   Oh, you're no fun.   
      
   I still listen to FZ all the time. Not always daily, but frequently.   
   It's more or less a lifelong obsession at this point. I listened to the   
   friggin' Baby Snakes soundtrack CD yesterday. The stereo mix on that   
   thing sucks and I can hear all the damn edits between tracks! But it's   
   still fun. Since I'm home from work today, I'm going to listen to it   
   again. Followed by Hammermith Odeon. And at the end of the week I'm   
   ordering that new orchestral recording of 200 Motels.
