if we keep posting trite filler like this, perhaps we can create enough space between us, and your desire to not think of 82 year old Smokey Robinson's gasms.

shall we try?
question: given how much plastic surgery and botox smokey has had, what would his O face look like?  can he even make one?

oh, wait, you wanted to NOT think about that.  my bad.

the new Maneskin album cover reminds me of so many 70s/80s covers

Crazy Horse & Neil Young releasing album as Molina, Talbot, Lofgren & Young (stream a track)

The current lineup of Neil Young's band Crazy Horse, along with Neil himself, will be releasing an album as Molina, Talbot, Lofgren & Young. It's called All Roads Lead Home, and it comes out March 31 via Reprise. As Stereogum points out, it features multiple songs written by Ralph Molina, Billy Talbot, and Nils Lofgren, as well as one Neil Young composition, "Song of the Seasons," which was also recorded for 2021's Barn. The first single is "You Will Never Know," a breezy folk rock song penned by Nils Lofgren.

Target Exclusive vinyl is apparently already sold out…

There is a first single called Death Wish available to stream
Sadly the days of $24.99 vinyl are over….

Mostly the only records that are $24.99 at the record store are ones from 2021! And online it’s records that are being cleared out.

I mean matador always held the line on prices and the new Belle and Sebastian and YLT are close to or $40!

It really couldn’t be a worse time to get into vinyl…expensive…poor quality…etc

Meanwhile you can’t give away a cd…CD Cellar hardly carries them and most of the new releases they have are probably free promos…
Word is macca is recording an album with the stones
You'd think that people would have had enough of satisfaction
You’d think people would think it’s kind of cool given the Beatles and Stones go way back so it’s a bit of a closing off the circle. Around 60 years ago George Harrison recommended to Decca (the label had passed on the Beatles saying guitar bands were on the way out and Decca had been crying seeing the Beatles success on Parlophone) that they sign the Stones. McCartney and Lennon gifted them one of the Stones first hits: I wanna be your man (I think). The whole Beatles-Stones “rivalry” was manufactured even if my kid gets excited that let it bleed was a response to let it be.

So even if the Stones and Paul put out a track of them using the loo I think it has potential. I mean hell people at live shows really enjoyed the Stones singing Like a rolling stone with Dylan.

Dudes are in their 80s and track will probably underwhelm - how could it not- but I will still give it a chance
