I salute the pedantry of the child’s new toy.
The opening of Ulysses comes to mind here.
Well hell, that's quite a list.
Security implications aside. Not sure a pager is a thing to accept as a lovely gift from Mossad...
Someone has hacked my old X account and I cannot sign in on it.
Thanks for your original post, I'd been scouring record racks for an original for some time and had never found one that didn't involve mortgaging a kidney 😳
And thanks to Discogs and Juno records in the UK, there's now one on its way 👍
Didn't even know that rerelease existed! 👀
Yes, but: leave bats alone and never pick one up, even here.
Glorious ☺️
Thread.
Cheers! 👏
Guilty of that myself (see above)
Much as I find Starmer detestable, his standing would rocket if he politely told Trump to sit on this and swivel.
Checks dictionary for meaning of "destroyed 100%“
I try to divorce the terrible behaviour from the music as far as possible. Sometimes I can manage it (John Martyn's behaviour, Evan Parker's attitudes to vaccines) even though it rankles; sometimes it's time to ditch the records and listen to someone else (Clapton). Never liked Morrisey anyway.
Marotta (on drums) and Copeland (hi-hat) - match made in heaven on that track.
Great choice. Some of mine:
Gimme Shelter - the Stones
The Rhythm of the Heat - Peter Gabriel (that Fairlight chord!)
Thème de Yoyo - Art Ensemble of Chicago
We Belong Together - Rickie Lee Jones
Peter Brötzmann's Machine Gun probably doesn't count as a song but might be my favourite opening of all
(our local wine shop has a system where they pump N2 into an open bottle to keep it from oxidising and you can get 25ml tasters using a smart card. At Christmas, they put some crazy bottles on some of the machines: the only time I'd get to try any of the wildly expensive stuff).
Preferably without the spelling mistake.
Hell no, that followed by Battenburg cake
Not going to lie, I'd eat that.
Perhaps a degree of truth in this, but in my very limited experience with really expensive wines (including one from 1945 recently), they more often taste *incredible*.
"Hand baggage or hold, sir?"
Haven't played that one in years, will have to dig it out 👍 Fine album there.
"Test your beaver knowledge" 😲
Strange that the keyboard could still pass as 'futuristic' at least in the context of the other items of equipment in the film, but the headphones look very old-fashioned.
Where's that photo from, Daniel? Can't recall seeing it before.
"Top Trump officials acknowledged to lawmakers during recent classified briefings that they did not plan for the possibility of Iran closing the strait in response to strikes."

Post a great photo of a musician
(cheekily posting my own not-so-great photo here, but I think it captures Eddie's intense listening, concentration and who knows, memories, as he played)
