  1. Hadn't heard of Trespass until the weekend until I heard them on a Friday Rock Show recording from January 1980...They sounded excellent so I'll buy their latest album on vinyl soon 👌🤘🏻

  2. "I've been online for longer than the internet. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 56k modems on fire in the light of Usenet. I watched IRC forks glitter in the dark near the Gateway 3000. All those moments will be lost in slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify."

    I shamelessly stole that quote from a random post I saw on here. It perfectly captures my online existence and what I think about the current state of it.

    I've been online since the mid 90's, usually through friends computers at first, before that I'd been tinkering with computers since I was about 12yrs old, from things like Commodore 64's & Amiga's as well as Atari ST's. I got my first PC with a modem in 98, I've been building my own PC's since 2000, but I'd been upgrading systems in some way since at least 91.

    I remember the hope and promise it held and how that's been ripped away from everyone for lies, tracking, privacy invasion and a subscription to everything. If they could force you into a subscription service to breathe... they would.

    I've been on Masto for 3yrs or so now. I deleted facebook in 2011, twitter in 2018 (not that I really ever used it) and shunned all others with the exception of G+ when that was good between 2011-2015.

    Mastodon is my only social media platform now. I switched to beige.party because my previous instance went through a period of instability and was constantly down for a day or two at least 2 or 3 times a month.

    Things that interest me or I post about.

    Some people like to put fancy letters after their names, so I thought I'd do the same.

  4. Velvet Revolver were an alternative metal supergroup consisting of Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum alongside Dave Kushner of Wasted Youth, and Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots.

  5. Can't have a #DepecheMode afternoon whilst cleaning around the house and reorganizing stuff for when the kitchen fitter comes next week... and not play the song that start it all... their first single from 1981 #DreamingOfMe

    Added as a bonus track on the special edition re-release CD of #SpeakAndSpell

    It may have originally came out in 1980... I've got an original 7" here but I can't get at it to check.

  8. #FridayRockShow

    Another classic track from the 80's... The first gig I ever went to was a massive open air concert with Simple Minds, The Cult, The Bangles, The Waterboys and a band called In Tau Nu that I never heard of again.

  13. This band gets a lot of hate, but in the early 2000's they were very popular and I have to admit, I still kinda like this song.

    I just don't admit liking it to my more serious metalheaded friends... ya know, because even metalheads can be pretentious douchebags.
