I SAVED ACE'S FOR LAST as a reward for listening to well especially Peter's ....
99% of people would say the classic on here is "New York Groove" and so I'll go along with them but I REALLY REALLY like the spacey, echo laden "I'm In Need Of Love" it's really awesome and druggy
It just occurred to me listening to "Speedin Back To My Baby" the only solo record that doesn't use female backup vocals is Paul!

If you were only bringing one synth keyboard with you on stage to perform, what would you bring up there? I’m asking because I have a vision of me, my guitar, and a stage synth I could stand near and use on and off. It would have to also carry some nice analog piano sounds at times. Not sure if it’s possible to do unless it’s a midi controller with laptop. But it’d be so cool if it was a standalone analog unit. The simplicity appeals. :blobcatcoffee: #GearSquad

#NowWatching Johnny Mnemonic: Reloaded (1995)

I haven't watched this in years and I don't remember too much about it apart from lots of cool names and a Hollywood cash in on the internet / cyberpunk craze.

This is the Reloaded edition, a fan has edited together both cuts of the film (US & Japanese) to create a longer, fuller cut.

I’m listening to the most deeply uncool music on my iPod rn.

Over on the blog I explored some thoughts regarding the bit rates of my digital music library. This is not a prescriptive, and certainly not scientific. Just me trying to end a debate I have with myself.

Album of the Day

Party Party - Original Soundtrack Recording

New wave weekend! The Discogs seller who had that The Motels record was having a sale, all stock 50% off, minimum $20. So, Motels, this, and 2 other records, roughly $5/ea. Not entirely sure why I chose this, looked quirky. I remember seeing it in cutout bins all throughout the 80s/90s. Some goofy 50s covers; some really good tracks. Perfect $5 vinyl.

I wonder what the movie is like?

Once again letting the Discogs’ Random Item feature choose my listening. A real blast from the past. Still slaps.

It takes a lot to get me to care even the slightest about the band KISS.* But I'll publish/read anything that @SpaceAce writes. For the 50th anniversary of their first album he reflected on what made the band special. It's a really good post.

*Don't get me wrong, I was an adolescent when KISS was the new hotness, so of course they were a favorite band. I even had that first KISS comic that my mom was so disgusted by she made get rid of it lol.

Yesterday @theropologist told me Jam Bands were in fact real, but I'm still pretty sure they are real like Improv Groups are real.

Album of the Day

Adrian Belew - Young Lions

Got this for a good price recently. I was certainly an Adrian Belew fan in the 80s. Not obsessive, not enough to listen to a Zappa album. But I had a couple of his solo records, that first King Crimson reboot record, saw him in concert on the Lone Rhinoceros tour and with Talking Heads. This record has a Bowie collab, a redo of a Crimson song. All in all, A-.

Every time I go to download my digital-only (as in, I don't own the vinyl or CD) releases I pause, wonder, should I be downloading these as FLAC rather than 320Kbps? Then I look at the file size difference and think, that's so much more space, I'll need a bigger drive, more to backup. So I try to research, and realize that's an audiophile sinkhole that yields nothing useful. I'm unlikely to spend time a/b testing formats; my hearing is not golden anyway; my equipment just ok.
So ¯_(ツ)_/¯...?
