Another for the "gayest album cover evah" collection:



I just bought this (for the music, mind you). But when I got a load of the pic I LOL'd.  They had 4 or 5 smooth disco hits in the mid-'80s, and I gotta say I always assumed there was a woman in the group. Oops.

Geeta Dayal, a wonderful person I've met a few times through Village Voice-related things, had a marvelous story to share on her blog.  She's one of the most intelligent and thoughtful people I've ever come across - how many people are experts in both neural chemistry and ambient music? - and wrote a book on a Brian Eno album for the "33 1/3" series that I've mentioned in ages past.  Anyway, she didn't talk to Eno himself for the book, but he got a hold of it - and loved it:

Heartwarming and cool and validating.

OMFG!  I could lose way too much time on this.  Would an admin xpost this to the Chart Trivia thread, wherever it may lie?

an '80s icon helps a much older one:
