inevitable that i thow an OtR selection into this little experiment? first off, i listen to OtR all the time... there is such a depth, breadth and wealth to their music that it still amazes me at times. i just can't believe that there are so many that haven't found it, that don't "get it."
"eve" is a classic, if not brilliant piece of work. from the opening track "happy with myself," to the spare and beautiful closing with the "hidden" track "bothered." as as said early on, one of the biggest drawbacks to "i-poding" is the tendency to listen to "songs" not "albums" and records like this one suffer the most from that bad habit. honestly, there is not one weak track on this record, not a single one. and it seems, the more i listen to it, which i will have to do more often, the better it gets.
it was a beautiful night for a long walk, this weather makes you just wanna stay out and play. my grass is dying from lack of rain (but, i haven't had to mow it in a week! :=) ) and i'm having to water the trees i planted last fall, but man, it's good for a nice, long walk.
and for what it's worth, i received a great report from my recent visit to the cardiologist. he was very happy w/the resuts from my exam and EKG, my cholesterol is at a very healthy 121 (it was approaching 300 about 2 years ago at this time when my heart nearly exploded), he's put off my next stress test for a year and is considering reducing some of my medication.
"i'm happy with myself, i'm happy with myself..."
oh yeah, some jackass apparently snagged my sweet little "lumix" camera and i had to replace it. i've been eying this sweet, sexy little thing for a while and it's as cool as i thought it would be. it's 10.1MP w/a 3-1 schneider zoom lens, spiffy, high tech and easy to use menus. and at about the size and weight of a razr cell phone it's perfect to throw in your pocket. woo-hoo, can't wait to go out and play with it.
