Given that euro ncap have had pedestrian/cyclist safety ratings for a while, I don't see why governments shouldn't ban the sale of cars which fail to meet a minimum threshold. Sick of the ever-escalating car size & bonnet height I see.

1000x yes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUqg...

100% on both! It took this compilation of covers to make me come round to him being a great songwriter. Once that belting-it-out voice is gone, the songs are so much more digestible. wiaiwya.bandcamp.com/album/play-s...

Yeah, feared so, but thought I'd ask!

/5 Put another way, this is on Americans, not just the people who lead them. A truly “freedom-loving” people would not endure this and would not have developed a political culture so encrusted with servile deference to authority that permits it. A free people would find it revolting.

My god, that's horrendous

The Police, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears and UB40 (Unemployment Benefit 40) amongst others and from a variety of income security directions:

Also busycircuits.com/motto-akemie/ ALM's Motto Akemie is a nice FM-based drum machine, like having a brace of Akemie's Taikos in your computer. Easy & intuitive to tweak, and can generate a wide range of sounds.

Instrument-wise, I've enjoyed Fors Tela fors.fm/tela; a modal synthesizer which is bit like having a software version of one of the Elektron "machines". Nice, playful UI and can get deep or not depending on what you're after.

Sad news. Love his rough-hewn tunes, esp this one
