Monday Morning Diversion: Remembering Jay Bennett

We're still reeling a bit from last night's news of Jay Bennett's passing. We've been blasting Summerteeth all day and we'll move on to The Palace at 4 a.m. this evening. In the meantime, here are some excellent videos to remember Jay - and his excellent musical gift - by. You can also download his new record, Whatever Happened, I Apologized, for free here.

Co-architect of history's best album: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

"Tall buildings shake,
Voices escape singing sad sad songs,
Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks,
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around."

Thank you for the music, Jay.
