Track of the Week: “Worrisome Heart” by Melody Gardot
Submitted by jstudent on Wed, 2008-08-13 12:13.
As inspiring as Melody Gardot’s tale of overcoming adversity is, perhaps the best thing which can be said about her talent is that her whisper-soft, bluesy vocals stand alone just fine without the back story.

RIP Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac
Submitted by jstudent on Sun, 2008-08-10 17:56.Tough weekend: Both comedian Bernie Mac and singer / Duke of New York / voice of Chef Isaac Hayes died.
