How are you setting up new accounts? I just tried to create a new one using a VPN but can't because it asks for my phone number for verification which has already been used.

That's brilliant.

Lubricating the O ring that sits inside the watch case of vintage divers watches to keep them waterproof.

Probably Twin Peaks. I think series 3 has now surpassed the prior classic series for me, which is something I wouldn't have thought possible.

Yep, that's the one I used. Fantastic site.

There's a site that gives you an album a day to listen to and review from the book '1000 albums to listen to before you die'. One day I got an Abba album and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had a surprisingly dense, dream-like production to it. I expected simplistic pop but was surprised by how well structured and layered it was.

 

I'm a long time fan but I still can't get my head around the fact this was recorded between 1976 and 1978. Sounds like 2000s drum & bass in parts. Other songs from this album also surprise such as 'Horizontal Hold' which starts off like a doom metal version of Einstuerzende Neubauten, moves to a minimalist dub section, then a bit that reminds me of Japanese post-punk band P-Model, then a Captain Beefheart-esque guitar part, and so on. 'Twilight Furniture' may be my favourite track though. It has a hypnotic, tribal quality to it with cold, disjointed vocals. Like a really stripped back abstract Bauhaus.
