I was hoping someone would ask that.  A few weeks ago I passed along a
link to a Slate article praising the Dinnerstein recording to the skies.
The latest BBC Music Magazine slams it.  Seems to be a polarizing
recording.  I haven't heard it but would like to.

Speaking of obsession, there's apparently a woman who has tattooed the
first few bars of the Goldbergs on her back.  I wonder if that's true.
