Hey all, so there is lurking in ILX somewhere a reference and YT link to a TV play originating from perhaps Poland or Germany, I'm guessing late 70s/Early 80s.
It was a futuristic society story, 1984/Brave New World kinda thing, very minimal low-budget stage set, lotsa perspex and chrome iirc and I'm fairly certain it had a one-word title.

I seem to remember sometime in the past year, someone posted (probably on ILM) about a website that archived liner notes, LP and CD booklet scans, etc. Anyone know the site? (I've already found albumlinernotes.com, not sure if there are any other such sites.)

I once caught an episode of German pop show Formel Eins. There was a ridiculously OTT new romantic group debuting their single, a protest song against the cold war. I remember there was a background with a cowboy and a cossack playing chess - not sure whether this was a music video or just how Formel Eins chose to illustrate the performance - and I strongly remember the line "why did the Russians invade Afghanistan?", for its literalness and out of placeness in a synth pop bop.
This was decades ago (at which point ofc it was already a decades old rerun) and I may have exaggerated some or all aspects in my mind since.

seems ridiculous that you can have an isbn number but all that comes back in searches is 100 pages selling the same "ed mcbain omnibus" with the same "cover coming soon" and no information about what's in it. i swear the internet used to be more helpful.

The name of a book published around 1912 that contained offensive (for the time) songs and poems. I think the title started with an I. And it was available on Google Books.

I just saw them on Letterman. They did "The Laws Have Changed," which was exactly what I wanted to hear, and the most obvious song to play. Neko looked really pretty, more beautiful than I remember her being from the two times that I've seen the band perform.Carl looks more like Howdy Doody with each passing day.― Matthew Perpetua (Matthew Perpetua), Tuesday, June 17, 2003 8:56 PM (twenty years ago)

Andy Partridge once wrote a mini-essay (or post?) about songwriting in which he used an extended metaphor about going around a racetrack built by his forebears (the Beatles, the Move, the Kinks, etc.) This may have been a myspace post? Or maybe that's just where I originally saw it, in my memory. It's not in the Complicated Game book and I can't seem to find it on Chalkhills (it wasn't really "news" or "press").
