Hearing God Only Knows -- Petra Haden

Something Pretty to Start Your Monday




An acapella cover of the Beach Boy's "God Only Knows," by Petra Haden (2.4 MB mp3). Perfect for reminding yourself there are people you'd be lost without.

If you visit Haden's site, you can also hear a streaming acapella version of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" song. Very clever.

    It is. Clearly, I think the song applies to her. From my perspective, at least.

    Throwing in the qualifier that I can't surf with my glasses on in the morning because of sunrise/reflection issues that come from the location of my desk... I thought that girl in the pic was your wife.
