waiting for you to direct people to the points you've already stated
(drum roll, cymbal crash)I can pretty much sum them up with the two words: about time

I mistook Bob for Rob. lol
Quite different folks although Bob has an association with a company which goes under the name DRMNZ

That's what DRM does
I just checked and only 13 of my 207 purchases are currently upgradable (and not the Carl Craig Sessions on K7 which I've used up my CD burn total on).

The 70s would have been very different if The Stooges hadn't been recording their proto punk back in 1969
Back about 78 I was at a Rock'n'Roll Records auction in Queen Street (they were, along with Record Exchange, the collectors heaven of the time) bidding on a copy of The Stooges. It was sought after and very hard to find as it was long deleted, and was getting up there price wise. Eventually there were only two of us, myself and Graham Brazier. He then, quickly, doubled my bid and shot me out of the water. I asked him why he'd made that jump and he replied 'Ron Asheton'.
Am I the only person who's more shocked that anyone in the Stooges actually lived to 60? :)
Not really, the hell raising years were fairly few for Ron and much of that was down to the Ig.
Brian Wilson surprises me more.

"Best. Prego. Ever."
Straight from the airport to Prego after 48 hours of Malaysian Airlines hell on Friday (it was a fairly large birthday party)
Sometimes I love being an Auckland-centric pinot gris quaffing jafa

Most people who use 'Americanisms' (whatever they are) do so deliberately. It's not like the borg took over our brains and forced us to exclaim 'dude!' at regular intervals.
Or, Gordon Bennett, forced people of my generation to borrow phraseology wholesale from the likes of Minder..

I'm sure there's plenty of truth in such testimonials too, PCs are a pain in the ... date ... to deal with
[writing this on a MacBook]. You see, a big part of that is just MacLore and really isn't true. I've had Vista running on three boxes for 18 months without any problem. The networking was easy, they never crash and are happily virus free. And there some things PCs do much better like simple navigation.
On the other hand, on a personal level, I never use a PC unless I need to go to the various sites that will only run under IE..or to game. Most games run rather better on a Microsoft platform than the Mac equivalent.

I came back from London for the summer of 88-89 with a cassette of freshly bangin' house tunes.
I came back from London in late 85 to find that certain friends of mine were running nightclubs off the cassettes I'd been sending for three years.
