Lately, Patricia Barber's "Persephone" from Mythologies has been slaying me -- there's ache for you.

I've noticed that folks hereabouts are mixed on Barber, and on this album in particular. I think it's a flat out masterpiece. Just another one of those cases where I can't get my mind around what the "opposition" is thinking -- an apt seasonal sentiment.
