Aimee Mann and the McGarrigles don’t show up often enough on FRTs, and two lovely tracks from each are here. You can’t have been 13 in 1980, as I was — desperately insecure and hormonal — and not love track #4. And I play the “Hair” soundtrack more often than that from any other musical, even more than “Jesus Christ Superstar.” And I continue to fall for Rosie Thomas.
