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…)

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. :-)

@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...

ozean - s/t

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…

@dnanian@mas.to avatar

@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.

Gargron, to random

The fact that you can follow the president of the United States (@potus) from your Mastodon account instead of being forced to have an X or Threads account for it is a huge W in my book. Of course our team is fully available to help if they'd want to set up Mastodon on whitehouse.gov. I believe governments should not rely on 3rd party platforms to connect with their constituents.

@mjgardner Learning something doesn't make it "good behavior" - it means you just have to deal with it.

There's a difference between “intuitive" and "that doesn't make sense to a normal person”.

Again - I get it, this is how it works. But that doesn't mean it's good. It just means it's how it works right now.

dnanian,
@dnanian@mas.to avatar

@mjgardner Well, no; the current server design forces local storage, but that doesn't actually have to be the case.

Anyway - this is unproductive, I know. It is how it is…everything has its frustrations.
