Re: Gyu Beats 'How Was it Made?' PNG vid blocked by YouTube

Unless Gyu plays loads of Radio Babylon, surely there's enough disguisement to prevent the algo matching it perfectly? The only way to be sure is to subscribe to his Patreon to see his original video (before he tried to mollify the algorithm by completely recreating the strings himself). But yes, it...

Gyu Beats 'How Was it Made?' PNG vid blocked by YouTube

Re: Gaz interview on Van der Graaf Generator website

Thanks Ross, extraordinary stuff. I had wondered about the choice of AA gigs, and the Russia connection, and now we know why. But more live AA on the cards??! Also interesting how the stories get retold over the years, some parts expanding, others parts getting compressed, always giving another way ...

Re: FSOL on Wipeout 2048?

I've noticed on Facebook you don't really have the nuanced chats there, as it would get lost in the noise. M...
