Oh no, did he backdown after the "hostile political act" bullshit? I'm no fan of Bezos and have been avoiding Amazon but I hoped that little gesture at transparency might remain.

But gah, sorry, mixed it up. I saw Hermanos Gutiérrez supporting Khruangbin 🤦♀️
Oh yes
Beautiful. I saw them recently in Australia.
And always glad to be here!
I wasn't aware of that back story either 😔

Day 4
Just realised I've been using the wrong hashtag 🤦♀️ Anyway, Tainted Love was a dance/party staple of mine all through my 20s. I didn't learn it was a cover of Gloria Jones until years later.

Same. It's wonderful. First heard it on Buffy, all those years ago!

Finally, at number 1: The Great Gig in the Sky
This is a top 5 songs of my life & on my funeral playlist. Unbelievably glorious & ragingly heartbreaking at the same time.

Day 18
Coming in at number 2 from Meddle:
A Pillow of Winds
Romantic but with darkness at the edge, optimistic but melancholic, lovely but haunting...this song has been arousing complex emotions for me for ~30 years now.

Snap on 5 😀
