#TBH I'm not really into these "nostalgia" tours, especially when it's bands that I already saw "back in the day". But #Detroit legend #LeneLovich is opening. That's some pretty awesome icing on a pretty cool cake, eh? #Music #NewWave #ClassicRock #Devo #B52s https://www.metrotimes.com/music/the-b-52s-and-devo-announce-co-headlining-tour-with-pine-knob-stop-39698770

No reason other than I've seemingly licked a hellish stomach virus ... so, take 5 !!

* - went down quite the rabbit hole here ... apparently first recorded in 1975 and possibly not released until 1983?

Music and reading have been so important to me throughout my life. And have been essential in the last couple of weeks.

And I’m having a bit of a renaissance with both.

I recently got my (incomplete) #TerryPratchett collection, and have started reading again. Currently reading #TheTruth.

Have also rediscovered the #B52s - new favourites include #Wig and #GirlFromIpanemaGoesToGreenland.

Caught this on radio while swamp driving the other day... Wild song, & puro B52s.

"The neighbors are complaining, it's getting out of hand... throw that beat in the garbage can."

"It's driving me crazy!
AH HAH HAH HAH!"

Stop that beat
It makes me apprehensive
Sweat ruins my clothes
They are very expensive

Re-listening now...
Wild & crazy song! From the great B52's

If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says / “15 miles to the ♫ Love Shack ♫

Weekly challenge time: Try writing a song with MORSE CODE!

Think "YYZ" (Rush) with its airport-code rhythm, or Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 intro (code for "V").

Encode a message with rhythm (musical cryptogram anyone?) or use it as a hidden texture like "Planet Claire" (B-52s) or "Landing of the Daleks" (The Earthlings).

Bonus points for hidden messages!
