Streaming is absolutely not a preservation resource — releases get edited or just absolutely deleted from streaming libraries so often. We had a preservation resource. Twice. RIP OiNK and What.CD

Yeah, I'd probably say it's not worth the cost and time of travel it'll take you to get from London to Manchester and then back again in the same day. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome exhibit, but it's gonna cost you serious money and time to make it there, it'll easily take up a whole day. Probably not worth it, unless you're more of a fan of Lynch than me.

I don't understand your posts, man. Firstly you say how you don't understand the hate, but then you write a big long post detailing the reasons why people are hating on it and also dismissing those reasons, but then say you want to genuinely know why people hate on it? If you feel like there aren't legitimate reasons for people to be boycotting the Epic Games Store, then you're either misinformed, or you're intentionally trolling — I'm thinking you're on the latter there, since you make a comparison to a console system (Microsoft acquiring Double Fine) and one of the main sticking points that people have with Epic Games Store is that they're effectively creating console-like exclusivity on what is meant to be an open platform. At the end of the day, it's capitalism and if people don't like it, they don't like it — and the legitimate way to show that is to boycott the store.

Maybe you should look up the numerous very negative things about Epic Game Store and the way they have sought these exclusives, and the seriously terrible privacy implications.

It’s a totally accurate accent. I should know. I’m from Essex.

From what I've read, they've only just started responding to it. It's been an issue plaguing Switch consoles since launch. They're doing the very least they should be doing, and they're doing it pretty late. On top of that, there's also no guarantee that the new Switch Mini or whatever it's called will be free from the same defect — considering that they're only just publicly acknowledging the problem, I would guess that it's going to affect the new console too. They're not the only major conglomerate company to act like this (fucking looking at you, Apple, you fucks) but I'm sure there'll still be plenty of people ready to suck Nintendo's dick in exactly a week's time or less.

New font sucks.

But, I thought Nintendo could do no wrong?…

Ohhhhh shiiiiiiiiiii

If I remember rightly, the Acorn Electron was basically a consumer version of the BBC Micro, which Acorn Computers also manufactured. It ran BASIC, and I had to load games from tapes (like you do with the ZX Spectrum). ARM is something to do with Acorn Computers, too…so yeah, pretty interesting.

Systems I grew up on, in order of use: Acorn Electron Atari 2600 (aka 2600 jr) Nintendo Entertainment System Commodore Amiga 500 and 1200 Sega Mega Drive Super Nintendo Entertainment System Commodore Amiga CD32 Sony Playstation And then, various 386, 486, Pentium PCs that I scrabbled together. All these were systems I used before leaving school (16 here in the UK)

Boards of Canada web-stream, live from the bunker.

Surely you mean David Bowie's Crystal Japan?

Honestly? I don't care if they never release any new music again. What does irritate me is this continued trolling, and that is exactly what it is now. The moment that Boards of Canada were going to be involved in this, both the band and the label would have known that there would be rampant speculation if they didn't stipulate exactly what their contribution would be — so they played coy. In fact, I would argue that they played up on it entirely by being cryptic and not specifying that it would be a mix (don't start splitting hairs with the whole "selections" thing either). Also having their contribution towards the very end builds speculation that it's going to be "something special", and whilst arguably it was something special, it arguably wasn't what the vast majority of fans were hoping for. So what happened happened — yelps from Believers of The Brothers every time a warbly synth came on. it's just, like, what's the point in perpetually doing a gotcha? So you're going along with the trolling too eh @Joyrex? It's disappointing, but not unexpected.

So. No new BoC. As expected.

Well, they did — that's why they were sent to Warp as demo!

Same here, the sound palette is proper awesome sauce

The recordings are clean as fuck — even cleaner than the Lego Feet reissue, which in my opinion sounded great. Top notch job on digitising these, Sam & Rod.

lol "I reek of putrefaction!"

Yeah, mine was like 2003 so around same time.

Oh shit, sorry — I thought they were all submitted by us all (I was even on that mosaic montage thing). Now you're taking this BoC mystique too far…
