I had no idea Melissa Manchester was still recording!
Also, I’m pretty sure I was the last person on the planet to hear “Espresso.” The first time was only a few weeks ago…and it promptly got stuck in my head.
Ha - forgot to write a little blurb about Nada Surf, but Kevin did a great job of that in his top 5 albums of the year post. I think he even referenced this song. I'll send you my next one now before I forget!:) Happy holidaze, Dan!

Yes, Melissa is still recording and she still sounds great! I’ve posted at least one of her songs on your weekly “what am I listening to” lists.
Also, had no idea Melissa Manchester had new music - will have to check it out! It's always good to support the legends who are still bringing it!
Her most recent album features re-recordings of some of her most significant songs.

Thank you Steve! I *love* this song, and getting to see the band play—and Matthew Caws’ story behind the song— was a gift.
Thanks! You too Steve!
Merry Christmas! For me, song number 8 of the year is Ice Cream Piano by Vampire Weekend.
Nice! Merry Christmas to you too Lou!
