100%. Listen to Atomic, Heart of Glass, Hanging on the Telephone et al and they could switch genres effortlessly and still always sound like Blondie, but Rapture remains an absolute duffer.

Tommy Johnson? Just run it off you soft get.

I was thinking Rapture probably more responsible for mainstreaming hip hop. Notwithstanding the fact that it's utterly abysmal.

Whether or not you like Beckham, this is a beautiful bit of writing on the subject.

SL2. Now you're talking.

The Clique hang out with The Elders and the Pre-Madonnas in the Irish Bar just off the main square listening to Varicose Bingo.

Of that lot, Forss, but some rewriting of history that Rogers v Exeter isn't in there.

AI is very good at determining that out of the 92 possible syntactical versions of a line of Python code that ought to run without chucking an error, which is the only one that actually will. Does that in seconds rather than me wasting half a day googling the twåt.

That like's for the Breeders. Never ever got on with Pearl Jam.

Hector, on the other hand, lethal from 12 yards.

Still think about Zaza on an almost daily basis.

Neither crappy nor cheesy. Hang your head. Well, maybe a bit cheesy.

Or Ceremony. Or She's Lost Control. Or Age of Consent. Or Isolation. Or... repeat until you stop hitting me.

Amazingly, Soulseek is still a thing and does the job. Used it recently to get digital versions of a few Blade releases I've got on vinyl but aren't anywhere near the streaming services, before you all get on your high horses. Not that I care.
