Animals in the Dark opens the free, 21-and-over show at 10 p.m. Find out what Lovers loves below, where vocalist Carolyn Berk has put her MP3 player on random shuffle.  1) “Now's the Only Time I Know” • Fever Ray • Fever Ray “Moody and fantastical and so Northern European.”  2) “Born on a Train” • The Magnetic Fields • The Charm of the Highway Strip "The Charm of the Highway Strip is such a great album. I love this song.”
 3) “The Emperor's New Clothes” • Sinéad O'Connor • I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got “Well, Sinéad O'Connor is a major inspiration for me. I'm grateful for all the work she's done, and this song is so bold and brave. It's a perfect example of her honesty and genius.”  4) “Lover Lover Lover” • Leonard Cohen • New Skin for the Old Ceremony “This song might have made me a better lover. I love Cohen for his depth and generosity.”  5) “Dark Eyes” • Bob Dylan • Empire Burlesque “I had a Chinese medicine doctor who loved this song, so I bought the album. It's totally lovely.” Public Comments |
