Quote from: UlrichWhat a lovely day that was.

I also had a visit (from Hippiecat), but something didn't fit. We would have better spent Easter Monday alone. In the meantime, the landlord has announced that they want to sell the house and another property. At the same time, I am forced to write a noise protocol because the neighbor's dog is constantly barking. Sequel follows... :unamused:

QuoteÜber 200 Künstler:innen, darunter Robert Smith, Pearl Jam, Greta Van Fleet und R.E.M., unterzeichnen einen offenen Brief mit Warnung vor ,,räuberischem" Einsatz von künstlicher Intelligenz in der Musik.

Die Organisation und die Unterzeichner:innen, darunter etwa Robert Smith von The Cure, Pearl Jam, Greta Van Fleet, Mac DeMarco, R.E.M., Chuck D, Q-Tip, Elvis Costello und auch Popstars wie Billie Eilish, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, fordern die Software-Entwicklung, Technologieunternehmen, Plattformen und digitale Musikdienste auf, ,,sich zu verpflichten, keine Technologien, Inhalte oder Tools zur Erzeugung von KI-Musik zu entwickeln oder einzusetzen, die die menschliche Kunstfertigkeit von Songwriter:innen und Künstler:innen untergraben oder ersetzen oder uns eine faire Vergütung für unsere Arbeit verweigern".

Thanks, at least you're talking about it. Other tarot experts disappear without a word (after finding a more lucrative source of income). Putting up with an older man, how common is that in our time?! This guy is actually too old for a "classic" stalker. Keep going...

So I took another turn with the "time machine"!  ;)

This time I "travelled" to 1993/'94, I knew a girl back then, but she moved away and I lost her out of sight, sadly.
So now I had a dream (!) about her and decided to look for her on the internet, found her fast (she has a name which is not too common) and wrote her, things went smoothly and we decided to do what we should have done 29 years ago: meet up for a coffee (in the town where she's now). I had something to do nearby. We met and it was like "everything has changed, but nothing's changed", we went for a walk to a man-made lake and chatted almost as if not time had passed. She's been through a lot (cancer, stroke), but from what I can tell she is still the same person she used to be. What a lovely day that was. We wanna make sure that we'll meet again sooner than later (not wait another 29 years)!  :heart-eyes

Almost needless to say I had some old cds with me in the car and listened to music from '92-'95. Also, a song came to my mind with the line "a woman now standing where once there was only a girl"... however, somehow she is still more like a "girl" to me.   :beaming-face

News from reliable sources / The Cure 'Paris' re-issued
Last post by dsanchez - March 30, 2024, 13:13:01
The legendary 'Paris' live album was re-issued last week:

I personally consider this to be The Cure at the peak of their career, and the mixing of this recording is incredible. My favorite live recording sound-wise perhaps

Quote from: MeltingMan on March 30, 2024, 09:33:57This week there were two accidents involving long-distance buses on German roads, which is unusual. Even in city buses, as was the case in the former GDR, it was not allowed to talk to the driver while driving. Many, if not all, buses had the Q emblem on the entry side. This meant that the driver had to be trained and demonstrate his skills. So as a passenger you were on the safe side, and that's how it should be. That was before...  :frowning:

sorry to hear, just saw the news

hope no fatalities in this new accident
