In Praise of Whistling in Pop Music
  + stars: | 2024-01-23 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
On Monday, Joel announced he’ll be releasing his first new pop single in nearly two decades next week. While listening to “The Stranger” over the weekend, I found myself considering the pop musical whistle. It’s such a simple expression, but in a song it can convey a wide range of feelings and tones. While we await Joel’s latest, “Turn the Lights Back On” (which may or may not feature a whistle break), today’s playlist is a homage to the pop musical whistle, in all its glory and multitudes. And if you don’t know how to whistle along, you can always consult Lauren Bacall.

It is enough time to listen to the Spice Girls’ “Spice” album (40 minutes), Paul Simon’s “Paul Simon” album (42 minutes) and Gustav Mahler’s third symphony (his longest). It is enough time to roast a chicken, text your friends that you’ve roasted a chicken and prepare for an impromptu dinner party. Five hours is about how long many workers spend on email each day. It’s a weird thing, workplace chatter like email and Slack: It’s sometimes the most delightful and human part of the work day. It can also be mind-numbing to manage your inbox — to the extent you might wonder, couldn’t a robot do this?
MEMPHIS, Tenn.—I settled into one of the giant black rocking chairs on the screened-in porch in my room at Big Cypress Lodge a few hours after check in. Rushing waterfalls in the distance soothed me after a day of Thanksgiving travel. Paul Simon’s “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” provided a chill soundtrack. An overhead announcement jolted me back to reality.
