Ah ok, thanks.

I use Plex - but almost exclusively for music streaming through PlexAmp, very little in the way of TV/movies.

What’s so bad about it? It works well for me, but if Jellyfin is much better I might investigate.

Chill Out by the KLF. Always soothes me.

Lots of great choices here - I’ll throw in Moon Over Marin by Dead Kennedys.

Sounds like a bop, but is actually about the destruction of the environment.

Yeah, you’re quite right, not sure why I thought it was later on.

Is it as early as that? I could have sworn it was at least 3 or 4 episodes in. Been a while since I watched it though… [tingles with anticipation] 😁

's all in the game, yo.

The Wire. Don’t want to spoil it by saying which one, but a key character turns out to be a lesbian.

I hate the notion that The Wire counts as an old show! 😁

Drink more.

Never actually made, as far as I know, but mine would be whatever it was David Lynch was doing for Netflix, under the name Wisteria (or possibly Unrecorded Night, it seems to have gone by both names at various points). Cancelled due to the pandemic and never really explained as far as I know.

Hell, I’d just like to know what it was going to be - something Twin Peaks related? Something completely new? The further adventures of Jack the killer monkey?

EDIT - apparently his daughter Jennifer has said they’re considering releasing the script. That was June 2025, so hope springs!

My knowledge of Asian authors is pretty limited, but I’ll go for Haruki Murakami.

I’d recommend pretty much anything of his. The Wind Up Bird Chronicle is one of my favourites though.

Never smoked (although I probably got a fair bit second hand from my dad, back in the day)

Don’t do crazy drinking, but do enjoy a cold pint or two now and then, and maybe a few more if I’m out at a gig or something. And in the summer I’ll often have some bottles chilling in the fridge.

Also enjoy an occasional whisky - single malt, nice and smoky, preferably.

Don’t usually have other spirits, maybe vodka or rum in a cocktail, but pretty rarely tbh.

Earlier that day…

Kbal: I don’t care for GOB.

FWIW, I really enjoyed both of them. The first is better, but the second is worth a watch IMO.

It’s the scene when he’s sitting pondering on Dan Ackroyd’s character’s evening with the virgin Connie Swail. The physical acting with the cocktail stick is hilarious 😁

Didn’t we have this discussion just a few weeks ago?

My answer remains Tom Hanks. With the exception of one scene in Dragnet.

Obviously all the usual stuff like solving hunger, curing disease, ending inequality, fixing climate crisis, etc.

But if we’re talking about something just for me… DJing.

Having the time and space to practice mixing vinyl, plus the resources to buy all the records, and better quality equipment.

Having the freedom to do it as a hobby without the pressure of it ever being a job.

Also, I’d buy my football ⚽ team, and run them the way I think they should be run.

“I’m a coffee achiever, Sam!”

“Suffer like G did?”
