I've been to Dingwall's once, in 1985. I saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Gary Wright - DreamWeaver Official Video
YouTube video by RUSS SWEENEY FILMS Gary Wright - DreamWeaver Official Video

The opening chord of Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver" is so distinctive: I just got the sheet music for it, played the chord & bam! it conjured up the whole song. I played the chord for my wife to see if she could guess the song, and she got it immediately. (It's Dm#4 BTW)

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

Technically yes, but: they made three albums, each with a different lead singer/principal songwriter. That song is on the punkish first album "Product Perfect" with Luke James; Fabrique is the second album with Dave "De" Harris; and the third album was more generic synthpop with Alan Darby

Fashion's "Fabrique" is such a great album, technically synthpop but with a darker undercurrent than most. Oddly it has two songs with the word "picture" in the title; the better one IMO is "You Only Left Your Picture", a slow jam with a sweet phase shift/pan effect at the end of the chorus

We Want WAAN, by WAAN 11 track album

WAAN - We Want WAAN - Dutch sax/keys duo cycles through synthpop, jazz-funk, doomjazz (the mellow kind), Fourth World lite, and caps the album with what sounds like a Hawkwind Nik Turner showcase ("Cecilyum")

Nostalgic for the days I could get a new mass market paperback from the UK for well under $10.

Autumn Glory apples are the best; I hadn't found them for a couple years but Aldi had them yesterday and I got the last two bags! Beside them all other apples taste like disappointment.

I'm intrigued by the two tracks allocated to Eno's... sidekick? alter ego? id? "Pno" on "Found a Job"
