They really liked that punctuation-by-stabby-hornblasts thing in the 50s arrangements. Pity, some otherwise fine albums now are marred by it (imo).

the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

The Highwomen



What a wonderful album!  Contemporary country at its best.  Favorite song is "Highwomen" [Yes a rewrite of "Highwayman" but way more than that.  It brought me to tears.].  Please do yourself a favor and check it out.  Also, do check out their amazing cover of Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" which they performed on Howard Stern's Sirius XFM show.  He's uploaded it to youtube.  Gorgeous harmony and a great arrangement.  :)

Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Yesterday I revisited Elton John's 17 - 11 - 70 after decades of neglect. I had forgotten just how good an album it is, and as a result, @Gurn Blanston pointed me to:

Gurn is wise. For my money, Tumbleweed Connection is Elton's very best album.

Need to give that one a go soon.

And your ears must be burning:  I'm currently listening to one of his albums.  :)
