Grace, at 78 years old, is right up there with the rest of the divas whom we embraced and provided the soundtrack of our lives in the 1980s. We can’t lose any more of them this year.

Early Afternoon Listening
Alan Parsons Project: Ammonia Avenue (1984)
While this wasn’t the first album I bought on CD, it was among the first half dozen for sure and was the one I most vividly remember playing the fuck out of after I got it. Don’t Answer Me and Pipeline at angelic, make-your-ears-bleed volume. That front-and-center sax riff in Pipeline…chef’s kiss. That’s all I can say.
One of these days I need to make a compilation Minidisc of nothing but the instrumental cuts from APP’s albums.
Pet Shop Boys: Please (1986)
The soundtrack of my life for the first few months I lived in San Francisco.
