You know who’s awesome? Suzanne Vega.
Fun fact: The DNA remix of “Tom’s Diner” was the first cassette single I ever bought. My mom hated that song–particularly the repetitive “duh-duh-DUH-duh” chorus–but I thought it was creepy and funky and irresistible.
Even better, the song became my gateway to Vega’s incredible music, which is consistently literate, surprising, and moving.
And now, on her semi-regular blog for The New York Times, Vega explains her process as she writes a song. I love getting this glimpse into her work, and I love how it’s equal parts emotional and intellectual. I can’t wait until this song is finished!
