A smattering of single covers from "Planet O" by Daisy Daze And The Bumble Bees, one of their two songs (the other is a disco cover of "Happy Birthday to You", because where else can you go after writing a Hi NRG pounder about being abducted and enslaved by space pirates).

A Mission Into Drums, the 1994 compilation from Germany's Recycle or Die, the more ambient leaning sublabel of Eye Q Records, in contrast with the more trance-y Harthouse (though ironically enough, this compilation is a continuous set of trance remixes of previously-released tracks). As the label would describe itself in a separate, posthumous compilation:

RECYCLE OR DIE: electronic mind music. This is NOT New Age or New Instrumental Music! ROD sees itself carrying on the pioneer spirit of the German Avant-Garde and as the motor of an experimental confrontation with forms of sound, harmonies, and modern technology. Nonetheless, the musicians can clearly be identified as such. The covers of ROD products are designed by well-known contemporary artists and testify to the long-standing connections between the arts.

According to the Discogs page, "the booklet contains a 3-D image and instructions on how to view it."

Selected pages from Zen and the Art of the Machintosh (1986), Michael Green's wonderful rumination on Mac Paint, digital design, and technology writ large. Even just skimming through it you're immediately ricocheting between passages that, to a contemporary reader, appear quaint, prescient, profound, or all three.

Full book available via Internet Archive here.

First thought after waking up feels like one of those sponsored posts that makes you wonder “who would put money down to make sure I saw that”

Cover art for Dr. Siegel's Fried Egg Shooting Machine (1972) by Flied Egg, a Japanese prog rock band featuring *checks notes* Masayoshi Takanaka??

This Masayoshi Takanaka?

Wait...Masayoshi Takanaka did an album with Little Richard???

Not just that - it's Little Richard's Last album?

AND IT'S ASS?!?!

"Killing Myself", the first of only two 1986 12" singles from italo disco act Spooky Voice.

I struggle to imagine the success of a "radio version", but the confidence is so inspiring it's bringing me to tears
