Great stuff. I never had any hip friends and have only just discovered Beaver & Krause.

After more than an hour of googlie-wooglie I am no closer to identifying that football top Steve Currie is wearing. Superficially looks like AC Milan or MCFC away, but centre badge is confusing me. Or is that a […]

Thanks for a fascinating, in-depth review of someone whose work I’m not really familiar with. I will definitely be investigating further.

I’ve often thought that early Floyd (post-Syd, pre-Meddle) were about as Krautrock as British music ever got.

On the TD v Kraftwerk question I find great joy in both. I feel like TD were the original synth bliss […]

Touch of the California Saga about this thread. Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey. Will the next OS be Morro Bay? Mike Love’s groovy Mac update tips: get yourself in that cool, clear water, or consult your astrologist.

As a kid I associated their name with smoky bacon flavour crisps. But they always had a big smile on their faces whenever they turned up to TOTP, so maybe the name had some wider meaning.

I don’t know. My knowledge in this area is only a molecule thick. But I don’t think the age of the computer is an issue. The lack of an Apple ID might be more problematic.

I am running a late 2012 Mac Mini with OS Catalina (2019), so a solution seems well within the range of the possible.

Brave @Kid-Dynamite! I was hearing early Blackadder in Tibet’s voice which gave unintentional comedy value to the whole thing. The CD (with extensive booklet!) has been isolated on the shelf for years, but now […]

A straight drive, a pitch and a putt will put a warm glow in any golfer’s hole. Lee Trevino in his prime would be envious of such svelte stroke play.

Christ is King! Rejoice!

Thanks @eddie-g

I wouldn’t mind hearing that so will keep an eye (and ear) out. The fact the land has been planted with rows of sitka spruce makes me think it’s now a commercial timber plantation, somewhat muting […]

Uri Geller’s early efforts with a tuning fork.

He’s the one infected, twisted animator. He’s the threadstarter, twisted threadstarter.

Hilarious recall! And the physical resemblance was uncanny. But he was more into Johnny Mathis than Johnny Lennon.

What was that deal on Manfred Mann’s Earth Band’s The Good Earth LP? (*pauses, opens a new tab to consult wiki, returns*) Those who bought the album on release could gain rights to one square foot of earth near […]

Something of the Mary, Mungo & Midge about this one.
