The kind of music fan who ends up moving to Scotland in his 40's to write a PhD thesis about Nick Cave. No, that's not a joke.

A song you'd like to hear covered by someone else. Which artist?

I continue to be blown away by this record. At least for the moment, it's holding the number 1 slot for my record of the year. I think one of the qualities that keeps me coming back to it is the way it feels both very "of the moment" and so steeped in classic late 20th Century American pop music sounds—from late 1950's country balladry, to 70's southern rock, to 90's indie rock—that it also feels instantly timeless.

Case in point is this lovely little torch song, which sounds like a contemporary take on a late 50's/early 60's Willie Nelson song that Patsy Cline would of spun into a solid gold hit. In the impossible realm, a Patsy Cline cover of this song would be amazing.
