It's a little confusing on the band name front...as I'm a big fan of Bob Mould's 90s period of releases...when he also went by Sugar.   3:20pm
Victrola Tom: Greetings from Roland Garros! Rock & Roll for me! ♥ 3:21pm
Joemama:

↳ Van Winkle ;-) @3:20

I hear ya. I'm still using Spotify (I know...) and there's another band named Sugar that keeps popping up in my new music. Spotify doesn't seem to care.   3:25pm
Van Winkle ;-):

↳ Joemama @3:21

It can't care...it's not human!!!
;-)

I pay for Spotify premium because I had to severely downsize a few years ago & it was the better option than losing access to lots of past purchases & favourite artists/songs. It's a "non-ideal" situation.

Van Winkle ;-):

↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:50

I'm not much into You Tube. I like to listen to music, so premium allows me to self-curate with no annoying ads...plus I never take any recommendations from their algos & creeping ai-overtake. My ears enjoy music. You Tube ads/algos are such an annoying aspect...& If you need to pay anyways...at least Spotify premium allows you to toggle off any, or in my case...all...of their recommendations.

In human curation & selection we trust!!!
That's what makes Toddaphonic & several of the other shows on fmu's Rock N Soul stream, particularly on Saturdays...such a listening "must"!

Curious, did you catch that “Eras tour” concert movie documentation? If so, what did you make of it? I am a casual Swift appreciator (mostly via my nieces & nephews exposure). Yet when we excitedly attended that “epic” concert movie in a theatre = we were deeply disappointed in its tone & overall qualities of vacuousness-nesses. 🤷‍♂️
What I had admired with her song & sound was tainted by its shallower commercial qualities. 🤨🙃   5:12pm
Van Winkle ;-):

↳ Hoboken Jack @4:55

I can commiserate on battery issues. My PT Cruiser had endless (& $$$) battery issues for years...I finally got it back from the repair shop yesterday...new alternator & I'm ready to roll down the highway again!
I was getting ready to scrap it. The only thing worse than a car that won't start...is a car that won't stop! Fortunately the brakes are newish too.   5:15pm
Willy Hayes: Looking up this band name, I get Portugese, or Hungarian/Italian. They don't sound like those nationalities.   5:16pm
Van Winkle ;-):

I never caught the Taylor doc/tour film myself...but I recently caught the Billie Eilish one & I really enjoyed & highly recommend. I needed to get up-to-speed on her ...and I was impressed.   5:19pm

Sounds like a good time! … I’m a fan of
the Billie & Finneas family sound & their general vibe. Heard her quality interviews on Fresh Air & a few others. Thanks. The same month we attended the Eras tour concert movie - we also attended the quite diff vibe’d Beyoncé concert movie celebration of “Renaissance tour” = enjoyed it much more & didn’t feel that same level & crush of corporate pandering & grandiose self absorption. 🎸 ♥ 5:31pm

Chrysler parts are such a drag to source...but my guy found a new one for under $200. That was the deciding factor for keep the 2008 with under 60k miles (92K km) on the road a little longer. I should have learned my lesson in the early 90s when I had a late 60s Rootes/Chrysler Sunbeam Rapier Fastback that was also tricky to get parts for. I mostly walk or bus/transit these days. Cars are a bit of a luxury for us city dwellers.   ♥ 5:53pm
