Listening to Van Morrison's Astral Weeks (the song over and over) and Neutral Milk Hotel's Ghost (from In the Aeroplane Over the Sea) right now.
Glen Hansard's cover of Astral Weeks. The sound is not so great, but hey, you have two chances to hear it 'coz I'm so obsessive about it right now that I'm including two separate versions of it. Cha!
Here's the inimitable Lester Bang's review of Astral Weeks, although to call it a review doesn't do justice to what Bangs has actually written. Bangs, by the way, was the inspiration for my thesis. My thought after reading Main Lines, Blood Feasts, and Bad Taste was hey, where's the theater criticism that's written like this?
And here's Ghost.
