Naughty By Nature: O.P.P. Remixes

Ellie@ellierae· 6d

It's been a while since I last bought a new album on cassette! At some point I'll have to fix one of my tape players so I can actually play it. 😆 I really like how the sleeve folds out on this one, too. @theanchoress.bsky.social

A photo of the cassette edition of The Anchoress album As We Once Were.

The cassette's card sleeve has been opened to show the cassette itself, which is yellow with a white paper label. The sleeve is cross-shaped, which, when closed, folds together. The inside panels of the sleeve has the full credits for each track of the album.

You have not experienced Red Dead Redemption II until you have played it in the original NES... or something. 😆 (I originally did this back in 2018, I thought I'd lost it but nope)

Ellie@ellierae· 18d

Well, I've waited this long for GTA VI, I might as well wait a bit longer and get it when Mastertronic re-release it at a budget price. 😆 (Oh, the exciting things I do with my Friday nights...)

Ellie@ellierae· 19d

Something I like to do occasionally; I can't find decent quality artwork for my music library? Eh, I'll just re-create it.

Post a perfect album from the 90's that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains

The cover art for The Orb's album U.F.Orb. The image is of a computer-generated image of a huge 16-point star-shaped space ship (I think!) with a couple of small planets around it. The Album's title is shown in large rounded letters, with 'u' and 'f' down the left and 'o', 'r' and 'b' along the bottom.

A mock-up of the Star Trek: The Next Generation show titles. The Enterprise-D is shown orbiting a planet, and at the top left is "One Gul, Four Lights"

It feels like this is the only top I could wear today. End of an era.

Repost with your first crush

Ellie@ellierae· Apr 16

what perfect album came out when you were 16?

Ellie@ellierae· Apr 9

share an image you can hear 🖤

A screen capture of the opening shot of the movie Blade Runner. This is a view of 'future' Los Angeles at night showing a sprawling city of skyscrapers of which you can barely see the outlines, as it's mostly just lights as far as the eye can see. There's also some belches of flame shooting out of some of the taller buildings.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS BLATTER

Ellie@ellierae· Feb 17

Having said that, I did kinda want the Picard logo to use that TNG-style logo...

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19

The cover art for the album Endtroducing.... by DJ Shadow. The cover is a photo of a couple of DJ Shadow's friends in a record shop, Chief Xcel on the left holding some records under his left arm, and Lyrics Born on the right who's wearing a wig and headphones. Lyrics Born however seems to have looked up at the time the photo was taken as his head is blurred.

F1 had a rebrand a few years ago yet for some reason they *still* can't fix the sodding kerning in their text. Sort it out, Liberty! #F1 #Formula1 #Kerning #Typography

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars”, “Star Trek”, “Dr. Who”, or “Transformers.”

An image of Ava from the movie Ex/Machina. She's looking at the camera and her face looks human, however the rest of her is mechanics covered in a silver mesh.

Well, that was fun.

Flashback is my all time fave, I've got it on the Amiga and SNES but tend to go for the Mega Drive version. I often have a Mega Bomberman session too. Syndicate on the Amiga is another I love going back to a lot and if I'm ever on my ZX Spectrum I always play Rogue Trooper.

Over 30 selfie thread. I'm 49.

A selfie of Ellie, who’s smiling at the camera on a bright, sunny day, with the sun behind her head creating a big of a glow around her. Her long brown hair is down and she’s wearing a beanie, white headphones, glasses, large silver hoop earrings, a rainbow-coloured scarf and a brown and blue checkered fleece jacket.

Behind her in the distance is some trees.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star (Wars or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Ellie@ellierae· Nov 13

Well, seeing as it’s Lando’s birthday…

Show your age by a cartoon you loved as a kid

A still from Jamie and the Magic Torch, showing Jamie on the right, with big rig hair and yellow pyjamas holding a blue and yellow torch in this hand. To the left is his dog Wordsworth, an Old English Sheepdog who's wearing a red hat. Behind them is a colourful outdoor scene.

I need to up my sticker game on my TD-3. 😉

A photo of my Behringer TD-3, a clone of the Roland TB-303. My TD-3 is a slightly translucent blue, with silver print on it, plus silver knobs and keys. It also has a sticker on it by Mona Mauve depicting a cat on a skateboard holding a trans flag with its tail.

Ellie@ellierae· Oct 9

Well... shit. 😆

An image of FIRST TO DIE in white letters on top of a backgrounf og black with some red fuzzy blobs. Bits of skeleton? Not sure...

It’s Star Trek Day! 🖖 To mark the occasion I’ve decided to have a “Tribble Treble” and watch the original series’ The Trouble With Tribbles, followed by the animated series’ More Tribbles, More Troubles and then finally Deep Space Nine’s Trials Ans Tribble-ations. #StarTrek #StarTrekDay #Tribbles

I just did this and got a fairly high score. I did a couple of similar tests last year and got the same kind of result so nice to get a bit more confirmation.

A screenshot of my results from the cati-autism.com test. My total scale result is 154; 97-119 is non-autistic and 148-163 is autistic.

My scores for the subscales are as follows:
Social Interactions: 32 (non-autistic: 15-28, autistic: 25-33)
Communication: 23 (non-austistic: 11-18, autistic: 18-26)
Social Camouflage: 22 (non-autistic: 15-23.5, autistic: 23-31)
Self-Regulatory Behaviour: 24 (non-autistic: 14-24, autistic: 24-31)
Cognitive (In)Flexibility: 30 (non-autistic: 19-27, autistic: 26-32)
Sensory Sensitivity: 23 (non-autistic: 14-24, autistic: 24-32)

I was actually in the mood to work on some music for the first time in a while and just remembered that my drum machine can run on batteries, so I’m gonna sit in the garden for a bit and work on some beats. It’s a shame the lights on the buttons are a bit hard to see, though.

A photo of my Roland TR-6S drum machine (sorry, ‘rhythm performer’) which is resting on my lap. The drum machine is back with four knobs at the top, six sliders at the middle plus an array of buttons all over. I’m wearing a floral print skirt, a cross-legged and am sitting on a seat cushion which is on a step outside my garden office.

Sitting in the nice cool garden having my breakfast and watching a little caterpillar having a walk across the patio. I thought I’d take a photo, which got the attention of one of my cats who was out here with me. They seem to be saying hello to each other.

A closeup of a yellow and black striped caterpillar on a grey stone slab which is reaching up as a black and white cat sniffs it. Only the nose and mouth of the cat is in view.

I’m very much in a ‘90s dance mood at the moment, after spending the last couple of days listening to loads of mid-‘90s Underworld stuff I’m now revisiting this old Cream Live Two album from ‘96 with mixes from Paul Oakenfold, Nick Warren and James Lavelle. #NowPlaying #CreamLiveTwo #90sDanceMusic

Ellie@ellierae· Jun 25

Currently playing this old '80s compilation, there's a lot of classics on this one! #NowPlaying #TheHits #80sMusic #MusicSky
