Laurie Anderson - Big Science @vinylrecords

Another nostalgia buy from the bins this week

@joejoetom@mastodon.cloud avatar

@icastico @vinylrecords I bought that on cassette from a bargain bin in a comic book shop ages ago; I think it was only $1!

@icastico @vinylrecords I had to look up, had never heard of them before. The first article I read began “They could neither play instruments ...” I picked an album at random (Garista) ... holy heck, I was in a band ages ago () and we were definitely kindred spirits!

What the heck was a band like ZF doing in a gas station, anyway? lol

@icastico @vinylrecords Listened to Gesture Signal Threat last night: good stuff!

When you found the cassette at the gas station, had you heard ZF before, or just bought it out of curiosity?

Looks like Sydney Trains is going to drop the jargon from its PA announcements.

From the SMH:

"Commuters will soon be told to “get off” the train, rather than “alight”, after Sydney Trains resolved to overhaul its station announcements to favour colloquial language.

"The phrase “this train terminates here” is also being retired, due to concerns the word “terminates” is difficult to understand."

@rusl @ajsadauskas @sydneytrains You think that's bad? I was in an airport where they made passengers "deplane" to take care of a mechanical issue. When it was time to have the passengers get back on, the gate agent made an announcement asking them to "re-deplane". 😒

@GayOldTime Is it just me, or is that salt and pepper shaker holder just a wee bit phallic?

How I feel when I see an American TV broadcast with ads for the first time in a long while:

joejoetom,
@joejoetom@mastodon.cloud avatar

@FlockOfCats @takosix @alanb The ads on Japanese YouTube seemed different than the ads on Japanese TV ... the YT ones seemed like they were made by Westerners trying to make what they think a Japanese ad is like (or, the ads seemed like American ads, only with Japanese actors).

That Lionheart album from Kate Bush is on of my favourite albums. Ever. It had a huge impact on me when it was released in 1978. Still does. 🥰

Went to the internet cafe. There were no reclining seat booths available so they offered me a massage chair booth instead. I thought it would just vibrate a little.

Holy total F. Neck, back, forearms, hips, butt, legs, soles of my feet, all manipulated and kneaded and manhandled.

I feel like I've been ravished by a robot lover. 😍 🤖 💕 👍

@GayOldTime When I worked in retail (a very long time ago), we had an electronic signmaking machine. Whenever Viva paper towels went on sale, the price was always 69 cents. I would make a sign like the one below on bright pink card stock. As far as I know, nobody ever caught on to what I was doing, least of all the homophobic boss!

@Jyoti I first saw this on (probably) . On the same show they aired part of ’ One Man Show, and ever since then, Jone and Anderson have been associated in my mind. Shame they never collaborated!

@GayOldTime Okay, I have a silly question. Why was it important to have a recessed filter / keep it away from one’s lips? I don’t think I’ve ever seen cigarettes like that.

Janis discovers she prefers stroking a kitty to dating Harold

joejoetom,
@joejoetom@mastodon.cloud avatar

@GayOldTime Okay, being a classic comics fan, I had to look it up to see what /actually/ happens. Janis is a nurse who falls in love with a terminally ill patient and eventually dumps Harold to spend what time she can with her new beau. 💞

A subway line in Tokyo now lets you enter with a credit card tap. What does this mean for the future of Japan's IC transit cards?

Why'd they have to go and make everything so complicated? A short history of how Shinjuku and Shibuya in Tokyo developed their bad reputations as Japan's most confusing train stations.

@unseenjapan I have never gotten so lost and confused in a Japanese train station as I did in . I joke to friends that the next time I’m in Tokyo, I’m going to “conquer” Shinjuku by learning every entrance, every exit, every platform!

1/2 Wow, what an experience. I contacted JTB about tickets to . All the email correspondence went pretty smoothly. However, when it came time to talk on the phone, egads. She had me on speaker phone and there was a ton of noise in the background and I spent half the call asking her to repeat herself. Strangest of all, she asked for the credit card exp date and security code, then said thank you and was about to hang up! I said, “Wouldn't you like my credit card number?" "Hmm? Oh ... yes.”
