TMC returns from May Sabbatical


Touch My Clickwheel, or at least Jess, has returned from the May Sabbatical. Lauren has still never joined the TMC blog and is forever banished from the internet. However, banishment is not really necessary since Oklahoma doesn't really do the "internet," as they call it. Kidding. We love you, Lauren. Kate, the other TMC co-host, is missing in the Midwest. Will she come back to DC? Rumors suggest so.

But back to music, Touch My Clickwheel is here for this summer. I haven't settled on a timeslot yet, but I'll let you know. I was in the radio station today, because I needed to use a computer and this song was playing Martha Wainwright's "Whither Must I Wander". It's actually a Robert Louis Stevenson poem of the same title from 1896's Songs of Travel and Other Verses which was then set to music by Ralph Vaughan Williams in his 1903 collection, Songs of Travel. Interestingly, the song was written for a baritone voice.

Buy Martha Wainwright's self-titled album here.
