All my tubes and wires and careful notes and antiquated notions

Look, I thought we were all agreed that you, the readers of this blog, would tell me about stuff like this. Thomas Dolby -- who was the best thing about last night's Ethel Fair -- has a blog. In fact, he's had it for almost a year now. His most recent post folds in Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Marvin Gaye, the Grammys, and YouTube, and you need to go read it right now.

That version of Marvin singing the Anthem is deep. Wish it was a live band so he could hold that top note (that drum machine is a little stilted but he kills it)

Marvin is off the scale. As someone noted in Thomas Dolby's comments, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has said that listening to that performance was the first time he felt American.
