Such a flawlessly scathing song, and a pitch-perfect video. I cannot get enough. Adele’s sophomore album 21 is out in the States next week, and she also stopped by NPR’s Tiny Desk Sessions for Valentine’s Day. A little bitter regret to go with your candy hearts.

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson
Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.

That song “Someone Like You” (the first in the Tiny Desk Concert) has destroyed me about two dozen in the last week.

Thank you for this, Heather. A lovely little gig… great music. ‘Someone Like You’ hit the spot here, too.

Love Adele, and thank you so much for posting the NPR session. Great stuff. She just seems to be getting better and better.
Staying with the “bittersweet” theme, her performance of Someone Like you from last weeks BRITs is, I would say, the epitome of bittersweetness.

She defines originality. She doesn’t sound like any other artist out there right now.
