19.7.2019 21:13RIP, Johnny CleggSo glad I came across this article. I’ve been trying since 96 to find out more about Fossil. They were supposed to open/tour with Kitchens of Distinction. Sadly that never happened. Such a under appreciated band. Cheers mate!

26.2.2019 21:38RIP, Talk Talk’s Mark HollisThe ol' TWTR blog comes back to life a bit (although still no new podcast episodes for the foreseeable future) to spread the word about the fantastic Los Angeles-based band, Lo Moon.

3.3.2014 16:44Comment on Show Notes for TWTR Podcast 030 – Dr. Allen Katz/Trenton Computer Festival (03.03.2014) by John MerklinThis list focuses on the modern era of electronic music as well the culture and aesthetic associated with this genre of music, which begins with krautrock, particularly Kraftwerk. Some important avant-garde and experimental classical works from the pre- and post-Kraftwerk eras are also included. Disco and funk for the most part were organic musical styles and mostly do not fit in with the definition of electronic music. Hip hop, on the other hand, shares some similar roots and stylings of electronic music, though it has its own distinctive culture and aesthetic. Criteria: - These Electronic/Dance songs are meant to be taken as a basic starting point for a greatest songs discussion. All these electronic/dance songs are crucial to know for full appreciation of the history of electronic/dance music. Songs are based on influence, popularity, and acclaim.

17.12.2013 06:25Comment on Doctor Who @ 50: The musical genius of Delia Derbyshire by terranceJust to clarify, and I've changed the post's headline to reflect this, I should have written "BBC News:" in the headline. This story is not confirmation from the BBC. It is a BBC News report and should not be considered an official confirmation. However, it does increase the credibility of the stories floating around the past couple of days.
8.10.2013 16:01Comment on BBC News: “Number” of missing early Doctor Who episodes recovered by Tandem With The RandomIn reply to <a href="https://tandemwiththerandom.com/2013/04/09/tandem-with-the-random-026-04-09-2013/#comment-812">lemasney</a>. I kind of had to considering how we came out of it and restarted what you were talking about. The funnier thing is that I edited the fail to make it much shorter than it actually was...so I edited the mistake, but left it in at the same time. That's a first.
