YouTube video by Brian Wilson - Topic Meet Me in My Dreams Tonight (Remastered Version)

I just heard about Brian Wilson, one of my musical heroes. Full body chills as I type. Beyond PET SOUNDS, I'd like to draw your attention to his 1988 LP, BRIAN WILSON, which exemplifies every bit of joy I had that year & beyond. Listen to those harmonies at 1:30!!

This looks amazing!

I lost my Streisand collection to a flood in my house in LA 20 years ago, so I understand the feeling. I built mine up again - her albums tend to pop up at all the various vinyl shops 'round town.

...and don't be surprised if there is a reissue this year (although I know it's not the same).

I hear hosts say "I don't host Spaces or Pods for me, but for others."

This, to me, sounds like fear of being viewed as "selfish." As if a host is not allowed to get benefit from hosting.

I've learned hosting is as much for me as it is for anyone else. I hope other hosts internalize this.

I still think it's very cool they're doing anything.

I found you via the Albumism post about music you can't live without. We have a lot of music love in common!

It's just listening but OK.

Wave back. Come to Jim's music pod - it's happening now (4:50pm)

Love this, but love AMPLIFIED HEART more.

Masterpiece. Perfect from start to finish.

Today's security breach news is just one more step towards all of this falling apart. This is not going to last.

And how it ultimately falls apart is going to be something we cannot imagine and have never seen before. Just like this MASSIVE f/up, to quote Pete.

"Squeeeeee"

The sound you make (sorta) when k.d. lang - unexpectedly - tweets a thank you after you comment on a link RuPaul put up by complimenting her album "Invincible Summer."

Yes -- that is how I started my morning 7 years ago today!

Making sure people see this, even randomly.

It also doesn't feel “all over the place” as interviews and the title have suggested. Gaga has such a unique way of approaching pop-rock music, and I like MAYHEM a lot. (2/2)

#LadyGaga #Mayhem #music

I was concerned about whether I’d like Lady Gaga’s new album; the promo and the album artwork/iconography indicated something dark, and there is enough dark right now.

I'm grateful - the tone is much lighter than expected. (1/2)

Done! Thanks as always, Leigh. 🙂

The most unfortunate thing is, nothing Ezra alludes to is not already present across the massive amount of songs #Prince recorded. That can't be hidden. It's all there. His entire struggle.

A hagiography makes little sense and will confuse future fans. Ezra's attempt was valiant. #Prince4Ever

YouTube video by PABLO TORRE FINDS OUT The Banned Prince Documentary: Director Ezra Edelman Speaks | PTFO

...and here it is, from Ezra Edelman's mouth. The miscalculation "the Estate" is making is enormous; especially the discussion of the whitewashing of #Prince for both B'way and whatever doc comes next. (1 of 2)

I'm in my 50s, but thanks!

They do even if you're older! 🙂

Ah, youth!

For those upset Cynthia Erivo didn't win tonight: she'll not only be nominated for Best Actress again next year, but also co-wrote one of the new songs in WICKED: FOR GOOD which will *unquestionably* be nominated for Best Song. She will get her EGOT next year; one way or another. Maybe two. #Oscars

Look, y'all, Demi was not robbed. She was fine in THE SUBSTANCE, despite it not making much sense. She had three really good scenes, but by comparison, Mikey Madison carries the whole dang movie. The Academy made the correct choice. Demi would not want to win just because of "a narrative." #Oscars

...and we in LA just added a HOUSEQUAKE to Oscar night. 3.9 near Burbank / North Hollywood. Prob felt bigger because it's closer to me. #LA #earthquake

trying to find out where that was centered.

What a night for Sean Baker and ANORA! That's Oscars 97, baby. Until next year! #Oscars

The Academy did not let me down! They gave Best Actress to one of the two whose performance actually made sense to win. Way to go Mikey!! #Oscars

I loved spotting Colman Domingo dead center stage in that red jacket getting his life to Queen Latifah's party on "Ease On Down the Road". Q would be very proud! Claps up! #Oscars

Much love and respect to the winners of Documentary Feature "No Other Land" and their powerful speeches. They may fall on many deaf, arrogant ears - but I heard you. #Oscars
