| I'm considering "raiding my older brother's record collection from the 80s and 90s" via YouTube and offering up some album running commentaries to see what I might like of his that I never would have considered listening to 30+ years ago and still wouldn't admit to him to wanting to listen to. His music has always been the antithesis of mine; ie. straight, white, male; typically born-in-the-70s blokeish. Anyone fancy a Cardiacs album? Toto IV? Jellyfish? You did a Robyn Hitchcock album last year. Freiheit? Aimee Mann? (his token female artist, as so oft pointed out by me) Divine? The Divine Comedy? - Spoiler:

Is that the one where she's lying down on the front cover? I think that's the one he had/has! |

But what you straight, white, male; typically born-in-the-70s blokeish people don't understand is that's what some us have always aspired to be. And the ones born in 1969. |

| I'd like to do the big hit Missy Elliott LP "Miss E... So Addictive" but it's 57+ minutes long. _________________ The jibbedy-jabber-jaw jabbing at your funny bone, umm... Skip the Ovaltine, I'd rather have my honeycomb

| Did we do a Landscape album on the old forum?
I seem to have a vague recollection... _________________ The jibbedy-jabber-jaw jabbing at your funny bone, umm... Skip the Ovaltine, I'd rather have my honeycomb

| I was thinking of doing Pink Floyd's The Wall. But the Roger Waters 1990 version with Van Morrison singing Comfortably Numb. Sinéad O'Connor singing the woman hating 'Mother.' A quite common theme on that album in retrospect. _________________ I saw weird stuff in that place last night. Weird strange, sick, twisted, eerie, Godless, evil stuff…

| Does anyone want to do Sparklehorse's *copy/paste* Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot (1995)? I know I'll hate it but its front cover has intrigued me for 27 years. If so I'll create a thread; if not then I won't. |

| I do. I think it has Homecoming Queen on it. The most miserable and depressing song of all time. _________________ |
