  • Weird Tales by Golden Smog. Kind of like country on acid but not like the Grateful Dead. Very creative.

    Between the Buttons by The Rollong Stones. Unlike other Stones albums - Jagger and Richards don’t even seem to like it anymore. But it has a sound of its own, and might be Brian Jones’ last significant effort with the Stones.

    And of course T.Rex

    If getting a Sony Bravia, check carefully that it actually has the Apps Only option. My 4yr old one doesn’t and it’s horrendously laggy, gets easily confused or locked up if you push remote buttons too fast, has to be power cycled several time per week, and takes a crazy amount of time after tirning it on before it will respond to the remote. An absolute POS. Removed all excess apps, went through the settings, turned off anything fancy, to very little improvement. Never again.

    Libre Office isn’t just a usable substitute for Word and the rest of Office. It is downright superior – it being free and open source need not even be in the equation. I tried to use Word on my partner’s laptop the other day and all I could think was “what is this crap??”.

    Beware, an NAS will have its own file formats and structure. I put all my music files and backups on a NAS, which failed. Now I can’t recover them without buying another NAS of similar model. More ore less the opposite of why I got a NAS.
