I work in a bookstore on Sundays, England's oldest anarchist bookshop, which has been around since the 1880s. We had a book event tonight for Tim Wells who writes about skinhead werewolves in East London 😁 Freedom Bookshop (@freedombookshop) • Instagram photo WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM Freedom Bookshop shared a post on Instagram: "This Friday @timwellsauthor joins us in the...

Yeah man, I didn't discover music until I was about 14 and found out there was a whole world of music to explore, thanks mostly to a mate at school. Such pleasure, music is one of the best things human beings do. Even the shit music I hate😅

I love it. I should be reading last thing at night but I've been on this a lot. Personally, for shooters I'll be sticking to PC, although I should try it with a keyboard and mouse at some point. I've been working though Disco Elysium, South Park stick of truth and started No Mans Sky last night....but I've about 17 games installed at the moment and I've played a little bit of Hotwheels Unleashed, Prey, the Ascent, CloudPunk, GTA 4, Katana Zero and Divinity Original Sin. I haven't tried DayZ and not sure how well it is optimised but I'll check and let you know🙂 I hear they've ramped up production so I'm sure yours will be available im no time.

PMJ are pretty awesome at what they do. My personal favourites of theirs is Gangsta's Paradise and Pinky and the Brain theme song. 👍

I've killed the second boss now. Once I discovered you only need a max of 12 cultists in order to unlock all the areas, I did just that and am focusing more now on the dungeon delving. I've run into a few bugs that have caused me to fail a few follower quests. One example, a follower informs you that their friend wants to marry you. So, if you have the marriage ritual unlocked, You can go into your temple and perform the ceremony. The only problem is there is only ever 6 followers in the temple when you do and half the time, it isn't the one you need to finish the quest. !@#$ Anyways, Let's go kill another boss or two.

When @Rumelylady and I were planning our wedding, we had a very 50s theme going for the invitations. When we went looking for a specific song to accompany it, as well as the general theme for the wedding, we went to Post Modern Jukebox and found this unique cover of a song I didn't really care for until I heard this version. Still love this one. I'd also recommend checking out some of the other arrangements they;ve done for other popular songs over the years.

My best mates dad used to have an amp and big Wharfdale speakers. We used to raid his Lp collection and listen to all sorts of excellent music. Everything from Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Bowie, Bob Marley, The Clash, Aerosmith, Van Halen and hundreds more. We were about 10 or 11 and all the other kids in School were listening to Spice Girls, Peter Andre and Now that's what I call music cassettes. Looking back it's me and my mates introduction to decent music and we will always be thankful for that. 😎

Just watched that Fyre doc on Netflix, Jason Bell was on right at the beginning. #notthatinyresting😁

How you getting on with it @phil bottle? My preorder shouldn't be far off. Can it run DayZ and stuff like that or is that a bridge too far? Ideally I was going for both a new PC and the steam deck, but it's going to have to be one or the other.

It's not even a discussion, vinyl and analogue piss all over digital music 🙂 I do use Spotify and they are supposed to be upping the quality of the streams at some point but they'll never be able to sound as good. I have a record player, an old Kenwood amp and a few hundred vinyl records still, so will occasionally annoy the neighbours with the superior sound 😁

One of the first albums I bought. Got it from my mum’s mail order catalogue when I was 15. I remember vinyl records, those were the days, warped if you weren’t careful, lovely analogue sound, bloody digital “streaming”, mumble, mutter, mumble....

Good to know! Do we know what their TV schedule looks like yet?

Scotland's finest. Here a song from their underrated third album. They also have the best b-sides of any band I have ever encountered 🙂

Excellent acoustic cover of Queens of the stone age-No One Knows

I do have a soft spot for VU, the banana album and the last one, Loaded (which was pretty much all Lou Reed) get listens once in a while. Teenage me saw them play in the early 90s when they reformed briefly, tripping my arse off, of course 😁

Happy 80s Pop Friday everyone 😎😅

Had to chuck on the Friday tunes today! Jungle - Fred Again..

One more Ska cover by a German Ska band. Damn they sound good!

Oasis Ska cover.

Nirvana Ska cover.

“Oi,Oi!! Photo!!” 😂😂😂😂

I'm normally not into stuff like this at all but when I'm in the wife's car it's mostly the type of stuff she plays but Im coming round to these guys especially the videos.

@phil bottle This is one of my Fave King Tubbys dubs. 👌

That's great news Phil. I do wonder how long the guarantee is because what happens if you start getting stick drift over time? Any chance they'll sort that for you? Are there settings in each game that recognise you're on a steam deck and then it reassigns the buttons accordingly? Would love to play this on holidays, especially with the survival games like Valheim and even perhaps 7 Days. Two Point Hospital would be a given on this system - just have to weigh up the game choices as it looks and sounds like the switch so far in terms of what i would use it for.

@Spacedeck you reminded me of one of my all time favourite songs. I've picked the 1957 version here instead of 1927 as the sound quality is better but i do love the original.

Yeah he is superb, a friend from work showed me him some years ago. He never seems to disappoint. The variety is great as well. Dude is a badass.

They have quite a decent sound, a nice chuggy Riff. Guys voice is more melodic than I expected. Solo started getting good when the tremelo picking began. The bridge Riff is pretty tasty as well. 👍

Sure so long as it doesn't impact on the rest of the production. Otherwise games might start being produced to a lesser standard to be compatible with the Steam Deck.
