You're welcome, Rho. I love the psychedelic thing.
kondor, I'm loving the Viv Savage "heavy duty" avatar. TIST is my favorite movie of all time.

Re: NOX: Adipositas (586) Release News
Exploring the live system on a rainy day. Impressive as always. I'm getting strange color glitches on the terminal characters in the framebuffer session. Don't know if its my equipment (crappy HP chromebook) or what.

Re: Electronic sounds thread
Fifty Foot Hose were a San Francisco band of the 1960s who fused jazz, psychedelic rock, and experimental electronic music. The electronic element was provided by custom-made theremin-like instruments. It's definitely dated, but still a nice sample of what 'electronic music' was like just on the cus...

Zines! I remember those. I made a few cut-and-paste (like with actual paper and real sticky paste) dadaist-psychedelic collage photocopy flyers back in those days. Cool. I'm newly registered myself, but I'll say welcome anyway. (I remember dumpster-diving for food and stuff, too. But I can't say tha...

Re: Pop
if we're talking about 80s pop hits, we must have this one
(it was a huge deal in the US at least)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh5J33KAaqw
not a big hit -- not so much pop, either (more like punk) --
but one of the best by the same group:

No herbal excursion is complete without some classic GBV (Guided by Voices).
Their best album is _Bee Thousand_ (1994). Fire it up.

Re: Favorite album
Love's _Forever Changes_ is an all-time favorite, as mentioned in the elder brother thread.
Current favorite is Van Morrison's _Astral Weeks_ (1968). The title track is especially sublime:

No love for Jason?
Melancholy, morbid, moody funny animals fighting zombies, going into a time machine to kill Hitler, having coffee with Death. It's the best.

Re: Documentaries
Errol Morris' _Gates of Heaven_ (1978). About the pet cemetary business. As funny and strange as it sounds. Bonus: disco-era California fashions and affects. Absolute gold.
