    its 2025, like where the fuck did the time go… jesus i remember “worrying about y2k” and it seemed like a few months ago… as time rolls by, it reminds me of when i used to think my mom was old (when i was younger) and she was only 40yrs old… ugh. i dont mind getting old but man it seems like life is flying by after buying a house and having kids..

    You get to the point of wondering how much material shit you need to have around when you need space back.  Space is way more valuable than t3h Raer.

    I know, right? ...

    Unless you have a RAJ-style music barn.

    Just recently found out that Hans Zimmer was in the first music video ever played on MTV. Dude played keyboard for Video Killed the Radio Star.

    He was also on the early Ultravox stuff iirc.

    Googled it; he wasn't a member but did the synth programming.

    I remember reading this on Blaxploitation.com's LP reviews back in the day.

    Howard Shore started out with Lighthouse's horn section.

    I did not know until fairly recently that Blame It On The Boogie by the Jackson 5 is a cover version of a German record from Paderborn:

    I had not noticed until about few months ago that Boogie Wonderland was not written by EW&F let alone did I know this demo by the original songwriters exists:

    It hadn’t occurred to me until very recently that “It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over by Lenny Kravitz is a rip off of That’s The Way Of The World by EW&F:

    I heard Tommy Turrentine's "Gunga Din" on the radio and just realized that Rico Rodriguez' "Africa", on Blue Note's only reggae LP, uses the melody.
