3/14: Just wanted to show the cover of the new Stephin Merritt album, Showtunes.

3/14: First listen: better give it a second.

3/15: Second listen: remind myself that I abhor showtunes.

3/15, 3/16: Third, fourth and fifth listens: Ba'al, it's dreadful. Or rather,
it's dreadful for me. The lyrics are brilliant, but each listen, it gets worse.
Merritt has earned too much credit for me to blame him. This one's on me.
