 | | The proper application of tambourine sparkle to a pop song isn't that difficult to demonstrate, I guess (wait until the chorus, then shake it on the sixteenth notes), but surely the curriculum can spare three minutes for such a pristine example. |
 | | The surging "Troubled Times", its harmonies slipping into minor at the ends of lines, flutters from Jellyfish (although this isn't one of the ones Sturmer participated in) to the Posies, with some guitar breaks that could be vintage Tommy Keene. |
 | | And "Outside Looking In", the finale, which is one of the four Sturmer produced, wanders back to Jellyfish, the Posies, the Grays, Tommy Keene, Velvet Crush, all these memories closing in, and I sink into their embrace. |
