Simulacreage

Music thoughts of Josh Sand. I obsessively listen to new music and get hives if I don't send it to strangers

Tis the season! 🎅🎄🎶 Find out what albums from this year are “lush”, “evocative”, “varied but cohesive”, “have impressive range”, and “remind me of video games”!

caught a rare audiobook editing mistake (page flip and all)

@ghostly @hosonoharuomi_ I also preordered a CD yesterday and am wondering if I'm still eligible for today's presale. Thank you! 🙏

@funkentechno there was a second before I read the label that I thought you were making an extremely bold claim

[Simulacreage @simulacreage]

back from the dead!!!!!!

@fritolaysia I rarely watch shows week by week, but I was sure this was gonna be one everyone on the timeline was weighing in on and having fun with. Haha

同窓会といえば。
この方がいちばん古い知り合いに違いない。
「今日は大貫妙子の曲を聴こう〜♬」と歌ってくれた矢野顕子さん。
大貫パートでは袖の最前列で大貫妙子の曲を聴いてくれていました。
歌詞に嘘なし。
ありがとうございました😊

Everything I prepped romaji for in advance. I got to... “sing” might not be the right word, but I did perform all of these

[Simulacreage @simulacreage]

dreams come true in New York City, the only city in the whole world this could be possible in

[Simulacreage @simulacreage]

@HoeffnerJoe Very very thankful they got an easy single/rarity collection on their box set. I liked their albums fine at first but hearing Virginia Plain and Pyjamarama is what really set things off for me

[Simulacreage @simulacreage]

what are all your most upsetting songs to find out were rerelease bonus tracks?

Buggles - The Age of Plastic not having Technopop is probably my mountain here. unthinkable

[Simulacreage @simulacreage]

@paledave @mertonesque This has been a big casualty of my album-focused listening, I only went through Bowie's singles recently. Good reminder I need to do this for Costello... I wish more artists did "just the rarities" collections, and didn't bury them in general best-of comps.

[Simulacreage @simulacreage]

@radicalzest I'm not familiar but these are good song titles

[Simulacreage @simulacreage]

@mertonesque (I'd say this for any Skylarking track but) noooo not Mermaid Smiled... Very glad I always had a later CD rip then

[Simulacreage @simulacreage]

@mertonesque Oh wow, I didn't realize that myself. I like that the US release stuck it as the first track. Reminds me of Skylarking not having Dear God but I think less people will complain there.

[Simulacreage @simulacreage]

The Pretty Things' S.F. Sorrow not ending on Walking Through My Dreams is tragic. Half of late 60s UK rock could work here, I never understood the market reasons to not put singles on the album. (The UK LP of Procol Harum’s debut not having Whiter Shade of Pale... c'mon)

[Simulacreage @simulacreage]

I choose to ignore that Mio Fou LP didn’t even have Pierrot le Fou on it (only 33min?)

@fritolaysia the sudden Tim & Eric editing when the judge tries the BBQ pork got me so good. Might be my dark horse fav Stephen Chow

New icon time. (Using an album cover crop/trace on my website these last few years had been killing me)
