Doohickie

I know some of the songs were part of Lifehouse but never really looked into it much. Now that I see that most of Who's Next was part of the Lifehouse project, I'll listen a little more closely. With the outline at the link you posted I can see how they tie together, but also see how removing the "connecting tissue" of the original concept would put each song on its own island.

Now there's a story arc with a happy ending.

Depends. Who's coming back in the trade?

Ah, too bad. The actual songs on that side are Born to Run (which I described as Infatuation) She's the One (which I described as Under Her Charms) Meeting Across the River (Desperation) Jungleland (Betrayal) Born to Run and Jungleland were huge hits for Springsteen. The songs in between, not so much. But when I listen to the album, those songs are real highlights for me. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but I see a story arc there: Boy meets and woos girl, Girl sinks her claws into him, Boy starts doing crazy illegal stuff to make girl happy, Boy dies in the end.

He's saying compare "THIS" to "THAT", not compare "THIS" to "THIS + THAT"

Depends on the album. To me, Who's Next is just a collection of singles, but Quadrophenia is an extended (double album) single work. There's a whole spectrum in between. Why I occasionally buy "greatest hits" compilations, I prefer to figure out which studio album I would most enjoy and get that instead. Another benefit of listening to whole albums is that sometimes a song doesn't immediately appeal to me but with repeated listens of the album I will decide that a song is pretty good after all.

Kind of reminds me No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom: I was introduced to it through Don't Speak, but again, that's not typical of the rest of the album, but it led me to the album which I really, really, like.

That's a good one. I have it on CD. And really, Santeria isn't exactly typical of that album. It's a little easier to listen to (why it's a popular single) but there's stuff that's equally good, just not as poppy/melodic.

Understand. I kind of think most people don't.

This is where I'm at. I wouldn't depend on him turning the club around.

Suggestion: Listen to Side 2 of Born to Run, from the standpoint that it's a four-act opera. Act One: Infatuation Act Two: Under Her Charms Act Three: Desperation Act Four: Betrayal

From what I can tell, it seems most people who stream tend to stream random songs, not necessarily full albums.

Random observation: I recently picked up the Genesis album A Trick of the Tail on CD, and I have to say rolling from the light and airy Engtangled into the heavy bass synth at the start of Squonk was an excellent choice. (For those who stream and don't listen to whole albums, this is what you miss out on.)

The problem is Kevyn likes to think he can hit home run on goalie prospects, and settles for old goalies as backups (who are better than the starters). He needs to totally walk away from any moves regarding goalies and let someone who knows what he's doing handle any goalie related moves.

Yep. I'd prefer them to be the Texas Rangers: Year Win % 2017 .481 2018 .414 2019 .481 2020 .367 2021 .370 2022 .420 2023 .556 Worlds Series Champions 2024 .481

I don't have a problem with 65-point Tuch. .8 PPG from a middle six player? Yes please.

Definitely gave him an opportunity and he's quickly growing into it. I really think when the Sabres are competitive again, he might not be a "core piece" as such but will be a significant contributor. If his snipe continues to improve he might actually be.... good?

The glue horse from White Horse.

and his hair was perfect.

Good to see Krebs starting to score.

Whole lot of watching by the visiting team there.
