labellementeuseDid you know there are people who actually prefer Artie's solo work to Paul's?
I'm just. I'm SPEECHLESS.
Wait, no I'm not. Really? "Garfunkel" is better than "Graceland"? Are you really going to commit to that? Do not get me wrong: Artie has an incredible voice, he's talented, Benedictus is one of my favourite songs and I think, for example, a lot of the songs on "The Paul Simon Songbook" really suffer in comparison to their later recordings with the duo instead of Paul solo.
On the other hand? "The Paul Simon Songbook" was recorded in an hour, and a lot of it is original content, and it's still an awesome album. Artie just can't say that about any of his solo work.
This post brought to you by Amazon reviews. On the plus side, I finally found out where one of the songs on my zillion burned, unlabelled, sans track names or any kind of identifying information, Simon & Garfunkel songs is from (It's Wonderful World - not the song you're thinking of - on one of Artie's solo albums *but* it does feature Paul, which was why I was so confused - it sounds like an S&G song) AND figured out that one of them is Gone At Last which I have been jonesing on lately - I'll call that a win.
For the record: I would probably pay money to get my hands on Cuba Si, Nixon No and non-DRM protected versions of any of the Tom & Jerry songs. Anyone want to bribe me? that would totally be how. Especially Cuba Si, Nixon No which AFAIK is not legally available ANYWHERE. The Tom & Jerry stuff I could possibly get with some effort.
