We're spinning Pretzel Logic and Gaucho - on vinyl, naturally.

Meredith tells me that "I want rather badly to cover 'With a Gun' from Pretzel Logic, but the damned song has 14 chords in it, one of which is physically impossible for me to play. I'm hoping Dave can help me figure out a transposition that will allow me to pull it off with the help of a capo. What the fuck kind of song has 14 chords? The Ramones got by with two or three!"

Blimey, Walter Becker RIP, that came from nowhere like a not-nice surprise.

Sharp, bright, witty (very witty), understated, foil to Donald, and a bassist to boot.

Odd as it is I never clicked nor got in the groove with them but I respect their quality.
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.
