Still one of the greatest punk songs of all time, I only just now discovered there's a VIDEO for Dieter Meier's "Cry for Fame". The 1978 single sees the Swiss conceptual artist (and later frontman of the avant pop group Yello) maniacally shouting through a frenetic blitz of distorted guitars, anchored by a rhythm section that sounds like the bottom's already collapsed from underneath. Most folks first came to know this obscure song via the "Killed by Death" punk bootleg series in the 90s, but my old pal Martha (former DJ from WHRB, WPRB, and WFMU) was wise to it years earlier, and routinely sang its praises on the airwaves. I owe her a tremendous debt for dragging it across my radar.

The B-Side is also a scorcher. Why on Earth hasn't anyone re-issued this?

Slab65 my first keyboard project has been making a lot of progress behind the scenes and will be set to launch in 2025. Here’s something I put together in Blender showing off some of the new details added recently.

I'm a big fan of songs that mention other bands, with "She's in Love with the Rolling Stones" by the Telefones being an easy fave. I just got a random jones to hear it and found this great live clip from some dingy Dallas club in '82. Mega bonus points for the crowd shots, featuring a bunch of pencil-mustached nerds with bowl cuts and Oxford shirts dancing maniacally as the band tears it up. Also, I never realized that was a trumpet -- the studio version had me thinking it was a sax. No wonder I got kicked out of marching band. https://youtu.be/MXKAOTENpKw?si=K_CB4zyJ1vwqki5F

@feld i ended up as maintainer of #kbd in #nixos, because i was the last person who touched it. i don't even know what it does exactly. something related to keyboard layouts

for the update our bot (r-ryantm) created a pull request

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/273718

someone let the integration tests run by another bot (ofborg)

and since they passed, merged the pr (into staging, because the change rebuild many packages)

i was not needed, which is good because i already have burnout

so efficient is nix!
