@streakmachine chuckle Looks like I’ll have to get ‘The Ghost in You’ from the Qobuz online shop (£1.69). Or maybe Amazon Music….but I prefer independent outfits.
Why can’t I buy Siouxsie and the Banshees's ‘Superstition’ album from iTunes? I hope it’s not because a song on it is about past events on the famous square in Peking.
@peemee If a machine can get over that hurdle will it have passed the Turing test?
@phoneboy Wow, I’m detecting a pattern here. I wonder if any politicians have connections with the companies that offer these ‘services’.
@hazardwarning Well, Mark Carney did say in the future we’ll have to accept more poverty and less personal freedom. So it looks like the new aristocracy is giving us just that. And I suppose it’s just a completely random coincidence that the Get Russia geopolitical strategy is making us poorer and reducing the breadth of opinions we are allowed to consume.
@phoneboy It’s bad enough that they force you to do something against your will but they have the gall to make you pay for it?
@matigo Didn’t see anything about when they became common but early twentieth century sounds about right. Families must have done a lot of huddling before radiators were popularised. I’m glad they were invented.
