Random Music Talk CXXXI: Interference Finally Gets Its Revenge on Cobbler

Ha.

Give me more of this. This, from the notes on her website, made me laugh:

Just saw her debut record on Apple Music - the last track is called Halley

This is cool.



Insane they haven't interviewed Dan Bejar, I hope he was at least asked.

At any rate, this trailer introduced me to "Ride Like the Wind", what a fucking track! I had known of it, through radio and other media, but not the title or who it was by.

That first Christopher Cross album is great, I don’t care what anyone says.

Coincidentally, I went to some of the early screenings of comedy shorts (Channel 101) that contained episodes of the Yacht Rock series. I was already a Steely Dan head by then so I found it very amusing, and it's crazy that almost 20 years later it's lead to this.

No offense to the other artists, and I consider myself a moderate Doobie Brothers fan (both pre-Michael McDonald and after he joined), but Steely Dan really shouldn't be lumped in with a fad kind of movement, even an affectionate one. They tower over every single one of these acts.

I am very, very genuinely considering signing up for this: Songwriting with Brian Eno

I don't have any musical talent whatsoever, but I would like to learn, and I feel like just getting some time with the fucking Brian Eno would be worth it alone.

Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water might genuinely be in my top 10 albums of all time.

Ryan Adam’s finally released Blackhole and I swear two songs from it remind me of Inhaler: “Call Me Back” and “Starfire”.

I know Adams is a problematic artist but I occasionally check in to see what he’s doing (releasing 900 cover songs on streaming services and buying Instagram followers).

Ryan Adams' output in 2024 has been fantastic. Blackhole, Heatwave, Star Sign, Sword & Stone (I rate 1985 a bit lower).
Most artists would kill for one album this good in their entire career, tbh

 

[lazarus]

But would they abuse women artists for one album that good?

John Lennon did

Man Always Gets Little Rush Out Of Telling People John Lennon Beat Wife

NEW ORLEANS—Explaining that casually dropping the little-known fact into conversations “never gets old,” local man Derek Matheson told reporters Monday he always gets a bit of a rush from informing others that John Lennon physically abused his first wife, Cynthia Powell. “Seeing the looks of...

I love "Controversy" the song by Prince so much, in particular that keys/guitar break in the ... would you call it a chorus? The music under the "do I believe in god? Do I believe in me?" lines. It's SO fucking good.

I have incredibly fond memories of Arcade Fire closing with this song in 2014 at Coachella, and then wandering off the stage and through the crowd chanting it in a huge conga line.
