I chuckle at the Fragile and Not Fragile. Read recently that BTO deliberately named their album in response to Yes.

So what’s yours look like?

@tomhamby @vinylrecords

My list is only a best guess as I started buying records in around 3rd grade (1973 or so). There may have been a Cowsills record in there somewhere...

@tomhamby @vinylrecords

I have heard of both of those bands. The Cowsills still perform and put out an album this year it seems. Original members.

I got the Cowsills as a gift and was not a fan. Traded it right away.

I swear, having a Black president literally made America go insane.

When I think about how utterly wiiiiild everything is, I think, Hm, what was the catalyst? What was the thing that made half this country go completely bonkers?

Barack Obama.

That and the idea that it was a woman’s turn next. Sent the mutherfuckers into a frenzy.

When did “the 80’s” start? 🤔

I like this answer from Reddit 👇

"I see five distinct parts:

80 - 81: Fast Times at Ridgemont High era, rock was popular, New Wave just showing up. J Geils Band, Asia, Billy Squier.

82 - 83: New Romantics era, New Wave becomes more widely accepted. Culture Club, Spandau Ballet, Missing Persons.

84 - 85: Monsters of Pop era. Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Cindy Lauper.

86 - 87: Stock Aitken Waterman era, where pop became a bit overproduced. Bananarama, Pet Shop Boys, Cutting Crew.

88 - 89: Hair Band era, where pop was taken over by teased hair and electric guitars. Poison, Def Leppard, Guns N Roses.

(Of course, the R&B charts had their own eras, and had very successful crossovers in every era, from Lionel Richie to Janet Jackson.)"

I think of “the 80s” aesthetic starting around 1978 and ending around 1990. But it has to include punk, hardcore, rap, metal, and club music. Those pop acts were reacting to the underground very directly in the 80s.

Who wants to name an #asteroid?

... and where do those alphabet soup monikers come from?

The Science Museum in London has published a blog post on asteroid naming, and describing the #Hayabusa2 campaign to name asteroid 2001 CC21!

They are great if you don’t know them. Their second album is my favorite, but they are all worth your time.

Watched Dune 2 last night.
It's not particularly better or worse then the original.
It's just...longer.

It is also louder.

icastico, 2 months ago

@TheGymNerd @sergeant

At the theater we were at it was as loud as the loudest of rock concerts. Well past 100db. Ears ringing afterwards loud.

Tupelo Chain Sex - Spot The Difference #vinyl @vinylrecords #punk #jazz #reggae #ska #80s #nowPlaying

From 1984. Evidence that at least some of your #GenX friends have been aware of the #antifascim fight for a long time.

@shansterable @vinylrecords

I was in a punk cover band that did a Dayglo abortions song (scared of people) back in 1984. Great band.
