i got out of the sonos game, it was annoying

hey friends, this my account for posting the 70s and 80s records (and sometimes some other stuff) that come by my turntable and spotify.

you might know me from my charity playlists at #TenForTen2020 and for my much-publicized devotion to #yachtrock and other smooth music.

discogs in the profile to track the out-of-print, not-streaming stuff I hunt down; spotify for So. Many. Playlists.

i'm a dad and i like dad music.

Steve Lukather NFTs begone from the universe

this morning i finally got my hands on one of my holy-grail records and the feeling of getting an album you've been searching for YEARS and it is EVERY BIT as good as you hoped, oooh baby it just makes everything better

It's a great tragedy that "let's play contemporary hit music behind our tv show" was not invented until 1984 because a lot of early 80s cop shows would be improved by "ride like the wind"

Apple Music editorial staff gets into wild opinions

best????? Album??????

Really getting tired of Christian yacht rock, there is so much of it and yes, it sounds “right” for the era and style but it’s all soul saving and no soul

getting grumpy in the yacht rock discord and declaring that I will subtract 25 points on the yachtski scale from all CCM tracks

important: a rare phototo (photo of toto)

ken soto gave himself sole songwriting credit lol

been listening to more citypop to add to the @fm catalog and this is song is an absolutely shameless ripoff of Home At Last by Steely Dan (especially the beginning and end). I am actually astounded Becker and Fagen don't get songwriting credits. I think if DF heard this there'd be a court case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8FcDA-6tsk

i got this emoji for you @djsundog

richard marx is one of those guys who would absolutely have been one of the main yacht rock guys if he was like 5 years older

i have already transcribed the lyrics

remove:
all the digital synth stuff (lead, bass, bells)
piano
drum machine

add:
rhodes
live drums
live bass
clean rhythm guitar
a guitar solo before the last chorus and fadeout

my friends on the yacht rock discord brought this song to my attention which is a song that is only ever heard diagetically in the kevin costner vehicle No Way Out and was never released, it is too late to be yacht rock, the production and instrumentation are all wrong, but the song ITSELF is undoubtedly and extremely yachty and i am working myself up to recording my own cover that restores its rightful vibes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf-eW_5_Q_o
