Picked up a cheap compilation - seems like it was curated by #BPHM8285!

(Except that it correctly places Whistle in 1986 😉)
The sleeve of Rap It Up - Rap’s Greatest Hits. Featuring The Message, Planet Rock, Magic’s Wand, Rapper’s Delight, Just Buggin’, White Lines, Rock Box and The Breaks, among others.

My #5debutalbums8084 will come from these 10 I'm sure
Album sleeves of my 10 favourite debut albums released 1980-84: The Psychedelic Furs s/t, Young Marble Giants - Colossal Youth, New Order - Movement, ABC - The Lexicon of Love, The Necessaries - Event Horizon (controversial whether it's their debut, but I'd argue Big Sky isn't canon), Haircut 100 - Pelican West, A Flock of Seagulls s/t, Orange Juice - You Can't Hide Your Love Forever, R.E.M. - Murmur, Madonna s/t.

Yes, I wouldn't mind owning an original copy of the LP

Oh, you may be right. Though neither was a hit as such:
Kitchens of Distinctions on the UK charts showing they had two 'hits' in total, "Drive That Fast" from 1991, and "Now It's Time To Say Goodbye" from 1994 - nothing from Love Is Hell (1989).

This week, Willem has been watching the classics.
A 4-month old orange kitten - is it still a kitten? He’s grown so much! - lying on the armrest of a grey sofa, watching television. The Graduate is on BBC4. The telly hangs on a burgundy wall. It’s all very colourful.

This week, Willem’s been growing up too fast

My #ALL50RTS list broken down by demi-decade (bonuses in darker green). The expected shape, but with an interesting dip!
My 50 picks for #ALL50RTS by half-decade: going up from one each from the 60s and early 70s to five/six from each half of the 80s to nine and seven from the first halves of the 90s and 00s each. Bizarre dip of only two picks from the late 90s. The bonuses are from the early 80s (2), late 80s (1), late 00s (1) and early 10s (1).

Yes yes, in my time every Dutch kid had mizu bōsō.
Google’s stupid AI summary going “In Dutch, chickenpox is called "水ぼうそう" (pronounced "mizu bōsō"). It's also referred to as "水痘" (pronounced "suidou"). While both terms are used, "水ぼうそう" is more common and widely understood. Additionally, the medical term "水痘" is also used to refer to the disease” bla bla bla…

This week. Willem’s been checking out the record collection.
A cute ginger kitten walking atop an upright stack of vinyl records. He seems to be checking out the Mutant Disco LP.

Yes yes, no Best Album 1989 update from me yet today but this little guy moved in with us earlier this week and, well, I’ve been a little distracted.

Me in 1989, precisely two days after The Stone Roses, Disintegration and This Is the Day...This Is the Hour...This Is This! were released (but still living in a world without Raw Like Sushi and Cosmic Thing in it, which my face shows a little).
Me on the 4th of May, 1989, in Florence, Italy.
