its a mishmash of the 'kill hitler' theme, i think i was thinking of this in particular but the 'somebody else' part was from some other thing i cant remember. maybe a little man in the high castle (book)? i thought there was another time travel hitler story in particular that was in

Moog announced last week that it is bringing back one of its iconic synthesizers — the IIIp — for a limited reissue for $35,000. The company says only 40 units will be handcrafted, and each one will feature the original’s documentation, art, and circuit board files. In total, each IIIp will have 37 modules including ten 901-Series audio oscillators, the 984 4-channel Matrix Mixer, and the 905 Spring Reverb.

Easy wear, video is probably fine. I use it primarily for text but I blow the browser zoom way up so it's a lot of scrolling.

You have a cord attached to your head and the resolution is low, but it's definitely better than no screen.

it is a long rear end movie, go easy on the coke if you get one. no stinger in the credits so you can leave directly once the roll begins.

good though, rewatch the first if you haven't in a while.

more generally i think that subgenre of music was called acid jazz (basically, sampling beats from old blue note jazz records instead of old james brown lps)

Mr. Scruff began selling tea from a small room at the Manchester club, the Music Box, where he was resident DJ in around 2000, with the proceeds going to charity. When he started touring, Scruff took the enterprise with him and gained a reputation for being the DJ with the teashop. When appearing at festivals, such as Big Chill and WOMAD, tea stalls or tents were erected, and were open for the duration of the festivals. Scruff subsequently started an online tea company, Make Us a Brew, and produced his own range of fair trade teabags which used to be sold in department store chains Selfridges, Waitrose and Booths.[11] His official website still sells the branded tea-related paraphernalia including teapots, mugs and tea-towels, but the tea is no longer sold as the Make Us a Brew company was dissolved in September 2013.[12]

Bunch of tracks from this are in the rotation on SomaFM Secret Agent, which I have playing in the kitchen p. much 24/7

https://somafm.com/secretagent/songhistory.html

Got an old Kindle Fire with the Soma app and a set of decent bluetooth monitor speakers, a good setup.

I waver between BigBeat and TripHop as my fave moribund genre, depending on if I want peppy or chilled; either work fine for the Cyberpunk thread imo.
