There’s something bizarrely amusing about the iPad keyboard weighing much more than the iPad itself.

Yes - 90125 (Atlantic 75 Series)

Yes imploded/exploded quite a few times over the years, and when it broke into XYZ/Asia and this Trevor Horn-led version, 90125 came out with a new, very 80s-commercial sound.

You've definitely heard "Owner of a Lonely Heart”, which was mostly a Horn composition for a solo album. Kind of last-minute add-on Jon Anderson gave it (and the album) a more "Yes" feel.

New Atlantic 75 version sounds great.

@dpp I'm sure, years ago, but I don't remember it at all.

@dpp (I tred to find it on YouTube, and while there were a bunch of parodies in a collection, I couldn’t find that one…)

Here's a great interview with Steve Albini from 1993:

Charly Bliss - Guppy

Solidly in the power-pop with grungy guitars zone.

Lead singer Eva Hendricks has a very distinctive, did-I-accidentally-play-this-at-45RPM voice that suits the songs, but can take a bit of getting used to.

But once you do, lots of fun to be had.

When I think "Bernard Hill”, I immediately think of his great performance as Madgett in Peter Greenaway's rather delightful Drowning by Numbers.

RIP.

Haku pupdate.

Haku’s lymphoma was intially diagnosed in November of 2022. His initial remission ended this past January, and his restarted CHOP protocol failed shortly thereafter. His third, different treatment was ineffective, and, as of yesterday, we’re trying a fourth: Tanovea. It has a 40-50% chance of helping in stage IIIa, and we hope it’ll give him more happy days.

It’s clear, though, as we approach the end of this journey, that every additional good day is a gift, for him and us.

Khruangbin - A la Sala

Yes, yes, Khruangbin vibes, etc. Interesting interstitials that gives this an all-in-one-night throughline.

Continued groove and Malian-influenced guitar (along with many others) make this, well, what you'd expect. But also what'd you'd want.

(Still don't get why some call them psychedelic, though.)

Love the (hard to protect well) day-to-night package. Pressing pretty bit a bit noisy...

@scottearle I'm sure they've explained in an interview at some point. Sometimes people just like the sound of something… :-)

Well it's been a long long day or so. Haven't slept after camping out queuing at @waxandbeans for Record Store Day. I got all I wanted

It was really cold but at least no rain. Going to sleep like a log tonight.

Alot of Limited stuff this year.

@Whiskeyomega @waxandbeans Still can't believe that Wicker Man EP is UK-only for RSD. Arrgh. :-)

@dnanian@mas.to avatar

@Whiskeyomega @waxandbeans Maybe there's a chance there'll be some leftover. Do you remember if it was RSD "First" or “Exclusive”?

@Whiskeyomega @waxandbeans Bummer. >sigh<

@Whiskeyomega Yea - it's about $60 USD shipped...

Cocteau Twins - Treasure

This might be my favorite Cocteau Twins album.

It's flawless from stasrt to finish, starting with the one-two punch of Ivo and Lorelei... and it never lets up.

I have to assume that the presence of new member Simon Raymonde is what kicked things up a notch.

Superb. No better place to start, if you're new to the Cocteau Twins...

I, too, enjoy the Cocteau Twins.

@hotdogsladies I hear your shouting it from the flagstones.

@hotdogsladies (Clearly we need to do a blog of just misheard Cocteau Twins lyrics, which would basically be all of them.)

Dave Edmunds - Repeat When Necessary

As you may recall, Rockpile put out a bunch of records during their brief lifespan mostly not under the Rockpile name. Here's one of Edmunds' two.

This starts out with the one-two punch of Girls Talk (Elvis Costello) and Crawling from the Wreckage (Graham Parker) - Edmunds wasn't much of a songwriter, but he was an great interpreter & player.

@hotdogsladies Parker was definitely the definition of an angry young man, with a very sharp pen.

@hotdogsladies Love that song. I’ve never seen the video…!

@hotdogsladies That whole bridge section is so interestingly constructed…

@hotdogsladies I think I've actually heard that episode, but I need to listen to it again... Chris Molanphy is definitely someone you want on your Music Trivia team.
