In 1986, Eclipse comics ran these ads on their back covers to shame Marvel returning Kirby's Silver Age art to him. He eventually got some back, but a ton was apparently lost or stolen.

TIN MACHINE
Tin Machine
1989 Canada pressing

I love both Tin Machine albums, but it has less to do with Bowie than it does with Reeves Gabrels. His guitar playing on both is otherworldly.

This album is better than the second on whole, but still not looked upon favourably by Bowie disciples and I don’t know why.

It is a killer metallic slice of art-rock. A pre-cursor (along with Pixies) for what would happen throughout the next decade.

: Hello, I am here! I was on for quite a few years but it was a very small community. Mastodon seems larger and more dynamic.

I'm mainly here to chat about games. I have been playing since the , starting with Moldvay and Keep on the Borderlands. These days I am mostly playing , but also enjoy Call of , Traveller and games.

Besides , I like British comics, especially and its spin-offs. And .

Back in the mid-to-late 1980s, the Commodore Amiga was, generally speaking, superior to Apple systems and PC-compatibles, which were often mocked by Amiga owners. 😉

The drama — which features a fish-out-of-water protagonist and satirizes social issues — is the most divisive Japanese TV show of the year so far. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2024/04/05/tv-streaming/extremely-inappropriate-series/

Howdy, partner! This week's has us checking out some Wild West-themed comics. Mike came across an issue of the Justice League tangling with DC's Weird West heroes and Jessika rode into town with Billy the Kid's Old Timey Oddies!

And then an old friend from my college radio days who I told about the youngun who didn't know from Frank immediately responded with this song, so now it's on my mental soundtrack as well. TBH I think it's a safe bet the youngun wouldn't know from Steely Dan either. Or maybe even Aretha. Ah well, time flies when you're having. ("Typo" intended.)

The program "Extremely Inappropriate" uses a time-traveling protagonist to pit attitudes from the 1980s against those from the 2020s. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2024/03/29/tv-streaming/extremely-inappropriate-tv-netflix-japan-politically-correct/

Spent time organizing and renaming my collection of over 200 Amiga game and demo chiptune music module files, in several mod file formats.

You can download the files here:

If you're using Windows, I recommend the BZR Player, capable of handling all of the file formats:

Enjoy! 😊

Growing up in the 80's, when you would stay at home sick from school, you would get a little lesson on the history of television by watching the re-runs. Here are a few of the things I learned.

1980 was a great year for releasing a punk rock long player

16 releases, all of which have cult status

Do you have a favorite or is your favorite LP missing?

Researching for a blog post and ran across my favorite game ever, Centipede, archived fully 10 years ago at the Internet Archive. Via the 'Internet Arcade'. Love it. And it loads up in MAME. Rad.

When young generations wonders how did we manage to have so many cassettes tapes at that time. xD

That's so true... As I posted time ago, records stores were the best spot for the meetings during late 1980's and the 1990's. So bad there are few stores where I live now...
