    I feel like i can count on my hands the number of Switch game sales I've seen, and I've had the console since launch

    apparently Spandau Ballet's goal was to be the "antithesis of rock music", but also said they take heavy inspiration from "jazz, blues, and soul"

    uh...boys? yall ever learned about the origins of rock music? yall ever taken a music history course? someone's gotta tell them

    also i find it funny that the description implies that devo never did anything past the early 80s, which isn't true even to this day

    devo did an album as recently as 2010

    even when this came out, devo had last made an album in 1990........

    the dvd: devo hasn't done anything since the early 80's :'(
    Gerald V Casale: what about the many things we did after the early 80's
    the dvd: it's almost like I can still hear Jerry talking...

    Love for Sale by Talking Heads almost reminds me of a TMBG song (edit: tried to put like 4 thinking emojis here, am not a smart man)

    last night i set up a VM (first time using virtualization on my new computer btw :0 it works well!!) to run a program that'll allow me to export cd+g graphics from cd+g's into .avi files!! i've been really into digitally preserving my media recently. i now have the hard drive space to do it, so why shouldn't i?

    I have an unspoken appreciation for this b-side(?) of Music for the Masses. it's literally just Martin Gore playing Moonlight Sonata, which is my favorite classical piano piece :')

    Moonlight Sonata was one of the preset demo songs on my first keyboard (a Casio LK-44)

    deep-cleaned the front closet today!! reorganized everything, condensed a bit, put the sliding closet doors on the rails (i don't believe the sliding doors had ever properly been installed to begin with, but i "fixed" it)...

    also found a few things we'd been looking for, so that's a bonus!!

    not that I don't like the blue album, it's just really out of place in that daily mix

    that research study gave me a compensation big enough that I was able to get my dad something for Father's day
