Introduce yourself with 10 bands/musicians you've seen live The Cure Marillion Depeche Mode Spiritualized Dead Can Dance Peter Gabriel Roger Waters Jean Michel Jarre My Bloody Valentine The Waterboys

Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is the new game from the people who made Disco Elysium. I've been playing it all afternoon and I'm really enjoying it so far. It's identical to Disco, gameplay-wise, so if you liked that, then this is definitely worth a go.

I see Kevin Rowland's singing is even more difficult to understand than it was back then...

Look what I just got. A 1 hour musical based on that classic song we all know and love ... well, apart from @judgedrokk.bsky.social that is. 😉 They made it to help with your homework.

#NowPlaying John Barry - From Russia With Love OST

#NowReading On The Beach by Nevil Shute Someone recommended this book to me here recently and the library got a copy for me today. I'm looking forward to this.

quote with a fictional band that is not spinal tap

#NowPlaying John Barry & others - Dr. No Soundtrack First listen. Despite being a Bond fan since I was at least five years old, I never owned any of the soundtrack albums. I finally decided to change this, and have bought a couple of them last week. I will eventually get them all too.

Drop an Alien that's not from Star Wars or Star Trek.

Got some lovely goodies in the post this morning. The modem doesn't have any practical use these days but I always wanted one anyway.

Clive Barker's E.T.

I'm back home. The results of yesterday's blood test were very good, not to mention the IV antibiotics I got last night seemed to cause a fantastic improvement, so they discharged me this evening. I'm completely exhausted now though, so I'm probably going to sleep for ten hours or more tonight.

In the hospital, waiting to be seen again. Someone named Oliver Hardy was just called in. How long before they ask for Stan Laurel?

Slightly increase a band. Cocteau Triplets.

I was in hospital all day getting some tests done for my cellulitis, which has only been getting worse lately. I have to go back tomorrow for more examinations, and possibly stay over for a day or three too. Yippee!!!

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

RIP Mark "Woody" Woodmass who made not only great ZX Spectrum emulators (most recently SpecEmu) but did a way too addictive game for the speccy spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/20686/...

From Facebook. RIP Woody. 😢

It would only be two years out, so that would be fantastic.

Look at what I just got. 😁 Now I have five.

Epic NPC Man is ten (TEN!!!) years old this month, and is still my favourite web series of all time. I didn't actually see it until about a year and a half later (the Girl Voice Chat episode) but I watched every episode since.

Very sad news. Bosco was a big part of my childhood, and everyone who grew up in the 80s in Ireland. RIP Gráinne.

Night has fallen and the foul are abroad. spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/6604/Z...

I have a Steam key for Total War: Warhammer III if anyone wants it. It expires on Monday though, so you will have to use it before then.

Yep, pretty much nailed it.

#NowPlaying Auto Da Fé - Tatitum First listen. I'm still very surprised I never heard of them before. They're really good. They're an Irish 80s synthpop band formed by Gay Woods (from Steeleye Span) and Trevor Knight, and are very similar to early Human League and Erasure.

I've been playing Dartz by Automata a lot over the last few days after trying out a couple of games I have never played properly before. It is such a simple, fun and addictive game. I'm sure I will be giving it another go shortly. spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/1268/Z...

Films you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney or Ghibli.

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant Disaster I can vividly remember seeing it on the news back then. 1986 really wasn't a good year. www.rte.ie/news/analysi...

Freeze-ZX Issue 3 arrived this morning. Already had a quick look through it and it looks great. I will read it properly during the weekend. @freeze-zx.bsky.social

Happy 44th Birthday to the one and only ZX Spectrum, the greatest computer ever made. 🎂🎁

The Robin of Sherwood Blu Ray arrived today. Just finished watching episode 1 and it's as good as I remembered. Here it is alongside the Clannad soundtrack and computer game adaptation.

I was doing some YouTube trawling last night when I found this band, Auto Da Fé. They're an Irish synthpop band formed by former members of Steeleye Span. How is it I've never heard of them before?

Vincent Hanley and MT USA.

Got a couple of lovely retro goodies in the post just now. Radioactive Ralph (a brand new Speccy game), four old issues of Crash, and the new surround sound mix of The Hurting by Tears For Fears. Very lovely!
