Last night, BBC4 showed a concert by Ray LaMontagne. I've just been watching it off the PVR. A few songs in, he got to a number which I hadn't heard before. It's called "Be Here Now".

If you're not familiar with it, play the youtube video below. Hang on for the first minute or so: it takes a while for the melody to get going. There's no need to listen beyond the first verse or two, though - just stick around long enough to familiarise yourself, OK?




Now, does that li'l toon remind you of anything...?


Of course it does!




Bloody little thief!
I'm surprised the George Harrison estate hasn't sued Whispering Ray's beard off by now.

That first song is soooooooooooooooooooooo boring. I can't stand it.

Thought of that right off as soon as I heard the first guy's opening guitar riff. I really thought he was going to do a slow cover of "If I needed Some One." Silly me!

Maybe he wasin the same mood as George was when he wrote "My Sweet Lord"...
