4. Here Comes One, by Lavender DiamondTaken as a whole, this album is a bit thin, but there are some real stand-out tracks. The piano in this one is irresistable to me (ditto the tiny dashes of new wave synth). Also, "You have opened your heart with your mind"?

yesterday's lunch, stealing the shade of nice healthy oak to take a lil' cat nap for myself. i put on album 88 to listen to some tunes, but instead, a sweet girl talking about string theory, energy flow, hope for humanity, power of individuality, imposition of life, loving the ground, excitement for renaissance.i listened to "becky" and completely agreed, wishing i could be as articulate and s...
