Perhaps to have been adopted by the Roman Empire instead of Christianity? Or at least tolerated instead of persecuted by the Romans? Perhaps to not be later persecuted by Chinese Empires? Perhaps spread further eastwards/northwards to more areas which didn't later covert to Islam? It's difficult to say.

After a very cute picture where @npub1p7s…3nlu described her hair as tousled, we realised we'd not often heard it pronounced out loud.
So how do you prounounce the word 'tousled'?

Interesting. I only ever came across promotional compilations on magazines. I guess that's kind of more legit at least to put a magazine interview on a CD.

2024-07-12 14:16:03

I only remember (knowingly) coming across the second kind. I agree that they always looked cheap and low quality, hence my assumption they were some kind of scam that nobody ever bought knowing what was actually on it.

The use of the asterisk and no pictures of them (isn't that the Kray twins?) does make that look like a similar thing trying to avoid being sued 🤔

2024-07-12 10:08:39

Does anyone else remember that thing in the late 1990s and early 2000s where there was some company who would take interviews of popular bands and artists of the time and release them as CDs, but labelled as if they were albums? They were seen in music shops but even more often in other business that just happened to also sell CDs. I presume the scam was to pass them off as albums and ride the hype? I was wondering: Did the scam work? Did they get sued? Was it the labels themself doing this?
