  1. Why do the Marx brothers look so scary on some of their movie posters? Was it intentional?
  2. News coming in that Michel Piccoli died last Tuesday, at the blessed age of 94.
  3. For most people Slave to the Rhythm / Just an Illusion probably?
  4. Looks like I'll be allowed to go see my mother for Mother's Day. Thanks Mrs. Prime Minister.
  5. Ha, I'm not sure about better, although many of them really are excellent. But yeah, they have a roughness that recalls the releases that ended up on the Pink and Percussions compilations.
  6. It's time I watched Akira again, I think. I recognize a lot of what's been said here, being super impressed with the opening, finding some parts hard to get through or understand what's even going on, but still being completely fascinated by the time it was over. On The Simpsons I don't need to refresh my memory, there's a private (commercial) channel here that shows an episode every weekday, looping through the first ten or so seasons, and I still catch episodes pretty regularly. Feels good man.
  7. New Zandvoort & Uilenbal album's out, including that North Sea field recording track from the ambient set in my previous post. Sounding great so far (I'm on my first listen right now).
  8. Did you not read the rest of his post? * lols * ** prints thread **
  9. The EuroMOMO data above show mortality regardless of assigned cause of death, so that's no excuse for Belgium's performance. I think it's more likely that one or more of the regional governments were negligent in readying nursing homes for the epidemic (hospitals are a federal matter), and that people abused the permission to exercise outside, especially early on. And, it being a small country (more comparable in population to Lombardy than to the whole of Italy, for instance), there is the element of luck. Once you have a "local" outbreak there's already not much left in terms of lesser affected regions to bring down the average.
  10. Well, them and the UK maybe.
  11. Yeah, while I agree it's hard to determine which measures are effective and which don't have that much real-world effect from the current patchwork of strict/soft/'intelligent' () lock-downs in Europe... Sweden is like the one example that's unambiguously doing worse than anyone in its neighborhood (Norway, Finland, Denmark, Estonia). European monitoring of excess mortality for public health action (EuroMOMO)
  12. https://soundcloud.com/four-tet/mariah-resting-her-feet-on-her-turntable-martyn-edit Is the Mariah turntable edit haunted? Comments aren't showing and the download button doesn't work.
  13. He added a few more while I was asleep. Beyoncé track already gone. Who do I need to blow for a download?
  14. Maybe they spent the last seven years studying law and trying to get all the Old Tunes samples cleared.
  15. Wait until he sees that French paper on the protective effects of nicotine.
  16. 7 albums? I must have zoned out for a while.
