The quintessential 70s album, the perfect antidote to late-60s naivety. 'What's going on' is the definitive soundtrack to tumultuous times; an emotional marriage of soul and wisdom; maybe the best concept album ever recorded. And a serious contender for #5albums70sfinal

It's a great album! But—and I shit you not here—I have no idea how it snuck into my collection either. Maybe a job lot? (Or, more likely, fairies.)

Thanks for sharing all that great vinyl (and that beautiful deck!)

By my calculations it will only take you until April 9th 2054 to get there!

I hope they sort that out soon—if they do, and you go back to your original account let me know and I'll change the link in the pack. But who knows, you might love the new start!

I'm loving your continuing #MusicByNumbers saga, Cat—I think you're actually going to make it to ELO's 10538 Overture!

Thank you Julie for having such immaculate taste in music!

Wiz Ball @wizball50.bsky.social · 2h

Thanks for being such a strong part of the community!

Wiz Ball @wizball50.bsky.social · 2h

That's the great thing about music H, it brings the emotion first!

Wiz Ball @wizball50.bsky.social · 2h

I think we've a great music community growing here on Bluesky, thanks to posters like you. And if that pack stops even one person from going back to twitter it'll be worth it!

Wiz Ball @wizball50.bsky.social · 2h

Wouldn't be the same without you! I've come across a few people who've decided to go back to Twitter recently because of 'low engagement'. And it pisses me off, because they're just engaging with the wrong people. So that was the inspiration for putting it together!

Thank you for bringing the rock man 🤘

Thank you Ismua for all your great posts!

I have to say, these glad girls who only want to get you high sound a lot better than just 'alright'...

Wiz Ball @wizball50.bsky.social · 5h

So nice of you to say man—Cheers, and I'm glad you liked it!

Wiz Ball @wizball50.bsky.social · 5h

Not at all man, I'm lucky to have you on my timeline!

Wiz Ball @wizball50.bsky.social · 6h

If there's anyone out there who'd like a little more music chat on their timeline, here's a sampling of some of my favourite musos on here, and a few feeds too, for good measure.

If you're on there and you'd rather not be, just drop us a comment or @ me.

I'd have All Together Now on there. Probably instead of Hello, Goodbye...

Wiz Ball @wizball50.bsky.social · 7h

You don't know what I go through...

Wiz Ball @wizball50.bsky.social · 9h

Great song. Always gives me Joy Division vibes, especially Atmosphere, and that's a very good thing.

Wiz Ball @wizball50.bsky.social · 9h

I did Joni Mitchell. And I've no regrets, coyote...

The last time I had an MRI they gave me headphones to listen to.

But when the 'calming' radio came on, it turned out only one headphone was working properly, the other buzzing annoyingly.

And then they started barking instructions down the headphones I stress-inducing couldn't hear.

Two Bob Birthdays in one day. We just need Bob Pollard to have been born today too for the triple crown!
