This is my official, "it's xmas eve and I'm Jewish and bored" post. If you are also Jewish and bored, consider this your invitation to play in comments! (If you're not Jewish but still bored, you can have a Jew-for-the-day pass and come play too.)

Oh, and to all who are celebrating, have a wonderful holiday.

Yeah, Swings is probably the album I'll use. I think it'll keep her attention long enough to listen all the way though once, and that'll be enough to hook her. I'm not sure she'd listen all the way through the JH Gala. (She lives 12 hours away, so I need something that'll work long distance on a busy person that doesn't spend a lot of personal time on her PC.)

From what I've heard/read/seen in videos, I agree that an audience makes a definite difference. And, yes, I also think allowing him a bit less control (or a far more constructively critical beta audience) would result in a (IMHO) better end product. I'm hoping that with this album, he'll have gotten the whole "another side" out of his system and that his next albums will be closer to what we're used to hearing him sound like.
