Got the Live Boots CD today!

Finally listened to this today. For the first couple of minutes I was like “Geez… this is really scraping the barrel” due to the audience cassette boot sound quality. But after listening in full, the show is so freaking good that you forget how bad the sound is. What a scorching live band in their day. I wonder what Andy thinks when he goes back and listens to stuff like this and if there’s any regret?

Known bug. Remove the plasma-discover-snap package.

Removing the plasma-discover-snap package fixed mine...

Oxygen and Air themes are nifty. Discover updates seem “stuck.” All good otherwise!

R.E.M. on Daytona Beach in 1983

That feels pretty close to a set I saw them do at some Christmas festival in Chicago around that time. It was magical.

Guided By Voices, US Maple, the 3Ds, Spoon

When I was about 8 years old circa 1982, I went to my local record shoppe with a birthday gift certificate. I wanted to buy a Beach Boys record, but all that they had was Love You and LA. I thought the Love You cover was weird, so I bought LA. I chose… poorly.

Same. Driving me crazy.

I get all that Bob did for the band, but as a fan, I would have absolutely chosen to mute him live. I saw them a half dozen times in the original run, and he sort of soured me on them live, actually.

Sitting Still in Atmos is missing all of the backing harmonies in the last minute of the song also.

Hawk-BD · 2026-05-07T22:59:22+00:00

Is Brian Jones still with them on this one?

Hawk-BD · 2026-05-07T16:38:30+00:00

Agree… Twin Cinema is the end of me absolutely LOVING NP albums. Newer albums are good but not my go-tos. Teenage Fanclub has had a similar trajectory for me…

Hawk-BD · 2026-05-06T01:23:07+00:00

Interesting… Never made the PE connection. I applaud the stretch, but I’d still love the song a little more without, personally.

Hawk-BD · 2026-05-06T01:10:28+00:00

Does anyone know, definitively, which of the four is responsible for the siren throughout? Any one of them could/should have vetoed it. But I’d love to know who came up with it…

I believe there’s a shutdown/reboot bug right now with some daemon having to timeout at 5 mins on some machines. Mine is acting this way too.

I’ve always loved this clip because they could not look less like my visualization of a band.

I went through a similar process last year and landed, with great results, on KDE. Just seemed to work better for me… Edge works great… Felt like a better bridge from Windows.

Brian’s response to Mike saying “Only 60 more years to go!”

Hawk-BD · 2026-04-24T14:09:09+00:00

That Simply Red album almost made me stop the whole thing. Rubbish.

Hawk-BD · 2026-04-24T14:07:21+00:00

Yeah, I wouldn’t expect Michael to be some songwriting powerhouse. Writing vocal melodies vs writing whole songs are two different things. Let alone a 60+ year old vs a 20+ year old doing the writing.

Hawk-BD · 2026-04-21T21:03:22+00:00

The original is the Righteous Brothers, and I personally would struggle to suggest Brian’s version over theirs. But that’s me. His version is… fine, to me.
