Saw the production on which this album is based and decided I had to have the music. Since then, I have passed it around to many friends who really enjoy it on its own merits. Makes me want to try more Gloria Deluxe.

Ms. Deluxe strikes again in this wistful meditation on what it is like to be a human being, among other Glorious topics. It goes without saying that you should buy this album for yourself and all your progeny, no matter what age. Many things in theory go without saying and so, in theory, I will not say them. But really, if you never said anything at all that went without saying then you wouldn't have much left to say, would you? So much of our chattering is just that - filling the air with blah blah blah and so forth and so on in some vain attempt to actually connect to another human being. As if. Oh well. Life is short and my fuse is even shorter so don't get me started. Just kidding. Anyway, I feel like I've gotten off the track a little, but that's my whole point - life is too short to stay on the track all the time. You'll get to the end of the track soon enough. So while you have a chance, why don't you wander off the track from time to time and look around? And that's exactly what Gloria and I mean when we say "Accidental Nostalgia." We mean that there is no time like the present. And there is no present like time.
