“and the sign said ‘the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls / and tenement halls’”

After several days of being earwormed by “Rhapsody in Blue” —which is not bad in itself, but it’d gotten rather tiresome to live in my brain, with that Always On—it has finally been partially displaced by “The Sound of Silence.” “Partially,” because now I’m hearing Simon & Garfunkel singing over an accompaniment of leaping jazzy arpeggios.

That’s … an improvement? … I guess?

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night

Had he been reading T S Eliot?

Have you heard the version by Disturbed? That one earworms me EVEN MORE than the original.

Brain mashups!

heh, mashups. I've been getting weird hooks serially the past week or so, though not layered like this, which sounds both cool and potentially frustrating....

A Rhapsody in Blue earworm would be like being on hold with United Airlines, forever!

Apparently it's 'Sounds of Silence' time: this is what my brother sent me this morning.
