    Since I was thinking about it.

    Candy-O (Expanded Edition)

    Candy-O (Expanded Edition)
    The Cars
    1979

    https://album.link/i/1088527319

    Example:

    Maybe it was the album cover and my young teen years that made me think about this album more.  🤓 But it was more unfamiliar than I thought. The first 4 tracks for sure were solid in my memory, so my brother must have played the first side a lot. Being '79 this had a much more 80s feel than I thought it would. Enjoyable with some gems in there, but not has cohesive as their first effort. The expanded edition just gives some other goodies and a few mixes that are fun enough.

    I do like the story that they brought Vargas out of retirement at 83 years of age to create the iconic cover. 

    The big difference between the first album and Candy-O is that they got a little more new-wavier.  But it's still an insanely solid effort for That Difficult Sophomore Album.

    @Hopstretch -- who was that guy who had a really groovy sound and French female backup singers and keyboardist (perhaps he was French)?  I can't remember his name and I need to look him up again, and hear more music by him.  I vaguely remember finding a video of an entire concert from him at a beach house or something.

    Ha-HA!   Baxter Dury

    No, I didn't all of a sudden remember, he released a new album today.

     

  3. Been reading a bunch of self-help books:

    The Four Agreements -- excellent!  Highly recommended to everyone, spiritual or otherwise

    The Fifth Agreement -- in progress, but same

    Atomic Habits -- pretty great so far, we'll see if it sticks

    If this product was launched 20 years ago I’m going to guess it would have failed, but 2023 has stupidity is on mass.

    What do you mean, "if"?

  5. Finished Night Agent and my long-lasting impression is that Luciane Buchanan is hella cute.  The show was a nice little popcorn muncher -- I enjoyed that they had a female president without overly patting themselves on the back for that.

    Spoiler

    And that she wasn't the villain this time!

    Need to get back to Because This is My First Life, Udemy, &c. ...but I need a mindless guilty pleasure like that one for this time of night.  Recommendations accepted.  I'm thinking Beef since it gets "dark", according to the 30-words-or-less description.  And since I've been having my own rage incidents.
