Song of the Day: Simon and Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair (Pop/Traditional)

Here's another little piece of my music history. During they years between my Celtic and J-pop days, I spent a ton of time on a website called Playlist.com. The concept of the site is that you search for specific songs or artists and find similar pieces, putting all the music you like into online playlists. During that time I listened to a lot of random music, including pop, soundtracks, and some really weird Japanese stuff now that I think about it. But anyway, I was still listening to a lot of Celtic music at the time, which led me to the song Scarborough fair, and eventually, to the rendition done by Simon and Garfunkel. I haven't heard a version I didn't like, but in my opinion, theirs is the best; I remember being particularly enchanted, and still am. I never really went back to Simon and Garfunkel, especially after the past few years of my listening to Electronic music. However, this blog is doing wonders for my nostalgia, and I'm remembering a lot of music I wouldn't have if I didn't  think up nice songs for you all. So, go ahead and click the link below to listen.
