    @Fella @Elric you guys ever heard of this italian progressive/baroque pop album from 1974 by Lucio Battisti?

    some of it genuinely sounds like 21st century neo-psych in a way, like Flaming Lips or MGMT or even AnCo. but still feels like it has a foot in the era's type of baroque/folk arrangements and the stuff italian prog bands were doing.

    allegedly conceived after a taking a trip to hear all the goatness Latin American musicians were cooking up

    I just watched the Todd Haynes film Velvet Goldmine and I was kinda floored when they started playing my favorite song from this year (Steve Harley’s Tumbling Down) in it. They left out the beautiful final few minutes of the song, but it was still kind of a magical moment regardless.

    You get to hear Thom Yorke sing Roxy Music songs. It’s awesome.

    I haven’t but apparently it was all too emotional at the time for him to release it. I’ll get back to you on it. I’m really curious now.

    I thought that was very good and it’s a great opening track, but I’m about halfway through the album and it’s honestly not doing much for me. Most of the tracks are too short and I’m not getting much emotion out of it.

    White Lines was pretty good too. I might just not be as big of a Neil Young guy as I thought. I even revisited Tonight’s The Night and I honestly only connect with the second half.

    I feel bad for Bolan cause Bowie technically followed in his footsteps in alot of ways but always managed to do it bigger and better. female backup singers like this pinched and outmatched on Young Americans for instance.
