Amazing choice.

This biweekly feature of yours is the single most important guidebook I use to populate my queue. Thank you.

He seemed on a catnip high at that moment so the world might have looked like that to him.

Her eye thing in “Invasion.” ❤️

Hi Erin. This is Otis.

Kinda similar to the ongoing iOS 26 euphoria.

Musta been doubly tough when Brain Sabean was in charge.

Might be my favorite guitar solo of all time.

He disappointed Miller by not having a death

We won’t be allowed to quote him. You know, after.

Played the shit out of the Bryan Ferry and Wild Tchoupitouolas Albums.

Melinda Dillon sure could wear shorts.

“Murmur” is my 1983 soundtrack, and everything they did on IRS was aces. Got spotty with Warner Bros.

I worked in a Bay Area record store in ‘82-3. We had a clerk who was a Dodgers fan. In this store, if you ran the register you controlled the store’s sound system. This clerk, without fail, played “Fernando” on days Valenzuela started.

Big favorite, for the surrealism and for Johnny Cash.

Ah, the 500 does that? Ours (can’t recall the model and the owner’s manual is in a whole nother room and it’s cold and I haven’t switched on the heater) doesn’t, so at the end of the cycle I prop the door open with a small block of wood. If I were trading up, I’d want that feature.

go with the cheapest Bosch model you can find.

Perhaps Minnie Driver could sign on.

2 will win cuz recency bias.

Compelled to respond to this because I too have a specific approach to music enjoyment, nerdy and rather anal even. And while I enjoy lurking in debates over Spotify evils and format wars, my simple belief is you gotta enjoy ’em however you got ‘em. The song’s the thing.

Looked for “Baby’s On Fire” and all was well

Saw The Exorcist days after release, knowing nothing going in. Slept with the lights on for three nights after. I was 18.

I thought it was a Ben Garrison thing

I got 25, and as the first record I bought with my own money was “Surf City” in 1963, I am going to try to convince my tinnitus-plagued ears to follow suit.

Spotify Listening age is 25.

Since the first record I ever bought with my own money was “Surf City” when it was a hit, I am pleased to say, “ Hello, fellow youths.”

every volume worth having. shortwave geek goodness; especially great when seeded in a randomly-generated music playlist.

Same. First movie I ever saw with my parents; I was eight. We drove the hour to San Francisco to see it at the Cinerama. It was wacky and chaotic, but I do remember feeling a tingle when the giant ’W’ was revealed.

Came here to say Hey Ya and OP sneaks No Hey Ya Rule INTO THE COMMENTS

Been avoiding because she uses Autotune, but maybe I gotta get past that.
