Some solid tunes amidst the abhorrent soft rock. Boney M was in here two or three times and I swear I’ve never heard of them.

In his recent biograpy, Living on a Thin Line, Dave Davies reports that aliens re-routed his sexual energy:
The 75-year-old rock star believes his mind was overtaken by aliens in 1982, when on tour in the US, and Dave claims they “blocked any sensation down there.”
He explained: “They told me I must not have sex and, although I was able to walk normally, my groin and pelvis suddenly became numbed, like they’d blocked any sensation down there.
“The reason being, they told me, was they wanted to transmute my sexual energy to a higher vibrational level.”
Dave was preparing to play a gig in Virginia when “things got weird very quickly.”
The guitarist recalled feeling “oddly disembodied.”
“I couldn’t understand why I was feeling so peculiar. I didn’t feel physically ill. This was different.
Dave also remembers hearing voices in his own head.He said: “It was like my brain had flicked on a new psychic switch. After the initial jolt, I didn’t feel panicked or alarmed.
“These voices had a commanding presence, but were also non-threatening, calming even. My senses were overwhelmed.
“Where were these voices coming from? Were they floating close by? Or an alien force from many thousand miles away? I began to feel their presence.
“I could already hear them. Then I felt them physically and my nostrils were filled with different smells – again nothing unpleasant or sinister.
“In fact, the smells – of fresh flowers like jasmine and magnolia – had a fragrance so full I felt like I could have scooped them up with a spoon.”
Dave was with his lover Nancy Evans at the time, and he remembers being controlled by the “intelligences.”
He explained: “I’d entered into a telepathic exchange with mysterious beings. The intelligences, though, would only let me tell her what they wanted her to know.”
I’m going to need our resident Kinksologist to break this down,
but in the meantime enjoy some Kinks:
So great. He thought it sucked but the producer told him to leave it in.
I like BOTH versions of this tune. Apparently they’re from Memphis.
Needed some Old 97’s today.

A Google engineer got fired after making the case that his chatbot had become self-aware. The bot talked about what made it sad and depressed, and about its rights, which may have convinced the engineer that the bot had feelings. Most tech experts who have evaluated the situation are not convinced.
There is no agreed-upon Turing Test for artificial or alien intelligence, so that complicates the matter. A transcript of the conversation is here.
“[REDACTED] insisted that the toaster oven in our rehearsal space was sentient, but he probably inhaled a lot of canned air duster at the mixing board.”
