yeah it’s a funny thing at a bunch of levels

one is that you wrote him personally in the most public of forums where tweets compete like sperms racing for the egg

but the real funny is how you trashed him there and therefore you refuse to do it here.

im not saying it’s ridiculous— on the contrary. it’s a nice form of discrimination.

not saying that word (‘discrimination”) in the prejudicial sense that we use it most these days, but in the sense of critically separating one thing from the other that’s not the same. discernment

anyway i don’t even understand myself. but i did laugh. how can i explain a joke i didn’t even make? you tell me

Not direct quotes, but basically that’s the gist of it. Probably did it 20 times.

Unsurprisingly, he didn’t @ me back.

your sperm did not reach the egg is what im thinking

jjeezus fucking christ so many epic songs here i lost count

i need a massive nap now

Hell yeah. There aren’t a lot of bands whose greatest hits albums can hold my attention, but all you have to do is press play on a Cure comp, and you’re set.

This is the one with the bonus acoustic disc, right? Or am I thinking of Galore? Oh well. Both of them, along with their ‘80s best of Staring at the Sea, are in my box of physical albums somewhere. As is every studio album and a fair number of the reissues.

I don’t Cure as often as I once did, but when I Cure, I Cure hard.

yeah, this is the one that came with the bonus acoustic ‘disc,’ and was curated by robert smith not the label. had not listened to the cure in ages either, but damn this was so great.

back in the cd days staring at the sea was mandatory luggage for my roadtrips along with changesbowie (speaking of great compliations). those live in some unnumbered carbdboard box now. i gotta download decluttr & send them away.

I didn't know about the acoustic disc. That's cool.

ChangesBowie is a good comp, but despite Bowie being very much a “best of” artist in terms of popular culture — read: his singles at more well know by he average bear than his albums — I find that all I really need or want are his full albums. And only a few of them. Gimme “Station to Station,” “Low” and “Blackstar” and I’m pretty much good.

Oddly the same is not true of Prince. I love Prince’s albums, but slap on a greatest hits or singles record and I will let that fucker play through.

No Ziggy Stardust in your list? Love that album.

Like it. Like Hunky and Aladdin and Lodger and Let’s Dance too. But Bowie for me can largely be distilled and captured by his best moments, none of which are glam-era. “Station” is m’fave.

[noisereductions]

As noted I've been listening to a lot of Dino Jr. I think I sometimes forget how much I love this band.

yeah, pretty decent, stopped playing for a while till a few years ago. Working towards having a legit studio.
You? I'm surprised to see so many familiar members here after so long.
