Having reached Sonoluxe I have made a detour to Noise Candy. It’s very tasty the 2014 reissue so naturally I’m enjoying another planet.

Yup, Practically Wired in '95 was the first time....the first time KNOWING that I was hearing Bill. Blah blah blah, repetitive hyperbole; several paragraphs unwritten. This happens to me a lot with music that I've listened to for years or decades. Sometimes I hear it in new ways; I hear new things, and it's always a magical experience, like another expansion of awareness. There was one time a couple years ago with a guitar part from a PW tune, maybe a bit of sweep picking. It blew my mind. Bill chimed in about how yeah "that's why to have to listen ..." (hard ?, carefully?). A few weeks ago it was 2 songs: Friends From Heaven, and Big Yellow Moon. On separate days I played each one over and over, soaking in the complexities and nuances, pretty much jaw agape at the level of...everything. I swear, BYM is an incredibly elegant piece of music, just intensely perfect in every way. That's all 😁

I'm not going to add to the over-population of the internet with cheesy AI-generated images, but this one struck me, given that I didn't prompt for a BN lookalike or anything of the sort.
