Clare, in Clare and the Reasons, is Clare Muldaur, daughter of Maria and Geoff. Here she sings in defense of Pluto, the little put-upon planet that scientists say may not actually rate being called a planet. Listening to the French version, “Pluton,” on her MySpace page, with its dreamy use of a theramin sound, I get a sense that this was intended to be the missing final part of Holst’s suite The Planets, which was composed before Pluto had been discovered.

Speaking of 60’s fashions (see previous post), blog reader Lía Pamina, a lady of Spain and self-described 60’s retro girl, has a couple of delightful new recordings, singing the Beatles songs “Tomorrow Never Knows” and “You Like Me Too Much.” They’re produced by Robbie Leff, of the 60’s garage band The Crabs. Bravo, Lía!
