BBC Symphony, Chorus, and Singers - Auld Lang Syne

Out with the old, in with the new.

The Moody Blues - Peak Hour (Live)

A band known for its studio recordings performs live on TV in 1967. Not bad.

Krugman on BitCoin

As you might have suspected, the fact that it's not a scam doesn't mean it's a good idea. Krugman explains.

I have had and am continuing to have a dialogue with smart technologists who are very high on BitCoin — but when I try to get them to explain to me why BitCoin is a reliable store of value, they always seem to come back with explanations about how it’s a terrific medium of exchange. Even if I buy this (which I don’t, entirely), it doesn’t solve my problem. And I haven’t been able to get my correspondents to recognize that these are different questions.

Cat Stevens - Sad Lisa

Yet more boomer music. I've posted this song before, but only the Kermit the Frog version. Here's the original. The ending is cut short, but you can't have everything, I guess.

Jackson Browne - Doctor My Eyes & These Days

More boomer stuff. BBC 1978, so it looks like the Running on Empty band.

Yusef Lateef - Like It Is

RIP Yusef Lateef, who was never as well-known to the world at large as people likes Mile Davis but was widely respected by his fellow jazz musicians. Ninety-three is a good age.

Charles Brown - Merry Christmas Baby
