The Beatles - Abbey Road (September 1969)

Yesterday I reactivated my long dormant Apple Records listening project. The last album I heard a while back was Billy Preston's That's The Way God Planned It from August 1969. Coming up next is the Modern Jazz Quartet. It's becoming increasingly apparent that The Beatles' business model was to let their masterpieces subsidize a lot of eclectic music that otherwise would never have seen the light of day. It's too bad they let the whole enterprise run aground with bad management.

They were too busy suing Apple Computer.

Rosie Vela - Zazu (1986)

Disclaimer: I'm not really a huge Steely Dan fan. That said, this album did hold some interest for me because Donald Fagen and Walter Becker appear together here, six years into their 20 year hiatus. Well, I needn't have bothered and neither should the firm of Becker & Fagen. Fashion models tend not to be great vocalists, and Rosie's thin voice survives only thanks to a lot of 80's style studio gimmickry.

on the Sam-O-Meter. I prefer ZaSu to Zazu anyway.

Maybe turn off your AC so you can hear the quiet parts.

There are quiet parts?

No AC needed here, at the moment.

P. S. Someone is running a dryer off in the distance, tho'.

I think others would like this one, as well.
