2007-11-09 - 10:54 a.m. L.A. Times* versus The Onion: who to believe?? *(might have to register, but it will not make a scary roaring sound) Why God Invented iTunes Shuffle, or "Everybody's Got a Long Tail. C'mon, Simone, Let's Talk About Your Long Tail" The first few times I heard the National's Boxer earlier this year, I liked it enough to make note of it, but was soon distracted by other new releases. But last night I was startled anew by the song "Fake Empire" (available for listening at that MySpace link), a truly lovely song. I am similarly mildly awed every time something by Harmonia comes up on shuffle, even though on the first few listens I just liked 'em ok. I shall never get over the beauty and wonder of iTunes. Also: Joe Lally's second album is really nice, very subtle, much like last year's debut solo record.
