  I’m guessing the reason that The Cure (debut LP from 1979) is on this list is that it was made by an american, that first heard them because of “Friday I’m in Love”?

  My brain: 4/6 of those are 80s bands

  Why not both?

  I remember listening to Nevermind for probably the first time while playing computer games. I thought the CD (new technology for me at the time) had broken and started chewing the disc like an old tape

  And with locked grooves, metal machine music for instance has a loop on the innermost groove on side D so it can be played infinitely. There’s also records with only loops made with locked grooves.

  One band pressed the sound of a C64 BASIC program onto vinyl that could be recorded onto tape and loaded with the c64 tape deck. All sorts of shenanigans.

  One of the more optimistic estimates in this thread is that it would take us ~60 000 years to travel with existing technology.

  Of course, now that we have ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok we’re obviously gonna reach light speed travel within the next 10 years, so it won’t be a problem.

  “Spotify managers defended PFC to staff by claiming that the tracks were being used only for background music, so listeners wouldn’t know the difference […]”

  (PFC = “Perfect Fit Content”, i. e. Fake Artists)

  I have a feeling this quote exemplifies the attitude the management of these platforms have towards their end users, though it’s seldom this explicitly formulated.

  Even cnailshells would have to adhere to the basic laws of conchology though

  I mean, it could be a manual photoshop job.

  It could, but the double spiral in the shell indicates AI to me. Snail shells don’t grow like that. If it was a manual job, someone would have used a picture of a real shell.

  This seems like a good opportunity to tell the story of “Balloon man”
