Alexa is abstinent, then?

Thing is a study and a half, isn't it?

I stumbled on Andrew Solomon's The Noonday Demon in 2002 just when I needed it.

Frances Lear's 1992 autobio The Second Seduction hits just right for an introspective soul who loves to read for human reasons.

That should be a start....

Uh oh. now you've done it!

Thievery Corporation...All That We Perceive ° Lebanese Blonde °

Holographic Universe ° Firelight ° Focus On Sight

^ ...that's just a start

It's a fun one to play bass on, a perfectly fine tune. But the 2-7 equation is on a plane unto itself.

Synkronized : played in succession, tracks 2 thru 7 reign indescribable as a little mini-loop.

Any day of any week I'll take Harper over Fool In The Rain.

Speaking of Zeppelin III, have you listened to the version of Out On The Tiles off the 1995 tribute album ENCOMIUM?

Their Love Gun contains Then She Kissed Me, which I think would've served us all better by being 30 seconds. (Yes, I get that it is an adaptation, but still.)

I mean, it's a little silly, sure, but it's occasionally listenable.

Whereas idk...Let It Be, Hey Jude, Come Together, and Yellow Submarine are just flat out annoyant.

A good one.

Plus...

Amends / Androgyny / Sometimes

Cuz I wasn't in Oxford.

I mean, I've heard "Comma nover" plenty of times. And that's just in California!

:-D

How were the commas over there?

Supervixen / Untouchable / Sugar -- Garbage

Allures / Brakhage / Fluorescences -- Stereolab

Mediate / Mystify / Kick -- INXS

Get Yer YaYas Out -- the Stones

Together, Again...LIVE -- BB King & Bobby Bland

The Song Remains The Same -- Zeppelin

The way "Young Lust" follows "Empty Spaces" is highest-tier.

Now then, does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?

:-)

Summerboy -- Gaga

Summer Breeze -- the Isley Brothers

Magic -- the Cars

Another OK? 2022...

2000?

> Lindsey Buckingham

For goosebumps on your skin and chills to your marrow, get comfy and pull up the version found on The Dance (1998? / 2000?) DVD of "I'm So Afraid".

While abso-to-the-lutely, the other 4 members of the band are flawless in the gifts they provide, Lindsey just shuts the world down and shows us all what it means to experience and display being human.

Enjoy!

Prince was so good it was ridiculous. The kind of beyond where decades later, you can find room and play in what he was trying to get across -- as it hits you after repeat listens, or not necessarily looking for it, whether in his guitar phrasing or keyboard arrangements. And vocally, he presented avenues and platforms which gave so many of his influences their justice and due.

Thanks for the reminder on the Gap Band, as well. Man, you weren't kidding: Early In The Morning has the kind of inescapable infectious grip that's like a good massage -- like the Isleys' unbeatable smoothness you can't help but savor. Early/Morning from now on will find regular replays happening here on my system.

One of my longtime Isleys pets (among others) is Livin' In The Life.

While you're there, look into the Page & Plant tapings from 1995, the DVD titled No Quarter. They were 50 (JP) and 46 (RP) and hadn't lost a step.

While we're here...Toppest Tier pieces for me continue with:

"I Need You Tonight" -- ZZ Top

"Red House" -- Jimi

"Texas Flood" -- SRV

"Down In The Hole" -- the Stones

Scope out Jeff Beck's TRUTH album in its entirety

Zeppelin's BBC Sessions double cd has several truly deep and blistering blues pieces I can listen to anytime.
