Obscure Dylan, Keith Richards, Grant Hart, and country songs, stuff from all over the map but all tossed off elegantly. He even turns Heart's lovably-bombastic "Alone" into an insomniac solo-piano exercise. Grant Hart's "2541" is probably my favorite cover on there, with "Echo Beach" coming in a close second. I play that track almost every radio show I do.

Smooth aurally, yes, but listen closely and find lyrics about insomnia, plane crashes, love-as-surgery, dangerous submission through ecstasy, and more. No wonder the record ironically (at first) worked better when I move around than when I lie down to relax. I'm not even a huge fan of Jarvis Cocker or AIR (I'd probably dig Neil Hannon more if I had more of his records). Recommended to all. Fun factoid: Charlotte allegedly overcame mic fright by singing from underneath a blanket. Just like Lionel Fanthorpe used to write. The Patti Smith album, still working through it. Some songs jump out, others, not so much. Smith fans may enjoy the documentary film "Black White + Gray: A Portrait of Sam Wagstaff and Robert Mapplethorpe," with cheerful Patti unfolding the story of her old friend (and Mapplethorpe's lover) Sam Wagstaff.
