...street in Manhattan and greet by name the street-cleaner, the woman at the corner grocery store and any number of vaguely familiar people in limousines. "I've been in New York for five whole years, going on a century," he explains. New York evidently also knows him: with silver eyelashes and gorgeous Nordic hair, Robert is New York's "Prettiest Boy of the Decade." His notoriety proves valuable to his friends, providing them with invitations to the city's best parties, concerts, and cultural events. Though he is an infinitely talented composer--a protege of Aaron Copland--parties constitute...
...Henry Jones (a k a Sean Connery) had a point in "Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade" when he reminded his son that "in this sort of a race, there's no silver medal for finishing second."

But the Beatles aren't the only Apples influences. "You Said That Last Night," "Get There Fine" and "Silver Chain" are straight from the school of Pavement. "You Said That Last Night" casually tosses in some surf guitar for good measure. And with the first part of "Silvery Light of a Dream," Apples In Stereo crafts sonic collages unlike anything those Liverpool lads ever made...
