Music Monday: The soundtrack to rainy day data analysis.

I've found the perfect accompaniment to the sound of numbers crunching.

With rain streaking down the lab windows.. with my woolen-socked feet in wellies and my jacket dripping behind my chair.. with my computer monitor stacked with open programs and As and Ts and Gs and Cs dancing across the screen, Jack Savoretti is inspiring my science this week

Here is one of the tracks I love from his debut release Between the Minds (2007):


And here's one from his latest album Harder Than Easy (2009):


My favorite song of his is called "Songs from different times", which was apparently featured on last week's Grey's Anatomy, but I could not find a video for it. It's worth the $0.99 on iTunes!

I heard Jack last year when he was on Corinne Rae Bailey's UK tour-- awesome. And yes, good for rainy day quiet work!!! Have not heard the new album yet, how does it compare to first?

PS: Captcha word: "unthin". Can I just write FAT?

DrG - I really like it, it's equivalent to the acoustic version of 1st. I do prefer him with just a guitar.
