I believe I was already documented online a year or two ago, including "Four Seasons" on some goofy all-time-favorite-songs list I had to do for XPN. And I'm surprised that our mutual admiration for Maria McKee's and Shawn Colvin's voices wasn't already discussed over the past couple of years. I think at the time of that list I chose "I Should've Known" as my representative song from Whatever, but it could have just as easily been "All Over Now". Easily in my top few albums of all time. Which brings me to... (I've been thinking I should post the following opinionated endorsement somewhere online, so this is as good a time as any!) Have you heard the great cover of Jon & Aimee's song "I Believe She's Lying" on Rhett Miller's new disc? It's tres fine, and reminds me what a great songwriting combo they were. It appeared on Jon's 2001 album "Meaningless" and I liked it then, but Rhett's version really makes the song come together for me... not exactly classic Rhett Miller; instrumentation sounds almost more like Gin Blossoms (which is not a bad thing either), but it sure is classic Jon/Aimee wordplay. Sorry for rambling as usual.

Songs 1 and 2 are "Superball" and "Amateur" and producer Jon Brion expertly ties it all together by slipping lines from "All Over Now" into "Superball" and then the chorus of "Superball" into the end of "All Over Now". So subtle you might miss it and when you hear it - brilliant. ************ I've listened to this album about a million times and never noticed those details. Dammit, I love Jon Brion.

Every time I'm lucky enough to hear Neil Finn perform it live, I get chills, chills, chills. When the brilliant show "Homicide: Life on the Street" was still on, they featured great music in many of their episodes. I always felt that "Four Seasons..." would have been a great choice for them. Speaking of Homicide, I cannot wait to see "Thief" tonight - I need my Andre Braugher fix.
