David Bowie has dominated my playlists of late.  However tonight I am listening to another departed soul, Michael Hutchence.  Being much younger when he died I was just so saddened by his passing.  Listening to Live Baby Live, the concert.  Another great Wembley concert.  A bit too light for some, too heavy for others.  What you need / Suicide Blonde / Need you tonight.   Excellent 

This could be the start of a theme for the next week.  Probably Paul Hester next, but not sure one day will be enough for them.  Maybe just live performances will do.

With the Bowie playlist, you also gotta remember Freddie Mercury.  From my heydey I would have to count Will Sinnot as an obscure name who's music I enjoy still.  Then of course you have Eva Cassidy.  How many people can cover a song and instantly own it.

With the current string of deaths I cannot help but remember Freddie singing "Another one bites the dust".

It's sad to see all those people go, especially in such short succession.

Also, which "live" is the verb and which the adjective, or are they both adjectives? My brain has trouble processing the name of the concert.

Dennis Wronka aye. I get that. As I get older listening to who wants to live forever is just so powerful.

Ian Stoffberg It is.
Queen have made quite a number of really awesome songs.

I never acknowledged your comment. Yes.  Very sad.  Wasn't an Eagles fan by any stretch, but Hell Freezes Over is just an awesome dvd, especially in DTS.

the first words in the concert are from New Sensation and just happen to be live, baby, live.  It's definitely the verb, rhymes with shiv.  However, I'd be willing to argue that the title is the adverb, rhymes with alive (ironically).
still in the playlist.  although I added some shamen and nirvana at the end.

Are any of you interest in being part of a coding sub-community of GGG+ One of the things I enjoy most about G+ and the communities that formed around Elite Dangerous has been the gathering of personalities that seem to share a lot of hobbies and interests. Many walks of life and philosophies interested in overlapping topics like music, tv, movies, humour, food, wine, etc. One of my hobbies has always been coding. The past is littered with 100's of started projects and abandoned code. Clearly, I haven't been an 'completionist' or 'achievement unlocked' kind of person in this regard. I guess in my case, I was not able to sustain that level of drive and enthusiasm for most of those pet projects. With Unity, I've found a system that allows me to express my gameplay idle thoughts as something tangible and I've started watching tutorials and putting objects on the screen and animating them. The results have been quick and rewarding and I'm starting t

Unlocking Hera Tani

Unlocking Hera Tani This is just so pointless. 4 trips for no good reason other than waste time. It's probably going to take me 4 days. I can't imagine that the same people who brought my favourite game back to life could come up with such a useless system as the various engineering unlocks and crafting system that you HAVE to do to progress meaningfully. I'm just in a miserable mood. Sorry. God knows if I'm ever going to mine the necessary 250t of whotsits...

So, in the spirit of Elite Stories, thought I'd share my perspective of last night.

So, in the spirit of Elite Stories, thought I'd share my perspective of last night. We had barely met and there we were suiting up and using our limited funds to buy guns, ammo and gear for the mission we'd been thrust into. It wasn't an honour we'd earned. Others had died, we were next. There were no reinforcements. Nobody was coming to save us. In fact, quite the opposite was true. We were going in to rescue a squad who were sheltered and taking fire. They had sustained heavy losses and couldn't hang on much longer. We headed purposefully down the streets, checking our guns and making sure we had our grenades and medpacks on standby. It was brutal, but we made it to the rendezvous, battling past waves of patrols sent to stop us. We were in trouble, but there was always a teammate to lend a hand or a hail of bullets. Somehow we made it. Learning to watch our for each other and keeping a wary eye out for signs of sniper activity. We scavenged more ammo and m
