Worth knowing this was a big turn for him: Cabinet of Curiosities (2013) and Hypnophobia (2015) were sung baroque psych-pop records, so Somnium was his first album without vocals. Fading Cosmos followed in 2019 if you want more after this one.

    Damn. End of an era, I guess.

    His antics over the last couple of years have been pretty entertaining after he realised that the Village People were making money off the recent popularity amongst the chuds.

    Y.M.C.A is NOT a gay anthem!!! lol

    Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me Soft Cell - Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go?

    These were some of the first songs I thought of. I was going to include some Frankie Goes To Hollywood, but they might be a bit too suggestive for what you want. I might edit this with some more if I think of something else.

    Edit: You absolutely need something by The B-52s.

    Other way around, Hamelin is playing pieces written by Kapustin.

    There is another recording of Kapustin playing the pieces himself, both recordings are good and both Hamelin and Kapustin are phenomenal pianists!

    Bobby, you may be gone but the Music Never Stopped. Give our regards to Jerry and Phil.

    The Grateful Dead filled many dark hours, days and years for me. Hearing hopeful messages and grooving to amazing jams got me through. Seeing them live was always incredible. We will miss you Bob.

    I've had a weird relationship with Gibby over the last 3 decades. At one point I was interacting with him semi-regularly, as my girlfriend during the early 2000s was best friends with Gibby's girlfriend.

    I could tell a bunch of strange stories, but the one I always remember first is him knocking over a refrigerator and overturning a massive cooler of ice in the green room after a show because there was no beer.

    The ice and water leaked through the floor and dripped from the ceiling below onto the bartenders working in the club underneath the green room.
