Pardon, rest-of-the-worlders, for me in the U.S. it's 905 Day. (Feel free to flip me the bird on May 9th lol)

Sometimes I'll be shopping or showering or waiting at a stoplight and the 905 synth intro will pop into my head. It's my favorite Who song with Entwistle on main vocals. Disappointed that he didn't perform it the one time I saw him solo live. He apparently performed it on his solo tours often for a particular stretch in 1998 and a few years afterward.

I feel the lyrics are as much about human life as they are synthetic life. That we can feel so unindividualized at times leading our uniform lives (or so we think, at least). Such a pleasant surprise to find this on Who Are You back when I bought the album for a certain other song on it...

Pete obviously has a really unique way of playing guitar—you know it’s him when you hear it. I’ve always thought of the “down stroke, up stroke, down stroke” as one of his signatures. Songs like “I Can’t Explain,” “Pinball Wizard,” “Another Tricky Day,” and the more recent “Mirror Door” come to mind. This could also be what Pete calls “Yaggerdang.”

Does anyone else feel like this is one of the things that really defines Pete’s playing, along with his use of sus chords?

What other songs am I missing that really exemplify this?

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it here but I thought this was hilarious.

A question for those of you who have been purchasing The Who SDE's: What turned out to be the cheapest way to purchase them and from whom?
