What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two). | ||||||

Faithful / Todd Rundgren | |
Faithful is a kind of mirror on my life and my taste in music. I played the hell out of my copy of the 1976 LP, or to be more accurate I played the hell out of side A. That was the side that had covers of a whole bunch of pop hits, most memorably a version of The Beach Boys' Good Vibrations that was as perfect a copy as Rundgren's studio wizardry could produce. Side B was original music, which to that other me wasn't nearly as compelling. Now I'm more impressed by the creative artistry on the flip side (do they still call it that?) than the mere technical skill that first caught my attention. There's probably a really good metaphor for life and aging and maturity and wisdom in there. Another thirty years and I might figure out what it is. | |
