Song of the day

I may have to come up with some better criteria for these choices than the fact that they happen to come up on my iPod shuffle, but that’s what this one did, first thing this morning. It’s Laura Marling’s “My Manic & I,” which is a weird way to kick off the day. (“Morning is mocking me.”) Below is a live version, a little less polished than the official version (which has embedding disabled), but still pretty damn terrific.
