Fan of MC Pipokinha; currently thinking about how the Chad Mitchell Trio foreshadow both punk rock and adult contemporary music. The people united will never be defeated.

Record changer. Load 2 records on spindle, side 1 facing up on bottom, side 2 facing up on top. First drops, side 1 plays; when done, second drops on top of it, side 2 plays. You then lift pair *together* and flip them as one, return to spindle; rec drops side 3 up. When done, next drops, side 4 up.

Okay. Won't delay posting since I'm not going to dive the year. Frank Kogan, 1995 Top 14, from vintage ballots, mostly; but I am honor-bound to listen to your choices anyway (a normal part of my dives).

I tried this with financial swaps and it didn't work. Maybe "fucking" works as a prophylactic for musical instruments but not financial instruments.

Favorite songs of 2015 pt 2
Decided to close this off at 30 'cos I don't like my number 30 "Can't Feel My Face" as much as my not-in-my-top-45 "Life During Wartime" for '79. Not that I'm trying to *calibrate* my songlist responses to you, but that felt like a good spot for a cutoff.

These of course are my favorites *now*, not necessarily then.
As I said on another subthread, strong year for dance challenges.
At the time I was disgruntled with and fading away from K-pop, but turns out the K-pop I did like holds up powerfully.

Night Moves and The Conversation. A couple of decent guys, good at what they do, beautiful in their rough, dogged, lonely way, and life doesn't work out.

Took a screenshot of my profile as of yesterday 'cos I now need the words for something else (& tho genuinely proud I saw Sexyy's talent early, I feel that on In Sexyy We Trust every song grabs hard at the start but by a minute-and-a-half it's the same dull grabbing & it wore me out).
