The more I listen, the more I love this; unique sound and she still has so much passion in her singing. "This House" hits a bit hard, but all is great.

We watched Becoming Led Zeppelin on Netflix last night. Very enjoyable...missed it on IMAX but such is life. HS

Ohmigosh, I love "This House". So melodramatic. Right up there with "Winter Kills" in terms of depressing music. (For some reason, I'm always reminded of an SNL skit of a desperate, drunk woman in her apartment, "I'll shout from my window, to anyone listening: 'I'm losing!'" 🤣 ) In my top 10 favourite songs with her singing, with "All Cried Out", "Where Hides Sleep", "Winter Kills", "Goodbye Seventies", and others. I first discovered it as the B-side to "Love Letters", with a guitar solo instead of that bridge section. This is that version:

Hmmm, is that Gilda Radner in her satirical commercial for "Haley's Bristol Cream?" She parodied the real commercial of a woman telling another woman to call a man and not wait for him. So she tries it a couple times and the men are not available; she ends up yelling out to a stranger int he street, and you then see a bum in her apartment drinking with her.... Tried a quick search for the video, didn't find it.

Jim Lauderdale at a free concert. Not recording this time

😄 I'm from that part of Ohio and went to Kent State where the Casale brothers did also and dad taught. Devo was big in my life. I can't explain it, but 2.0 is unbelievably slightly growing on me. Slightly. Just listen to it 20 more times! Uncontrollable Urge switch from sex to junk food is kinda funny.

Good God! How on earth am I going to unsee that?

I have fond memories of having seen Nitzer Ebb exactly once. When that wobbly bassline started...

Who needs Pet Sounds when we have Ding Dang?

^ same.

And I'll add Paul McCartney's favorite. When I found out Melissa was pregnant, the first album I thought of introducing to future Esmé was Pet Sounds.

You're shocked? ... Just like our sponsor!

Wait... Not everything that LTT reports on is accurate... I'm shock, Shocked I say...

Pulp you say? And arguably its greatest cover?

RIP Brian....even though I didn't listen to a ton of Beach Boys music, the massive respect and recognition is there for their - and especially HIS - greatness. Also RIP to Douglas McCarthy of Nitzer Ebb. Their music was in good rotation in years past.... Only 58 too, likely related to liver issues..... https://www.stereogum.com/2311466/nitzer-ebb-frontman-douglas-mccarthy-dead-at-58/news/

RIP Brian Wilson - 82

Wait, there was a Devo assisted Disney Devo 2.0 (aka Dev2.0 or DEV2.O)? When Disney Met Devo https://www.runoutnumbers.com/blog/2015/9/13/oh-no-its-devo-20-when-devo-met-disney It's all about devolution after all.

Had quite a shock today. My Sister in law sent me a pic of my Mom on the day of her death. This is a picture of her Christmas before last... This was her the day she died... Just 1 1/2 years later. I was shocked!
