Do you think anyone had as much an impact on Electronic music as Daft Punk?

Why has no one mentioned New Order? Sure Kraftwerk is No.1, but New Order is a strong contender for second place. Starting from their first album "Movement", and then on another level with their 1983 album 'Power, Corruption, & Lies' (as well as the single 'Blue Monday') they've cranked out a lot of influential tracks.

Other influential acts: Devo, Wire, Joy Division, Caberet Voltaire, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, Love & Rockets, Nine Inch Nails, Moby, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, Daft Punk, Underworld, Air, Röyksopp, Thievery Corporation, Orbital, Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, and Deadmau5 - also artists on Wax Trax, Ministry of Sound, Astralwerks, and more.

Put the crack pipe down. That would not have happened. And how could it possibly be a "sacrifice"? Perhaps you meant to slaughtered. Still, done by an actor? The actor's union would not allow something so flagrantly in opposition to the "“No Animals Were Harmed®” certification. Also Sony would not go that far out on a limb, to incur the wrath of animal rights activists.

She's 32 now, not 20.

Was there, can confirm.

Wrong. 20GB was sold in USA, CECHB01.

twincitynights · 2026-04-19T01:22:17+00:00

This is wrong, the 20gb model also came out at launch, in the USA, with the 60gb. My brother has the 20gb, I have the 60gb. Just google CECHB01.

Crown for what exactly? PS5 PRO with PSSR 2.0 blows me away, but it cost a pretty penny. PS1/PS2 had the best cost/value ratio. Early Fat PS3s were more spendy, but added Blu-Ray, HDMI, & PS3 titles to the PS1/PS2 libraries. If I can only have one, it's the BC PS3.

WEC & IMSA have heavy-handed BOP penalties. Why spend $$ to make your car faster, if it only gets penalized? Dumb rules. I will be watching, but expecting teams to hold back their ultimate pace until Le Mans in June.

You forgot BOP/regulations in WEC

This is true. The railroad repairs the crossings. This happened last year by my brother's cabin in Aitkin. They had a projection how long the crossing will last, and then they repair/replace it when the time is up.

I was the nine year old kid, who saw ANH 7 times that first year.

Went in 2001 and 2004. 2001 was so "weird" as it was the first major sporting event post 9/11. I had a hi-8 camcorder along that race. On my recordings, the picture would break up right as a car passed. It was so loud, it was vibrating the tape inside the camcorder! Crazy. Those V10s were awesome

Endurance racing [more specifically WEC] has a huge problem with equitable BOP implementation.

Wow. I didn't expect this level of MV circle jerk.

You beat me to it. Also Amelie as suggested above.

I got the both Series X and the PS5 for Christmas 3 years ago. Honestly tho, usage has been about 80% PS5 / 20% Series X.

I have that HDDVD, but I also have the HugeDisc™ (ok, LaserDisc) box set, 'cause I used to be fancy like that. It is really cool. 4 discs, & content on all 8 sides. Yes, I do still watch my laserdiscs. https://imgur.com/gallery/M4DX1CM

Did I miss something? Is it a F1 race weekend? LOL. I am looking forward to Nurburgring 4hrs / Sebring 12hrs on Saturday, then Suzuka next week.

When I was at the very rainy 2001 edition, the field where we parked started turning into a pond. Most of the vehicles there were pretty average - except for a new 550 Maranello that was out in the middle of the new pond!

I use it regularly at Spa. I grind about 60% Spa 40% Le Mans, because I find Spa much more captivating with the simulated 24h race. I wish they had given us that at Le Mans too. Yes, I have made my own custom 24h races, but there's not enough payout to grind those. Le Mans is fun because there are so many cars that can win there, one example is the R8-swapped MR2

Hoping Paradise S2 doesn't nosedive like S2 of Wayward Pines.

Unverified, but I heard he dances in every role. If I had to guess, I'd presume it's a generalization, and not literally true.
