Eddie Robson

I'm vaguely intending to watch it at some point, I just wasn't massively excited by the prospect of it and Welsh has put me off his work by being such a bellend. I'm 47, there's more good stuff out there than I have time to watch, I no longer worry about "missing out".

True. I was recently looking at the Beatles' album chart performance in the decade so far, and 1 was a fixture of the chart until the Red and Blue remixes came out. But 1 used to hover in the 20-50 zone, whereas Blue is 40-70. Maybe because having two comps splits the listening?

"Only God Knows" by Young Fathers (2017)

Providing "another Born Slippy" for T2 was a tall order, but I think the lads did a very good job of it. (I have not seen T2, but this is great.)

I do wonder to what extent they're necessary now, unless you want to flog them on vinyl (which AC/DC certainly could). Every major artist has a "best of" playlist on streaming, which can be updated if a song gains in popularity.

I enjoyed this one, nicely anarchic: Ned owns a penny that has been left a million pounds in his grandmother's will. In "casting" Minnie as the grandmother it shuffles the usual character relationships, which had become set in stone a bit over the last couple of series. #GoonForARun

UPDATE: dude you would not believe the stories I’m hearing about this woman from like 8 other people since I put this post up.

BBC Radio 4 Extra - The Goon Show, Series 9, The Million Pound Penny The Sockjelly Murder and the story of Ned The Miser!

Goon Show 9.3: The Million Pound Penny. Again, we're back to the early format: the episode starts with a plot that gets wrapped up during Geldray's spot, so they start another story instead, in which famed miser Seagoon is targeted by Grytpype and Moriarty. #GoonForARun www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...

Yep, I asked for help with anxiety and got sent on a patronising CBT course that seemed designed for people who had never experienced self awareness. When I told the people running it that it wasn't helping, they just seemed offended rather than helping me find something that did.

When I looked it up I strongly suspected her top track might be Vogue.

I hadn't thought of it like that, but yeah, UK pop is just so lively and varied, who needs grandstanding rock anthems at that point?

The Sopranos was first, but as someone who wasn't watching The Sopranos at the time, I had no idea it had been used in that until years later. It was after Glee that it became a thing with kids, got covered on X Factor etc., and was suddenly treated as a beloved classic.

Yeah. I don't remember being particularly aware of the song at all before Glee and then suddenly it was everywhere. It just wasn't a song you ever heard in the UK.

Yeah, it's very rock-heavy and very male. By my count, nine of the fifty tracks feature a woman in the named artist: Cyndi Lauper x2, Tracy Chapman, Kate Bush, Eurythmics, Pixies, Whitney Houston, Fleetwood Mac and Bonnie Tyler. None in the top ten.

I wondered that, but just checked and three of her top five on Tidal are 80s hits. Vogue isn't even top 10, which surprised me.

You're probably right, but even so I'd expect one or two big hitters to sneak in, if only in the lower reaches. It seems mad to me that, say, Down Under is more popular than Like A Prayer.

That's what I meant - I'm not sure it's been attempted in 4K, where the upscale from SD becomes more challenging of course.

It's definitely the best option. I'd assumed they'd use whole upscaled shots (and in some cases they'll presumably have to) but this is better.

I don't know if a remaster like that has ever been done before: it's a lot of work, and specifically affects things shot on film but edited on SD videotape, and not many things like that get a 4K remaster. But I suspect the shift between upscaled and true 4K frames would be noticeable otherwise.

Interesting bit in the DWM news pages about the 4K edition of the TV Movie: the effects have been upscaled from a standard def source, because that's all there is, but the effects have been isolated and blended into the new HD master, rather than using whole upscaled frames.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

"low-traffic area" is a masterful phrase.

Fucking hell that Newcastle winner was incredible. #motd

Omfg if you would have told me when I was younger I would spend half my life looking for the perfect emoji or meme I would have started drugs sooner

some shelley duval studies!

Went straight to eBay to see if I could buy one of these and ooof, they are vintage and EXPENSIVE. Someone should put this back into production.
