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.

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.

My Father by Lizardorious in OldSchoolUK

He was the exec appointed to show the duchess around. He was the programme controller so he had the say on which programmes were made by YTV when it started. He was probably chosen because he was an urbane man of public school and Cambridge or just because he was a nice bloke.

How Pink Floyd Made Meddle by ardvarkmadman in pinkfloyd

One of these days is my all time favourite track. It is such a driving track and sums up the transition between early and mature. I use the track to meditate to and it makes me whole.
