a couple of hours after the 'She and Him' post, inspired to listen to 'transistor radio' again and I'm struck once more by what a beautifully recorded album this is. I just love the sound of it and I remember playing it on vinyl for the first time and the sound being so warm and fuzzy and just perfect for this record.
the way the songs blend into each other is sublime, 'hi-fi' giving way to 'fuel for fire' gets me every time.
just bliss.
one man. one cd player. one turntable. one set of ears. one opinion.
