Business…here’s a real simple way to tell who’s gonna win the Super Bowl. And they say prognostication is hard…
Love to stay, but I just got an Airport Express. It’s a classy lil device that lets me wirelessly run songs from iTunes through my home system (which I have modestly named The Thunderdome II). So what I’m doing now is listening to a bunch of stuff I’ve never gotten to jam on a full-on system. For music nerds like me, that can take up a lot of attention.
One recommendation–check out the new Beatles compilation Love. That’s the remix/mashup record George and Giles Martin did for Cirque de Soleil. The arrangements aren’t drastically different from the originals, but the songs are all remastered, making them perfect for Dolby 5.1. It’s worth peeping for all the Beatlephiles out there, and it doesn’t serve as a bad introduction for the uninitiated. The originals aren’t like these tracks, but they’re not foreign.
(Thanks again, boss.)
And just in case you’re out there–Prince, it’s time for you to have some of your old stuff remastered. Maybe you have already, but I’d really like to hear what Dirty Mind would have sounded like with full production. And can you imagine Sign O The Times with digital sound?
