I liked that Psykup track. I think I recognised the backing sax player, Ferdinand Doumerc, who has played with all sorts of bands in the Toulouse area, for instance with Stabat Akish, who released a album under the Tzadik label (John Zorn). A bit jazzy experimental.

I've started a new method of generating playlists.  100 random albums, sort by date, album title, then track #.  The idea is to spiral them but each spiral lasts 2-7 days at the most.

The one in front looks to me like Aurelio Voltaire.  I have this thing about him.  He's unbelievably hot.


Fantomas - Experiment in Terror





Doves - The Man Who Told Everything





John Spencer Blues Explosion - Wail




Annihilator - Crystal Ann / Alison Hell






I was this cool the whole time.

My wife thinks Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins sound similar. I'm like.. do they really? 🤔

Well, they both sound sick.  Peter Gabriel sounds like he's going to cough up his lungs at any moment, and Phil Collins desperately needs an antihistamine.  I feel like I'm listening to a wall of boogers when I hear Collins, whom I've nicknamed Charlie Brown.  I can't forgive them for that horrible "Illegal Alien" song (that's right knock 3/4 of my heritage, guys), so they've been cancelled for 40 years. 

Out of all the singers that sound like they're going to be sick right in front of you, I think I would rather Roger Chapman more than any others, because his is the voice that reaps the most long-term listening rewards for me.  Bonnie Tyler croaking Mike Oldfield's "Islands" at the top of her lungs, sounding like that voice is going to go any second, is a long-term favourite as well. 

David Thomas wins the award for unique singers.  There is something about his sense of space and timing that puts even Sinatra in the shade.  Yes he does sound something like a fat baby goat but that only adds to his charm.

Hard agree and also I love that description lol

I find Peter Gabriel's very nasal voice acting in Genesis to be more or less grating, but then really like his vocals once he gets into his solo career. It's weird.

To my ears, he sounds great on that above track and elsewhere, like on So.

Phil Collins' voice doesn't do much for me. I much prefer Gabriel.

Didn't bother with them at all after "Illegal Alien."  I dutifully like a fan bought the album the day of publication, was greeted with That Song and all Genesis and Genesis related records got made into flowerpots, long since buried to become shrubberies.  When people show their true colours like that I just don't have any life left for them, you know what I mean?  I was saddened when I had to do that to Alice Cooper and Carlos Santana but when they have to go they have to go.

Cancelled Roger Waters too, but David Gilmour has my back for the Pink Floyd material he's on.

Illegal Alien is pretty bad, but at least Peter Gabriel didn't have anything to do with that one. I haven't really been interested in Genesis output in the 80s anyways.

What did Alice Cooper and Santana do? Murder a woman together?
