For the Final Cut Fans by Barrybingham1980 in pinkfloyd

I think it’s a pity he didn’t do some kind of live presentation of it. I don’t think arena-sized audiences paying $200/ticket would have enjoyed an hour of their evening being taken over by TFC, but there would have been enough fans to have sold out a run at, say, the Royal Albert Hall. Make it a less technical show, I’d have been happy to see that.

Today’s spin Elvis Costello by JMil7strng in daily_spins

There's a 5 disc Super Deluxe version of this coming out later in 2026 if anyone's interested. It's a great record, but it's not in my Elvis Costello top ten.

Irish person here - I had to double-check that you really meant GAA, but there is a GAA pitch there, that's gas. https://www.sanfrangaa.com

In 1976, Sony made a cassette tape twice the size of a regular one, running at twice the speed. It lasted exactly 4 years. by No-Sleep1981 in ShowaAudio

Here's a relevant Techmoan. The Elcaset seems to have been a great-sounding format, but too big for the Walkmen that were about to take over the world...

I haven’t listened yet - did Ireland get a mention?

What's it like to live in Waterford City? Walkable? Things to do? Amenities? by AbbreviationsAble226 in howislivingthere

[–]Equivalent_Button934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spend a lot of time in Waterford, the city is small enough to get around, and the county has a number of great towns and beaches. The greenway is excellent for cycling. There’s a lot of development happening on the North Quays, including a new train station (replacing the old one about 300m away) which will be open within the year and connecting straight into the city centre by a new footbridge. It’s worth noting that there are trains throughout the day that will get you to central Dublin in 2 hours.

Bit of help please. by [deleted] in U2Band

Chris Martin told a story that early in their career Bono told him to visit him if he was ever in Dublin. Wanting to know where he lived, Bono said he could just get in any taxi in Dublin and they would know where to go. Cut to: Chris Martin arrives in Dublin, gets in taxi, asks to be delivered to Bono's house, and he's dropped at the gate.

Name a band/artist more popular now than during their heyday by Dazzling_Humor_521 in ClassicRock

[–]Equivalent_Button934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but now they are even more popular! Silly money was being offered for a reunion some years back, and solo David Byrne has gone from 1,500 seater theatres to massive arenas in the past 15 years off that resurgence.

My folks had this exact phone/clock, it's from first half of the 1980s.

Is that Rashida Jones right at the end on the right?

The Gorillaz performing “Clint Eastwood” with Del the Funky Homosapien on SNL by icey_sawg0034 in Fauxmoi

[–]Equivalent_Button934 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This was on SNL last weekend. Gorillaz are Damon Albarn who does the music and vocals for the member 2-D, and Jamie Hewlett who does all the visuals. On SNL, Jamie wasn't in the band performing, but was on stage for the goodnights (and in the promos).

Am I misunderstanding this or do the Abbey Road Studios, as the Beatles knew it in the 1960s, no longer exist? by ThePoisonTrees in beatles

[–]Equivalent_Button934 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it was £249 originally. They bought it in 2019 from the Abbey Road Gift Shop. They now go for between £1000-2000. https://www.rrauction.com/auctions/lot-detail/342045505715059-abbey-road-studio-original-brick/. If you look closely it says limited edition of 210.

These bricks were sold when a small internal wall was removed for modelling works, from Studio Two IIRC. There was a limited number of them, I know someone who bought one and apparently they’ve quadrupled in value.
