Reached another with serious Aura™. Still like Maiden (and Takin') better and never realized how much of Empyrean is carried by *Carter* (middles of "Oliloqui" and "Egg" the peaks of the album?), but my God what a gorgeous cover
Been slowly/belatedly converting my collection to FLAC and was stopped short anew by this cover. Long time since I pulled it but some combo of low angle + apocalyptic skies + wobbly font + Naomi's swirly earrings = genuine Presence. Music's pretty decent too iirc.

No show tonight on account of heavy rain that I don’t wanna bike through; your weekly CD pic comes courtesy of the latest hauls. Back next weekend!
In a world dense with competition, my favorite Beethoven symphony recordings have long been the ones by Blomstedt with the Staatskapelle Dresden. R.I.P.

This whole infantilization of Haley Stevens is ridiculous. She’s an adult woman who has always been awful, and she found a partner just as ugly as she is. If you were friends with her that’s on your poor judgment, not on a poor helpless girl bewitched by a toxic strong man.
What role did @HaleyforMI's fiancé play in her decision, and on the preceding campaign?
LEGACKI: Suddenly in May, this guy Jason shows up. All of a sudden he's everywhere. It was very alarming.
Not enough people signed up for this to make it happen. Star Wars and Harry Potter bullshit is all this city deserves

Fifth and likely final Halloween show, 12am AST @CKDU881FM. Something I've come to learn is that popular music—especially compared to film and lit—really struggles to convey true horror or even spookiness. But there's nothing to say we can't have a dumb haunted-house party anyway

Greil Marcus became such a corny sentimental gasbag (not that he had far to go) that it’s getting to the point where I can’t go a week without revisiting Richard Meltzer’s teardown

Kid Creole’s influence on Prince 👑, is a little like Queen’s, & Shuggie Otis’s influence on Prince - generally missed in favor of the more obvious ones (Sly, JB, Carlos, Jimi, Stevie…). Thing is, the not so upfront, or obvious influences have just as much weight.
