I would also accept a literal fade out where the entire platform slowly becomes quieter over months and years until completely silent. The final wave of desertion begins when all users are on maximum volume and are rendered powerless against the fade.

Teenaged me bought Acid Eaters in the pre-internet age. Loved it. Remember being intrigued at the time by the mysterious songwriter credits: B Wilson, A Lee, J Fogerty: who were they?!

It was fun when they hired a sitar for a year, called themselves Kulashaker and hit the charts with a slightly different version of the song. We all enjoyed that.

Watched it twice when it was on Mubi in the past year. It's currently on BFI Player for UK-based folk. player.bfi.org.uk/subscription...

This shows the folly of putting a dept with zero interest in /remit for keeping the tunnel open in charge of it. Transfer it to an org that actually cares about active travel - they'll get a proper price to make good and will secure the funds.

Depends on "good" and "relevant" but here goes: Angelo Badalamenti? Ennio Morricone? Barbara Streisand?

Pet Sounds Sessions revelatory but all old. OCA is a classic, Imagination OK, the others presentations of oldies.

Cartaeology!

Totally agree with all of that. The same advice also applies to Van Dyke Parks's early 80s album Jump! that's based on the Uncle Remus stories and made shortly after VDP's playing (and arranging?) on the Popeye Soundtrack.

The impressive Norman doorway was described by Pevsner as "sumptuous and barbaric". A delightful sight!
