#well what else would you expect me to vote for #rb

i know i've said in the past that airwaves is thomas dolby's best song but i think the flat earth has a shot. like a) i love the Vibe. he's very good at creating an atmosphere in a song (see also budapest by blimp, i love you goodbye, urban tribal, screen kiss, oceanea). b) the lyrics. my god the lyrics. the message that the world is what we choose to make it, dark and cold or bright and warm. like. yeah. genuinely hopeful. i love it so much

#will i ever shitpost about a different td song. sources say unlikely #thomas dolby #aliens ate my buick

and THEN...... and then i saw her she was a.. Bright Red '64 GTO, with fins and gills (like some giant piranha fish) some obscene phallic symbol on wheels...... little rivers of anticipation ran down my inseam as i kicked those.. five hundred Italian Horses into life.. and left reality behind me... FIFty, SIXty, SEVENty miles an hour, OH!! my hand slipped inside the belt of my trousers as we pasSED EIGHTY, NINETY MILES AN HOUR..... AND AS WE HIT THE MAGIC ONE HUNDRED, i, yes, my love EXPLODED ALL OVER HER BRIGHT PINK LEATHER INTERIOR! AND AT THAT MOMENT-- i thought of my mother...

#mr dolby you have such a way with words #thomas dolby #aliens ate my buick

purchased at a severe discount on account of the missing jewel case, the collector's edition of the golden age of wireless from 2009! i'm actually really excited to pop in the video and watch it in full, even though i'm pretty sure most of it is on youtube on mr dolby's channel.

this version does not include the lyrics book. instead, it has liner notes about every song which are a real treat to read. i've also learned a lot about what used to apparently be on thomas dolby's website. his blog doesn't seem to be currently live, but rest assured i will do some internet archive sleuthing in the coming days.

(an important aside - his son harper transitioned following the release of this album and writing of these blurbs, so the misgendering present here is not intentional)

#thomas dolby #the golden age of wireless

my 2009 deluxe remaster of the golden age of wireless + live wireless dvd has arrived.. stay tuned for more folks
