Knuckledragger Posted December 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2023 Possibly the worst Christmas song ever: A great takedown thereof: I'm with Todd in that I think this is one of the BEST Christmas songs ever (it doesn't embed because of YT BS.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted January 19 Author Report Share Posted January 19 Won't embed because ...of the fricken NFL? Wat. It's a half hour documentary on Tom Petty. Tom is probably the musical artist I've listened to for the longest time. I first heard "You Got Lucky" on the radio in the early 80s and set out figuring out who it was. As most of the fossils of HC will remember, there was no Information Age back then. Also, the grownups I encountered weren't super interested in helping out a child figure out the name of some damn rock n roller. In the early 80s, the only people I knew who had cable TV were my grandparents. This was during the dawn of MTV, which was a new and and magical horizon. I had to sneak in my viewings, and I was lucky enough to see the video for You Got Lucky. I was too young to understand the Mad Max reference. I just knew I liked the song and Tom knocked over an arcade machine. Some time after that I got my first cassette player, and I bought Long After Dark and Damn the Torpedoes ("Refugee" was another favorite of mine.) As my musical tastes evolved and changed from metal to extreme metal to techno to downtempo to ambient, I have always revisited Tom's music and loved it. Catch me on the right day and I'll proclaim that "Last Dance With Mary Jane" is my favorite pop song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 My algorithms cause a lot of cat things to cross my FB feed. Rescues, funny pics/vids, and comics. This is one I hadn't seen before and like it a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahame Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Presenting your children's dystopian AI future. It's like no one involved in the product read "I Always Do What Teddy Says" by Harry Harrison, written in 1965. If you haven't either, someone copied the text of the short story here (show full description for text, on mobile) https://www.deviantart.com/aegiandyad/art/I-Always-Do-What-Teddy-Says-259013944 Academic reference: https://openpublishing.psu.edu/utopia/content/i-always-do-what-teddy-says 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, he's the one who openly leaked the quadraphonic mixes of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon because the person who did the surround mix didn't do it quite right.
