"My Repair"

I was really pleased when I first heard this song, a duet of The Noises and Brandi Carlile, last year. It might be better than any of the collaborations from her most recent album. Brandi's oft-dominating voice combines with Jason Scavone's in a great harmony. It is a little muted here --- played in a live venue --- compared to the studio recording and there are a couple of misplaced pauses or too-drawn-out notes, but it is nonetheless a nice performance. It also helps that it's a great little tune in a lyrical sense, with a catchy, short rhyming scheme.
