I’m just jealous of your weather, don’t mind me. It was a reference to that old prediction that everything West of the San Andreas Fault was going to fall into the ocean. Not sure why it’s no longer spoken in polite company...

I’m with you on that. Way back when I was a lad, I didn’t listen to much pop music, but I did listen to these two albums (and a handful of others). I taped them on a single 90 minute cassette to listen in the car, and have thought of them together ever since.

The feature I enjoy most is “track radio” as a way of discovering similar new music. It doesn’t work as well for classic rock, as they tend to lump all classic rock together, and if the music is too new, it tends not to exist, but it’s almost always worth it to me to check.

Yeah, y’all keep yucking it up until you fall into the Pacific.

Gotta disagree with you. You’re not upvoting tofu, you’re upvoting tofu as an ingredient. Pad Thai isn’t really complete without those little bits of tofu, just as an obvious example.

Me too. No idea. I kinda want to play “ID the records” on that second one.

New PsychFurs! Can’t wait for the rest of the album, if this is any indication.

Really digging on The Rhubarb these last 24 hours, I must’ve listened to the Black Sun EP a dozen times. The chick’s voice reminds me of Sara from Devics, except in a moar metaller context. Listen to “I’d Do Anything”: https://therhubarb.bandcamp.com/track/id-do-anything

There’s more.

Yeah, I really like her performance and went a bit of a ways down the rabbit hole with her, too. She’s delightful!

A Brazilion different versions of St. James Infirmary (3 guesses why). Louis Armstrong predates Typo Negative in slowing it down to half speed by decades. This version is nicely raucous, but I have no idea how to emulate that on one guitar:

I loved those Blueroom pods. Never scored a pair or four, though.

It’s so great, I had to turn around and listen to it again. I didn’t even realize it was dropping, until just hours ago, and just got so excited. Made. My. Day.

Fax is on! ‘D’you lose my number?

Goddamn, that was good. New Fiona Apple album! First one in 8 years! More Tom Waits influenced! I’m a happy boy.

...which is weird, because their other albums sound nothing like this. Post-hardcore, I think? Anyway, not now, but in an hour, will be listening to this:

Unless there’s a DC offset, the net sum gain should be zero. It might rock, though.

Some really nice krautrock:

I think the answer is, ‘yes’, for the foreseeable future.

This. O er and over again. Ad infinitum.
