Musicological banter

Went and saw Stop Making Sense at the IMAX last night… quite amazing.  I don't think I've watched it in 20+ years.

Also, my new retired pal Bob Boilen sat right in front of me.

I hadn't seen one with Chris and David next to each other but I found one.

Hmm…when I go there it say 'video has no sound'

Weird. It works on my phone but not on my PC.

Uh oh… someone from a society of privileged old white men just called Taylor Swift dumb and that her music sucks

Me thinks they are going to find out very quickly how fast Swifties swing into action

wow, he even took a swing at Olivia Rodrigo
dang "lesser pop stars from previous generations such as Phil Collins, or pop stars I don’t personally care that much for, such as Madonna"
so he's saying both of those examples are lesser pop stars…showing he knows absolutely nothing about Pop

the whole thing is "classic rock done by dudes is the only music worth listening to"

Then  boy am I ever getting it wrong these days as a mediocre white male

And it’s just scandalous that every damn year Paul Rodgers gets snubbed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and some non rock artists gets in.

This was my thought too. Whose the white haired guy he is playing with.

Man cave audio enthusiasts can finally rest easy as Aja has finally been released in HiRez… gotta have something to listen to on all that expensive gear

also out today is a new Steven Wilson who I believe is catnip for the "Still Listens To Steely Dan" crowd

i stick with a marvelous new single from Dee C. Lee(The Style Council), and albums from Say She She, The Sextones, Don Letts and Vistas thank you very much

Don’t play the hits! Rarities are one of the great joys of live music

I prefer covers.
