But that’s really all about Neil and his awesomeness. So tonight, while in the tub, NPR Jazz played a standard sung by The Streisand.

Here are my bathtub musings on the event:

My initial thoughts were that she had really good pitch for a singer. But something about her voice sounded pretentious and nasally. Which immediately made me think that it must take a staggering amount of mucus for her to sound nasally.

Et tu, N.P.R.?

December 23rd, 2009

This time of year… when I go into Ross (which happens more than you’d know), I expect to hear awful Christmas music. But when I flip on N.P.R. I expect to hear some good jazz… Or what would’ve been an interesting news-story were it not for the monotone, horribly boring, nasal-y clod delivering the story in such a pretentious manner.

But one thing I don’t flip on N.P.R. for is Christmas music. I could’ve gone my entire life without hearing The Yellowjackets’ version of Mr. F-ing Drummer boy.
