Oh and it is also the 33rd anniversary of The Cure's 1980 sophomore album "Seventeen Seconds". Haven't heard it. But early cure is usually pretty cool.

Yeah, it's a good date.
I really like Doolittle and figure 8. I needs to delve into that Tricky album next. Perhaps today for its anniversary I shall.

Doolittle is pretty good. Need to listen to that tricky album, but Figure 8 is my favorite album by Elliott. L.A is my favorite song by him. Nice day.
