I’ve been hearing Paul Simon everywhere lately in the sound of new musicians. This post over at LETTER TO JANE, on Vampire Weekend’s “Giant”, highlights its appearance in that song. And a good friend sent me Jeremy Fisher’s “Scar That Never Heals” on blip.fm and I can’t help but think of “Cecilia” and “Me and Julio Down by the School Yard” when I listen to it.
Now obviously Paul Simon is still alive and still making great music. But it is great to see newer musicians take that sound and use it too.
