Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

That stank face

Talking with Google AI about what's so magical (mostly Nelson Riddle) about Sinatra's and Jarret's versions of "It's a Lonesome Old Town" and I've assigned myself some listening, so I'm listening: Sinatra, Sings for Only the Lonely and Where Are You? Nat King Cole, The Very Thought of You and Night Lights Keith Jarrett, of course, and John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman

He's so polite and professional. I really enjoyed this. Unrelated: math rock

Yeezh.

Damn, that sounds intriguing. Will give it a listen.

Unholy carp!

Finally finished UFO, starting Space: 1999.

Same. I actually just listened to it recently. Also, Koyaanisqatsi. A contender for my favourite album of the 80s (it's a weird list, don't ask).

LOL at Rick Wakeman peaking up out of the cover of Rhapsodies (one of my favourite albums of his, absolutely adore everything on that album, from "Seahorses" to "Wooly Willy").

So great -- reminds of my favourite band's alter ego: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ8-ZgxB55A

Mmm...beet...hummus?

I definitely hear Perfect Kiss -era New Order in their DNA (which is one of the greatest videos of all time). Also Graveyard Club would be a great name for a classic rock covers band. If it even was a cover. Which it isn't.

Summer, fun, &c. not proggy, but...tbh, Pink Floyd changed everything for me -- I didn't appreciate funk growing up, so when Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 3 infected my brain, I had to backpedal and catch up.
