Well this is interesting

No

No!

I’d rather hand a dollar to the next human I encounter, for no reason at all. At least that has a little potential for mirth.

Daveb · October 13, 2018, 7:28pm

Agreed.

That is really neat!

They’ve got a whole bunch of interesting candy history vids. I liked these ones as well:

I love these! Have you seen the video about the Jodie Whittaker celebration candy? It’s a really good roundup of all the woman Time Lords – including previous woman Doctor incarnations (non-canon).

Bill Murray as the Human Torch!

I think this is where he perfected his “bored with the production I’m currently in” shtick.

The theme music of my teen years.

It’s funny - as much as I’ve loved electronic music for decades I never really got into his. I did get a “best of” album (Images) that I like – especially Moon Machine.

I love the car door slamming shut.

Very interesting.
Reminds me of something I read about Rick Rubin making his early Def Jam beats with no sampler and tape loops that took up the whole room.
Don’t know anything about Jarre but sessioning Oxygene now. I know I’ve seen the artwork, though. Moon Machine has a heavy Art of Noise vibe to it, but Jarre certainly must have influenced them.

Jarre’s early music is expansive and spacey. As it progressed, it became more uptempo.

kxkvi · October 18, 2018, 1:45am

Alas, broken link.
I like uptempo!

I wasn’t sure where else to put this… but, for my upper division course, I assigned a primary source search, in this case connected to publishing. I give them one of three options - either an issue of If magazine, an issue of the legendary Weekly World News, or a zine from the Archive.org zine archive (from before the year 2000). Lots of people pick the WWN, because it’s so weird and fun. A couple of sci-fi nerds always pick If. But only a few folks go for the zine archive. One of the students who did that picked an issue of Propaganda Magazine (paging @Wanderfound, who if I’m remembering correctly was into all things goth back in the day). It was from 1998, and she talked about the music reviews, it included a Changelings review:

among other things…

Anyway, it was cool, but made me feel a bit old…

Speaking of the Changelings, Paul Mercer’s solo stuff is worth checking out… here’s a recent video he did at the Doraville Marta station in the ATL (paging other ATLien, @noahdjango):

And his bandcamp:

This is a look from him I haven’t seen before.
