I'd say "who buys that s**t"!  But nobody buys music any more.

Who streams that s**t?

First thing comes into my head is when they got pelted with bottles of urine at Reading.

heard this on 6 Music and not knowing who it was thought it was well good. Was very surprised to hear it was daphne & celeste; sounds like they’ve got in a decent producer!

i like the laurie anderson 'superman' pulse, and the envelope filter effect on the bass is neat. makes it punch in and out in an interesting way. that aside, neither utterly depressing or 'to live for'.

maybe most curious was seeing the floppy disc. is this the new thing? we've seen the hipster fetishisaztion-re-commodification of vinyl and cassettes, so are floppies really the new black?

I quite like that. Has a Thomas Dolby vibe to it.

I can remember working on CP/M machines that used them - I think ICL DRS-50 was one of them.  This would be 1980/2 or thereabouts.

I was a happy little COBOL programmer in those halcyon days... *sniff*
