Things you notice 34 years later

Driving home from work this song came up on my iPod, it was Heart's cover but here is the original.



While listening to the intro I was reminded of the intro to this song.



Cannot believe I have not made the connection until now.

Then I found this online.



I'm glad someone else did too.

71 If

Look Through Any Window

That's the view from my desk at work when I look to the right. Been busy getting settled into the new space. All is well so far.

Thinking about this, which happened in this city six years ago.

And any history of this day has to include another event. All I'll say about it is simply, shine on.

Brand Extension

Picked this up on cd yesterday. Yoko is now officially scraping the bottom of the barrel with all the remasters and compliations that have been released in the thirty years since John's death. This one though, a Stripped Down version of Double Fantasy, is worth seeking out. Lennon's voice is brought up way up in the mix and a lot of the extraneous noise (choirs, for example) has been taken out. This works well on a few of the songs with a major difference on Woman and turns the rest of side two into a naked mess. I like Starting Over most and Yoko's Give Me Something works with this raw polishing.

You also get a remastered version of the original included. A decent twofer.
