#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

Wow! Just holy freakin’ WOW!! #music #radiohead #creep #covers kottke.org/25/05/is-…

I’m honestly confused by some of the takes from this reviewer of Macs of “15 years” on what a move from #Windows to #macOS would entail, especially the idea that the Dock can’t show all running apps? WTF??!! #Apple #DitchMicrosoft #tech www.engadget.com/computing…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Oingo Boingo - Nothing to Fear (1982). Likely one of the most quintessential 80’s “New Wave” bands of all time that didn’t get global reach beyond a few big hits like Weird Science. Amazing musicians. #music #80s #KROQ www.youtube.com/watch

Well, this is just more stupid #capitalism at work. I guess I’ll have to now unsub from #Polygon’s RSS feeds. Generic corporate villain #Valnet has laid off most of the masthead. So, so stupid. Do the new owners really think people will stick around for AI slop? #videogames kotaku.com/polygon-s…

BWAHAHAHAHA… cough - cough …HAHAHAHA. Oh my, this is so very satisfying news! I cannot tell you how pleased I am to see even the suggestion of this, whether it pans out or not. #ElonMusk #Tesla #FAFO www.reuters.com/business/…

How gross. #Putin and #Russia really stretching to capture more treasure to fund his personal conquest to restore the CCCP. Not ironic at all that his criminality is what made Russia into a now former “Super Power”. #politics #videogames #authoritarianism www.engadget.com/gaming/ru…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simple Minds - Live in the City of Diamonds (2025). Formed in 1977, this Scottish #ArenaRock #ArtRock band has been plowing along for nearly 50 years now, and still sounds fantastic! #music #live #simpleminds www.youtube.com/watch
