I discovered New Pornographers and Franz Ferdinand, and re-discovered
Joy Division. (Yeah, yeah, yeah ... I know I'm out of touch. Sorry.)
Mostly, though, Pandora.com has introduced me to albums I hadn't
heard, even though I knew the artist. Example: I'm no massive Elton
John fan, but I heard a couple of cuts off of "Tumbleweed Connection"
and picked that one up.

BTW, anyone know about the possible re-mastering of "Shaming of the
True" by the late Kevin Gilbert? I heard a rumour about that a couple
of years ago but haven't heard anything since.
