Who will I get my news from now?

It's a series I'd like to catch up with at some point -- the Ron Moore-Bear McCreary collaboration is a draw -- but in this so-called "golden age" of television I can keep up with only so many shows. I've listened to this a few times today -- it's pretty solid, though nothing really stands out. For the sake of making a haphazard comparison, Lee Holdridge's The Mists of Avalon strikes me as a better listen.

Loving the Davis piece...

The (quasi-) annual Mari (Kathy) post! Thanks everyone, and of course best wishes to the Maestro! You could have demanded to leave earlier, you know. Happy early birthday, anyway.

Drive (Martinez) Cars (Newman) Rush Hour (Schifrin) Traffic (Martinez)

Ah, my bad, you might have to catch me up on that one.

Same. I think it's the descending, "sighing" second half. It's weirdly melodramatic and doesn't seem to fit with the more chant-like, plaintive beginning. Yes.

Reviews printed in Georgia typeface have more credibility.

How come?

Count me in among the schlemiels.
