Goodbye Mark Hollis.
It was issue #146 of MOJO magazine in January 2006. David Gray named Spirit of Eden as his "Last Night a Record Changed My Life." And to David, I am eternally grateful.
I had never heard it before, and it went on to become my favorite album of all-time and is perhaps one of the most beautiful recordings ever made. It was Talk Talk's fourth album, just six songs, released in September 1988.
Rest easy (1955-2019).

Friday's Find.
The latest episode of Live From Daryl's House featuring Joe Walsh. The perfect choice for LFDH's 60th episode, Walsh had this to say of the state of today's pop music:
"It's all been programmed, there's no MOJO, there's nobody testifying, and there's not the magic of a human performance, which is never perfect and the magic of the human performance is what we all know and love in the old records..."

Friday's Find.
From the Best of Craigslist comes this, a Morrissey shrine:
My unemployment benefits ran out and I have to downsize, so I won't be able to take the shrine with me. No more reeling around the fountain, indeed. Comes from a home where smoking was previously allowed and 2 cats lived but they both died this summer. And I might as well tell you that I had to exchange all the stuff my ex-fiancee and I had at each other's places this morning, since he ended our relationship just as things were looking most grim for me, so I might be sobbing when you come by.

Shabooh Shoobah Is 30 Years Old.
From michaelhutchence.com: Where does the phrase "Shabooh Shoobah" come from? It came about in the early stages of recording the track "Spy of Love" which was written by Michael Hutchence & Tim Farriss. Tim began singing the phrase as a rhythmic chant as the band played. Even once Michael had written lyrics, the phrase stuck in the bands minds and it became the album title.
