This may also be of interest, though more from a sound designer rather than musician point of view.

A more likely scenario is the media circle jerk intensifies as Mail & Telegraph reviews get replaced with a "what other news channels are saying" segment featuring prominent slots for Talk TV & GB News.

My husband's Bulgarian coworkers commandeering the DJ booth at a party c. 2003 was my 1st exposure to this type of E. European folk/techno. I was charmed but didn't explore further. Thank you Go_A for putting it back on my radar

I made this list of tracks weeks ago & included this due to great memories of a road trip to the Isle of Lewis with a friend of mine. It's suddenly more poignant because he died last weekend.😥

Sometimes I wonder if this is really the best track to introduce people to Vee Mampeezy. And then the bass line kicks in.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

This loose screw travelled approx 4cm across the motherboard, from holding down one end of the SSD drive to shorting out the 12V power rail, at a cost of almost £100 per centimetre!😱

A laptop motherboard with a small loose screw wedged between a cable & a surface mount inductor.

This song was released April 2024.

Sorry for missing that info from my post. My laptop with all my pre-prepared posts for this challenge died a few days ago, so I'm having to recreate them from a back-up list of titles & artists while it's away getting repaired.
