UFO Robot

Stefania Rotolo's 1979 performance of "UFO Robot" (a 1978 hit in Italy by Actaurus) on RAI's Tilt is a bit like a live-action version of the short-lived Partridge Family 2200 AD cartoon and — possibly — a more accurate depiction of things to come.

Welcome to Hell

Lileks has a new site! It's not quite finished - well, I'll let him say it:

Hey, it’s an unfinished site with only one thing on it! That must mean it’s in “beta.” But since there’s a lot of content in that one link, then it’s maximum beta - or, to make it really super 70s, “Betamax!” Ha ha. Can I write for the Hudson Brothers’ Summertime replacement variety show now?

Don’t know who the Hudson Brothers were? We’ll get to that.

But what's there so far is a blast.
