Ventra app is glitching this morning so youtu.be/rTEtdgdfXAo?... on Metra!
@1089thehawk.com That was a fun episode. Chicago classic rock stations have always played the live version of "Lights Out" for obvious reasons. I just checked their playlist, and 97.1 The Drive played it earlier today! "Lights Out" at 10am on a Monday? Sure why not.
Peek into an alternate timeline where Aerosmith held back the release of PUMP until 1994, under the title FEVER: bsky.app/search?q=Aer...
Wait, they did release PUMP in 1989 but with a track list that only had one hit, "What It Takes": bsky.app/search?q=Aer...

I had no idea when I posted this Larry Santos had just died a few days before neptunesociety.com/obituaries/t...
What are some examples of a cover where the artist performed it in a style of a completely different artist? Yo La Tengo playing "Little Honda" like they're the Jesus and Mary Chain. or Urge Overkill covering Neil Diamond in the style of Larry Santos. What else?
I also knew Larry's music from Hot Fudge, a local Detroit kids show that also aired in Chicago (and I'm sure other cities). He was like hipster Captain Kangaroo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkYk...
And then there's the thing that led me down this rabbit hole: When I watched Detroiters, I had no idea the Deveraux Wigs ad was based on a real local Detroit TV commercial. And guess who sang it! (the male part I mean) www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3XT...

Neil Diamond gets credit for writing Urge Overkill's biggest hit, but that performance owed at least as much to Santos, particularly his version of "Long, Long Time." Larry posted a video for it to his own YouTube channel and it's as melodramatic as you'd hope. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHRM...

I'm finding very little in the way of tributes to him, but if you watched American TV in the early 1980s, you heard Larry Santos www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBPB...

a lot of folks are asking how someone can do something so "stupid" as hard coding a secret token, and i'm telling you that you are holding software developers and companies on way too high a pedestal if you still think there's secure, quality code being sent out into the world
HaJ3FgupAm8RrDJW3MHgT9X7Ft27eVaD What is that? That's a hard-coded API token that Flock cameras use to identify themselves and get OAuth credentials, which can then be used to talk to Flock's production servers. Like, anyone on the internet can probably do this right now.

genius.com/America-sand... This is the first song about 9/11 The Genius annotation says "the beginning does not seem to connect to the rest of the song" It does if the song is about 9/11, which it is It took 30 years for the world to catch up
@1089thehawk.com I keep getting news alerts that are just excerpts from Wisp's memoir

Apple caved but "nobody" inside supported it? Really? Did dveryone up and down the chain refuse to make the change, forcing Tim Apple to log in and do it himself? MapQuest is holding strong: www.mapquest.com/us/lake-onta...
Meanwhile over at MapQuest it's Lake Ontario as always

The super amazing @magicbeans.bsky.social turned me on to this song ten years ago, and I still go back and re-listen to it every few months in a never-ending quest to determine whether or not the bass part is more deranged than the guitar part. Proceed with caution, but do proceed.
