I am listening to ABBA's brand new song ("I still have faith in you") on repeat
I just heard it today on the radio - sounds pretty good after 40 year hiatus ?
Will give the album a spin (so to speak) on Spotify
Ok, that's enough Placebo. Something else for a Friday night then.
A night of classics, some old favourites: A few from The Stranglers (Golden Brown, No More Heroes, Waltzinblack), Queen (Who Wants To Live Forever, The Show Must Go On, Bohemian Rhapsody), Dire Straits (Brothers In Arms, Telegraph Road), The Beatles (A Day In The Life...), Supertramp (Child Of Vision, Rudy, Take The Long Way Home), Bono & Luciano Pavarotti (Miss Sarajevo) among others.
Destroyer -- a classic from yesteryear from a great band I used to listen to all the time ... and still do these many years later. Paranoia deep destroyer ... It will wreck your health, destroy your friends, destroy yourself.
I had never heard of this Australian. I just looked him up and see that he had quite a career. Some new albums for me to explore. Thanks for the recommendation.
I was in my office studying (Field and Waves as I recall) one evening, probably 1980 or 81, and listening to a local FM station on my Sansui QR-4500, when this song came on. I had never heard of Billy Thorpe at that time, but really liked this song and the way the drums moved from left to right and front to back. I decided to go find the album next time I was at the Base Exchange and found there were many other songs that I liked on that album. I have since ripped the vinyl album into my iTunes library.
Listen to this with headphones:
Woke up with "Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes" in my head, and not sure why, and am listening now to the whole Graceland album. I'm finding some of the lyrics, particularly Boy in the Bubble, apropos in these weird times. I'm not Paul Simon's biggest fan but this album has always been a presence with some crumbs of truth, a voice, a soundtrack to some hard-to-define life moments. I haven't listened to it in many years, so now am letting it color the landscape of my day.

I became the boss recently which has led to a bunch of stress...
I never thought I'd want to go back to being an NCO but I no kidding want to have my employees (to include me) hit the mat and work out problems there. I have a SNCO and a civilian that are at each other throat every day, a young officer that thinks his computer screen is his life and here I am trying to get them all functional. The reality is that I want to get them all into a "functional fitness center" and choke them all out......
The sad part is I get up every morning and run or ruck with the soldiers and at lunch I run or lift with the civilians, while I've gotten in far better shape over the last few months I'm out of ideas acceptable ideas to bond the factions. The worst part is my guys are both right in there respective areas but I can't make them talk to each other they just talk at each other.
