TIL
somewhat recently that Topper had written drums, piano and that unbelievably funky bass line to the Clash's Rock the Casbah.
which was very unusual as strummer/jones wrote most and of course their biggest single

but I just found out the person who played the bass on the recording was Ian and the Blockhead's Norman Watt-Roy

Well it was clearly a productive day!

Anyone notice this?

It's May and the amphitheather tour circuit seems really underbooked, with most concerts numbering at under 30 shows for any random venue. Iirc, most tours were booked by the end of April for the summer.

I never realized Thomas Dolby played the synths on Pyromania. He was credited under a made up name.

"Booker T. Boffin" - a quality pseudonym!

But look at the Red Rocks schedule. Absolutely packed with great shows covering all genres almost every night.

Great rejoicing was heard in the man cave audio set as Qobuz finally released Qobuz Connect which they have working on for ever and there was much kvetching about.

From what I can tell it’s a way to stream natively/directly to a variety of streaming hardware and not rely on Chromecast which doesn’t support the higher resolutions that Qobuz supports.


Now not owning any of these fancy streaming devices, I have nothing to compare against.  But, the one nifty feature is that I can listen to something on my phone and switch to the computer and it knows where I left off and picks up.

I kind of think no one does and it’s an Emperors New Clothes thing.

Ok fine. We can carve out a Sugarcubes exception.

amazing
Something about that album just blew me away as a teenhatch
It was so different than everything else out there

Ive always felt that the excessive compression on Signals - which renders it unlistenable - is one of the worst tragedies of the era.

I mean, besides the, y’know, actual problems.

What I’m trying to say is that it’s a great album that’s painful to listen to. I sometimes still do though.
