Yes indeed! His career is a textbook case of quality over quantity 🎶

Excellent, was it a mid 80s gig then? I think the yellow LP and its predecessor are their two strongest albums.

This version of Duppy Conqueror is actually my favourite reggae song of all time. Outstanding 🤩

D’Angelo, Neo-Soul Pioneer and ‘Untitled (How Does It Feel)’ Singer, Dies at 51

Henrik Alsterbo @78alster.bsky.social · 1d

D’Angelo, no! 😱 Devil’s Pie, Spanish Joint, 1000 Deaths and, above all, Till It’s Done all rank among my fave songs from the 21st century. What a talent!

17. Philip Glass: Opening (1982)

Outstanding modern classical piece that bridges the gap btw avant-garde minimalism and mainstream appeal. The clever use of interlocking patterns creates a swirling, ethereal quality that’s soothing and perhaps a bit unsettling.

Synd att Bankeryd respektive Habo centrum ligger 1,5 respektive 2,5 km från stranden. Skulle annars vara bra destinationer om avsikten är att avlasta Kortebovägen. I praktiken är det nog Jkpg C-Huskvarna C som skulle kunna ha potential (utöver turbåt juni-augusti).

18. Twice A Man: Lapwing Territory (1986)

Sweden’s greatest ever electronic band were masters of dark, evocative synthpop. This may very well be the finest moment of their career.

Trump confirms he was a partner in Israel’s genocide:

“Netanyahu would call me so many times asking for weapons I never heard of. But we got them didn’t we? You used them very well.”

In fact they were used so well, as of October 7, 67,173 civilians were killed, of which 20,179 were children.

Yes indeed, I think he was world class in both departments 🎶

Alltså, wow, vilken grej! Hade ingen aning… Hur står sig förresten de senaste 20 säsongerna? Har sett alla avsnitt mellan 90-05 (de flesta många gånger) men efter det nästan inget.

Henrik Alsterbo @78alster.bsky.social · 2d

Yes, great albums, both of them! Would you agree?

19. Big Black: Passing Complexion (1986)

Industrial noise, relentless drum machine beats and endearingly aggressive, off-kilter guitars. This is exactly what rock music ought to sound like 👏

Efter dokumentären om pedofilskandalen på Internationella engelska skolan i Karlstad fortsätter Moderaterna att kampanja med IES för en tuffare skola. Och många i koncernens ledning är just före detta moderater.

Täta band mellan partiet och skolkoncernen • ”Absurt”

20. Kate Bush: Running Up That Hill (1985)

Love the pulsing synths, haunting vocals and ethereal atmosphere of this song.

21. Elvis Costello: I Want You (1986)

My favourite EC track is drenched in jealousy, obsession and raw vulnerabikity, not to mention brilliant, understated musicianship. Pure 🔥

22. Zazou/Bikaye ft. CY1: Mama Lenvo (1983)

Outstanding blend of emotive Congolese vocals, rich melodies and layered electronic textures that buzz, hum and stir. The whole LP is quite stunning.

Daylight saving times should be abolished. We are no longer living in the 19th century, we can do without. It'll be great for mental health, and people hating early darkness during the evening. BST timezone should be permanent

likaså att brödtexten i källan faktiskt anger det som AI-sammanfattningen påstår att den anger. Men det är ju oftast en enkel verifieringsprocess.

Henrik Alsterbo @78alster.bsky.social · 6d

Har hon alltså uttryckligen bett AI ljuga ihop en referenslista? Isf är det ju rent krasst bakom spakarna skiten sitter. Jag använder Copilot rätt mycket i jobbet för att hitta nischade publikationer, och får väldigt bra hjälp. Sedan måste man såklart alltid bedöma källornas trovärdighet/tyngd och

Well put! I bought my first Tom Waits record in October 95 unless I misremember, so exactly 30 years as a fan. 🎶

No other band creates this kind of atmospheric, restrained intensity quite like Wire 👌
