    Re: What are you listening to?

    This catchy pop tune is damn dark...any catchy!

    Grimes - Oblivion



    Another walk about, after dark
    It's my point of view
    If someone could break your neck
    Coming up behind you always coming and you'd never have a clue

    And now I'm left behind, all the time
    I will wait forever, always looking straight
    Thinking, counting, all the hours you wait

    See you on a dark night
    See you on a dark night
    See you on a dark night
    See you on a dark night

    And now another clue, I would ask
    If you could help me out
    It's hard to understand
    Cause when you're really by yourself
    It's hard to find someone to hold your hand

    And now it's gonna be, tough on me
    But I will wait forever
    I need someone now to look into my eyes and tell me
    Girl you know you gotta watch your health

    To look into my eyes and tell me
    La la la la la
    To look into my eyes and tell me
    La la la la la
    La la la la la
    La la la la la

    I see you on a dark night
    I see you on a dark night
    I see you on a dark night
    I see you on a dark night
    I see you on a dark night
    I see you on a dark night
    I see you on a dark night
    I see you on a dark night
    I see you on a dark night
    I see you on a dark night
    I see you on a dark night

    Best quote in the comments:

    You know what's great about watching concerts from 2006? There isn't a sea of assholes recording it on their smartphones.

    The Pogues were the best. Cait O'Riordan...sexiest voice ever?

    The Pogues - I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day



    Oh my name is Jock Stewart I'm a canny gun man
    And a roving young fellow I've been
    So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
    I'm a man you don't meet every day

    I have acres of land I have men at command
    I have always a shilling to spare
    So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
    I'm a man you don't meet every day

    Well I took out my dog and him I did shoot
    All down in the county Kildare
    So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
    I'm a man you don't meet every day

    So come fill up you glasses of brandy and wine
    Whatever it costs, I will pay
    So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
    I'm a man you don't meet every day

    Re: What are you listening to?

    Not a song, but an AudioBook i've been listening to (also available as an actual book )



    Remember those Iridium cell phones? Gotta say i'm really impressed by this book, more than i thought i would be. Not boring at all - contains loads of declassified information and various other facts and events that are definitely not common knowledge, for example, did you know after NASA was founded, the gov't had to take steps to prevent AT&T from dominating the satellite industry? A highly recommended read

    The incredible story of Iridium - the most complex satellite system ever built, the cell phone of the future, and one of the largest corporate bankruptcies in American history - and one man's desperate race to save it.

    In the early 1990s, Motorola, the legendary American technology company, developed a revolutionary satellite system called Iridium that promised to be its crowning achievement. Light-years ahead of anything previously put into space, and built on technology developed for Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars", Iridium's constellation of 66 satellites in polar orbit meant that no matter where you were on Earth, at least one satellite was always overhead, and you could call Tibet from Fiji without a delay and without your call ever touching a wire.

    Iridium the satellite system was a mind-boggling technical accomplishment, surely the future of communication. The only problem was that Iridium the company was a commercial disaster. Only months after launching service, it was $11 billion in debt, burning through $100 million a month, and crippled by baroque rate plans and agreements that forced calls through Moscow; Beijing; Fucino, Italy; and elsewhere. Bankruptcy was inevitable - the largest to that point in American history. And when no real buyers seemed to materialize, it looked like Iridium would go down as just a "science experiment".

    That is, until Dan Colussy got a wild idea. Colussy, a former head of Pan Am now retired and working on his golf game in Palm Beach, heard about Motorola's plans to "de-orbit" the system and decided he would buy Iridium and somehow turn around one of the biggest blunders in the history of business.

    In Eccentric Orbits, John Bloom masterfully traces the conception, development, and launching of Iridium and Colussy's tireless efforts to stop it from being destroyed, from meetings with his motley investor group to the Clinton White House, the Pentagon, and the hunt for customers in special ops, shipping, aviation, mining, search and rescue - anyone who would need a durable phone at the end of the Earth. Impeccably researched and wonderfully told, Eccentric Orbits is a rollicking, unforgettable tale of technological achievement, business failure, the military-industrial complex, and one of the greatest deals of all time.
