It can, actually.

You'd be surprised. In Europe, there's a lot more coverage of these bands' new music in magazines and such. America is the culture most obsessed with relegation legacy acts to the bargain bin.

All snark and 'woe unto the record industry' aside, Toto IV is a legitimately great album. Consummate warm-hearted smooth & catchy yacht rock, perfect for relaxed Saturday evenings

I assume you're including 'Song For America' as one of those? Because that's a ripper.

Man that was such a great show. It had everything Gilmore Girls had, but with no Jesse, and musical numbers.
And the lack of a DVD release makes the pain of its death worse.

They've almost eliminated it in Australia too, but Canberra is the last hold-out.

I'm in Australia, so it's years 11 and 12, which I think is the same as the U.S. senior high years. Sorry I can't be of more help!

Sociology and psychology.

My more politically aware students seem to pay attention to Vice more than any other news outlets. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

Anyone who owns a hologram Rush vinyl is automatically King of the Nerds.
I want one.

Pump is a genuine classic, no 'guilt' about it. The album cuts like 'F.I.N.E.' and 'Monkey On My Back' are even better than the hits, and the production has that booming 80s sound without sounding pieced-together like Permanent Vacation was.

So you hate all soul singers then?

"he did with the “Land Of Chocolate” sequence from “Burns Verkaufen Der Kraftwerk.”"

An actual genuine suggestion: Madonna.
After listening to the acoustic/electro tracks on American Life (which I quite like) like 'Love Profusion', I've wondered what it would be like for a well-known electronic pop performer to try to sing full-on acoustic rock for a change.

That album was when I decided to actually start paying attention to Madonna as an artist. At that point was better known, to me, for stunts like the conical bra and the Sex book, and weak singles like 'Take A Bow'.

That's a nice selection of songs, but it feels incomplete without 'Drowned World/Substitute For Love' and/or 'Frozen'.

With Doctor Who, fans get het up about more specific complaints than just 'it's different'. I haven't been able to read commentary or talk about Doctor Who with any fan without the conversation turning onto how sexist Stephen Moffat is. Seriously, that's all some core fans talk about. From their attitude, you'd think…

I think High Flying Birds rewards more with more listens. It's just not as immediate as Oasis albums. The closer, 'Stop The Clocks', could have been a monster if it had a punchier, 'Champage Supernova'-style climax.

Ah boo. That's the conventional 'wisdom' and it's wrong.

It's worth it. More like Don't Believe The Truth than an attempt at reviving old-school Oasis. The vibe is mellower, looser, but with strong melodies.
