The Roxython continues over at Bill Sherman’s, where he juxtaposes an eloquent review of Roxy Music’s third album, Stranded, with an extremely funny run-down of overused words found in Roxy reviews. Isn’t it that kind of conjunction of the unexpected that made “Mother of Pearl” such a great song, Bill?
(BTW, gentlemen, a propos of Roxy’s gorgeous album covers, I seem to recall rather thoroughly, ahem, enjoying the cover of Country Life when it appeared in Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Album Covers issue when I was in seventh grade or so… )
