VLC always does the trick.

You know this isn't social media, right?
You don't post "hey I did this today! Thanks bye". In Facebook it says "What's on your mind?" encouraging meaningless self centered posts. Myspace, the groundbreaking hallmark of social media before Facebook and others would have a main page that says "What are you doing right now?" which is an active invitation to just post out in the open what you're up to when you see the site.
DO NOT confuse fan forums for social media sites. There is no need to come here and just say "hey guys I'm scratching my ass today". You need to provide something meaningful that is open for discussion.

Anyway to contribute, I did this too recently.

See this:


It's a point and click, it brings up a couple of things.
There's nothing unique or special in it though.

It’s PSB related Sage. Who died and put you in charge? Don’t like it? Don’t read it AND THEN FECKIN’ CONTRIBUTE!!! Jesus wept!!!

Wow! Why type a whole novel ??
Don't worry I also got the special Sage treatment recently too. Emphasis on 'special'
BTW I saw a bird fly past my window earlier. Just wanted to share

I call that Sage has learnt his lesson as Science Guy and I claim my prize!

To continue the social media theme the highlight of my day is that I ate some chocolate earlier, it was whole nut. Which isn't a comment on previous posters... But what's your favourite chocolate?

Moderator Note: Sage taking a 7-day trip to the It's A Sin Bin for repeated, incessant anti-social passive aggressive posts despite prior warnings.

Sheesh, Quicktime, which was ironically titled if ever an application was, brings me back. I can almost hear the dial-up as I type...

Oh, sorry, just listening to the intro to E-mail.

I was so hyped back in the day with those CDR singles. It was like living in the future Lol

Oh, so that's the punishment. Good to know

That noise really dates the track. It hasn't aged well. Funny because even tracks on Please are pretty timeless.

What other PSB tracks do we deem poorer through the ages by dint of their lyrical/musical content? On Social Media is just about still on point but I bet in 5 to 10 years it'll have aged badly...

While we're on this nostalgic topic, my copy of the Before CD-Rom does not include the video (or will not play it.)
Have any of you experienced this?
