#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Pete Townshend - White City: A Novel (1985). A concept album about a low-income housing estate in West London and the hard lives people lived there, it also had anti-Apartheid vibes, salient to the times. #music #80s #rock www.youtube.com/watch

If you like #Android and have an #ARM Mac I suppose you’ll be hyped to hear about the new #Apple Silicon compatible versions of #BlueStacks. So now you can play all those games being advertised on TV by movie and TV stars. whee. #videogames #emulation #macOS 9to5mac.com/2025/05/0…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Mr. Mister - Pull Expanded Edition (1989-2010). Recorded in from 1989 to 1990, the band’s fourth album was rejected by RCA and shelved until Richard Page got the rights back. It’s a must-have album. #music #pop #progpop #poprock youtube.com/playlist

After a stint with an #iPhone 14 Plus (big mistake) I’ve gone back to my 12 Mini. Even with its reduced capacity battery I get at least a full day, mostly because I’m not glued to it and turn off everything unnecessary. The same should be the case for a 17 Air. #Apple 9to5mac.com/2025/05/0…

One of the most unique and original #music videos I’ve seen in some time, at least since MUTEMATH’s Blood Pressure. I don’t count Ok Go, as they’re in a different class entirely. Fascinating music, as well. #BenCaplan #rock #pianorock www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Midnight Oil - Red Sails in the Sunset (1984). IIRC the Oils broke into the US radio market with three tracks from this album and would set them up for their next release that would become a blockbuster. Great band! #music #KROQ www.youtube.com/watch

Ok. I didn’t expect this… Some context: I have a group of friends I chat with on #Matrix and I’d shared that I was wanting to replace my #AppleWatch with a #RePebble Core 2 Duo, so one of my pals had #AI generate this song for me. #music #shenanigans #funny suno.com/s/mcvmVRW…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Joe Jackson - Look Sharp! (1979). Several tracks from this #PopRock masterpiece graced the airwaves on release and well into the 80’s. Younger peeps challenge: How many songs do you recognize? #music #80s #KROQ www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The English Beat - Special Beat Service Expanded 2012 Remaster (1982). I don’t recall if it was my first tape, but it’s the first I think of when reminiscing. I’ll never forget Rankin’ Roger and Pato Banton. #music #ska #KROQ youtube.com/playlist
