Re: Your last listen

Must dig out LLDB today. It' weird, PG's Back to Front, Secret World and Growing Up DVD's have been on rotation here. It started with watching the Secret World show on amazon, which got me wondering how many PG LP's have I missed and where are these wonderful songs. Turned out I'd missed no LP's, ju...

Re: Xmas present to you. AI portraits.

What the hey, do what you will, but it must involve einsturzende neubaten, Gong, Rush and Peter Gabriel... Have fun

Re: Sci-Fidelity

I read somewhere that the script/pitch for Rebel Moon was rejected by Disney - Lucas, given what they've done to that franchise this told me enough, haven't rushed to watch it, will give it a go but I'm not expecting much.

Re: DAC to the Future

Assuming there is an SMSL house sound then I suspect you'll be quite pleased. I have an old (ancient) in DAC terms sanskript which sounds really good for the price I paid then. Ironically the USB input is as flaky as a tory election promise, but Coax continues to sound wonderful. as DAC's go I find ...

Re: Sci-Fidelity

Oh Lower decks and SNW are excellent, I hope they use any spare budget to either carry on with the Empress in Section 31, or give Jack and 7 of 9 a run in a spin off of Picard.

Re: Obits

On a less surprising note Shane MacGowan has gone at 65. Having seen him relatively regularly in a Highgate pub in the 2000's, I'm amazed he's gotten this far. He and M. E. Smith seemed to have an appetite for epic self destruction which is a shame as I miss Smith, and I loved the Pogues. Certainly ...

Re: Sci-Fidelity

Hardly surprised to see that they have canned Discovery, the first two seasons were ok, but the third & fourth were so dire it wasn't true. Even by sci fi standards the plots were dreadful. A ship full of relics from 900 years ago rocks up, and they manage to solve a mystery that has flummoxed t...
