Did you see the Samamidon Toad Session? He talks about them at the start a lot, and then bookends 1842 with excerpts from The Rich People Want What the Poor People Got. Fucking brilliant!

Why does Dav's avatar keep changing colour? He was a wispy grey yesterday, now he's a camp-as-fairy-lights pink.

Why does Dav’s avatar keep changing colour?

He was a wispy grey yesterday, now he’s a camp-as-fairy-lights pink.

I don't really understand where you're coming from Dylan, why's it so bad? The Central Park album is great (it’s a big party really) and the sound quality is, as Matthew said, pretty damn good.

Hell, I even love Art Garfunkel singing <Bright Eyes</i>, but that Central Park live album makes me want to climb a clock tower with a high-powered rifle and shoot at all the silly little live-album-buying specks walking around on the streets below. It sounds like it was recorded on someone's dictaphone a couple of streets away, and they accidentally put the dictaphone through the washing machine before transferring the recoridng to CD. And as for the performances from Messrs. Simon and Garfunkel, well there was more life in the organic yoghurt I just had for breakfast. It really is one of the live albums that helped form my abject hatred of them.
