The Weather Station's Ignorance is really good. I can't believe it's taken me this long to get into Tamara Lindeman's music. Ahead of the pack one day, embarrassingly late for the party the next...

Yeah, no, I don't like that song. Salsa is for pasta, thank you. Anyway, what I was thinking about was what, if I'm not mistaken, Willie Colón said about David Byrne after working with him on Rei Momo - that Byrne was the whitest guy alive or whitest guy ever or summat. Colón was pissed!

You're right I'm right. I'd suggest better editing, but soon we won't be able to edit. Or reply. Or simply post.

Kool thing, I was just gonna post about that. Currently there are TWO copies left at £69.99 GBP (or more ) plus shipping.

Back to the vaccine, why are you just getting your first shot? Here, eligibility for our age group (assuming you're more or less my age, bullcrap Vietnam stories notwithstanding ) started months ago. You slow First World mofos!

Rei Momo is not exactly the best record in David Byrne's catalog, but I disagree. First, Byrne and Brian Eno were using African and African-derived music (from Fela to funk and disco to Latin American rhythms) as non-exclusive building blocks (other influences certainly came into play) to create something Neu! —er, I mean, new . Joni Mitchell beat them all to the punch in this sense, though, sampling included: listen to 1975's "The Jungle Line". Shit, even the Stones pretty much unintendedly did: how about Mick Taylor's solo on 1971's "Can't You Hear Me Knocking". And in the mid-to-late '70s you had Can's cheekily named "Ethnological Forgery Series", to say nothing of Jon Hassell's "Fourth World"... BUT I DIGRESS. Second, and much more to the point, if what Willie Colón expected was to make an album of "authentic", "pure" musical forms from Cuba to Brazil, then what the heck was he doing working with Byrne; he should have just stuck to recording with his Latin American friends.

One remaining copy left for sale now for the Ocean Songs deluxe. Looking forward to play the live rendition!

About vaccinations:
I'm from 1972 and made my appointment three weeks ago and yesterday was the slot that was provided to me. In today's news it's announced that the last eligible year (2003) can make their appointment.
So I assume they must have ramped it up in between somehow to cover all the years in between.

Anyway, now playing:

Oh, you're an old timer. Eh, whatchagon'do. I'm sure you had a nice life. Seriously, though, if you lived here you would have received your first shot on April 12 and your second on May 10. On the other hand, if you lived here you'd have almost nothing like the public healthcare system you're used to over there, not to mention you'd have to endure smog-infested winters (and I don't mean Smog or (Smog)).

I’ll probably just reply in whatever way is easiest, thanks

I’m never not on my phone when I’m on this board, and it’s not the most mobile friendly place. Anyway, we’ll see?

Ohhh, trolling again. How clever.

That brain-dead piece of shit band was an embarrassment to anyone with a halfway decent pair of ears, wherever their place on this fucking planet.

I have an eloquent reply to this (which in turn, with other people joining, could turn into something constructive or at least more diverse instead of a zero-sum game), but what's the point in wasting my time; you obviously don't want a decent discussion, you're just devolving into a 12-year-old third-rate bully. All of this while the board goes down in flames. When I see posts like yours, I can't say I'm gonna miss this place that much after all.
