I was listening to the Scorpion’s new album, Sting in the Tail. Yea, surprised me too… didn’t know they had a new album. So I guess, the track list for the last 5 songs is:

Lorelei  
Turn You On  
Sly  
Spirit of Rock  
and  
The Best is Yet to Come

It’s a pretty Good album, reliably and solidly Scorps. It reminds me of their stuff from the 80’s, and is kind of predictibly comfortable for fans who don’t really want to hear the indulgent experimentations of aging rockers… just good old solid rock that sounds like it could have been written in the 80’s at the height of Heavy Metaldom. Lorelei is also a great ballad, right up there with still loving you. Probably my favorite just after an initial listen.

Last thing I heard was an LP: Thelonious Monk: _Misterioso - Recorded on tour_. I guess the last track on the a-side and the four tracks on b:

A4 I’m Gettin’ Sentimental Over You   
B1 All the Things You Are   
B2 Honeysuckle Rose   
B3 Bemsha Swing   
B4 Evidence

Wonderful album.
