LOL at Rick Wakeman peaking up out of the cover of Rhapsodies (one of my favourite albums of his, absolutely adore everything on that album, from "Seahorses" to "Wooly Willy").

So great -- reminds of my favourite band's alter ego: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ8-ZgxB55A

Mmm...beet...hummus?

I definitely hear Perfect Kiss -era New Order in their DNA (which is one of the greatest videos of all time). Also Graveyard Club would be a great name for a classic rock covers band. If it even was a cover. Which it isn't.

Summer, fun, &c. not proggy, but...tbh, Pink Floyd changed everything for me -- I didn't appreciate funk growing up, so when Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 3 infected my brain, I had to backpedal and catch up.

New Gas (the Wolfgang Voigt, not the Mat Jarvis one, but I still dig) compilation album https://kompakt-gas.bandcamp.com/community?from=com-e-nm&sid=2228235&st=sm

Finally have local AI downloaded and running. So ... Yeah, I can do that, now. EDIT: And I got GLM-5.2 running! Abysmal speeds but when I need it, I got it!

New Lunatic Soul -- medigs! (prog/neo-prog)

Jane Siberry, No Borders Here

Tay Keith -- 29 (!!!)

So Ignorance² is bliss²?

I made a fusion Pad Thai / Mapo Tofu thing yesterday with Tofu, ground turkey, and noodles. I need to work up to the recipe I recently acquired (didn't have any Doubanjiang -- Chili Bean Sauce) and maybe make it more heart healthy, but I'm getting there. It was delicious.

Unholy carp!

You know, I normally hate harsh vocals. But every once in a while, it brings me joy. Like this. (And Nemophila.)

Oliver Lieb's latest release -- nice background music, pretty much designed for coding/researching/reading/&c. Just energetic enough to energize me; just diverse enough to keep my interest without demanding to be engaged with my frontal lobe. https://oliverlieb.bandcamp.com/album/recovered-frequencies-vol-1

So...almost famous Amish? That sounded more alliterative in my head. Me: still working my way through UFO on Tubi

Matt Elliott, Only Myocardial Infarction Can Break Your Heart https://mattelliott.bandcamp.com/album/only-myocardial-infarction-can-break-your-heart LOL that title. But the music is typically beautiful, very much in line with most everything he's done since Drinking Songs -- fundamentally rooted on acoustic guitar and his voice.

I really liked this. I don't even know how to describe it -- it's like somewhere between the jazz of Mammal Hands and GoGo Penguin, and ... post-rock? IDK...

As a diehard KJ fan, I have my "more favourite" and "less favourite" solo piano concert albums of his. I will have to revisit some of them now, thanks for the unintended rec!
