If Music Could Talk

I enjoy Ultravox. Vienna is great in an overblown grandiose way yet simplistic.

Ther...

I was having a hard time picturing him in Power Station! I'd like to think Robert Palmer wouldn't put up with that. You don't think Robert Palmer isn't addicted to treating black caterers well?

I care! RTF FTW

It was great, it's crazy to think that he is the age he is without developing any kind of arthritis or whatever (seemingly).

Threw on Hugh Laurie's blues record for some background noise while working because I remembered it being pretty okay. It fucking rips, man! Apart from maybe Shatner's Has Been, are there any other vanity records by a famous person that succeed as actual music? Been a while since I listened to it, ...
