    "Simon & Garfunkel is poetry!" "It's poetry of drugs and promiscuous sex! Honey..." *points to Paul Simon's eyes * "...they're on pot." classic. [6]

    Bookends Theme is the full song title of both track 1 and 7, and there's no other unique identifiers besides length and track number, track 1 is 0:32 and track 7 is 1:24. So when you scrobble the album, both tracks counts as the same song(scrobbling twice for each play-through). Something needs to be done to counter this error. Making the scrobbler to recognise track numbers from ID3-tags, perhaps? Also, the tracklist has more faults: "Fakin" It"? It's supposed to be "Fakin' It". And yes, it matters, it won't scrobble otherwise. Help correcting it.

    when i bought this at a thrift store recently for about 50 cents, it came with this awesome poster where their bodies have this photograph of a bridge on it and there's this cool flower hanging out on art garfunkel's shoulder. it's now on my wall.
