"Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence".

Notably also, it was the return of #SimonGallup and the coming of #BorisWilliams, a solid drum and bass backline that would last for a decade.

An unexpected break in events, but the show must go on:. "Helmeted troops have ceased the HQ of the free #Solidarity union, [a state of emergency has been declared]. We now rejoin #SaturdayNightLive ".

Artefact of the day:. #Ultramarine "United Kingdoms" was the album that made me buy my first ever CD player: SONY CFD-12. I had just got my student grant for fall '93 and the CD showed up in my local record store, put together it was an easy decision 😎.

Feat of the day:. Managing to get a nano SIM card out of an older phone without tray loading ✊. It is so small, and almost impossible to get hold of to be able to pull it out without damaging it.

In the 80's Microsoft and Apple went hand in hand, it is weird how the narrative in the present day makes them out as opposing forces 🤔. To take an example, Microsoft Excel was first introduced on the Apple Macintosh computer in 1985.

For the Young Aspiring Physicist, there are many problems waiting to be resolved ♾.

A big year for Ange, he will also celebrate 60 come August 27 🦘.

What a summer anthem '85 that was !. "It was dark as I drove the point home.And on cold leather seats.well, it suddenly struck me.I just might die with a smile on my.face after all". #Morrissey #TheSmiths

On my way home, close to my building, there is car with all 4 lights blinking. So thinking there's some kind of emergency, I went over to ask what's the problem. Turns out this guy is waiting for his wife in a launderette, afraid to get a ticket. A record by 10cc comes to mind 😒

And black vinyl were often remelted and reused back then. House classic records released by Trax in the mid-80's were released on the cheapest material possible, almost as if asphalt were thrown into the vinyl melter to keep the cost down 🙃.
