Even so it's not enough
Bruised and burned we won't lose heart
And just because life gets hard
Writing lying e-mails to our friends back home
Feeling guilty if we sometimes wanna be alone
Hand cannot erase this love
Hand cannot erase this love
And a love like this makes us strong
We laugh it off if things go wrong
It's not you, forgive me if i find i need more space
Cause trust means we don't have to be together everyday
Hand cannot erase this love
Hand cannot erase this love
Hand cannot erase this love
Hand cannot erase this love
Usenet user, yes. Back in the 90s and indeed before, Usenet was the only online discussion medium. Sadly, netiquette was obeyed more in the breach than the observance, and in the groups I hung out in abuse, insults, and threats of violence were commonplace. A precursor to todays antisocial media, though at least with Usenet you had to make the effort to get a newsreader and connect to a NNTP server, unlike now when there is no practical obstacle between subconscious and keypad.
It did have other uses, mostly for distributing pornography in alt.binaries groups, though there were some newsgroups (moderated, natch) where light outshone heat, and civilised discussion and knowledge sharing took place. It's still going.
Ah, Usenet!
Garantat 100% cu Steven Wilson (@TVR1)
Well now that's just cruel. ; )
The range of songs is greater than this one and the Raven. From almost light pop to jazz to edgier rock.
I really like it.
I have always looked at Facebook as a way to stay minimally connected to people I know. That's all I'm really looking for. I am on the autism spectrum and I have significant social anxiety, so all I really want to do is be aware of some of the things that are going on in the lives of people I barely know or, more realistically, have known, whether that be pictures of their kids, what their views are, or random shit that fancies their tickle. (My list of friends is fairly small: people I know locally or online, or schoolmates from 30yr ago.)
I'm not using Facebook as a way to have substantial conversation (both quality & quantity) with the people that I am closest to; if I want that, I talk to them on the phone or meet them face-to-face. But realistically there are very few persons with whom I am interested in having a meaningful discourse.
Facebook is not trying to replace personal interactions. Just let me type something quick that is mildly witty or insightful or encouraging, or just watch a stupid cat video, and leave it at that.
Not to mention FOMO. Whoops, I just did.

Thanks for sharing its an excellent article
Last night I stumbled across the best interview with Steven Wilson I have read to date:
Mar 02, 2015 By Stephen Humphries WEB EXCLUSIVE
Pasted excerpt:
Stephen Humpries (Under the Radar): Tell me why you gravitated toward a contemporary news headline story in Hand.Cannot.Erase.
Steven Wilson: I lived in the city for many years. I never knew my next-door neighbors. I never knew their names, what they did for a living; they didn't know what I did for living or my name. That's typical of what it means to live in the city these days. It is a 21st-century malaise in a way. Maybe it's paranoia, or everybody is too busy. But it also has lots to do with technology and the fact that we increasingly interact with each other through technology.
We have this thing now called social media, which is nothing of the kind. It is, of course, anti-social media, because it encourages people to disconnect from each other. It encourages people to hide behind almost fantasy versions of themselves. There is a version of themselves that they present on Facebook. This is not reality. This is not a real life.
Many friends of mine cannot fathom why I wouldn't want a Facebook account. And the reason is this: It seems like the most impersonal way of conducting relationships. I'd much rather write individual letters—emails—to friends or pick up the phone. On Facebook, everyone carefully curates what they present to friends so that you'd think they were living charmed, trouble-free lives. Or they boast a lot. You never get to know what their lives are really like because it's a public broadcast.
One of the problems with Facebook and social networking is that it encourages everyone to feel like the minutiae of their lives is worthy of publishing for other people to read. And of course, it isn't. I'm sure they have wonderful lives. But they're not particularly interesting for other people. We're not interested in what you had for breakfast, or that you went to the supermarket, or that you're at a party or at a bar with some friends. In a way, it is almost like an Andy Warhol "15 minutes of fame" thing. Everyone now has the opportunity to have the illusion of celebrity. You've published your life online for other people to see.
One of the most unfortunate aspects of the human psyche, ego, the narcissism, is the need to be validated by having your life observed by other people. Of course, that is what reality TV shows tap into. The 21st century, unfortunately has facilitated it through social media and reality television. For me, it's not a particularly positive development.

I might have stuck to moderated more technical or special UseNet fora back in the day. And thus would have missed the nastier fora.
It was before my time but I believe the internet and UseNet in particular got a big push from folks seeking medical information.
Canadians always rant on about how 'nice' they are. I find most American sub-cultures much nicer actually. On occasion, the Americans can do civil exchange extremely well.
That is where I was introduced to netiquette. And discovered that in some American sub-cultures, you would run across some of the most fair-minded, civil people to be found anywhere on the planet.

Usenet :) ur an old timer! Well in Internet terms, anyway.

P.S. If you are a 'fan', then you must check out Wilson's latest EP "4 1/2".

Hey Stich,
I highly recommend the CD. Superlative from front to finish.
Upbeat? During Steven Wilson's concert in Vancouver last June, he told the audience that his manager considered the song Routine to be one of the saddest songs he had ever listened to.

You just bitch slapped Steve
For me it was definitely Manic Street Preachers until I took a look at the browser and read SW... not that this is a bad thing, though, not at all.
lucky you
SW always makes great shows
lucky you
will not play well on a radio station, even when it is eclectic. But it is a shame. Finally someone that understands prog.
Regret #9 is fabulous. Terrific CD. Not exactly easy-listening 'pop' but brilliant all the same.
SW has exceeded himself yet again, phenomenal record.
10
A middling 6 for now.
a small part of light pop was on the last album, too. I am exicted how the new album will.
The lighter pop sound makes me think of Porcupine Tree Stranger by the minute as well as the Blackfield material.
Old Genesis fans should love this.
Sounds awesome, very early-PT era.
Now can we get over this solo thing and get Porcupine Tree back together?
The range of songs is greater than this one and the Raven. From almost light pop to jazz to edgier rock.
I really like it.
YES! I liked it immediately and from there it only grew on me. Saw it performed live in Phoenix and could not have been more impressed.
