So, why are orchestras like that then?

Yeah, even Radio 3 acknowledge the value of good film music
Seem to remember Jerry Goldsmith was once their Composer of the Week.
Obvs there's some shite muzak in films, but when it's good, it no less worthy than ballet or opera.

Very catchy, and quite a coincidence - it will help me to get rid of the tune that's stuck in my head after just seeing an Ocado delivery van. For reasons I'm regretting, I decided some time ago that it should be pronounced "Ock-a-doo". I'm sure I don't need to say which song it is.

all these 'classical' things are a massive load of shit
Some are much worse than others (the Pete Tong ones are an abomination), and even the Jeff Mills one was awful. Why do musicians think that an orchestral version will somehow make their music 'better'?
Aside from that, Peter Hook is a proper tosser, sullying Joy Division and New Order's legacies with shit versions done without the rest of the band's blessing and all for the purpose of personal enrichment.

Some juicy stuff in there.

They've got to hope there's still communication between the datacentres, or they're going to have to physically visit every one.

Wouldn't it be wonderful
If Zuck had a big red killswitch that would instantly disable Facebook, all its related services and wipe all existing backups, effectively removing all trace of it from the Web forever?
I know it's technically impossible not only due to the legal ramifications, the fact that it's not just Zuckerberg in control anymore, OSS and all that other Jazz. But wouldn't it be lovely seeing the chaos that ensues? For about a month anyway, which is about how long it takes people to realise that Facebook is a load of shit that they never really needed anyway.
Edit: On that note - did anyone else see this? Robozuck needs to work on his delivery. Assuming the menacing tone wasn't intentional.

Political timing?
A DOS attack seems more likely than someone deliberately pulling the plug to remind people how much they rely on Facebook.
A coincidence seems more likely than either.

His picking coordination is mind boggling. If you play guitar at all you will know how incredibly hard the trick at 1:30 is and he does it perfectly.
His taste in video post production maybe not so much (probably not his choice)

roy clark was a great guitarist, and probably a bit underrated because he did the comedy schtick. Ray stevens was the same, though not in Roy's class. Glenn Campbell I reckon could give Roy a run for his money, did all that work with the wrecking crew before his solo career
here's one with roy and ray and willie nelson looking on, who looks uncomfortable not being high:
