No, Eliot’s voice gets on my nerves as well. He has a naturally lovely baritone, but he whines it, ending up sounding more like a caricature than anything.

gah. Am I the only person who hates Eliot’s reading of Prufrock? Completely ruins the opening lines for me, in that nasally intonation. Maybe it’s because I’m a fellow St. Louis native and I think his fake British accent is pretentious and stupid.

Friday Random Ten – True Love Edition

1) Let’s Settle Down – Vanessa Williams – Bye Bye Birdie 1995 tv soundtrack (That green stuff’s grass, and that smell everywhere – do you know what that is? Fresh air!)

2) Pinball Wizard – The Who – Tommy (I love the acoustic guitar on this album) (Ironically, when you do an Amazon search in music for “Tommy,” the soundtracks for both The L Word and Queer as Folk come up on the first page. They’re on the Tommy Boy label.)

3) Veil of Mist – Robert Rich – Rainforest

4) You Don’t Know Me – Eva Cassidy & Chuck Brown- The Other Side (I love this song, especially when Meryl Streep sang it in Postcards From the Edge. I can strum out a fair rendition on my now long-neglected guitar. Perhaps this summer…)

5) Your Tongue Like the Sun In My Mouth – Sophie B. Hawkins – Timbre (Oh my. I’ll have what she’s having.)

6) The Man In the Moon…
