Taking it back to whence we all came.
And this, without video, but one of my all time favs.
That's me done. Probably. ;-)
ETA: Changed the link to Fall from Grace to 2008 Remastered version, I would say, from the jump in sound quality. Can you still get this? I want one.

If we are going that way....
I loved this at the time and love it more now: perfect pop from Nige, Dave and Trevor

It was on the magnificent 2 x 12" (vinyl only). Only 400 pressed and long gone I think.

I suspect so. Sure stands the test of time. IMhO.
Oh go on then...
This took me here. Heaven knows why.

Journalists wanted to turn campaigns into larger narratives, and there was no easier narrative than covering politics as though it were a sport.
Hunter S. Thompson - this is another fine mess you got us into... and that's without even mentioning the guns of Aspen...

Hunter S. Thompson -
What, so we're done with our musical interleukin?
Just as well, it was bordering on self-indulgent. Just 'bordering' mind...
ETA: Gonzo Journalism. He did it his way.

“For all the stuff they accuse her [Palin] of, that gun poster has not done a tenth of the damage to the political discourse as what we’re hearing right now.”

Good vibrations and costimulations...
What, so we're done with our musical interleukin?
No, it's great that these proteinager signalling molecules are vibrating and costimulating benignly and good to cytokines (er - sight those music movies) especially as my immunity to the '80s is now at its strongest ;- )
Plus it gives hope that our own cells will retain these memories as we can't guarantee the great Entertainment Corporations will be able to!
Personally I don't think tape and vinyl are forever either - both are susceptible to heat, and tapes can be erased by powerful electromagnetic fields...So remember - we are the songs that shape us!

It turned out the machines didn't age very well, and there weren't many of them left to access the data. The solution? Emulation and reverse engineering.

Ditto. And this. Not saying anything, just that it's probably about time for some cake.
