Listening to A Gift From A Flower to A Garden a fair bit at the moment - particularly the second half, which is goddamn lovely, especially Epistle to Derroll and The Mandolin Man.

xp Tower, animated documentary from last year?

Tower, yes--thanks a lot.

A Gift is really great but Mellow Yellow is still my favorite. esp "Writer in the Sun" and "Young Girl Blues" (and the title track ofc).

I had no idea Donovan jumped on the disco bandwagon three years too late. Sadly most of it sounds like bad Bryan Ferry or his usual folky stuff, but this track is kind of a winner:

i've been obsessed w this dude lately. so much of his stuff i had just never heard, but that's been rectified thanks to spotify. well, the 60s stuff anyway. it doesn't appear that any of his 70s records are on there at all, jumping from '70s Open Road (p dope) to '80's Neutronica (which is...something). anything of interest in those intervening years?

Donovan by Bobbie Gentry. Odd song to choose and it doesn't really work but interesting nonetheless.

I mangle Bret Easton Ellis's name once or twice, and there was something else I egregiously messed up.

(Donovan's music in To Die For, L.I.E., The Rules of Attraction, and a few other films.)
