I guard the gates here

spatch took a picture of me driving last night. I am evidently in a crime film by Michael Mann.



I am continuing to listen to WHRB most of the time I'm in the car, since their classical programming is just as interesting to me as their late-night trawling of assorted deep cuts and novelties. Recent discoveries include 3rd Bass' "Product of the Environment" (1989), Eduard Tubin's Symphony No. 7 (1958), The Last's "Lies" (1980), Manuel de Falla's El retablo de maese Pedro (1923), and Billy Barton's "The Devil, My Conscience and I" (1958), which even following an unsuccessful attempt to play the Maddox Brothers and Rose's "Stop Whistling Wolf" (1957)—too many record scratches; even rockabilly doesn't deliberately hiccup that much—I was in no way prepared for.
