Retrospective is the name of an anthology album by the music group Monkey House, which was released in 2013 on the Green Dolphin Music label.  Monkey House is a rock/pop/jazz group led by Don Breithaupt.  This release has a total of 44 tracks: 38 songs, plus six interviews.  It includes almost every tune from their first two albums, "Welcome to the Club" (1992), and "True Winter" (1998), and also has four newer songs that were on the 2005 release entitled "Big Money: Singles Remasters Rarities 1992-2005".  Additionally, six tunes not previously released are on this anthology album, five of them being instrumentals, as well as the tune "I'm Not That Guy" from the "Headquarters" (2012 album) sessions, but had not been included on that album.

"Who Am I This Time?"  is a short story written by Kurt Vonnegut, published in the "Saturday Evening Post" in 1961.

Headquarters is the title of a studio album by the music group Monkey House, released in May 2012, on the Alma Records label, which is affiliated with the Universal Music Group.  It was mainly recorded at the Drive Shed in Toronto.  It was produced and arranged by Don Breithaupt, and the engineer was John 'Beetle' Bailey.  Breithaupt is the founder and leader of Monkey House, who have been recording since 1992.  Their previous two albums were "Welcome to the Club" (1992), and "True Winter" (1998).  In 2005, they released "Big Money", a collection of singles, remasters, and rarities.  Stylistically, the "Headquarters" album shows it to be influenced by the music of Steely Dan, with arranged horns and background vocals throughout.  Breithaupt says the tunes are "pop songs with too many chords!"  Also, some guitar work comes from guest artists Drew Zingg (who is best known for his work with Boz Scaggs and Steely Dan), as well as from Kim Mitchell and Rik Emmett (founder of the band Triumph).  Also making contributions on this album are Steely Dan trumpet player and musical director Michael Leonhart, with Julie Crochetière and David Blamires adding backup vocals.  "Headquarters" has generated increasing attention and multi-genre airplay for Monkey House, with a growing international audience.
