Artist: Album: Track:

I had iTunes on random play while working today and as I ate lunch at my desk (I know, the glamor, the excitement of the ad world) I went to my MOG for a quick peek.

Imagine my shock, my horror: Celine Dion was in my “Last Songs Played”. How could this be? Now I pride myself on being open-minded, accepting, willing to experiment, but there are limits. And, how in the hell did she get into my collection? What sorts of gremlins are screwing with my machine?

Well, it seems MOG/Rhapsody recognizes things a little differently than I do. The cut in question came from George Martin’s 1998 production “In My Life” in which he revisits Beatles songs he originally produced. Among the featured artists are Jeff Beck, Bobby McFerrin, Vanessa-Mae, Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, Sean Connery, Phil Collins, Celine Dion, Billy Connolly, and John Williams.

The album was generally slagged and deservedly so (it’s way over-produced) but there are few high points, Celine Dion, Robin Williams and Jim Carrey not withstanding. Jeff Beck is amazing as always and it hard not to smile through Goldie Hawn singing “A Hard Day’s Night”.

Oy, it's not as if you were listening to that Titanic excrement. Understand the horror, the horror, though.
