Today’s Music du Jour is “Limelight” by Rush (cool website too, btw). Todays stories in the NY Times: Bush & Clinton in Toronto facing off during hockey playoff season. And… LEDs, the future of lighting?

This is the 1st Music du Jour post so there’s a bit of pressure. I have a few things to choose from: 1) comment on Microsoft’s Bing?… nah. 2) Everyone’s talking about Sotomayor… good possibility 3) What about the Pentagon and Cyber-security?… might get scanned or something 4) Berlusconi’s escapades?… could be, and finally 5) Doing more for less in the hard times. Well, since it’s the weekend and still officially spring let’s not dwell on negatives and let’s go with sex! The Music du Jour is absolute FUNK by on of the funkiest groups ever — the Funkadelics and “Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On“. It asks, “People, whatchya doin’?” They respond, “Standin’ on the verge of gettin’ it on!”.

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.
