@devilgate Even though I typically enjoy Massive Attack, not close enough to them to have thought about it .. but close enough to Cocteau to require a listen .. I knew the album, knew this song and still 🤯 Good uncovering .. she’s even credited as one of 4 writers.

Sorry about the duplicate post - been futzing and forgot that I had switched on RSS and JSON from Crucial. Normal service should be resumed.

BTW - have you tried Crucial? Neat - and a nice companion to Albumwhale

This particular one is - of course - very broken. BUT we are getting there.

@manton Putting aside layoffs because AI … as others in the thread commented .. convenient excuse … but i am not convinced that their anti bot stances are at odds with using AI inside their business.

@mattypenny yes, dogs and why are my first three answers and sorry, the greatest hits of any band is not their ‘best’ album … yours, lovingly … ‘an album guy’.

Replying to: @mattypenny

@mattypenny same album it turns out .. it didn’t ring a bell, so had to look it up .. and agree .. I mean the whole album is marvellous .. and to all come out of Brixton albeit with the Scottish and Welsh foundations … 🤯

@JohnPhilpin same deal with SourceFeed it seems. New issue - or a rule change somewhere?

As I wrote in the 🖇️ post … ‘relegated’ - not ‘delegated’ is an interesting choice of words - and a particular case of a more general problem - to whit …

The ‘X’ in the CXO title often seems to stand for ‘stuff we don’t do, don’t understand and would rather someone else handle. (Yes - slight tongue in cheek) and ‘people’ are hard - but so is ‘information’ and ‘technology’ - both of which line management often assume is someone else’s job - and once you start down that slippery slope - the final step is abdication.
