I bought one album awhile ago after Graceland that I can't even listen to. But this new one sounds intriguing. I wasn't aware of it so thanks for the news, I will have to check it out!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-68202615501921799452011-05-08T12:25:56.754-05:002011-05-08T12:25:56.754-05:00Did you know that Paul Simon just released another...Did you know that Paul Simon just released another album in the last weeks? Critics are saying it's his best work since Graceland. I bought it and the first few numbers are really excellent, I think. But I was listening to it in my office and a student asked, "who's that?" and I said, "Paul Simon, you probably never heard of him," and the student said, "Simon and Garfunkel?" and I said, "yes, but he had a whole solo career after that." I honestly think his solo work was a lot better, though posterity will of course remember him from his S&G days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-30174500694501285652011-05-07T15:13:05.163-05:002011-05-07T15:13:05.163-05:00@calexora -- I love Simon and Garfunkle too, but t...@calexora -- I love Simon and Garfunkle too, but this song was from Simon's solo album, (which still had Garfunkle singing backup). There are some other songs on that album I am really crazy about (not necessarily the hits!).<br />I downloaded Handbrake, but I haven't a clue how to use it! It looks waaaay too complicated for me. I am too impatient to bother with it!<br />I have lots of DVDs now so I should be making my own clips. I started using Elvira's tutorials (which are great), but I ran into some problems, and like I said -- I am very impatient -- so I just wanted to get that Springsteen song out there and I plan to remake the video when I figure out what I am doing!<br />Thank you for your encouragement!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-42554851440498113742011-05-07T13:02:59.239-05:002011-05-07T13:02:59.239-05:00Phylly, thanks for reminding me of that great Simo...Phylly, thanks for reminding me of that great Simon and Garfunkel song. I love their music. And good job on the video. I'm trying to learn how to do it too. The challenge I have is that I bought lots of stuff via iTunes so I haven't figured out how can see them in Handbrake and make clips. I only have N&S, V&D and RH on DVD. I'm waiting for Spooks to wrap up and then I'll buy the whole boxet. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-87306397880656123222011-05-04T19:16:35.355-05:002011-05-04T19:16:35.355-05:00@tyme_4_t-- Oooo!

I must have heard that tune before but it wasn't very familiar so I forgot about it! What a great suggestion! I like the Pogues's version very much too! Thanks for the link!<br />@Avalon-- I love that movie! I haven't seen it in a long time. Early Gyllenhaal! :)Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-30388524683050332372011-05-04T10:45:21.662-05:002011-05-04T10:45:21.662-05:00Great post, reminds me October Sky.
