  1. Oddly I think a SCOTUS vacancy opening up would probably help Trump, to an extent that it's not impossible the GOP would conveniently 'fail' to confirm a nominee. With a Justice on the line the pitch to conservative Christians becomes - hold your nose, vote for me, and Roe v Wade gets overturned. My evidence is that that was the pitch in 2016 too: https://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/19/trump-ill-appoint-supreme-court-justices-to-overturn-roe-v-wade-abortion-case.html .

    Dave Greenwood one day, Florian Schneider the next.   Two absolute music giants to me.  What a shite week.   Goddamn I loved Kraftwerk and The Stranglers.

    I had a Kraftwerk LP I ‘obtained’ from the radio station I worked at, transferred to cassette (Yh we talkin 1984).  Album destroyed in a flood, cassette missing/long gone.  I can not find a copy of this album at all - like it never existed.  Was early days when just Ralf + Florian.  Prolly never figure the mystery out.

     

    RIP.  

     

    The band's three pre-Autobahn albums have never been issued on CD and go pretty much unacknowledged. They aren't much like the A-material - apparently the second one doesn't have any synths on.

  3. He's had enough of being PM, it's boring and he can't fuck around any more. So he's faking his own death. "The funeral will be closed-casket with no cameras and take place on Cayo Espanto."

    The only one other than Wouk who I think has main list potential ast some point in the future is Alice Walker.  Not sure the other even if they reach extreme old age.

    Is he actually asleep?

     

    I hope everyone brings pillows to his funeral when it happens and has a good nap. Fucking disrespectful cunt.

     

    I'd be quite happy with someone bringing a pillow to the White House now and causing his funeral.

    I assume they meant he was the last leader of the cold war, who has died. 

     

    Jimmy Carter will be the last leader of the cold war to die.

     

    Although it wouldn't suprise me if the BBC fucked this up.

     

    Surely there's a decent chance Gorby will outlive him.


  7. I'm very glad to see his passing being marked (there was an article on Variety too). Him and many others like him may not be household names but very influential through their work and deserve the notice.
