Suzanne Vega recently has been writing some good articles for a New York Times blog.  This one is about her song, “Tom’s Diner”, and it’s travels through culture and technology.  By accident of history, it was a popular, a cappella, rhythmically interesting but simple song at the time when remixing and the audio compression (ie mp3) were first becoming broadly useful to society.

I’m on my way to listen to Tom’s Album now, an album Vega put together from the first batch of remixes.
