#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

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
