To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Now that, is the real thing!
Yeah! Now you've got me listening to Let It Be... Naked (the stripped-down remaster of the original Let It Be album).
Heard the Beatles song while working in a warehouse. Thought it sounded like Oasis. Sounded OK though. Listened again on YouTube at home. Disappointed that Lennon's voice doesn't sound enough like Lennon. Like the piano chord progressions. Going to listen to it again now.
Guitarist from Killing Joke has passed. Saw the band live in the 1980's.
Â
A bass player that I knew and jammed with many times has also left us.
Not a surprise that Shane didn't make it to old age

Just to send my best wishes over this festive season to everyone on the SSC here. Hope you all have a good one!
I love that song! Such a beautiful voice, shame she died so young! On the subject of time...
Was going to post Time by Pink Floyd buy then remembered this

R.I.P. Toby Keith...
A legendary pirate radio station is to host a special three-day broadcast to mark its 60th anniversary. Radio Caroline defied the authorities when it started broadcasting non-stop pop music, offshore, on 28 March 1964.
I feel old... very old!
Worry not Cody. Radio Caroline used to finish many a program with a song from this band. Let the years fall away with this archive footage! 😊Â
Also, after a gap of 50 years, I have decided to take up kit building again! 😋Â
Starting with this....Bell flight fourteen you now can land

Safe on the green desert sand? I was playing that track only last night!
Like submarines? Read the story of HMS Venturer.
She is the only submarine in history to have sunk another while both were submerged.
The British sub did well, given how primitive the targetting computer they were using at the time. These days, of course, it's a different matter. Purpose built hunter killer subs prowl the oceans looking for other subs. During the Cold War, the Soviets and the West had "great fun" chasing each other around the place. Thankfully, no one fired a weapon but only pings at each other. Let's hope it stays that way, but of late, I do worry somebody, somewhere is going to do something really stupid.......

I have no idea how accurate The Hunt For Red October is (I suspect extremely NOT accurate) but it is great fun
Â
I suspect it wasn't very accurate either, but that dangerous "game" of hide and seek was played out over and over all through the Cold War. It's how both sides refined and honed their tactics and technology. It's still going on too, somewhere beneath the waves...

Yep! The cat and mouse games continue, in all sorts of ways:

Duane Eddy passed recently
The Redneck Strikes Back - priceless!
