regional man of mystery believer in Phil Collins era Genesis supremacy remember Callin Oates?

Of all the reasons to hate listening to Smoltz on air (boring, obvious or wrong insights) the worst has to be his general disposition. It’s like he’s mad he has to do this. Almost as if he rear-ended Manfred and had no insurance so a judge sentenced him to call baseball games.

happy 40th to one of the most underrated (and certainly under appreciated in its time) Elvis Costello albums, Blood & Chocolate. the wax can barely contain the raw energy of the recording. The CD sounds ok too, but more like a pristine display at a museum, behind glass. Get it on vinyl if you can!
