A few words about music

Recently, I returned that Monty Python book to Gail Borden Library and decided to do something I'd never done before there -- check out its music section.

All three of the items posted here are special because they are albums produced by the artists. I get why it's tempting to purchase "best of" compilations to save money, but there are albums where the arrangement of songs in the order chosen is integral how they are meant to be heard.  

Together through Life seems to be just such an album. While Red Rubber Ball and Castaways and Cutouts lead with their strongest songs and then peter out, Together is a joy to listen to all the way through.
