to review Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’ Hanging Rock Concert which is currently showing on Planet Australia’s ABC network. I tought about it for about ten seconds and decided it wasn’t worth the effort. A three word review will suffice I think. Fake and gay. There are more interesting topics to concentrate on. Since I get most of my news and information from a Mongolian basket weaving forum, I normally start there. Nine times out of ten it’s proven to be correct. But I’m going to veer away from that as well today.
Fake meet Gay
Summer’s unofficially here, and it’s been hot. There are wild animals walking around in plain sight. Some of the fish are still here, but the cunt ducks ate about 3/4 of them. There is now a huge imbalance in this ecosystem because the fish would have eaten a lot of the the frog eggs that were in the pond. Because the invaders came in and decimated the fish population there are thousands of tadpoles swimming about. These will soon hatch into frogs and there is nowhere for them to live. There’s only enough real estate to support the frogs that are here now. You might even say this is an analogy for what’s happening in western countries. It’s easy to figure out for yourself who the fish and tadpoles are, but more importantly who are the ducks?
Thing like this keep the vermin down
I felt like (s)trolling around facebook again this morning to see what people I used to know are doing. A lot of them have signed off, but there are still a few true believers, but it’s all dullsville today though, so nothing to report. No news is good news, I guess. I’ve been listening to some live Elvis recordings. A lot of these board tapes have surfaced recently, and some of them are really good.
The current one I’m enjoying is Elvis Live From Lake Tahoe at 3 am. This appears to have been a bootleg 2 CD set featuring live performances of both the Midnight and 3:AM concerts from Elvis’ May 1973 engagement at The Sahara Tahoe in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. The quality is excellent. A lot of these audience and/or board recordings originally didn’t sound that great, but mastering and mixing technology has improved a lot, undoubtedly with the help of AI in recent years.
Elvis the scarfinator
I fully expect that primitive recordings that preceded the invention of multi tracks and high precison microphones will again see the light of day, quite possibly as they were heard by the long dead people who originally played them and listened to them. AI is great for things like this. We’re already seeing films that were recorded at the turn of the 20th century being revived in hi res detail.
You can watch all kinds of vintage footage from the 1920’s onward now on Youtube. It’s been upscaled, and recolored and it looks almost like it was shot yesterday. It also offers a unique perspective of what it was like to live in these places prior to mass immigration from the third world and other places. I’ve never heard anyone comment that there wasn’t enough inclusion and diversity back then. It’s almost always along the lines of, “look at what we’ve lost.”
Before I sign off on today’s journal, the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has declared “it’s time to be more aggressive in pushing back on anti-vaxxers.”
During a talk titled “Celebrating 50 years of immunization progress,” Ghebreyesus said: “You know the serious challenge that’s posed by anti-vaxxers, and I think we need to strategize to really push back.”
Nope.
