@DavidBruchmann@mastodon.world @bencourtice@aus.social I always take it to mean "old geezer"

@overholt@glammr.us Glad you're seeing it at the Muppet Theatre!

@jerzone @enigmatico

@TheVinylApe@cupoftea.social Feel better soon, Ape.

@TheVinylApe@cupoftea.social you have a [i]sub-[/i]library?

@TheVinylApe@cupoftea.social Ah, I do like your reviews a lot; I read most of them, even if they're not my kind of music. Like this one; I never "got" R.E.M. somehow. Just like, back in the day, I didn't get The Smiths or Oasis. But this makes me want to check them out again, see if my opinion/taste changed and if I can embrace them, somehow; I do like R.E.M. members, as I cannot stand the frontmen of the other two mentioned bands.

@octothorpe@mastodon.online Nope. His recording roster is fascinating. As some things got recorded in a waaaaay different era than they were released, it is sometimes fun to see the actual roster.

@octothorpe@mastodon.online Then, four days later, he recorded Pink Cashmere.

@octothorpe@mastodon.online Candy was part of the "ones that knew him best"-interviews in the Guardian, yesterday. I love how she always shares sides to Prince we never knew. Or the image of her mum and Prince watching shows together. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/apr/17/gaze-stars-gonna-be-up-there-one-day-prince-those-who-knew-him-best-10-years-after-death

@octothorpe@mastodon.online Wow! I am jealous! Beautiful. The entire piece is inspiring.

@octothorpe@mastodon.online When we were allowed to attend soundchecks, shows and got first dibs on aftershows... AWESOME tour. BEST aftershow I ever attended in person (Bataclan, Paris: https://princevault.com/index.php?title=29_October_2002-am ) "Good morning 2 Uuuuuu"

@octothorpe@mastodon.online I mean, listen to THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc3a8AcVCSQ He played EVERY instrument other than brass. Did every Prince voice, lay down on the floor (see cover of Old Friends) etc. There are at least two recordings of this show and one of them was recorded nearer me than the other, as you can hear me shout "Oh, come ONNNN!" just after he breaks up the NPG in the MFin house chant. (grin) Never fails to put a smile on my face. But yeah; NPG in THIS funky house, it WAS.

@octothorpe@mastodon.online Unless it's...

@charmedlassie The Toad of Change!

@octothorpe@mastodon.online Have. You. Seen. Her. New Book. ????. It's awesome. She was on UK breakfast tele promoting a few months back, and to just hear that Scottish accent, made me metl all over again.

@octothorpe@mastodon.online Both Paisley Park Remix and the extended of Girl are in my song top 5, most of the time

Ute Lemper's Weiman songs is a gay theme I do not mind making a knee fall for... The way she rolls them R's and gurgles them G's; it's like a perfect time machine.
