Chic - At Last I Am Free

Star-Tels - Exterminator Man

Thoughts on TW's post:

I'm not a game dev, but an app dev and (back in the day) a bulletin board mod for a talk show. And have been on the receiving end, including being called a Nazi in a newspaper for banning "free debate and discussion". (ie: overt racism, sexism and deeply unpleasant jokes about cancer,amongst other things. Then again, if they didn't want that reported back to their boss, they should have taken note that we displayed their origin server address to them when they posted, which had the name of their newsroom on it). ...ahem. There are fine lines between fan appreciation, enthusiasm, participation, expectation, entitlement, activism and hate. Some people step over them now and then and can be gently nudged back where you need them. Some people bulldoze them. And some people are just trolls. Not taking this stuff personally is damn hard, especially when (a) you're not actually paid to deal with this stuff and (b) they think, say, and occasionally make legal claims that "the fans created this more than you did". I set the rules for the sandbox. They play in it. Without people playing, it doesn't work: when the kids play rough, it doesn't work either. And when they whine, I get a headache, and consider whether having these kids play in my back garden is what I want to be doing. (Though yelling GET OFF MY DAMN VIRTUAL LAWN tends to produce negative responses too...)

The Ronettes - Be My Baby Farewell to a true soul survivor, in every conceivable sense. Rest in light, Ronnie Bennett.

Slay Duggee - The Stick Song (That's probably enough of these isn't it)

OK Go - The Muppet Show

Helmet - Gigantor

Ramones - Spiderman Theme

Yo Gabba Gabba (and special guest) - Doctor Doctor

REM (and friends) - Happy Furry Monsters NB: they'd retired Shiny Happy People a few years before, so this was the last time the song was performed in any form. Also... I love that they made a Kate Pierson muppet.

I Fight Dragons - Heads Up, Hearts Down (Note: saw the keyboard line on this played live... on a heavily adapted Power Glove.)

Grinderman vs U.N.K.L.E - Hyper Worm Tamer

On a theme of music from video games: this still brings back memories... Garbage - As Heaven Is Wide (PS: anyone think a David Arnold big band mix of this would make a great choice for Bond 26's opening track - and title... if they do what I think they're gonna do?)

Very handy - am rebuilding DreamWeaver (well, Miss Dream Weaver now... guess the name was probably going to go as I didn't sign in here for 2 years post-launch). That said... what do you think of rigging the Sorcery pool into this build? I'm loving it,and it adds a whole range of handy Emp/Psi friendly extras, like a solid extra attack, Flight (and TP!) and togglable extra protection and damage for your lead tank (though I've not tried using Enflame on an enemy yet.)

Nice to see excellent Canadian rock getting some spin time. But for balance: Et maintenant, pour nos amis Quebecois... Noir Désir - L'Homme Pressé

That's only the first half of that bit. There's a whole lot more Lloyd-level lunacy through the movie - involving a china shop, the world's most dangerous bedroom farce, and why I always tag my luggage. Oh, and Madeleine Kahn's in it, stealing any scene that isn't nailed down. (But - fair warning - any time she shows up, get earplugs.) Hauling this back to relevancy: great physical stunt and wire work in Shang-Chi, especially the bus bit - more fun with SF's hills, kung-fu dating, and the Macau scaffolding. You can throw all the CGI you want at something but feels so much better when it's real.

Mobile gaming: upgraded to PUBG New State. Lush graphics updates, new core map, new toys, upgrades can be delivered by Amazon Prime drone, you can recruit players from other teams if you knock them out and they don't quit first, kinda-sorta-ongoing "story" missions. Oh and... weirdly janky running animations, and extra long load times.

Oh, c'mon. Everything's better with dragons. Even car chases.

Parliament - P-Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up) Rest in funk to Calvin Simon, vocalist for Parliament and Funkadelic.

He has a name, y'know. Krrsantan. ...btw, does anyone else want a Doc Aphra series?

Elvis and Bowie both born the same day? Hmmm... maybe they both went home to the same planet. And somewhere there is a small orbital bar with the best damn jam band this side of Barnard's Star. Elvis Presley - Burning Love

David Bowie - Heroes Happy 75th Birthday to the only man with more real-life alts than I ever managed on CoH: The Thin White Duke, Ziggy, Major Tom, Aladdin Sane, Halloween Jack, The Blind Prophet, Jareth, Nikola Tesla... and every reinvention of himself. I'm not sure whether he rests in light, has regenerated again, or just went home. But we on this planet miss him.

David Bowie - Moonage Daydream

David Bowie - New Killer Star
