Well, my memory says so. So does Wikipedia.

Well, that’s pretty much what the song was about.

Oh dear! This brings back memories of listening to Ed “Stewpot” Stewart’s radio show on a Saturday morning when I was a kid. I’m not nostalgic enough to actually play the vid though.

Documentary evidence that the 1970s were more fun than the 21st century.

Love this! One of the best gigs I’ve ever been to was Pixies at the Brixton Academy, some time in the early '90s. Epic evening.

Lots of good choices from their first album. Then Came The Last Days Of May is my favourite.

Difford and Tilbrook are great songwriters.

Well, If you asked me what my favourite Waits album was I’d probably say Swordfishtrombones or Rain Dogs. But somehow, late at night when a few whiskies have been drunk, it seems to be the '70s albums that end up on the turntable.

I think I’d go for No Thugs In Our House.

Aaaaaaaagh!

Yes, I mostly buy from Qobuz and Bandcamp these days, and they’ve been solid so far. But I don’t trust keeping my files in the cloud (aka some else’s server), I buy DRM-free, keep copies locally, and keep them backed up.

Exactly, it’s not news. If you buy DRM-encoded media you don’t own it. You are just leasing it on terms decided by the seller, which are subject to change at their whim.

Buy DRM-free or physical media and make your own copy.

Yes, when I have used Edge it’s been absolutely fine. Probably better than Chrome. I’d likely be quite happy to use it most of the time if it wasn’t for the fact that Microsoft are so intent on forcing me to do so.

I mostly use Vivaldi now which I think is by far the best of the Chromium-based browsers.
