How many bands have taken a 20+ year hiatus and returned with an undeniable banger?
I think the band Hum did this with 2020's "Inlet", which is maybe their best record.

WTF genre is Jim O'Rourke's "The Visitor"?
I love that record so much. It's not really all that weird, but it occurs to me I wouldn't know how to explain it!
Wait, maybe it is super weird...

I have a tape (now a digital file!) of my dad doing his morning radio show from Catskill, New York in 1971 - I just re-discovered it and it's blowing my mind!

There's a throw-away dumb joke in the movie My Bodyguard that caused me to go into a laughing fit that took me hours to recover from - I had to start the day over: take a shower, look out a window, etc. And the future Mrs. King still stuck around!
OK. Nearly just recreated that moment cuz of this:

The first Prince thing after Purple Rain was "4 The Tears in You Eyes" - a thing that seemed like a concession.
And a few months later, you get the combo of "Around the World in a Day", "Paisley Park", and "Condition of the Heart"!
It's a miracle so many people stayed with hime!

The sub-genre that is dudes (mostly) riding the rails - jumping on trains and trying to avoid the 'bulls'.

Sometimes I'll listen to Vin Scully calling some random game (for, you know, "research"). Last week it was a TV call of an early season Dodgers / Giants game from 2013. I'm always amazed at the seemingly effortless, poetic way he went about it.
He was 86 years old at the time!

"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is the greatest song off all time for, like 2 minutes.
I almost don't blame them for fucking it up how they did - you want to keep that delightful train ROLLING!
