I'm sure that message was supposed to end with a period.

I'm in. 37 years later, I still have the Norton Critical Edition I read in college.

Sinead O'Connor - Just Like U Said It Would B

I mean, anything on The Lion and the Cobra would qualify, but this one’s great…

Domkirk is my favourite, but they're all great. Lots of great live stuff on Bandcamp as well.

Bishop Joey (he/him) @bishopjoey.bsky.social · 1d

Ouch. That's a sad one, especially for the D&R crew. (82's not a bad innings for a rock star, but still hard.)

I had to get my own DVD of this one to watch it again. So good. And the soundtrack. *Mwah*

Moby Dick @mobydickatsea.bsky.social · 2d

What is a Fast-Fish? Alive or dead a fish is technically fast, when it is connected with an occupied ship or boat, by any medium at all controllable by the occupant or occupants,—a mast, an oar, a nine-inch cable, a telegraph wire, or a strand of cobweb, it is all the same.

Yes!

But, **Nooooo!**

Looking forward to what you do next, but I ***love*** Starship Iris.

Bishop Joey (he/him) @bishopjoey.bsky.social · 2d

There are worse earworms. (Story I've told for 40+ years: Strip tour, at an amphitheatre in nearly the last row of seats. This song starts and a girl asks me to focus her binoculars, saying 'If I don't see Adam strip, I'll *die*!'
It was alright - he also didn't strip down until You're So Physical.

Bishop Joey (he/him) @bishopjoey.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, I could happily do an 80s Psychedelic Furs Top 30 even though they only released about 80 songs in the decade. (My pick today was Into You Like a Train, alternates all over the catalogue.)

Bishop Joey (he/him) @bishopjoey.bsky.social · 2d

True. TRex yes, but no pancakes.

Bishop Joey (he/him) @bishopjoey.bsky.social · 2d

Huzzah for the Dutch system.

When I took my first office job in the Czech Republic and read that I got statutory 4 weeks vacation, I decided I wouldn't be returning from Europe. (That and trams that arrived on schedule. 15 years of Bay Area public transit had just about done me in.)

Bishop Joey (he/him) @bishopjoey.bsky.social · 2d

Too short a visit! Huzzah for matching bunnies, though.

So many gems in their 80s catalogue, so even this choice is a little random, but so great.
