I really liked this. I don't even know how to describe it -- it's like somewhere between the jazz of Mammal Hands and GoGo Penguin, and ... post-rock? IDK...

Buckethead, Electric Tears example:

Unrelated: Rivers Cuomo, Randum Cuverz

As a diehard KJ fan, I have my "more favourite" and "less favourite" solo piano concert albums of his. I will have to revisit some of them now, thanks for the unintended rec!

By all means, share away. If this isn't the place for it, I don't know what is. Those of us who have them all love our floofy children. ❤️ to Cora.

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Robert Fripp @ 80, the series (not just the intro, there's already a couple episodes out) I won't say one of my biggest influences, but I am deeply fascinated with everything he thinks, says, and does -- I want to be influenced by him, but that's a rather high bar -- so will definitely be watching this series with interest.

Ooooh, that was Elvis Costello, not Randy Newman. 🙃

Split Enz, True Colours (everything except "I Got You")

We don't really have a Detroit Techno thread, so I'm putting this here: Mayor Mary Sheffield declares this week as Detroit Techno Week https://6amgroup.com/articles/events-all/detroit-declares-techno-week-as-movement-festival-marks-20-years

Had a MRI. I passed. (Apparently, I'm very good at laying very still.) They want me back to repeat the procedure on different equipment, so they can calibrate the equipment. 🙃 Kinda reminded me of a concert I saw where Pan Sonic played one long drone and manipulated the timbre so that different parts of audience members' bodies resonated. (The concert was a very visceral experience.)

LOL, most studios have since implemented non-smoking policies in the control room.

Could be worse, IG...
