I got to thinking that music is a good way to represent ideas and feelings — <duh> — and since we have so much music that people often ask for recommendations I thought I would pick one song daily and share it with the world.

But what criteria should I use? Should I go with the first thing that pops up in the morning? Maybe, but what if there were a more significant thought process? What if it represented something that happened during the day, or the week? I quickly decided on the day’s news. So, as an experiment, I’ll try and choose a song every day that exemplifies one news story of the day and try and explain the choice.

I’ll keep it simple and call it “Music du Jour”. Enjoy.
