I made another one of these, but about Dan Wilson, aka the "Closing Time" guy https://open.spotify.com/playlist/40FVrs3rUwZKyMGgJ5aD5E?si=374a728cedf34102

I made a playlist of scattered Blue Nile miscellanea and wrote a bit about it https://blog.derekgodin.com/elsewhere-blue-nile-marginalia

lmao I made it a blog post

I had a post so musically esoteric I've logged back into this account to post it

2020: A Playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2bZTfno7BaIDDHnn7Rgryk?si=x6NQBn-bTguKTvfBLUOScQ

that Blue Nile record is the most divorced dad-ass album I've ever head and it rules

The Blue Nile, Hats
Daniel Lanois, Acadie
Galaxie 500, On Fire
Nomeansno, Wrong
Tom Petty, Full Moon Fever

is this thing still on

This album should come standard issue with your first car, because for as good as Journey is, it never sounds better than in the shitty, trebley speakers of your 1993 Geo Metro.

So I guess we're doing Journey's Greatest Hits this morning. https://open.spotify.com/album/1Gtf2hZQlOGVER16uemmzR #NowPlaying #fediplay

Time to pivot to Tycho's sunrise set at this year's Burning Man. https://soundcloud.com/tycho/waypoint-burning-man-sunrise-set-2018 #NowPlaying #fediplay

- Nagel-adjacent cover art ✅
- hazy post-vaporwave production ✅
- strong use of 80s synths noises ✅
- piano on track 2 is a total "Sailing" rip-off ✅
- budget Fripp guitar over "Sailing" rip-off piano ✅ ✅ ✅

all features, no bugs

Happy Saturday, y'all. This morning's tunes are courtesy of a little band called Surfing. https://ssurfing.bandcamp.com/album/deep-fantasy

And that's the story of the Average White Band joke I was unable to make.

True story, I was at a wedding last week and I wanted to make an Average White Band joke while the newlyweds were cutting the cake and for the life of me I couldn't remember the name of the _other_ well-known AWB song, which is of course "Pick Up the Pieces." Oh well.

#FunkyFriday indeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75bYDYLSP0o #nowplaying #fediplay

I start off every day with the three Ss: shit, shave, Steve Perry
