I gave the cover a good spray polish clean-up and swapped-out the AT12 cart it came with for the AT440/OCC (off my SL-Q2) you see here...

I liked the Q2 but the darn dust cover kept falling down, so this is a nice upgrade...and not just for the cover...

Those two Faces albums (and his first three solo vinyls) are STILL some of my fave Brit rock platters of all time.

I love this song. Always makes me feel feels. The best version is the rip straight from the episode. The choreography is so good too :3 The translation of the lyrics makes me feels.
Advice: watch on the youtube page so you can actually read the lyrics/translation


The shining stars in the night sky
Are millions of light years away
Even if deep despair
Gives rise to infinite blackness
The truth will live on
Entrusted to the river of time
That light's message
Who will receive it?

People are born
And people die
Our bodies perish
From the ashes
What is reborn
Is passion
For the next generation

Dreams are reincarnation
Over and over
Like déjà vu, a distant memory
Just like reincarnation
Now I'm again
Unconciously
Running off to somewhere
After how many tears will I give up?
After how many lives will my wish be granted?

Inside that endless circle
Is the road our predecessors walked
Somewhere in the vast universe
A path is left behind
If I close my eyes and try to remember
I can see nostalgic scenery
The sky that the me who is not me
Gazed up at in the end

People love
People are loved
I'll look for the lost feelings
Once more
With these hands
I want to take them back from the depths of the mud

Love is reincarnation
Someday
I will feel pain for the days I've forgotten
Surely it's reincarnation
The things that have come back to me
Are things I should be experiencing for the first time
Yet I know them all
After how many goodbyes will I turn my back?
After how many meetings will we come together?

It's my generation
Dreams are reincarnation
Over and over
Like déjà vu, a distant memory
Just like reincarnation
Now I'm again
Unconciously
Running off to somewhere
After how many tears will I give up?
After how many lives will my wish be granted?

I always thought rock would be the dominate genre, but it seems like no one is interested in good rock music any more.

I feel like such an old man complaining about the music today!

Howard Stern will run down the top 5 and they are all pop, and if I am lucky I recognize one song.

I sure don't get the J-Pop stuff. Guess it's like anime!

You should watch that last one I posted. The anime itself is amazing, but the song is epic. It's actually a song from a real Japanese Idol group, AKB48, but they did a special version for the anime, with the voice actresses for the main characters. It's so good. The lyrics are good too

Watch it in fullscreen though. The animation and CG for the OP is really good.


VVV Premise of the show
At the start of the 21st century, an interplanetary war broke out. Earth's ecosystem was severely damaged, and humanity was forced to flee the planet. In several planets of this new society, things that "disturb the heart" like music and art are forbidden. 48 years later, the legendary idol group AKB48 is resurrected as the interplanetary troupe AKB0048, made up of girls who carry on the title and spirit of the original members. Held as heroines by some and labeled as terrorists by others, they must take up arms to bring their music to their fans wherever they are. The story follows a group of young hopefuls as they train to become the next generation of AKB0048.
 
From an aging duffer that listens to Barry Manilow, John Denver, and the Carpenters....I found this tune from the excellent movie Silver Linings Playbook having a catchy beat: Warning, it has some profanity, but it's quite hard to pick it out.

And in the theme of Nick posting his Japanese translations I'll post a translation of the German lyrics in English from herzeleid.com:

A girl saw a little rose
It bloomed there in bright heights
She asked her sweetheart
if he could fetch it for her

She wants it and that's fine
So it was and so it will always be
She wants it and that's the custom
Whatever she wants she gets

Deep wells must be dug
if you want clear water
Rose-red, oh Rose-red
Deep waters don't run still

The boy climbs the mountain in torment
He doesn't really care about the view
Only the little rose is on his mind
He brings it to his sweetheart

She wants it and that's fine
So it was and so it will always be
She wants it and that's the custom
Whatever she wants she gets

Deep wells must be dug
if you want clear water
Rose-red, oh Rose-red
Deep waters don't run still

At his boots, a stone breaks
Doesn't want to be on the cliff anymore
And a scream lets everyone know
Both are falling to the ground

She wants it and that's fine
So it was and so it will always be
She wants it and that's the custom
Whatever she wants she gets

Deep wells must be dug
if you want clear water
Rose-red, oh Rose-red

Deep waters don't run still

[1] This song is inspired by and to some extent based upon the poem "Heidenröslein" by Goethe and the story "Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot" from the Brothers Grimm.
