Remember Suzanne Vega? ‘Do do do do do do doo, do do do do do do do doo’…? No? Okay, how about ‘My name is Luka, I live on the second floor’? Ahhh, are we on the same page now? Good.
I mentioned the Sundance channel’s ‘Live From Abbey Road’ series last week when Kate Nash was the guest. Well, this Thursday Suzanne is the special guest and she’ll be performing selections from Solitude Standing, including ‘Luka’ and ‘Tom’s Diner’ (the do do do do do do doo song). You can see a preview of the performance here, and the entire thing this Thursday at 10pm E/P.

While I’ve never been a dedicated Suzanne Vega listener, I have to say “Nine Objects Of Desire” is a kick ass album - it made me re-evaluate her as an artist. Definitely recommended.
