Tears for Fears - The Seeds of Love
Ambition can consume a band, and this sprawling, beautiful pop masterpiece ate Tears for Fears (along with four years, four producers, numerous sidemen [including Phil Collins and Pino Palladino] and a lot of money).
It’d be 15 years before Orzabal and Smith would work together again (on the great Everybody Loves a Happy Ending), so no doubt the process was painful.
But the child it birthed…

Here's a great interview with Steve Albini from 1993:

I get that it's what Federated has been *defined* to mean. I'm saying it's not what a normal person would think it was doing...that's all.

So it's really "local +”, basically. It's not really "federated", because it's not a stream of the toots from the servers you federate with...only those followed by users.
Of course! ;-)

It's more that I probably still don't understand the "Federated" timeline (which is what I meant by the 'stream’).
And people wonder why Mastodon can be confusing... :-)

I don't really understand why…maybe you can't "block" just the stream and allow users to follow individuals (which is all I would want to do).

I'm quite aware that I can switch servers, but this one has been good, I’ve supported them, and hope they'll reconsider this particular position.

Which, truly, I'd love to be able to do.
Unfortunately, [@trumpet](https://mas.to/@trumpet) has elected to not federate with threads at all...even if I want to follow one account from there.
It's regrettable.

Alison's Halo - Eyedazzler (1992-1996)
Dubbed "Beautiful Noise” music (aw, c'mon folks, it's mostly shoegaze), these folks didn't last long, despite clear talent.
This collects basically all their output on two LPs. Lots of good stuff beyond the one track that was on Still in a Dream.
(Allmusic compares the vocalist Catherine Cooper to Liz Fraser, and I think they couldn't be more wrong…)
