a current Nick Drake, Neil Halstead, did "Sleeping on Roads" from his album by the same name (Amazon, Other Music). What's the deal with 'roads' anyway? Then British folk singer Vashti Bunyan did "Just Another Diamond Day" from her 1970 by the same name (iTunes, Amazon, Other Music) which had string arrangements by the same guy who did some of Nick Drake's. Next was Samuel Beam, better known as Iron & Wine who must be the second closest thing to a modern day Nick Drake, with the song "Naked as We Came" from the 2004 album Our Endless Numbered Days (iTunes, Amazon, Other Music). Then Philadelphia's Matt Pond PA did a cover of Lindsay Buckingham's National Lampoon's Vacation theme "Holiday Road" (again with the "roads!") from their new Winter Songs EP (iTunes, Amazon, Other Music). And since you shouldn't listen to that version of the song without then listening to the original, it's included too!This week's episode features a clip of George W. Bush's most offensive nominee for ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, explaining his views of the UN. See the video of this audio and more here.
