Radio Musicola

An accomplished album in all respects, it deals with subjects of integrity - media skepticism (particularly towards tabloid journalism), privacy, insecurity and mass produced run-of-the-mill pop ("Why can't you let us do it like JONI does it? There you go again, giving it your very best - trying so hard to make it sound like all the rest"). The subject is reflected in the thought-out cover art concept as well; particularly the LP release which features 1950's style spoof advertisements with the song titles woven in, only some of which was replicated in the CD booklet.
