(TV) OCD part II

[Maurice Rickard <maurice@mac.com>]

Over the last week, it's been Human Sexual Response's second LP, _In a 
Roman Mood_.  For some reason, people seem to talk about _Fig. 14_ more 
and think of this one as the band running out of steam, but for my 
(used) record-buying dollar, _In a Roman Mood_ has a lot more impact, is 
a better-integrated set, and has some great moments for both the 
guitar/bass/drums section and the four vocalists.  Highlights: "Andy 
Fell," "Pound," the Balloon Farm cover "A Question of Temperature," and 
the subdued, gorgeous, and creepy "Bodyguard."  It's also nice that my 
copy's in better shape than the _Fig. 14_ I managed to hunt down some 
years back.

As far as I know, it's never been reissued in any form, but some 
industrious soul has ripped the vinyl to .mp3, available here, if you're 
HSR-curious: http://www.eggcityradio.com/?m=200705  (scroll down).

Any recent obsessions from anyone else?
