FMM: A knife and a Carpenter

One of my favorite CDs in the 90s was "If I were a Carpenter."

Being a fan of both The Carpenters and modern artists, this CD successfully and seamlessly blended these two favorites of mine. What they did was ask modern bands to reinterpret classics by Karen and Richard Carpenter. And the results were spectacular.

And my favorite among the lot? Shonen Knife's cover of "Top of the World."



How can you not enjoy that?

Plus, on the subject of the Carpenters, my Mom - who's a Carpenter fan - is celebrating her birthday today.

Happy Birthday, Mom!
