I have the iHeart app but don't listen to it too often. The first 5 that you post about, is that some sort of selection the app does for you based upon your interests?

Yes. You can favorite artists and songs and then play, "your favorites" and it will play randomly for you. It's not perfect as there are limitations to how many artists you can favorite. To minimize repetition then I tried to be as diverse as possible and favorite across several genres and eras that I enjoy.

It's awesome. It was released not too long after Shirley got divorced and you can hear the angst, but also you hear her coming of age by the end of the record.

Told her that I came from Detroit city,
and I played guitar in a long haired rock and roll band
She asked me why the singer's name was Alice,
I said listen baby you really wouldn't understand

:D

Outlandos reissue is out and available now on vinyl. Not sure why they didn’t release them all in one go.

I love synchronicity. It’s A weird hybrid. Not quite The Police but not quite full Sting solo record. I love all the songs you reference.

Also, there’s a great story behind the recording where the band was at an impasse on finishing a song and sent Summers out to knock on George Martin’s door to request help. Martin kindly brushed them off saying “you’ll figure it out”. When Summers got back to the studio the song (I forget which) was finished.

Coolest album art of all time:

Also one of the best titles:

I discovered both the Police and Ryle as a college freshman. Bliss it was in that dawn to be alive. But to be young was very heaven.

Still listening to Garbage, but now I'm on "Beautiful Garbage." Surprised that album didn't sell well.

Agree on the lp art. I’ve considered that as a tattoo now and again.
