Because corroboration from another person would've been very helpful.
I know. I had heard of the Mandela effect regarding this album, but I could not remember what the result was.
I wouldn't have done the dadgum research if I hadn't wanted to. I want you to know that, despite my prior display of agitation.

The 10 Albums We're Most Excited About in February
Featuring Katy Kirby, The Weather Station, Cloud Nothings and more.

Some interesting releases this month: The video for The Weather Station is intriguing (at least to me). If I were a betting man, I would imagine that Nick might have an interest in Brijean, as I do.

Countless instances where I have listened to an album for the first time and found myself not liking it. Then the next time I listen to it, I enjoy it.

Saw the name of a band called Tintin Quarantino.
That is such a good band name.

The obligatory Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announcement of potential nominees (the final slate will be announced in May:
The nominees are:
Happy they're considering Fela and New York Dolls
It's probably about time to change the H of F's name as we've gotten past the era of true rockers (and now most are in it). Using a broader definition, I'd welcome folks like Dionne Warwick who is not rock, alternative, or hip hop, but had probably more hits that any of the other folks on the list.
Along with the obligatory announcement comes the obligatory thoughts that the Rock HofF really doesn't matter and has weird capricious criteria
Still as someone who's been there several times (I lived in Cleveland a year and have been back), it's a really fun place to see
The nominees are:
- Mary J. Blige (First-time nominee)
- Kate Bush (Previously nominated in 2018, 2021)
- Devo (Previously nominated in 2019, 2021)
- Foo Fighters (First-time nominee)
- The Go-Go’s (First-time nominee)
- Iron Maiden (First-time nominee)
- JAY-Z (First-time nominee)
- Chaka Khan (Previously nominated in 2016, 2017, 2021)
- Carole King (Previously nominated in 1989, 2021)
- Fela Kuti (First time nominee)
- LL Cool J (Previously nominated in 2010, 2011, 2014, 2018, 2019, 2021)
- New York Dolls (Previously nominated in 2001, 2021)
- Rage Against the Machine (Previously nominated in 2018, 2019, 2021)
- Todd Rundgren (Previously nominated in 2019, 2020, 2021)

And speaking about last.fm (in another thread), a bit late but been meaning to post
Yes, still scrobble here and last year hit 19,495 scrobbles. This was up 16% from my prior year and my best year since 2014
Sure some of this were due to listening to earlier, shorter songs/albums earlier in my annual listening series but much of it was represented a greater focus on music listening - for that I am happy
(OTOH starting out a bit slow out of the 2019 gate due to a busier work schedule)

Here's how Rush Limbaugh captured America's dads
To explain the rise of Rush Limbaugh, who died on Wednesday at age 70, in the early 90s, it helps to understand that, in large parts of America at least, he read as a not your grandfather's buttoned-up Republicanism. He wasn't cool, exactly, but he appealed to middle-aged Boomers who were still...
