Heavy Rotation... that sounds like a good name for a bimonthly music collection....<br />

<br />Anyway, the big surprise that has popped back into my lineup is Paul Simon&#39;s <em>Surprise</em>. It&#39;s an appropriate title. I&#39;ve been starting to enjoy a little more of Simon&#39;s music - eccentric as he is - and took a gamble on this. It&#39;s solid. It&#39;s textured and mature, and has a lot of great, deep hooks that stick in my head for days. Plus, lyrics that are just fabulous (&quot;Who&#39;s gonna love you when your looks are gone?&quot;, &quot;You can not walk with the holy if you&#39;re just a halfway decent man&quot;) The whole thing does indeed have Brian Eno written all over it, but that&#39;s good: it&#39;s a solid combination of Simon&#39;s pop sensibilities (and near-misses, of course) with Eno&#39;s layering and diverse instrumentation.</p><p>I guess the biggest surprise about it is that it&#39;s held up well for me over the past few months. I suspect I&#39;ll be able to return to it in a few years and still feel strongly about it. It&#39;s speaking more to my Adult-with-a-capital-A side, versus a lot of the pop music I enjoy that just speaks to the here and now.<br /> <p><br /></p></p>   <p style="clear:both;">
