It's a song written by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan, as a soldier's letter home from the Iraq War, called “Day After Tomorrow.” Copy and paste this into your browser to listen:<BR/><BR/>http://odeo.com/show/16514253/1104965/download/Untitled-WedSep05163756UTC2007.mp3<BR/><BR/>Inspired by Tom's album recommendations, let's all do a "What I'm listening to now" post, so popular with all the youngsters today. <BR/><BR/>Here's mine: Beirut - "The Flying Club Cup."<BR/>Beirut is the name of a band led by 21-year-old kid from Santa Fe named Zach Condon, who was apparently inspired by Balkan gypsy music. I like the instrumentation: a mix of cello, accordion, mandolin, ukulele, violin, baritone sax, glockenspiel, trumpet and euphonium.
