A few days ago, I heard "The sun ain't gonna shine anymore" by The Walker Brothers. It was a great tune. I love the harmony and arrangement. It was also a big international hit.

Here...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_(Scott_Walker_album) I've just been listening to this album for the first time in ages, but instead of a small CD player, I was listening through the church sound system where I work. For all those who call Noel Scott Engel's later works "obtuse", "scary" and "boring", they really should try this. Whilst not as accessible as the pop of...

At dusk, heading toward Salt Lake City's downtown urban center of bling, i.e., The Gateway, reflective orange-and-white striped traffic bollards led me on a detour around the backside of muted buildings, over an abandoned railroad track and onto a short but well-worn road.

Wandering around the area was fun, though, and I can distinctly remember racing down...
