"Dancing in the Street (2002 Remaster)" by David Bowie & Mick Jagger
**So great. Such fun.**
I mean sure - you could pop over to your music player and have a listen - but there's also the video for twice the fun.
‘ThisIsIndexed’ nails it.
I always knew that ‘soccer’ actually had English origins BUT had never heard the story of where it came from until today. (In the link - about half way down).
I have definitely posted this link to Jason Fried’s post in the past and it keeps coming to mind as I read so much about our new ‘Trillionaire’ who went public on a vision with the smallest public float in the history of IPO’s.
🔗 PRESS RELEASE: BASECAMP VALUATION TOPS $100 BILLION AFTER BOLD VC INVESTMENT - Signal v. Noise
But you should see the spreadsheet models we’re making up. Really breakthrough stuff,” said Mirage.
From Rishad … 🔗 here.
My Take?
1 - been saying that for years.
2 - we know this - BUT seeing it written in out in 2 short sentences made me sit up.
3 - see ‘2’.
4 - depending on your domain - that has been happening for over a decade. look at marketing if you want a use case.
5 - yes.
6 - which will be a major change in how humans operate in large corporations - so not holding my breath
💬 Last one for now. An Osman highlight.

"Vivaldi" by Curved Air
Another one of those cross genre mind blowing tracks that just had me hooked - and never let me go. I wonder if two cellos would ever have happened without Darryl.
🪦 Thank you Clive … safe travels … ‘keep making stars ‘.

"Phaedra (Steven Wilson 2018 Stereo Remix)" by Tangerine Dream
But these were the guys that had my heart back in the day. Noting that I try to post links as close to the original as I can - this is the exception that proves the rule - a 2028 Remix by Steven Wilson.
Bonus points for the name of the river.
👁️ Let’s see if this works. I’m looking at you Inkwell.

📺 I watched the first 1 1/2 episodes of 🔗 Cold Call a long while back and forgot all about it. This weekend as I was poking around - redesicovered and finished it. (The whole thing is only 4 episodes - so an easy piece of homework) - and my goodness - maybe they spent a little bit too much time setting it all up - but somewhere in the middle - it just turns … you might know the lead - Sally Lindsay from 🖇️The Madame Blanc Mysteries that she created, co wrote and stars in. Nice gentle little show with a 🖇️🎵 great theme song.
Cold Call is nothing like that.
★★★
📺🔗 Dublin Murders over on Acorn is a few years old now (2019) but really rather good. Going to give it ★★★ - but - no spoilers now - that last episode might be require me to come back and knock it up to 4.

"Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding (2014 Remaster)" by Elton John
IMO he never did enough instrumentals. And no - not a 'yellow' brick' 'road'.
