carly simon? yep.

And today readers, I bring you a Carly Simon track. That’s right, the “You’re So Vain” lady. But hey, stick around, this is and 8-minute balaero-gem, which I found on studio’s blog this weekend. It’s cheesily produced, with reggae singed guitar edges and electric bass with a little bit of slap about it. It sidles across the beach with the gentle swing of hips and bare feet on sand, dancing slowly in winding circles in a golden sunset lit by fire…

Carly Simon – Why? (Extended Mix)
