@nessisonett Listening to Standing at the Sky's Edge now. Captivating thus far. When you say it's what easy listening music should actually be like, though, isn't it a bit too rocky for that?
@TheBrandedSwordsman That album specifically is quite rocky yeah but albums like Coles Corner, Lady’s Bridge and his self-titled album are more what I was referring to.
@TheBrandedSwordsman Yeah, the recording of Goodbye Porkpie Hat on that album is really good. Honestly though, I’m not a massive fan of jazz guitar, I prefer horns and piano!
@TheBrandedSwordsman My guitar skills amount to messing around and I can play a few songs. I’m not exactly very good at it although I’ve played on and off for years.

@zupertramp In the guy’s defence, the Blind Faith album with the topless prepubescent girl is often not shown at all, even redesigned at times. So it’s really the same concept. It’s probably not a nice feeling being that guy and seeing your ding dong be part of culture, let’s be real.
Also, the lawsuit says that his parents didn’t actually sign a release on the photo. So it’s a whole lot more than that rubbish headline. That’s the bit I’d assume would be argued in court a lot more than the ‘naked baby chasing dollar bill makes it look like a sex worker’ part.
@nessisonett Baby pictures are just a whole different territory imo. I'm sure there's someone out there, somewhere, who gets off on that but frankly it's so far removed from any notions of human sexual anatomy that it's almost universally benign.
As regards the release forms, it having been this long, that sounds like more of a legal technicality to bolster to your (their) argument. Like nobody has stressed it for 20+ years and suddenly it's important they never signed. Suspect.
Edit: changed loophole to technicality because it's a better word for what I meant.

@nessisonett on another note entirely... when I first read Blind Faith and topless girl I got it confused with Blind Melon's debut with the girl in the bee costume and I was like "Whoa what?! That girl is topless?" I was proper confused for a moment lol.

@TheBrandedSwordsman Oh yeah, Nubya Garcia is a big talent at the moment. I saw she had her own thing at the Proms but I haven’t seen it yet. Apparently it was fantastic though!
Been down a rabbit hole for the last couple of days listening to a lot of New Romantic stuff from the late '70s and early '80s. Might never stop. This is my life now.
