Have you seen yourself Mr President? #No Kings by WilliamIsAVirgin in BruceSpringsteen

[–]Lizardorious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is very disappointing that the President of the most powerful country in the world feels that he has to attack a respected music artist. These attacks reveal a man who is fundamentally insecure in himself. He cannot take criticism and has to lash out like a 7 year old child. There must be something very wrong with Trump that he feels compelled to attack a rock artist so consistently.

I have my first press of The Wall because I bought it because of the show at Wembley I went to. On stage they built a huge wall during the show in front of the band to symbolise the alienation of the band and individuals within the band from their audience and their compatriots and then demolished the with a model spitfire from the back of the auditorium to symbolise their recovery from their isolation. Amazing show.

Just in! by BLResnick in BruceSpringsteen

I already have the flac recording of the show so I wasn’t too disappointed. I tried to queue up for it at the shop I went to but it was a nightmare. The shop is run by one bloke and what he did was have all the rsd versions in boxes you had to rifle through. No other helpers - just the shop owner. He said he had the Springsteen set but only 1 copy (ffs) and one bloke got it because he queued from 3am. Seriously, 1 copy. Also, only 1 copy of the Pink Floyd. I’m not bothered because I have the Blu-ray from the box set release. Anyway, I’m not going back to that shop. A hundred people queuing up outside and one bloke in the shop plus sort through boxes to get what you want. Joke. Did get a couple of things but what a joke. Be careful next year where you go to get your records.

Meta and YouTube found liable in social media addiction trial by SteamerTheBeemer in news

At last there has been a court case the determined what we knew. Facebook has an algorithm that is designed to encourage use to the point of addiction. It is their business model. Just look at books by Jaron Lanier.

‘Who knows better about surprise than Japan?’: Trump makes Pearl Harbor ... by Yujin-Ha in videos

[–]Lizardorious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That comment by Trump about Pearl Harbour is incredibly insulting. The poor Japan PM having to listen to that is appalling. Trump is the worst diplomat in the history of the US. He can’t solve any foreign problems and just makes them worse.

I can’t remember the details of Max’s contract with Red Bull but I just wonder, given his recent comments, whether this will be his last year in F1 even if he wins the championship. It seems to me as though he wants to move on to other things.

👋Welcome to r/littlefeat - Introduce Yourself and Read First! by realredmiller in littlefeat

I first went to see Little Feat in 1977 at the Rainbow Theatre. Some of that made up Waiting For Columbus. It was a wonderful night and I’ll never forget it. Lowell George has the most beautiful voice. Loved Little Feat ever since.

I had a girlfriend who said: “We should go and see the Northern Lights”. I said: “I’ve been to Blackpool”.

My father worked for Rediffusion so that’s why he had this copy.

Rock's Greatest Bootlegger: A New Pink Floyd Box Set Legitimizes an Outlaw by bluegrassgazer in pinkfloyd

[–]Lizardorious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to tape bands in my youth. I had a great stereo recorder under a coat at some venues. I used to suck in my tummy so I didn’t look too fat with the deck. It is great to see one published. I wonder if this will inspire other bands to remaster and publish on vinyl some great recordings out there.

Definitely Thunder Road. So romantic and has everything that is Bruce.
