My friend Sarah had the same thing happen with blue shampoo turning her brassy highlights a muddy green. She ended up using a semi-permanent blue dye mixed with a ton of conditioner as a toner, left it for maybe three minutes. It neutralized the orange without going gray because the pigment was stronger. I mean, those color-depositing shampoos are really just for upkeep, not fixing a major problem. She learned the hard way you need something more concentrated when the orange is really bright.

I get what you mean about the bass on that Hippos record, but for me the horns are still the main event. On "Far Behind" the trumpet line is what gets stuck in my head for days. The bass is great, but it just lays down the groove for the horns to really shine over.

Ever notice that's true for finding a good mechanic or a decent takeout spot too? You gotta dig past the obvious stuff.
