The Mystery Lights- Purgatory (2024)- **1/2
Prince- Dream In Electric Blue: AI Curated Single LP In The Style Of "Parade," 2001-2016- **1/2
(So much for AI.)
The Youngbloods- Elephant Mountain (1969)- ***1/2
Bob Dylan- Street Legal (1978)- ***
XTC- Wasp Star (Apple Venus Volume 2)- ****
Mansion Harlots- All Around A Fairground (2019)- ****
(One amazing record and nothing since. This album is a hook fest!)
Burning Spear- Studio One Presents...(1972)- ***1/2
Nine Inch Nails- TRON:Ares (2025)- ***1/2
Thin Lizzy- Thunder & Lightning (1983)-****
(Lizzy fans love this record. I never did. I like it, but I don't love this band trying to be heavy metal. That said, I think I enjoyed this today more than I ever did. This live version is legendary for a number of reasons. It's Phil breaking down in front of our eyes.)
Blue Oyster Cult- Mirrors (1979)- ****
(This record is a pop gem, which is why most BOC fans don't like it. Great melodies, harmonies, arrangements and amazing guitar work by Buck Dharma. Plus, The Cars parody is genius.)

Concur with your assessment of AI; you should’ve heard what it came up with for a similar request re: SOTT. You’re better off having not. Lol!
Anonymous’ Prince mix is a lot of fun!

Looking forward to the NIN album today. Thanks for the heads up and all you do. Have a wonderful weekend. :)
Couldn’t find The Paragon & Friends via streaming, so tried John Holt Like A Bolt yesterday. It had a good vibe.
Wednesday night I played Van Morrison Into The Music and liked it so much it got another spin yesterday.

I really enjoyed the new NIN album but, it does have a ‘Personal Edit’ version in its future. That a NIN sample is the basis of one of the biggest singles in history is probably only news to me (‘Old Town Road’ samples ‘34 Ghosts IV’). Thanks for the BÖC callback, sir (and the initial introduction to Mirrors years ago). Hope you are able to enjoy the weekend. Thanks for all you do. :)
When you make your NIN "personal edit," please send it to me.

I like it - flows well for me. Sounds better with Automix. Please feel free to let me know what you think - any changes. I’m always curious. Hope you enjoy :)
