"So many bands I’ve seen over the years clearly have this album in their collection. So many that I’ve seen absolutely practiced these songs or that delivery or looked for that volume... almost a literal feedback loop now, where it seems like when the album ends and you might as well start it again"

Fun exploration by @gedge1.bsky.social of "the catchiest song on Earth" with great multimedia presentation by the @washingtonpost.com — you can isolate the "Take On Me" vocals, keyboards, drums, etc.
‘Take On Me’ has been stuck in our heads for 40 years. Here’s how it got there.

Important news via ILX, to quote the post: "Someone uploaded a straight rip of the _The Cure in Orange_ laserdisc yesterday, if you don't want to truck with weird looking AI upscaled versions." And indeed, who would.

My heart hopes this is true, but my brain knows this is most likely just promotion for their RSD Black Friday release
Is Bob Mould reforming Sugar with original lineup?
