I try to not post about the same thing in two consecutive entries, but it's hard to do when ALL I've been watching and listening to is S&G-related, haha. Anyway, I posted another entry that I've been working on for a while, and since it's not one of the more exciting ones, I'm ok with it just being filler between two Paul Simon posts, hahah.
So I found the following video the other day...It's about the recording of Graceland. It's fascinating! All of Paul Simon's albums are so well-produced and it's awesome to see how many different elements can go into one song alone. I can't believe I never really heard those backing vocals before...they are so obviously there! I love discovering new things in songs I've heard countless times. I really don't think I will ever tire of Graceland...It is seriously one of the best albums ever.

Also, I had this saved in a notepad document and decided to do it because I was slightly bored:
Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. Pass it on to at least 10 people and include me. You can't use the band I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think!
