I have lived my life on the web under the assumption the other Tom Clancy will leave enough chaff in my wake to make things hard. But probably not because I make the same 5 or 6 jokes over and over.

This is my church.

Last night a DJ saved my life

Hang the DJ

The podcast "History of Rock in 500 Songs" (full disclosure: I am a devout, slavering fan) provides these on the regular. I was actually smiling when I heard a fairly new song that attempts a really flat, fuzzed out sound because it made me think, "Buddy Holly invented that by accident with a broken speaker". One of the episodes on The Who goes into the Marshall behind Marshall amps in similar detail.

I suppose if I were going to recommend a single episode to Hacker News though, it would be https://500songs.com/podcast/episode-146-good-vibrations-by-... which begins with at least a half hour on the amazing (if not happy) life of the guy who invented the Theremin, Lev Sergeyevich Termen.


I’ve heard a few people strongly recommend that pod. I’ll check it out

What’s the newer song you mention with the flat fuzz?


Oh wow! This is incredible...thanks for sharing.

Ha, you won’t be thanking me once it consumes your life. Join us. We all float down here.

You are stating unequivocally that every bus in every European country is nicer than the average bus in the US?

Mexican third tier town bus beats Atlanta airport shuttle.

It is not even controversial or anormal. If nobody cares about an infrastructure and reluctantly maintains it only because it _has_ to (e.g. by federal mandate), then yeah, you get bottom-of-the-barrel service and a negative feedback loop (no ridership → cuts).

Successful transit systems work when the political will is there to support it.


Yes!

Yeah, I think the fact they are willing to dance to any new tune under Trump gives away the game completely. Whether it will make any difference to the audience is something I've stopped hoping about.

I liked it better when you guys called yourselves "Know Nothings". It made it easier to follow what was going on.

Can you show your math on how an example of the opposite of what the person you are responding to you can also mean the same thing? Feel free to skip if you live in a non-Euclidian geometry, but the OP was saying such a thing would have been likely to get people killed in the past for violating a society's mores.

Or bought just long enough later to make it too late.

They bought it but the revival was just the corpse moving around from heavy handed cpr attempts. It still lives thanks to the guy from Pinboard, but only as an archive really.

Are you confusing Flickr with Delicious (Which was what Pinboard guy bought from Yahoo) or am I missing something?

Sorry, pronoun confusion, definitely meant delicious.

you are confused :) you are thinking about del.icio.us

flickr is alive and well
