Now this is just embarrassing. This is for sure one of the finest albums that I have had the pleasure of buying recently, and the fact that I've only listened to it ONCE is unacceptable. Let me explain...
Last year, I got really into Sparks. Like, super into Sparks. Like "every morning I'm going to listen to "Number 1 in Heaven." So imagine my delight when I saw there was a repressing that was 25% off at Newbury Comics in the space between Winter Finals (2011 Edition) and flying home for the holidays (fitting that this LP contains the holiday favorite "Thank God It's Not Christmas".)
So after a delicious dinner at Teriyaki House and some music at the Lily Pad, I came home and instead put on the Bitch Magnet set I also bought that day. Before I knew it, it was 2 days later and I had to fly home, so this was the album I listened to while I packed hours before my flight.
Returning from the Midwest with more LPs, this one just got kind of put on the shelf, which is totally unacceptable. And it's not that I don't know the album - I've been listening to it on the iTunes for some time now, but in terms of the whole "vinyl experience" (which is why we're here, right?,) I was certainly denying myself hours of enjoyment with this album - even if it's covered in weird slivers of paper from the sleeve...
Also, those dudes lighting firecrackers on my street right now should probably stop. I don't want anyone to catch on fire or go blind on my watch.
