Heard @WFMU spinning a bunch of #DonnieIris tunes so I searched and unfortunately the dude passed last Thursday. I saw him when he opened for #TheRomantics circa 1980, got his debut album the next day and found it full of clever, well-crafted pop-rockers with a hint of #NewWave and a helluva […]

#Bongos! Fave of my high-school years, purveyors of some of the finest should-have-been-hit-singles ever crafted. I thought I had their complete collection but I completely missed this release. Will be tuning in! 🎵 🎶 :bongoCat: 👍 😁 #Music #PowerPop #ClassicRock #IndieRoc#IndiePop

This afternoon on #WFMU: 💥 Richard Barone and James Mastro on The Evan "Funk" Davies Show (@efd) In 1983, Bongos bandmates Richard Barone and James Mastro headed down to North Carolina to record a duo album, 'Nuts & Bolts,' at Mitch Easter's Drive-In Studio. The pair split singing and songwriting duties on the LP, with Easter serving as a co-producer and additional performer for the sessions. Mastro and Barone will play some songs from the album and talk about its recording and recent re-release (via Iconoclassic) with bonus material. (3pm EST) See more upcoming special shows and live music on WFMU at https://wfmu.org/upcoming

I still have the encyclopedias I grew up with, Collier's 1967. They got a LOT of use, by me and my three siblings and especially my mother who never lost her appetite for knowledge. Six decades later they're in surprisingly good shape, almost like new. Wisdom, if it is so, deserves a good binding.

I have a potentially strange question... Does anyone have a recommendation if I would want to buy a printed encyclopedia that dates from before the advent of LLMs that is both aesthetically pleasing on the shelf but also still recent enough that it doesn't contain too much outdated knowledge?
