So I was at dinner with my wife and what comes on the overhead speakers?  The version of "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" that Sixpence recorded oh so many years ago.  I still remember recording soft-shoe wood block, brushes, and old pie-plate hi-hats on that one.  And Phil Madeira's Mellotron/ Chamberlain strings gave it such an awesome vibe.  Plus, I think Russ Long panned the drums and bass to one side in the mix to emulate that old school recording style (or whatever you call it...).  Usually we hear "Kiss Me" or "Breathe Your Name" over the piped in music, but this was the first time I heard that specific Sixpence cover out in public.  Cool.
